The album/mini-album was kind of pushed aside by the slew of other high profile releases that came out around the same time and since, but I think folks will look back on it fondly. I feel like Kendrick is either going to have a long, genre-defining career, or he's going to have a really short genre-defining career. But either way, I think untitled is a valuable part of his discography already. You mentioned that you'd sort of lost interest in it, as had I, but I hope you give it another spin before list-making time comes.

Oh don't get me wrong, I still really like untitled unmastered. Kendrick's verse on Untitled 05 is one of my favorites of the year, and I fucking love Untitled 06 with Cee-Lo.
