good kid/m.A.A.d. reactions: The 20 Best Reactions To Kendrick Lamar's Debut Album

Features

"on good kid, m.A.A.d city anger gives way to analysis. Nearly a quarter-century after N.W.A's eye-opening "Straight Outta Compton," Lamar isn't re-sounding the alarm — he's looking closer, showing us in deeply considered detail how those conditions affect individuals and families over the long term. "All my life I want money and power," he growls atop a clattering Hit-Boy beat in "Backseat Freestyle"; later, in the spacey "Real," he wonders if those material comforts might limit his ability to relate to others."

    masterpiece

  • shame on u fool!

    Prodigy of Pac.

  • Yaya

    He sounds like Ludacris to me :=/ I guess a major label can still generate major hype. What makes his overproduced album any different than the millions of other ones out there?

    • clapback

      Luda...no. He sounds more like Outkast back when they first came out southernplayalistic style.

      He's good, real good

    I just listened to the album and its good, I think Kendrick is really talented and I'm happy
    for him hopefully he will not sellout in the next few years as other rappers have who have blown up in this *****ed up music industry. However this album is not a cl*****ic. A cl*****is
    is Nas illmatic, Tupac albums cl*****ics, biggie ready to die cl*****ic.

  • yeayeayea

    kendrick is like a combo of outkast, nas, pac, and ice cube.he's niiiiicce.

    If you don't think this album has cl*****ic potential, you don't know music like you think you do.This album is fluid and tells a story like no other out right now. Honestly, the only thing I don't like about the albums is the openings to some of the songs,they throw me off and i get ready to change them quick only to remember that the rest of the song is cold.

    Overated, grows on you after a few listens. Repetitve flows, lack of a vision for the album. But, solid west coast effort. Most def one to follow.
