Duckworth isn't that impressive and neither are those other tracks except maybe the after beat switch on DNA.
808s, Yeezus, and MBDTF are my favorites, people who like those two generally love MBDTF as well so if you're in the minority it's for that.
Kendrick isn't Kanye.
Only competes with him on TPAB.
My top 3 Kanye album are:
1. MBDTF
2. 808's
3. Yeezus
Seems weird to me that you can like those two but not MBDTF.
Kendrick need to stop playin and announce an extension of the tour already. First the Golden 1 Center announces that he's coming to Sacon Aug 13 on Mon, then takes it down later that day. Then Kendrick's site lists Sac on the 13th, and San Jose on the 12 of Aug, then takes it down the next day.
Stop playin breh. I'm tryna get a ticket

That's correct. Kendrick is the far superior mc. That's irrefutable.
Four pages in and this a Kanye top three albums thread, lol. Something Something College dropout, late registration, and graduation.
Kendrick exposes Drake again as a lightweight
MBDTF is a fricken masterpiece, Kanye at his peak there.

Can't discuss hip hop on GAF because Ye stans ruin every thread.
Embarassing.
Embarassing.
I mean, every single time 😅
DAMN. is fantastic, congratulations to Kung Fu Kenny. My most listened piece of the year so far, and up there with his previous work. XXX, Duckworth and DNA are the standouts, but the whole thing is just superb.
I mean, thread was already dead. Yeezus resurrects.
I'm a Ye stan and I'm getting embarrassed. I keep my stannery to the dedicated Kanye threads thank you very much.
TLOP > DAMN. #facts

MBDTF is my favorite album of all time, but no. Kendricks discography is on pace to run laps around kanye's.

After that list, I'm curious what you consider to be Kendrick's only good song.
Nothing will take away how much of an unprecedented comeback and second wind that MBDTF was. It was the perfect album that Ye could've put out back then. So Appalled is still one of my favorite tracks he's ever put out.
I don't think it's as great in it's present tense though, especially once you realize that, back then before we "knew" what kind of person Kanye was and what he wanted out of life, his figurative Dark Fantasy came across as an incredibly self-conscious takedown on the tabloid fodder lifestyle that media tried to paint of him. But now with Yeezus, The Life of Pablo and his entire social media presence, it's kind of hard not to look at MBDTF and see that everything he raps about is something presented without irony, without self awareness and is essentially a self-congratulatory biography of things he actually wanted out of life - and things he actually doubled down on and ended up fulfilling.
Kind of the opposite of DAMN when you think about it; since Kendrick consciously evokes a destructive, contradictory side to him that counters preconceived notions by embodying them and slowly tearing them down - but unlike MBDTF there's no pretense that suggests Kendrick is as egotistical as the tracks on here would suggest. At least not currently anyway.

i consume a large amount of music so i expect different things for it
i never joke about music
Really? Kanye has made some of the most memorable music in all of hip hop. Street Lights, Through the Wire, Devil in a New Dress, Gone, We Major, Blood on the Leaves... man I could keep going for a long time with songs as good or better than Kendrick's best. Don't let Kanye's personality make you forget he is a once in a generation talent.
He is about halfway to the point where that conversation can be had. There's a lot of work left for him to do.

I surely hope you mean the G.O.O.D. Friday version of devil in a new dress and not the album release version
Man is 100 percent right, lol
