Wow, heavy praise from Prince!
NR: I know we've talked about the labyrinthine complexity of TPAB before, likening it to. "Ulysses of hip-hop albums" and whatnot, so I get where you're coming from.
But at the same time, I've never actually been in a position where I couldn't listen to songs from the album and experience extreme joy and satisfaction. Tackling the whole thing can be a bit of a chore, but honestly ... That album is the definition of "fire."
Not since MBDTF has such an elevated hip-hop statement been made. Every song is a gem, and the overall effect of the album is hard to dispute. I hope eventually you come to a point where you can get some genuine joy out of listening to it, because I think it's worth it.
