KENDRICK LAMAR: "GOOD KID M.A.A.D CITY"

Theres no other way to listen to this than all the way through 1-12.... everytime i put it on i start at the beginning no matter where i left off
The more i listen, the less i notice the weak parts i originally had.

I never talk about albums like this, this quickly, but this might be an instant classic... such a played out word, more played out than the phrase played out but i dont care... this **** is so complete its not even funny. 
THIS
P e r f e c t i o n ...for me at least *shrugs*
 
Just purchased it off iTunes. Probably gonna get a hard copy later in the week. I'll wait til the morning for my first listen so I can hear it all the way through.

Source? Is it in the album insert?
it doesn't appear on the album insert, so i don't think it is

This is what west coast rap needed for the past 12 years or so, maybe longer than that...

Someone who has no false intentions, no false bravado, no ********...just an artist speaking from the heart with some of the best songwriting skills, and ear for production around.

This is what Game wish he could have done...but i dont wanna start rapper vs rapper with this. its just true...

Currently have 1-11 on my Itunes marked as 5 stars...think i gotta give Compton a 4...hate to do it cause the production is GREAT and i like the verses, but it isnt up to par with the rest. still a really good song regardless

Section 80 is no way better than GKMC. It's impossible because Section 80 is more of a prequel if you will and no prequel is ever better than the book. Getting tired of peeps saying that Section 80 is better. Section 80 is a great body of work, but it's not better. Dude just released the best solo debut Hip-Hop album of the 21st century and people talkin about "Section 80 better cuh". People saying that haven't listened carefully.

Whoa now, too early to call that. Agreed it's better than Section.80, but I really dont think it'll measure up as the best hip hop debut of the past 12 years if we all take the time to break the possibilities down, though it is possible.

It may be early for people who just copped tonight on iTunes, but I and many others have been listening since Wed. and I can say it with confidence after going through from beginning to end 10+ times. And every time it finishes from "Compton" to "Recipe" I just SMH because the airplane landing to me represents that he made it and he's landed safely, where as before when "Recipe" was released just as a single it didn't strike me that way. GKMC and Life is Good album sequencing is as close as you can get to perfection.
 
Yeah, I've had the album since last week too. Less than a week isn't enough time to anoint anything 'best of _' as much as you'd like to. 'Debut of the year?' Maybe. 'Concept AotY?' Maybe. 'Debut of the past 12 years?' Give it time to sink in and stand up to time. There's only a few albums I think are in the argument, and this looks like it'll join them, but for now it's just the hot new **** out. People are becoming prisoners of the moment.

debut of the last 12 years?

mmmm... F&L would have something to say about that... College Dropout would DEFINITELY have something to say about that...

I think people just forget...its not so much getting caught in the moment, its forgetfulness....but maybe those go together in some cases

Ill probably take this over F&L in the end, but not quite yet...

No way it will ever top CD though, come on now...
 
I dunno why people got such a problem with Lupe... I guess it all started with Lasers... but its not like he wanted to make that **** anyway

Yeah, he says some crazy **** politically and other off the wall comments, but F&L2 is pretty damn good in my opinion

But this aint the place to talk about Lupe...

Im still trying to figure out how someone said this album is already the best debut of the 21st century without a doubt LOL....CD anyone?
 
In a perfect world this album would do Wayne numbers 1st week...........................................
Who cares about that...well i guess you do...

But are you saying that just because you think numbers/popularity dictate how good it is to YOU later on?

OR

(unlikely) but, if it did do wayne numbers, it could be a game changer, where people focus more on content/quality/complete pieces ?

People need to calm down....I'm sure he means that dude deserves the money for putting out a quality album.

And lupe took a screen shot of him downloading the album....you can calm down with the "he has no plays on his itunes"...yeah the album is still downloading. Relax. His later tweets actually talk about songs he liked on the album

So is the physical copy going to be in stores today (Monday) or do i still have to wait until tomorrow (Tuesday). Either way i have been trying not to listen to anything so i can get the full album experience. Only heard swimming pools so far haven't listened to peer pressure. Can't wait to pick up my copy

Two targets don't have it. Guess I'm gonna go buy two regular versions from best buy and then wait to get a deluxe from target later this week.
