Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City

started off liking this but being weary of an album that got so much praise. but after 20+ listens it's a 2012 classic.

was surprised by his choice of tracks he did on SNL.

is drank ironic? i always took it as a cautionary tale of alcoholism but the more i listen the more i hear a party anthem.

and my wife likes the janet jackson sample

It won me over pretty much instantly. Talent, people. Talent.

Yeah, it's way ironic. Check the lyrics. But at the same time it IS a party anthem. I think he maintains a masterful balance. Hard to pull that off.

well i'm seeing him for free in a month, guess i better listen to this.

it's kinda like how NIN closer became a stripper anthem, not necessarily opposing forces or irony, just deeper layers of meaning. in this case it's best to stroke your beard whilst dancing.

That beat is just soo fuckn sexy. Perfect changes in aggressiveness throughout.

yeah it's quality.

Not sure really, I don't really follow hip-hop too closely. The Schoolboy Q and ASAP Ferg albums are good (if you like trap). Need to check out the new DJ Quik

better? that all depends on your taste but i can recommand you full heartly Danny brown - XXX and Old

definatly check out XXX it's a free album but destroy's almost all the of the new hiphop shit, it's funny, brutal and honest! listen or die!

I'd suggest Freddy Gibbs "Piñata," mr. Chen
