I am sure it is the instrumentation that got people feeling otherwise about this album... if it had beats like on GKMC most people would be all over it, which is fine, you cannot please everybody.

He definitely had a lot to say and he wanted that to be the main focus, he took a huge risk at going left with this album and he did a good job at crafting it.

To me, this is his "Nigger/Untitled" art piece.

 

[qawshun]

I dunno bout this one. Good kid had me by the 1st few tracks this one took like 5 songs in for me to be like yeah this is dope. Gonna give it some more burn tho. But if i gotta compare cole and k.dot based on the last efforts cole got him.

But why your hairline look like it been around the way. Look like you got a bowl cut on the front. Why you don't got no definition like you just said fuck it, i'm just gonna go with a half moon today.. Ol imma wear my grand mama style today ass nigga. Ratatouille looking cornball. I hope you cooking something up in the kitchen to compete with Kendrick.

Like I've said since the night this album surprisingly dropped, I can see a part 2 of this album dropping. Although I'm vibing with this album, something is missing. I think it needs a couple hood songs like GKMC had.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Why does every album discussion gotta devolve into a pointless debate over the ability of other MC's. Don't we have those dedicated threads already? The fuck that gotta do with the quality and content of the album.

Had the Internet been around in 82' niggas would've been on here calling Thriller trash b/c in their opinion MicJack can't hold a note like Ron Isley.

If you go into your critique and your point centers itself around a project being trash because it's not "album x," then Ima need both you & your typing fingers to shut the entire fuck up.

It's crazy to see ppl not liking the production. Pure musicianship going on here. Dudes in the studio with saxophones, trumpets, bass guitars, pianos, guitars, real drums, & Rhodes. I feel like my Jazz loving Dad would appreciate this body of work. Guess it's a style thing.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

No skippable tracks

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

Wasn't feeling the album don't be mad I have my own opinions and I am not a sheep. They forcing the hell out of Kendrick though like he the 2nd coming.......he took a step back with this album

Not feeling this album at all

You must me a cracka then

Nigga the album is underwhelming and I don't care what your subject matter is if it's wack

One of the worst albums I heard in awhile

....Suffering From Poverty Eardrum Syndrome Perhaps?

No Nigga I just don't fucking like the album that much

Agreed. The shit was pretentious and self-indulgent. Shit just doesnt sound good. Mufuckas doing too much and forcing shit

DAMMIT MAN!

Yess Yess ..Its Worse Than I Initially Thought... As I Expected ... It Looks Like We Have A Devastating TRIPLE Dose Case Of P.E.S (Poverty Eardrum Syndrome) On Our Hands Here ...UnFuckingbelievable Its Spreading Rapidly These Days And Unfortunately For You Young Fellas It Seems To Have Hit You Hard With No Signs Of Remission...

You Know I Just Pray You Dont Blame Yourself For Your ..... "Problem" ... And Dammit I Pray That You Dont Pass It On To The Got Damn Children!!!... They Dont Deserve This Shit... I'd Hate To See Your Seeds Fall Victim To Hereditary Defects Feel ME?

Fuck off. Im older. I listen to all types of shit from classical to rock to jazz. like all kinds of hip-hop from old to newThe music itself was very discordant, jarring while the lyrical approach was vapid and pseudo-intellectual. like i said..totally fucking pretentious and self-indulgent...

GOT DAMMIT YOU STOP THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW!

..... you will never get better if you don't ACCEPT YOUR PROBLEM....you are DEFECTIVE ... like one of them busted ass George Forman grills chilling in a returns bin at Walmarts customer service department... Your advanced P.E.S has rendered your listening ability largely useless

Now Dammit Its Time To Stop The Shenanigans ..be a grown up And Face The Fact That YOU ARE BROKEN... this is the only way you can move on...

Im Sorry.... It Is What It Is Dammit... Blame Your Creator

foh nigga...my musical taste is not governed by your opinion. that shit is intellectual music for halfwits. you niggas in this generations music has been so shitty that less shittier shit seems like the shit by comparison. that shit is basically a soundtrack for beta males. imean come the fuck on. the nigga alludes to lucy/lucifer being some sort of antagonists but slips in the same luciferean values muddled between the wordplay and half cocked rants hidden in a bunch of unnecessary vocal embellishments and yet more rambling wordplay. socially based music is cloying when its that heavy handed and heavy handed served abstract is that much more annoying when there is no connecting factor. ima need you to eat a hot bowl of braised blood clots with a rusty safety pin.

It's ok my nigga ....we're your friends here ...we know this must be hard on you ...so me and @stonecoldmikey are organizing a cookie drive to help raise money for P.E.S research ....cos dammit no one deserves to suffer the way you are ...and it just breaks me up to know this shit has claimed another victim....this shit ain't fair!

We're going to have snicker doodles white choclate macadamia and peanut butter (my favorite!) .....listen brother we will fight this thing head on as one!

I'm gonna get the movement started on twitter now

#FuckP.E.S

....think we should make some T-Shirts?

Thats the thing... I like jazz. I go deep in the crates on that shit. When I said the production sounds like Dangermouse doing a bad Robert Glasper impression I was being deadly accurate. I can appreciate his ATTEMPT but ....the shit sounds discordant to a musical ear...especially how they decided to do the vocals. If you fucking with jazz YOU GOTTA KNOW WHEN TO ROCK THE BREAKS. Sonically the nigga was doing too much and not enough at the same time

This is exactly why some people may not like the album.

For some people, there is too much jazz & spoken word in the album. It's missing a couple songs that are straight hood.......'Money Trees' and "swimming Pools' for example.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

An album doesn't need those type of songs on there. If they can't get jiggy with this then whatever

My contention on that wise is Im a fan of jazz and spoken word. Being that Im familiar with it, to my ears he definitely tried to go that route but IT WAS DONE POORLY. If youre going to go there then the shit needs to be done RIGHT. Your dad would probably say it sucks too

 

[judahxulu]

Its like that bullshit Alice Coltrane was putting out. You wanna get behind it because of the Coltrane name. If youre a jazz fan you were "supposed" to like it. But the shit was totally an exercise in her ego and sub-par. Thats what Kenny is on this album. Fucking Alice Coltrane.

 

[bindayvez79]

Alright is a banger for those who say there's no bangers.

 

[bindayvez79]

I think niggas who saying it's wack are just skimming through it. This album is so layered you're not going to get it if you listen to the first minute and skip to the next one.

 

[judahxulu]

Bleek: But the jazz, you know if we had to dep... if we had to depend upon black people to eat, we would starve to death. I mean, you've been out there, you're on the bandstand, you look out into the audience, what do you see? You see Japanese, you see, you see West Germans, you see, you know, Slabobic, anything except our people - it makes no sense. It incenses me that our own people don't realize our own heritage, our own culture, this is our music, man.

Shadow Henderson: That's bullshit.

Bleek: Why?

Shadow Henderson: [slurred] It's all bullsh... Everything, everything you just said is bullshit. Out of all the people in the world, you never gave anybody else, and look, I love you like a step-brother, but you never gave nobody else a chance t- to play their own music, you complain about... That's right, the people don't come because you grandiose motherfuckers don't play shit that they like. If you played the shit that they like, then people would come, simple as that. ( From "Mo' Better Blues" for you wannabe music afficinado mufuckas)

 

[J.J._Evans]

Alright is a banger for those who say there's no bangers.

I feel that way about 'How Much A Dollar Cost'. My point is that GKMC had multiple songs like that.

Then again, like someone else pointed, maybe this album needs to grow on people.

Since when do you have to study good music to know if its good or not? Yall overthink shit. if I have to force myself to listen numerous times to like then the shit is wack yo. REGARDLESS of subject matter. I give him props on trying on that wise but lets not let that obscure the fact that musis IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND GOOD and that enjoying music is not a cerebral exercise before it is sonically pleasing
