Its also a faster moving album, which is a good change for him. I just felt like the project came across as preachy and pretentious rather than good kid maad city which was amazing story telling and emotion.ĭAMN feels like a good in between of the two, there is some great production and lyrically hes impressive as usual.

And yeah it was cool that he pieced together that Tupac interview with himself, but people were acting like he was a god for it. I certainly agreed with some of the stuff he said on the album, but some of it was ridiculous and just too far in one direction. My problem with it was lyrically it felt way too preachy and like he was feeding into this persona that was being created of him. I enjoyed songs on To Pimp a Butterfly, some of it was really catchy and I liked his experimentation and the jazz influence. The entire cohesiveness, the lyrics, the emotion, the fact that its a concept album that fits together perfectly and that the non music parts of it are interesting to listen to, especially loved how he ended it with him borrowing the van. Good Kid Maad City is just one of those once in a decade albums that just can't be expected to be recreated or future albums to be made as good. It's way better than To Pimp a Butterfly but it's no Good Kid Maad City.
