It deserves the praise imo but It's still too early for the "classic" label since it hasn't even been 48 hours since it dropped

This track "How Much a Dollar Cost" is one of the best songs I've ever heard. God taking the form of a homeless man to test him. Kendrick realizing his selfishness led him to his fame. Kendrick did a great job illustrating the story. Overall this album is great to me. Its low key a christian album.

Classics do by definition have time constraints but the album is a masterpiece and that's the only thing that's keeping it from being one right now. The album is what it is, 1,2, or 5 years isn't going to change the content.

I thought GKMC was a classic. The storytelling really made it great. But I do think TPAB is a masterpiece too. All I know when I heard Illmatic for the first time I knew it was a classic. I feel the same way about this album. Album is so soulful to me..

That's why I think the sound is so important, it's not on some flavor of the month or year steez like snap music, or the Migos flow that damn near everyone has now. Jazz, funk, soul music in itself is timeless and the production on this was top notch.

If anything, I'd rather call it a modern classic. Classics are albums that changed the game in some way. I can't put this on the level of a Straight Outta Compton because this isn't going to change Hip Hop like that did.

I agree 100%,I for one applaud the fact that he decided to go with more funk/jazz infused productions. You don't see that too often in a major Hip Hop album anymore,I love that he doesn't shy from taking risks at all. It has all the elements of a timeless album but like I said before,only time will tell. It's looking likely though.

You're right on. This album will be timeless due to the soul/jazzy production. Why Illmatic is still beautiful to listen too.

Because I didn't call it a classic. But I can see why someone would call it one. But let's be real, you telling me that Kendrick won't be eating/touring off this album for the next year and a half-2 years?

Definitely feel this, in comparison to the rest of the album. The first three tracks are probably what put people off. I wasn't expecting that type of sound, and was relieved when I got to Institutionalized. I listened to Wesley's Theory again while looking at the lyrics and damn they are really solid. The beginning is just starting to come around for me. I just can't get over those bubble type sounds
