Better Album 2k15: Lupe Fiasco – "Tetsuo & Youth" vs Kendrick Lamar - "To Pimp a Butterfly"

[bless the child]

I like both but I haven't really listened to Tetsuo and Youth since it came out. In comparison, it got old faster than TPAB did so imma go with TPAB. It has more replay value for me.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Two best albums of the year so far but ima go with kdot

 

[Like Water]

I'm still enjoying both very much. Throw in Joey and Action and that's gonna be the rotation for awhile.

Still, I'm a lyricist at heart, and it'll be hard to usurp Lu from my top spot.

 

[Weazel]

Pffff, it's getting better after every listening.

 

[sapp08_2001]

This shit is fire no need to compare

 

[LcnsdbyROYALTY]

Goin with Lu on this one

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

What you mean by full album?

What do you know? Who sent you?

3 months later and T&Y still gets straight through burn. TPAB is a couple of weeks in and my playlist is down to 6 songs.

 

[BobOblah]

Kendrick woulda probably had AOTY on lock if Lupe didn't already come through and crush the buildings.

Switching back and forth between these albums every day is GOAT right now. It's close, but TPAB is just not hitting as hard as Testuo and Youth.

 

[black caesar]

Still listening to both albums again to decide, but I know lyrically, KDot is not seeing Lupe, and Kendrick is that dude.

That would be a rap battle I would pay to see.

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

It was hard to choose yet imo Lupe has the LYROCAL EDGE.

 

[clippyclipp n*gga]

i'm going with kdot production is lacking on a few track on lupe joints on this album. and some of the tracks are wayyyy too long.

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

This was easy

 

[MontyM.Max]

Gotta sit with Kendrick shit for a minute. But i was just telling my nigga that Lupe could make an album similar to TPAB if he wanted. I don't think anybody else could make T&Y.

 

[DOPEdweebz]

Lupe is killing Kenny.

 

[Ranxx]

Love T&Y but TPAB has way more heart

 

[HustleThaDon]

Not even close

 

[The Hue]

Absolutely love both of these albums, so I just picked the one that made me think more.

 

[power_wisdom]

Both are incredible pieces of work from both artists. I was very impressed with both. But I go with Lupe, because it start better. Kendrick start ok and got uncomfortable when he start about his dick ain't free. But after that it was flames. So Lupe by a little.
