Congrats on quitting! Did it myself in '97. Its hard to kick.There are times I'm like your sister. I swing back and forth. But when something grabs you, its worth getting the whole album and putting some intention into your listening. Especially if the artist/producer has put the effort into the album. I'm glad to see some artists going back to creating albums as a whole.
Tyler is in my backlog. I need to get around to checking them out. I agree about Kendricks music. I am an old rock head so I would usually just listen to hip hop on spotify or youtube because I always saw it as stripped down. Not layered like older rock. I put on TPAB one day at work with my dac and headphones. I kept stopping going "wait what?"
Yet another reason not to shop at crappy tire.
