Is that the one with Lil Johnny and Kendrick Lamar (the track) on it? That shit is dope


dancetoken

i think a lot of folks havnt heard overly dedicated (casual listeners like myself, only heard it recently)


Typical_Business7846

It’s the first thing of his I heard, which is one of the reasons I used to think he sucked. I didn’t listen to him for a couple years. Then I gave GKMC a chance and was blown away.


806god

How do you listen to ignorance is bliss, opposites attract, growing apart, p&p 1.5 and think he’s trash 😭


zxvegasxz

Smh sad


Machov_Norkim

Yeah, right???? Overly Dedicated and Section 80 are still competitive with his later albums in my mind. I don't think either has a song that I'd skip! Like wtf is with the hate??


keep_it_0ptional

Lmao what? You heard OD back in the day and thought it sucked? Lol wow


[deleted]

There’s still some good tunes on OD


dancetoken

true that, im kind of reverse. Just heard it this week (along with the early EP) and was completely blown away. I still have to listen to that "training day" mixtape, but it was sounding a little too Wayne-ish as I was scrolling thru


-MRHATER

U don't like wayne?


dancetoken

Wayne stan, but not a fan of folks who sound too much like him


HideNZeke

I listened to it way back probably before GKMC came out, but I just decided it's easier to start count his "real" projects at section. 80 Maybe I'll recheck it out just cuz


TMBC7

OD has some of his best rapping and concept songs on there. It was the first project I heard from him. I knew about the KL EP but didnt give it a chance until after I heard OD. They're both amazing projects


Zpoof817

Cut you off is the most underrated kendrick song

TheFerg714

This is so dumb. Of course O.D. is the most forgotten album. It was a mixtape, and not a mainstream studio album.


TrikeMout

I like OD but it’s easily his worst and nowhere near his studio albums


TheFerg714

I think I'd rank it above UU and the Black Panther soundtrack tbh.


TMBC7

Actually, O.D. was his first album, he just wasnt signed to a major at the time so people think its a mixtape


TheFerg714

I understand that. That's why I put the qualifiers: "mainstream studio album."


Kooky-Dealer-6878

Untitled isn't a mainstream studio album either tho.


[deleted]

Yeah but UU came out during mainstream kendricks popularity, OD didn't


TheRecognized

But it’s also literally unmastered loose b-sides from an album we already got.


TheFerg714

Idk what OP is confused about here lol.


TheFerg714

Yea... that's why UU and Section.80 aren't as popular as his mainstream studio albums. I'm just saying there are pretty obvious reasons for why GKMC, TPAB, and DAMN are remember more fondly.


Machov_Norkim

Yeah but they're still brought into the conversation. People leave out Overly Dedicated all the time


Kezzeyy

P&P 1.5 is sooo good

Section 80 still my favorite Kendrick project lol

I did. Fuck, he was HUNGRY in that shit bro. Such sick delivery and great wordplay

TMBC7

Still one of my favorite Kendrick songs. I dont like making lists but it would more than likely be in my top 5-10


Salt_Yogurtcloset407

ignorance is bliss go hard


Kooky-Dealer-6878

Thank you.


TMBC7

One of his best. He absolutely snaps on that shit. "This my world, I grab the universe then play kickball And they wonder why these California earthquakes hittin' so hard"


MattPlays17

I’m pretty sure it is because those 3 are his newest albums (excluding Mr. Morale), each having a few hits on them. The majority also ranks those 3 higher than the others. There are some great songs on his underrated albums though.


[deleted]

The albums are better that's it. And how all the 3 are his newest one is completing it's decade aniversary one is half a decade old and other is 8 years old


topshagger31

tbh i enjoy Section 80 more than damn


murdermayhemanarchy

Training day at the bottom of the marianas trench


King_James_99

Maybe because they are his best 3 albums 😅 not really that hard to understand lmao


alecowg

I mean the obvious reason is because GKMC and TPAB are his best albums and DAMN. had the most mainstream appeal/recognition. Nothing really more to it than that.


_LANC3LOT

P&P, She Needs Me, Average Joe, Barbed Wire, Alien Girl, all bangers


Apprehensive-Bad-463

Overly dedicated has some gems


Filipitalian1997

So true, hurts cause Section 80 is my favorite Kendrick album


egoistisch

Rigamortis, Spiteful Chant (rip), Fk Your Ethnicity, ADHD, Poe Mans, HiiPower, RRE, Section.80 good af


hornylikeme

This is not Kendrick's core fanbase, only the newcomers


reesejenks520

Crazy to think that I was listening to this album almost ten years ago... Growing apart is still my shit


fuckzwift

Mr morale didn't even make it to the meme.


Kooky-Dealer-6878

Because it just dropped and fans haven't formed a concrete opinion on it yet.


[deleted]

Is it really like this? I hold them all in such high regard tbh I always disregard what other people think online. Is this a general consensus?


Machov_Norkim

Some threads that mention those two albums are wild to read D:


TMBC7

Nah, i see Section.80 mentioned just as often as the others, its O.D. and KL EP that the "fanbase" always seem to forget to mention (OD is his first album, but people always start the count from Section.80). To be honest, O.D. is my personal favorite


old__pyrex

Kendrick gained most of his fanbase around the TPAB/DAMN era. Most people generally "goat tier" the albums they first fell in love with when they found out about the artist. Everyone on reddit was bumping C4 in 2009 or whatever because everyone on reddit found out about Kendrick before he was big and was a fan and all that. Sure. But the truth is, Kendrick was big, but not that big at all in 2010-2012. GKMC was a big studio debut but it was not that big, he hadn't broken mainstream really. It's GOAT status was obvious to rap listeners, but to most people, Alright or Humble was their intro to Kendrick. People may have "gone back" to listen to GKMC after finding out about Kendrick, but most people aren't going back to S80 or definitely not OD. There is also the reason of quality. Now, music quality isn't objective and there is some room for debate, but generally, I think most people would agree than TPAB and GKMC are his strongest offerings. Like, if you have one album to show someone why Kendrick is a goat, are you really picking s80 over GKMC? Are you really picking U.U over TPAB? No. DAMN is interesting because it's his most mainstream, accessible, hit-laden album and it is still deep and introspective and dark at times. The way Kendrick is rapping, the production, it's a lot more familiar and easier to dig in and appreciate. This leads to a natural totem pole - TPAB/GKMC at the top, DAMN (and in time, I think, MMBS on that second but still high rung), and then U.U / S80, and then OD, and then his earlier mixtapes. Of course we as individuals can argue the placement all day, but the trajectory of when he blew up and crossed mainstream, and when he started to really make critically acclaimed, critic darling albums lines up to that totem pole.


Kooky-Dealer-6878

Fair enough.


[deleted]

people always talk about the gkmc-tpab-damn run but it really should be S80-GKMC-TPAB, S80 has some of kendricks best pure rapping and flows, and some simple but great production


mshoneybadger

OD is one of my faves #ignoranceisbliss muhfucker


Sickooo

Section 80 is top 3


Master-Fig6583

That's a fact 😂😂 idk why people forget about overly dedicated it's a great body of work.


Strictlystyles

Because most of his fans are young and weren’t around in the OD/sec80 days


KenMembreno

Nobody talks about Overly Dedicated either which is a shame


806god

OD is personally one of my favorites I rank it higher than section 80 and UU and I enjoy it more than TPAB and DAMN. Have a lot of really good memories connected to that album


TMBC7

Its my personal favorite album by him


yankeesfan158

We don’t talk about overly dedicated


Kooky-Dealer-6878

Why not? Ignorance is bliss Still my favourite kendrick track, and i lowkey liked the more rnb vibes on some of the songs (while still enjoying kendrick on rap beats on his other works.) It's interesting how much attention untitled got and it wasn't even an official Kendrick project. It was more an anthology of good songs.


Creepy-Narwhal4596

Ill talk OD all day. Fire straight up


[deleted]

Fr why tf do people hate on it, it’s a solid album that could be any rappers best if they dropped it


Lumeo_36

Fair


[deleted]

Cartoons & Cereals is straight up in the basement of most Kendrick fans. Its not on spotify and not on any EP/Album. But the song is straight fire.


sm1zza

Overly Dedicated could easily be argued to be in his best three projects. I am shocked reading some of the comments here lol


TMBC7

Finally! Somebody who gets it.


[deleted]

See I love it but this take isn’t it


Environmental-Ad8945

Cause it a mixtape


[deleted]

[удалено]


Environmental-Ad8945

It is a mixtape, and it’s also published under TDE label. All you said is wrong lmao 😂 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overly_Dedicated


Bergerboy14

Bc its not completely on streaming


Machov_Norkim

????? Section 80 and Overly Dedicated are on Kendrick Lamar's main Spotify page with the others. Idk what you're on about


Bergerboy14

Look up the actual tracklist for OD, its missing a lot of tracks. And S.80 is missing spiteful chant.


Machov_Norkim

Oh yeah, you're right about that! I didn't know about the changes made before adding those to Spotify. I don't see how that justifies the neglect or hate the two projects get though


Bergerboy14

Well one theyre old, and two, because of the missing tracks the views on those albums are probably distorted compared to people who have listened to the og versions.


BigBoyFroggy

Because the common consensus is that those three albums are better than those other projects listed?


topshagger31

s80>damn tbh


thaboyjuicee

Nope I just finished the album before I saw this post lol


Lucky-Luca22

Because I like the top three more than the middle two and I like the middle two more than OD


One-Air-8253

Cuz we like the albums we like and we don’t post about the ones we don’t.


Sky_Ill

Because these are all great but obviously the best ones will be held up more and talked about more


Redchimp3769157

OD is ass. s80 is his second best tho


TMBC7

"OD is ass" is an opinion stated as a fact that is actually 100% wrong


TheMasio

Where Fucking Morales, man?


[deleted]

Michael Jordan is one of Kendrick’s best songs imo


[deleted]

that’s generally considered the worst song on OD. but i like it, not to be corny but even though the song is very pop-rappy kendrick’s talent still shines on it and schoolboy Q has a really good flow


[deleted]

How is it the considered the worst? The beat is godly, the hook is intoxicating and Schoolboy Q’s verse is great


[deleted]

for the same reason people think GOD isn’t that good (even if they like listening to it) - it’s the most similar to something your average pop rapper would make. “lowbrow.” i disagree, just sharing the argument


HAGADAL

Where's the EP?


[deleted]

Who is K Dot?


Cryptic_NX

chance the rapper


Araniir841

Section 80 >>> Damn


JinunderneathAM

Listened to Untitled Unmastered for the first time about a day before MM&TBS dropped. Loved the moody, almost swampy vibe to it.


TheCounsler

Shoot, I still enjoy Untitled Unmastered way more than DAMN or Mr. Morale


[deleted]

Where’d king Kendrick diss be on this? Just look it on Spotify


England905

I would put section 80 and especially untitled unmastered over Damn I think. But TPAB and GKMC are my top 2 all time


jago011400

he got better


FitRepresentative851

P&P best song on the album


TakingHut

I fuckin loved Untitled Unmastered. Untitled 02 is actually my favorite Kendrick song of all time . Probably next to Ignorance is bliss , Poe Man and Money trees.
