I'm gonna buy it later today, how good is it?

Put simply, it's worth your money... especially if you've been a fan of his previous releases, I think it's better than O.D, but I'd have to give it some serious rotation to state that it was better than his self-titled EP. That said, he has some of his best tracks on this release, from Hiii Power and Reagan Era to Keisha's Song and ADHD, there's a real variety of production on the release and it shows that if he was backed beats wise, he could switch it up even more.... he's experimenting with other well-known artists flows on the album but still retains his own flow from his previous releases (which I'm thankful for). I'm on my fourth listen, it's well worth the cop, just listen without expectation and see where it takes you...

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:

Probably why it didn't make the final cut...

Here's some of my favourites:

Not every track is top notch, but there are around 9 tracks that I feel are really good, which makes this a strong release given that it's an EP.

I agree especially when it comes to kendrick. Some of his songs are so good that I don't understand how he could come out with some of the unlistenable shit on section 80. This dude is really hit or miss to me...

Better but not by much.. ADHD is kind wack to me imo the other two are better. It doesnt help that he has one of the worst rapping voices in hiphop that Ive heard in many years. Makes it hard to listen to his shit.

There are enough emcee's out there that can release good music consistently though... Eligh's Grey Crow last year was Godly (and is a good example).

Release probably isn't for you then as Reagan Era and Hol' Up along with Hiiii Power are the three other outstanding tracks *to me*...

You liked any of his previous releases?

Tracks like Rigomortus, Blow My High and Chapter Six... I'm not really feeling, I can co-incide with some being hit or miss... but as an EP, do we really expect a full album full of great tracks? This isn't his debut after all....

As for me, I think this is 3.75/5 for an EP. A good 8 tracks that I really, really like, much more than OD.

these's shits is dope ass fuck, but he released it at the wrong time..........this EP is for the Autumn it got that autumn feel to it. I feelin the vibes on the track that's more of my style the emotions of the beats to set you in a zone and the lyrics is going to take you places, you have to play this with your head phones on or in your car stereo on a real late night summer night to appreciate this shit.... it's a cop for sure.

ADHD is going to be my autumn anthem when the hoodies, tims, and skullies come out, word up.... is it me or is Kendrick tappin into that mid 90's feel.... sounds like something that can be on OC Jewels album

Glad you're feeling it... I don't care for the time of year, I'd rather have it now than have to wait lol.

I've only listened to it with my headphones, as I do with all my music... otherwise I don't feel it. Audiophile's FTW.

ADHD is ridiculously nice!

'And don't call me lyrical, 'cos really I'm just a nigga that's evil and spiritual
I know some rappers using big words to make their similes curve
My simplest shit be more pivotal.'

The way that he flows that on 'Poe Man's Dream' is beyond dope.

Lol. I'm on my 7th listen. I've literally not stopped playing it since I copped it. His flow is 'fuckin' ridiculous'. And his beat choices are so nice and still fit his flows, it's potentially going to end up as his best EP. I never thought I'd ever say that about anything he released following the self-titled EP. But dude just puts out nothin' but greatness.... I'm an even bigger fan than I already was. At the price, it's a great deal.

Finally listened and I can safely say it didn't disappoint, good beats, great rapping, just generally a great release

Yeah, can't knock it at all, I'm playing it through again, a great release... not sure if I'd rank it above his self titled EP... but I'm getting closer to saying that it is!!

This is the only album that I'm playing, period.

Check out Kendrick Lamar discussing a variety of issues in this great video, lol @ dude in the front row at the end knowing every line!!

[video=youtube;FfENjVQ2gEk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfENjVQ2gEk&feature=player_embedded[/video]

Kendrick's the most exciting artist in my books and has been to me since I discovered him following his self-titled EP.

^^^ same this has been getting heavy heavy play from me dude is so dope

It's officially my favourite from him now, I've played it more than his self-titled EP. Never thought I'd say that, great emcee doing his own thing, it's good to see and great for rap music.
