There isn't a track on the album I give below a 6 out of 10, making it Kendrick's most consistent album for me. (Though I still like "GKMC" better overall.)

Stronger set of songs than on good kid, m.A.A.d. city. My strong familiarity with this album makes it one of the easier albums for me to rank.

Re: Rank the Tracks: Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly (2015)
And this time is for real (and sorry for the previous mistake). Now with the votes for "To Pimp a Butterfly" bootsy is the seventh person to get into the 100 Club, having ranked every album on Rank the Tracks (part one). Welcome to the club, bootsy!
Re: Rank the Tracks: Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly (2015)
No need to apologize for the mistake. That's a lot of albums to cover. I'm just glad I finally did it (until the next one).
