This is the rap album of the year. Kendrick Lamar good kid, m.A.A.d city. Go get it. Now. I never was the biggest Kendrick Lamar fan, but I gotta give him his props. The Compton kid made a classic album. From the raps to the hooks to the beats to the skits to the stories to the artwork, he did it. I compare the first time I listened to this album in full to the first time I saw Boyz n the Hood. Same feeling. I’m gonna post the lead single off the album, “The Recipe,” because the beat is so dope, and Dr. Dre has a great feature rapping on it. But you have to check out the whole album. It’s a must listen.

Peep where they got the sample from, too. Great flip.

Please don’t sleep. Go cop this album ASAP.

*BONUS*

Here’s some other fly Cali shit. Polyester the Saint “500 Benz.” Pretty ill.
