I am ready to declare To Pimp a Butterfly better than good kid, m.A.A.d city. I just had an absolutely tremendous listen to it. There's nothing even approaching a bad song. It flows impeccably well, and some of the transitions are just incredibly strong, in particular Hood Politics > How Much a Dollar Cost and Complexion > The Blacker the Berry. There are moments that make tears well up in my eyes, like How Much a Dollar Cost, the very ending of Mortal Man, even the dark finish to the final verse of Blacker the Berry is so intense it can make me well up a bit. Just a truly brilliant album.
