But why is that a bad thing? Since when is it "wrong" to be sad, anyway?

It's not a bad thing or a wrong thing, it's just not really where I'm at right now with hip-hop. I don't need things to be positive, but I like them to be colorful and multi-faceted. More than just hard bars over hard beats.
But I will look back into the album.. I've made the mistake of misreading albums before. It took me seeing Kendrick live for me to really get behind him and hear the unique excellence of his music. So I'll give it a revisit. I promise.
