Good Kid Maad City Lyrics
If there is such thing as a perfect album this would be it. Kendrick Lamar's debut album couldn't have been any better, the subject matter of If there is such thing as a perfect album this would be it. Kendrick Lamar's debut album couldn't have been any better, the subject matter of living in a deprived neighborhood, riddled with drugs and gang violence is told greatly by Kendrick. The album as a whole is very cohesive and flows smoothly all the way through, listening to one track simply makes me want to listen to more. Kendrick's writing ability is quiet impressive, with some very introspective songs and also some songs about the harsh reality of living in the ghetto. Kendrick brings you into his life with this album and does an excellent job by doing so he puts the listener in his shoes.
Good Kid m.A.A.d City is one of the greatest hip-hop albums within the last 10 years. The lyrics and production of this album is so engrossing that you feel you're right there with Kendrick while he's telling his story.
The production is flawless with great melodies and mixing. Overall this project is the definition of a master piece a future classic, the illmatic of the new era some would say, Kendrick again delivers another great project and has raised the bar for himself and all his hip hop peers around him. Absolutely an instant classic. Every song has incredible production.
Kendrick's lyrics are some of the best ever heard on a hip hop album, and Absolutely an instant classic. Every song has incredible production. Kendrick's lyrics are some of the best ever heard on a hip hop album, and it is amazing how his album follows a story line, often resulting in songs that have unique beat changes or skits in them. Overall this really is a 10/10 album, an instant classic, and the official crowning of a new king of hip hop. King Kendrick Lamar.
All hail the new king of Hip-hop! At last, a true saviour of Hip-hop has finally arrive. Of course, I'm not saying that hip hop is dead before All hail the new king of Hip-hop! At last, a true saviour of Hip-hop has finally arrive.
Of course, I'm not saying that hip hop is dead before Kendrick Lamar burst into the scene. There was 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but Kanye's last album was like an arthouse project with a huge-ass budget instead of a true blue hip hop album. Not since Illmatic, had an album produce so much hype over being an instant hip hop classic. However, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City is not an instant hip hop classic.
It is THE INSTANT. CLASSIC. The whole album plays out like an autobiography of Kendrick's life as a kid growing in the mad city known as Compton. From meeting with a girl in a club to meeting with rival gangs to a death of a peer, it plays out like a Scorsese film, grittiness and all.
Now, here comes the point where I will wax lyrical about Kendrick the new King and saviour of hip hop. There's his wordplay, the flows every time he's on the mic, the storytelling, it all sums up perfectly in this album the reason why people rank him on par with Tupac, Eminem, Rakim and Nas. In fact, screw that.
Non-hip hop listeners would probably fall for this album too with its top notch production quality. Overall, this is hands down the best album of 2012 bar none. All hail King Kendrick!
Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City is the first hip-hop album where I really have the feeling as if I am watching a movie. GK, MC is structured so well, Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City is the first hip-hop album where I really have the feeling as if I am watching a movie. GK, MC is structured so well, it feels really cinematic especially with the voice clips at the end of every song that tie the songs together. My biggest problem with GK, MC are some of the hooks. The flow is just so bad on some of them & it really would've been better if they didn't get a hook.
Otherwise, amazing album or should I say audio-movie. Favourite track: Money Trees.
