4 MICS. Very solid mainstream debut. Slightly better than "Section .80" but I'd give both 4 MICS. I enjoyed Kendrick's creativity. I only felt there were about 3 or 4 songs I wasn't feeling. I liked the laid back vibe. I liked the skits cause it make me feel like it was an album. I also liked the fact the album doesn't sound formula driven. Sadly Drake, Sean and J cole were victims to formulas. I think J cole's LP didn't have as many formulas as Sean or Drake's but they were still there. Kendrick though LP doesn't sound like he's trying to appeal to a certain rap fan per se as much as he's just giving you himself. At times it feels like he's channeling 3 Stacks, the album feels like a unreleased Outkast LP at times. I think the production is solid. I like the way they flipped and payed homage to my girl Janet Jackson on that "Poetic Justice" song. Hopefully people are going back and listening to "Anytime, Anyplace" one of the sexiest songs in history (Got plenty to that track in high school) But I could of done without another "Crying about Women" verse from Drake. His voice does take some time to get use to but overall Again the songs have that chill out vibe and I like that. The Production and sequencing was very good by Dre and company.
As for the great reviews it's getting, I don't see nothing wrong with that. But I can't help but feel like Lupe 6 years ago, Kendrick album praise is more a reflection of the state of the rap. Rap just isn't good right now that it's a lot easier for Kendrick to shine through. When I heard, "? , Ready To Die, or ILLmatic or even It's dark and hot as hell". There was something about those debut that you just knew something Legendary just happen. I didn't get that from this but what I got was a very talented guy giving us "HIM" and as a rap fan that's all I could ask for. I talked to a friend and he was telling me that Kendrick is being forced on the public by the interscope machine. I told him that was going to happen cause of the Dre association but it's not like they really promoted the LP that well to me. It's not like the 1st single is all over the radio like that. If anything I think this album is being pushed more from Kendrick's underground love he got from "Section .80".
Again I could see some people not buying the hype but the fact is Kendrick is a bright light in the game right now. So it's the best debut rap album since "Food and Liquor" and he's clearly ahead of the class of this generation class to me. Drake has the most success but his albums aren't the best, "Take Care" was a step in the right direction. Cole is very talented but he's kinda low key and doesn't want to take the forfront. Big Sean is OK but I don't feel he can really carry songs. Kendrick proved he can carry an album so I was impressed. Classic? again like Kendrick said and I agree, it takes 5 to 10 years. Let me know if I'm listening to "Good Kid, Maad City" by 2020 and then I'll tell you it's a Classic. But I did enjoy the album. I'm about 7 years older than Kendrick, I'm an 80's baby, he's more of a 90's baby but I could relate to the themes he put forward.

? is too intense in school right now for me to even leave campus. I like buying albums and ripping the packaging off, reading through the credits and artwork, playing it in my car. The whole experience. I would rather wait and do it the right way.
Tomorrow is the day my brethren. -
Quick question which sounds better the high version of money trees or the low version?
-

Some I notice are pushing articles that this is the "ILLmatic, Ready to Die" of this generation. A little extreme but I do see some things in common with "Ready To Die" more so than "ILLmatic" as far as Kendrick changing voices like Biggie did and having skits and it being a storytelling type of album.
