For frauds

 

I think it has some good songs but the narrative story it tells feels forced and unnatural, like it was tacked on after the loose songs were made. His execution on telling a cohesive story song to song is so much stronger in damn and TPAB, so looking back it just feels like a lower level.

 

I just mean that GKMC has all the "hits" - I agree about the storytelling aspect of the album as a whole

 

my krazy life had the better cohesive story tbh

 

It’s not only better than GKMC, it’s better than any Kendrick album

 

MKL did GKMC better I agree

 

But both albums are great

 

da fuk?

 

YG has two incredible albums

He doesn't get the respect that other rappers do but he deserves it

 

the problem is everything else after that has been eh to bad so it’s hard

 

you said it not me

 

Call me an old head, but I never felt like I was hearing something I hadn’t heard before when listening to Kendrick, but My Krazy Life felt fresh to me. Also aside from anything else I like to listen to YG rapping way more.

 

The songs on MKL just flow so well feels like a story

 

I can get down with this

 

My Krazy Life for me personally is the probably the most important rap album of the decade

 

By the way, I loved Still Brazy, but unlike MKL it also didn’t feel all that new to me either

 

Part of my I love Still Brazy so much was that people insisted YG couldn't make a good album without DJ Mustard. But then he showed he's a great rapper on his own

 

This is true, but I still think they work best together

 

Then he started making music with DJ Mustard again and Still Brazy was so much better lol

 

I don’t know man that EP right after SB was pretty wild

 

twist my fingaz is the best song tbh

 

Yeah that's good. I forget about tbh

 

I'd put it second to FDT

 

I remember being like damn how is he going to sound good without dj mustard and then I heard twist my fingaz and I was like ketchup is better anyways

 

Loved MKL from the first listen, feels like a fundamental hip hop album for me even if I had already been listening to the genre for over a half-decade. Still Brazy took a long time to click but now I might actually think it's better. The sense of paranoia that pervades that album is genuinely stirring. Wish his later stuff held up with the first two albums.

This loosie is still an all timer.
