Dark Sky Paradise > TPAB
Damn > I decided
The biggest problem with Kendrick is he has become the monster backpack rappers wanted. They wanted a God who could lead the charts sales wise and still have a lyrical/woke message. The issue with this is Kendricks message at times if overthought and over analyzed and can't be translated into real life shit.
To me big Sean has done a better job in spots at talking about the importance of family, dropping fuck niggas from your circle, and facing crazy bitches/adversity. I decided wasn't as good at this but dark sky paradise captured this shit so well. On a surface level this simpler message is easier to apply to life and also does it in a way where the messages can bang in the whip or be played at the club (I don't fuck with you for example). While Kendrick is a better rapper Sean's message can be enjoyed in more parts of life and be applied in more ways to real issues like fuck nigga friends, family dying, etc etc. Kendrick could never make One Man Can Change the World or Sunday Morning Jetpack type songs. Them shits are just so direct and don't require a first church of Kendrick commentary bible to digest.
Gtfoh. DSP aint fuckin with TPAB at all. Tell ya momma i said that shit
To me Dark Sky Paradise is a more versatile album than TPAB. Even kendrick said he has thoughts of not performing TPAB songs in future tours. TPAB feels like a rent an activist/pander to backpack rap album. Dark Sky Paradise talks about real shit in a more direct way.
To each his own. TPAB was much more mature and had different themes throughout the album that any black man could relate to. DSP is Big Sean's best work next to Detroit but doesnt hold up in comparison. Two very different products
