The Well Versed said:Compton emcee, Kendrick Lamar, had been fighting the good fight on the mixtape scene for a while, but it wasn’t until he got an unofficial endorsement from Dr. Dre on Big Boy’s radio show in L.A., that the rest of the industry began to take notice. From there, Lamar’s career would be built upon more than just critical acclaim, adding work on Dre’s Detox to his resume, as well as nabbing a spot on XXL‘s Freshman ’11 list. Section:80 is the “aftermath” of the events of the last six months.
But Kendrick’s imminent celebrity has not distracted him from his craft, as Section:80 is an incredibly focused, heavy release. Comparable to albums like Outkast’s ATLiens, early releases from 2Pac, and more recently Drake’s Thank Me Later, the tone of the album is super mellowed out, with weighty backdrops for Kendrick’s words. Unapologetically Compton, Kendrick is the antithesis of The Game, less concerned with name-dropping, more concerned with providing an accurate, honest representation of growing up in the hood, something that’s been missing from hip-hop for years.
Fixated on the sociopolitical aspects of life in Compton during the 80′s, Kendrick is a product of his environment, with songs like “A.D.H.D.”, “Ab-Souls Outro”, and “Ronald Reagan Era” exploring the effect the crack era had on his generation. There’s a series of conflicting emotions here; the youthful “I-don’t-give-a-fuck” attitude and the more grounded, conscious aspects of his personality, both which manifest themselves equally throughout the album.
Kendrick has a certain sensitivity to women, with many of his song’s providing Jungian explanations for their behaviors. “No Make Up” (feat. Colin Munroe) may at first appear as a seductive song for the females, but as it progresses, Kendrick zeroes in the reasons behind women’s obsessions with beauty. The same can be said for the somewhat disturbing “Tammy’s Song (Her Evils)”, and the perfectly executed “Keisha’s Song”, a heartfelt look at the mindstate of the average prostitute. Sh*t is deep.
But Lamar doesn’t reserve himself to being a “conscious rapper”, he’s actually more “stream-of-consciousness”, letting his mind bounce from one topic to another. Tracks like “Hol’ Up” and “Rigamortus” find him simply exercising numerous styles from his arsenal, despite any bitches or hoes that mind get in the way of his mind-spray. Other times we catch some clear influence from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony (as discovered by his hometown hero, Eazy E) on songs like “The Spiteful Chant”, with a spotlight verse from Schoolboy Q.
It should also be noted that much of the success of this LP is owed to the production of Soundwave and THC, who handle the majority of the album’s heavy beats. But perhaps the best beat on the whole thing is owed to J. Cole, with his hypnotic sample on the project’s first single, “Hiiipower”.
There’s no explanation or reasoning behind Kendrick’s duality, other than he’s human. As on “Ab-Soul’s Outro”, he puts it best, “So the next time I talk about money, hoes, clothes, god, and history in the same sentence/ just know I meant it, and you felt it / cause you too are searching for answers / I’m not the next pop star / I’m not the next socially aware rapper / I’m a human motherfucking being, over dope ass instrumentation… Kendrick Lamar.” – DJ Pizzo

RuffDraft;2976815 said:As an album or as an EP, it's the best release of this year I think to a lot of people on the Net… I think it's definitely going to be a contender for release of the year…
Him and Cole could be a great duo, but I'd more so like Cole on the boards and Kendrick on the mic with Cole on a few tracks… that's just me…. but Cole's production is definitely going to be a part of the movement that we should see developing…
Kinda makes me wish I had enough money to start a label, I would definitely put together a nice list of artists and create a movement…
Anyone read that interview over at HipHopDX about Rawkus and how they developed a movement? It's the same as Apple's, very personable… I think companies fail to notice these things… if you can connect with a customer, you're off to a flier.
The 3mcee;3061861 said:Oh yeah I listen to Section 80 every damn day since its release. I just wish the guy got more attention for this project. I will admit when I first listened to Kendrick i couldn't get over his lisp but now I barely hear it and he is by far better than Cole lyrically. One of the reasons I love this site is because of how I am always learning about new guys and girls from trolling. LOL. I've been trolling allhiphop.com since the old IC and I just started posting after all these years. But I would've never knew about Kendrick or Big K.R.I.T. if it wasn't for this site. Him and Cole have a great connection and I loved Temptations because they both talked about the same stuff but from different points of view.
