Don't beat yourself up. He definitely hadn't come into his own with this first EP. I would say he wasn't even fully evolved until AT LEAST GKMC, and he still continued to get better from there. Also, unfortunately, the pre-GKMC just hasn't held up over time as rap has moved in a more artistic direction. It is what it is.I feel Momma is very underrated, or at least not as talked about as it should bc it gets a little overlooked compared to the classics on TPAB. It sucks I'm voting against so much early Kendrick too, mans just kept getting better though
Most movie soundtracks are phoned in. Tends to be a lot of cliche stuff from a lyrical perspective. Production is usually good. But not a lot of actual substance. Black Panther is pretty much no different.
