I was wondering when my next favorite album would not be of
the R&B realm, and I guess someone was listening. Not only was I blessed to
hear one album, but I heard two albums that are changing the game of hip-hop
for the better, and arguably two of the best albums released this year. Without
further a due, my favorite right now; Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d City…
I told y’all! I told y’all! Last year people looked at me
crazy after my review of Section .80
by Lamar until they actually listened to it! Welp, he has done it again! It’s a
fresh new view from the ever so musically relevant west coast. good kid, m.A.A.d city (which is an
acronym for “my angel on angel dust”) is a mini movie with one of thee best
soundtracks of all time. Imagine telling stories from your childhood and making
a song to each memorable event!? Lamar pulls this off flawlessly, with his
hilarious parents, and him taking the van out one day and having a hell of a
day. I won’t ruin the film, but bring your popcorn, probably the best film without
an actual film released this year!
I cannot put Lamar into a category. His delivery may not
attract all (my girlfriend in this case) but if you listen to his wordplay and
style, you cannot help but notice his special ability. He has to be one of the
best storytellers of his class. I feel like a witness to every song on the
album. It is not necessary to view Section
.80 before good kid, m.A.A.d City,
but it will only add to the experience. Sophomore slump? Not here, with a
classic in my eyes by Kendrick Lamar, UnBLeeVable ★ ★ ★ ★ ★. Must hear film! Spread the word of Hip-Hop next big thing.
Favorite Tracks
The title says it all, you cant help but vibe to this one,
unless you the b*tch who kills vibes -_-
This is taken directly from my childhood, Lamar beautifully
demonstrates how being with the homies affects your thinking patterns, somebody
next science fair project trill talk.
"It go Halle Berry or hallelujah", the anthem of the album ya
bish
I thought I told y’all the day the album title track weak,
that artist just needs to stop… Straight fire on this track, Dylan, Dylan…
The most lyrical, powerful, creative, beautifully done track
I have heard this year.
Have to Mentions *****
Not my favorite track on the album, but the production is genius;
Drake returns the favor, track ready for radio play
