[DROPPED!] Kendrick Lamar Section 80 - Album of the Year, Thus Far?

[ty the great]

Kendrick's voice/flow gets annoying after while. too mush mouthed. He got skills and may be a great MC for many otehrs to enjoy, but he just has one of those factors that I won't be able to get past even if he drops 10 Illmatics lol.

Lol. 10 Illmatic's and still no love?! Damn!

His new official video: Tammy's Song: Her Evils. Looks like the concept is correct, there are two 'evils', two 'pains' and two 'vices'.

Quite like the track, but the over use of the word n!gga, is a bit annoying...

I agree with this... his voice and flow is hard to listen too he lyrically dope and has ill concepts but his voice makes it tough to listen too.

IMO this is perfect example of his voice issue.

LOL! That is funny, I like the production on this track, but I prefer him over a more laid back beat speaking the truth... and although he's speaking the truth, it's just about some women and their poor choices... be interesting to see what he brings tomorrow, can't wait though!!! Agreed!

You not find his flow fits on any songs that you've heard from him? I am someone who usually has a problem with flows, but Kendrick's to me, is dope. I have listened to him for hours at a time in the past, :unno

IMO this is perfect example of his voice issue.

I like it :unno but I don't think this is one of his best tracks...

Nuthin' wrong with his vocal tone to me

What's he doing in 2011? I always liked his first single and that track that urm... well, I don't remember the name of it, but it was good, the one after he beat up Ri Ri.

Yeah, I feel like the beat is nice as well and I was unsure on it at first, just hope he doesn't change his concept and keeps it conceptual, rather than going to the regular 'bitch track'. Which I would be deeply disgusted with considering he found himself in 09... to find the industry in 2011, would be a bad look, unless it's 09 Lamar shining for himself.

Section 80 coming at Midnight!!! Which is 5am here (no I'm not getting up for it!) But I'll cop it at 8am!

 

[RuffDraft]

Dropped, £5.99 for UK heads.

*EDIT* Sounds great so far, production is much more full and LIVE! For those who don't want him quiet and his flow is fucking dope man, don't understand people's criticisms lol. He has some Bone Thugz flow style on track 3, ADHD.

 

[satyrone]

nice i gotta wait till tomorrow..i aint bootleggin that shit. so im just gonna countdown. i gotta long way togo

What is it like 5 hours? Dope that you're waiting and copping too though, it's definitely worth a cop off the first 6 listens too, my money has been well spent...

I just wish it was in CD format too. Also, saw you in that Reason thread earlier and I edited my post to include your username as well as thanks to Essence posters, appreciate it.

This album is incredible so far, don't know why, the production seems much more fuller though and in your face almost in comparison to previous releases... huge fan so far... Sex with Society hasn't made the release though, but here it is:

Kendrick Lamar, Strong Arm Steady, Mitchy Slick and Self Scientific is the only one's im really checking out of Southen Cali right now that's not the usaul suspect ala Tha Dogg Pound, Soul Assasains, West Coast Wu Killa Bee's, Likwit crew ect.... And i will support Kendrick Lamar.

Ruff Draft tell me your thoughts on Kendrick's Lamar is it a Universal album or a L.A. album that's Universal....because i feel a Cali artist shouldnt have to go out and break their neck to please everybody that's why I perfer Game's Dr. Advocate over The Documentary. How's the Sequencing and production, I know the lyrics are dope so i aint go ask but is he showing range on different topic's

Where's Eligh and Blu from? As well as Fashawn (Fresno)? I don't really understand the areas of Cali...

It's a universal album, IMO. But far from disappointing or selling out... the production is heavy and varied... sounds very different to his earlier two releases under his Government name. But at the same time he slows it down on tracks like Keisha's Song with Ashtro Bot.... which would sounds more at home on some of his earlier releases. The first half of the album sounds like it'll be the better half... but yeah, it's not got beats on it that are westcoast heavy, but then I never felt his self-titled EP did as such...

He switches up his flow at times, sounding like Kanye on MBDTF (No Make up, sounds like Blame Game flow, flowing between him and the female emcee) at times and then on another track he sounds like he's a member of Bone Thugz (ADHD). I'd say he could have made this release a 12 track EP and it would have been much more revered, but the latter tracks affect the release to a degree as I don't feel they're on the same level of quality as the earlier tracks.

EVERYTHING about the album is quality though and I feel the album flows well and the production never really falls off with the exception of Rigamortus, which sounds unfinished and tinny... boring and just shit to put it bluntly LOL but others may think it's a creative beat, I'm just not feeling it.

Overall, seems like this is going to be a grower over the coming months and it's already a solid 3.5/4/5 to me in terms of EP's... easily worth a cop!!! Great release!!!

Lol i forgot to add Blu & Murs, but Eligh is a Bay Area transplant he's originally from L.A. he moved to the bay after his highschool years (In L.A. he used to rhyme with Murs) he hooked up with Mystik Journeymen and Grouch in Oakland and with Murs and Scarub who with Eligh ws known as3 Melancholy Gypsys from L.A. they form LIVING LEGENDS.

Fashwan is from Fresno that's the Central Valley, Fresno have a dope ass Underground scene, Planet Asia is from there also. I be out there sometimes vistiing my Family and the hip-hop scene is on point, dope underground station out there..

Murs needs to come back with that real, I've seen his new hair cut, so hopefully that'll make him swifter in the booth lol.

Props on this, area doesn't mean as much to me considering I'm not even in the States lol. But it's good to know, I like the Mystik Journeyman and The Grouch as well, I always feel the westcoast HAS the best underground scene, particularly the Bay.

Planet Asia is dope too, that's some cool shit that they have underground stations out there, do you know what they're called and whether they have internet radio stations that I could listen to?

Have you listened to Section 80 yet?

The Station is a college station and they play lots of jazz and blues but at night and on the weekends they got a ill hip-hop show the station is 90.7 KSFR.

I'm from the UK and not very forgiving to the hip hop here, I don't really feel it although there are some cool beats and hip hop influenced tracks... our best artist is probably Wiley or Dizzee Rascal. But then others would point you in other directions, but I'm not really feeling it... hip hop scene is non-existent where I live, which is why I discuss it online and try to remain a part of the culture and go to shows in the bigger cities...

Sounds good, I'll try and find that station online if it is there...

You can't go wrong with the cop, well worth it, IMO.
