Another meticulously crafted album that employed legions of writers, producers and musicians (including jazz pianist Robert Glasper and jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington). Six people wrote Wesley's Theory, including George Clinton, and four produced it, including Flying Lotus. Nine people are credited as writers for the funk-fest King Kunta, making it de facto a collage. The producers threw in more live instruments, resulting in a sound that is more revivalist than innovative, but also a sound that helps the general theatrical atmosphere. For better and for worse, The Blacker the Berry is the epitome of this emphatically pointless but fashionable avant-jazz-rap music. I begins as an olf-fashioned synth-pop hit of the 1980s before it begins to sound like a James Brown parody (with the lyrics "the number one rapper in the world" and "i love myself") accented by a jovial piano figure. The best psychodrama is possibly one of the simplest songs, the melodic funk-soul These Walls, and the best political sermon the equally straightforward funk ditty Hood Politics. But the music is secondary to the histrionics and it doesn't matter that the catchy and danceable Alright stands in opposition of the industrial beat that derails Momma, a fact that could account for at least eclecticism. This is a superficial and, ultimately, middle-of-the-road album from an artist who lacks the visceral energy of Public Enemy and Tackhead while also lacking the poetic depth of Kanye West and the musical genius of El-P. He tries to be all of them at once, but maybe he would be most credible if he were just himself: a brilliant script-writer of fictionalized real-life stories: the Christian parable How Much a Dollar Cost presents God disguised as a homeless man, and Mortal Man interviews the ghost of dead rapper 2Pac. 6/10

write a review of Good kid M.a.a.d City.
The over-hyped Good Kid M.A.A.d. City (2012) was still a poor effort in musical terms, therefore relying mostly on an autobiographical storytelling that was certainly more literate than the average. Hence the generic soulful spleen of Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe and Swimming Pools, the self-celebratory The Art of Peer Pressure, and the twelve-minute documentary Sing About Me I'm Dying of Thirst. Sensual and playful songs such as Poetic Justice and Backseat Freestyle transcend the concept and aim for more relaxed entertainment, but only the vocal magic of Money Trees achieves a superior balance of the two modes. 6.5/10

Fuck that lyrical shit. Got me schleep

Very good but not too keen on the black power message. I have my doubts that he wrote every lyric

possibly the best album ive heard its very conceptual and wellproduced

It's pretty fucking good and funky and hard-hitting

>>75059393
Not a big fan of rap but I don't like it generally. Love King Kunta and the poem shit that runs through the album, breddy gud.

>>75060544
Damn it fuck I meant I do like it generally god fuck

>>75059393
i've never listened to it and don't intend to but it looks like they probably had fun shooting the cover image

Garbage

Interesting the first listen, not a lot of replay value. Bogged down by all the God shit and the shitty fanbase. A few good songs on here, I liked Wesley's Theory and Hood Politics the most.

The B-Sides are more enjoyable, but I still get a kick in the stomach whenever I listen to tracks like u and Mortal Man, and continue to fall into the dreamlike worlds of Momma and You Ain't Gotta Lie (Momma Said). 7.8/10

>>75059393
I dunno, I feel conflicted

>>75060711
I remember you was conflicted. Misusing my powerful influence, sometimes I did the same.

It's really good maybe even great probably 7.5-8. When I'm really in the mood it's like a 9

Album of the decade and nothing really comes close. Maybe even the best rap album ever

it fucking sucks my dude

solid 7 out of 10, good throwback hiphop but too self indulgent and LOL FUCK WHITEY to be taken too seriously, however there are a couple 10/10 tracks (For Sale, u, i, These Walls)

>>75062684
Good taste, For Sale is my favorite Kendrick song behind Untitled 06
