End Of 2015 "best of" lists.....

[CRAZY-HORSE]

I saw Tem yesterday at his cd store....
we discussed our "top albums of 2015"....
he listened to some 400 2015 releases this year and rated Kendrick Lamar's album as the best album he heard...

as it seems to be on or near the top of every list I will have to revisit it to see what I am missing(assuming I did miss something on that one and only listen of it??!!)

here is your review from March

[B]KENDRICK LAMAR "to pimp a butterfly"

i listened to this one via Spotify earlier because it debuted at #1 on the Australian albums
chart this week....
full of your typical cliched rap/hip-hop lyrics, lots of "F","C","N","P",MF" words throughout this one...
surprisingly though, a lot of the music is actually quite funky and jazzy...
i just dont like this sort of stuff overall, i dont like anything i heard on it, and certainly nothing i could
say "oh, that one might grow on me:...just nothing there at all, unless you love the genre![/b]

and here is mine from the same thread

made it through this one
damn that was a long album
only track I like is King Kunta

will never get the constant use of the n word but whatever
not as many bitches and hos
only 5 featured artists out of 16 tracks

thanks MH.....
i don't think i'll bother revisiting it after your last two 'reminder' posts,
you saved me the pain of listening again!

[SteveO]

The Kendrick Lamar album gained high praise because of what CH said....the jazz and funk music.

[SteveO]

I have only heard five of these albums...prefer the live concert albums...studio albums tend to be subdued and not really representative of the artist's authentic talent!
