"good kid, m.A.A.d. city" - Kendrick Lamar (Oct. 22nd, 2012)

[dR3]

The Art of Peer Pressure is the song of the year.

Word up!

[King Lance]

the intro of the song > The art of peer pressure > life

[Kill You]

Eh, The Art of Peer Pressure is nice to listen to sometimes but I can't listen to it constantly like I can with Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe, Dying Of Thirst (I separate it from Sing For Me), Black Boy Fly...all those songs never get old. I think the beginning really fucks it up for me, I don't like it. Everything else about this song is classic Kendrick Lamar though.

That being said it's not even Top 5 on my list from this album. :/

1. I'm Dying Of Thirst
2. Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe
3. M.A.A.D. City
4. Swimming Pools
5. Backseat Freestyle

Tbfh.

Another great thing about this album is that each time I listen to it, I like each song more and more. It's get better upon more listens. Unlike some other albums that get old right away.

[Kill You]

Hopefully gonna pick up my copy today at the store, if it's not there I'll be pissed.

I need to hear this shit baked though, when Kendrick gets his storytelling game on it leaves me on the edge of my seat, can't imagine the anticipation baked.

Dude, do it. I swear this album is incredible when you're baked. It's already an incredible body of work but when you're high you hear like every sound and it's nuts how much detail went into this album. I also agree with Porter, I like this album the more I listen to it.

[123123123]

Yeah, so it's a pretty creative album and a good conceptual body of work. Besides that, dudes voice is annoying and whiny. He's got no mic presence and a typical generic approach. As a fan of rap music I wasn't feeling it on first listen. Will update my thoughts if I come around to listening to it again.

[King Lance]

no I don't tbink so =o


btw, kdot in belgium @ february


interview from aftermathmusic.com

"Kendrick Lamar is riding on Cloud 9. With his “good kid, m.A.A.d city” debut finally in stores, and doing shows all over the place, the 25-year-old has lots to celebrate, and he’s not going to let a negative critique from Shyne, kill his mood.

“It’s really no response [to him],” Lamar tells Hip-Hop Wired. “I’m not a sensitive guy, so that’s his opinion. Can’t stop what the world thinks, so yeah, that’s him.”

With first week sale predictions flying above the 200K range, the Compton native is humbled by the support. “It feels great, lets me know that people still wanna’ hear good music, real music. Music that has a connection, rather than just one artist, or one record on the radio.”

Even though some have already pegged his first album a classic, Lamar feels that it’s too soon to wear such a heavy crown. “The attention and great reception it’s been getting… it’s overwhelming. People are labeling this a classic even without the years behind it, so it’s a great feeling.”

But don’t get it twisted, his intention was to hit a home run. “It’s classic worthy, you know? But it has to stand with the time and have the years behind it. Right now it’s classic worthy and people [will] look back and say, ‘Kendrick’s first album really, really, really outdid everything else and became a classic.’ I went into it with intentions of making it a classic, so I’m glad everybody’s saying that now.”"
