Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city

Rap album of the year, fuck what you heard.

All hail K dot.

I've been bumping Swimming Pools for the last week or so. Time to check the rest of the songs out.

Listening to the tracks individually I was hard pressed to find a theme of the album (leaked a few days ago and everyone called it a concept album) but the first twelve tracks (non-deluxe) are a great piece of storytelling, the beats and the features go perfect with the concept. Really great project.

I have had it since it leaked and It's a great album, Kendrick is the best lyricalist at the moment. I love Recipe, Swimming Pools, Backseat freestyle and Poetic justice

Swimming Pools is godly.

I only like the Art of Peer Pressure of all these songs posted.

Love it so far.

Will download tomorrow.

He's makes some good tunes. Don't half talk shite though.

Best lyricalist makes me laugh. I heard one of his songs the other day and he said he's being compared to 2pac and I actually lol'd.

I woke up this morning with my dick on hard
Didn't know why 'til I said fuck all y'all
Or fuck this world, or I'mma fuck that girl

Poetic genius

This is already out there on the GOAT's albums, I mean if you look at the albums by the greatest a lot of them had a lot of shit then like 1-2 good songs. This has quite a lot and it feels like it's the only hip hop album that I can listen to throughout without wanting to change songs (not inc 'Greatest Hits')

Section 80. Is a good album by K.dot but this is a lot better

Comparisons to 2pac are based of style to me mostly, but he's one of the best lyricists out there, his previous projects prove that and this album just enforces that. That track (Westside... feat. Jeezy iirc isn't really supposed to be a lyrical track, it's more of a flaunt, when he's storytelling it's incredible).

"Come come now, Pac told me to fuck the world... I'm about to cum now"

Sing About Me is one of the realest songs I've ever heard

Read that this is/will be as big as college dropout.

changing the game, Dena what do you think?

He's coming to new zealand but the tickets are out of my price range.

He says the the whole world sees him as Pac reincarnated. Alright then mate.

I don't think it's a game changer, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, the last "game changer" album in rap to me was Kanye's Graduation, because it caused a shit from gangster rap from being the popular sub-genre to a more open style of rap.

This type of album has been made before, it's like "a day in the life" type album, not a lot of risks per se but everything that Kendrick did, from beats, to features, to storytelling, to mood, etc. is executed REALLY well.

What are you talking about, it's a lyric he uses in Ab-Soul's song

Pipe down

Good stuff.

Just before I saw this thread I was watching his interview with Nardquar.

I've quickly skimmed through it. Not too impressed so far.

I'll give it a listen. WIll be holding it up to the same standards as F&L 2.

Am I missing something, or is this shit one of most over-hyped albums of the year?

There's like two good tracks on this shit.

I'd probably suggest listening to it full from #1-#12 (well maybe you can skip Real, worst track on the album ) with an open ear, first time around you can't really skim through it imo because it loses context.

I dunno, depends on what you're looking for, I knew with KDot I was expecting great story telling and great lyricism, I was surprised he had a few bangers on this like Compton and Backseat Freestyle, and even a love joint in Poetic Justice, but they all flow well with the story imo.

This. I can't get into it at all.
