You are right - but what I was trying to express is that the tracks are much less overtly linked - sonically and thematically. For example "I" on the back end of TPAB clearly shows the "journey" made from "U". The poem that weaves itself through TPAB is another defining factor, whereas GKMC had the story. TPAB seems to be an album that tells a story, albeit in vignettes as opposed to being completely linear like GKMC, of Kendrick adjusting to a life of fame and at the same time dealing with socio-political societal issues through his point of view which is very shaped by his past. There is a bit of that here of course, but it seems a bit less connected as an overall package if that makes any sense.
