The Official Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City Discussion Thread

[usmarin3]

Congrats to Kendrick, but what's so funny, J Cole sold more without Jay-z all over his album or videos. lol Just kidding though, good for dude though, he deserved it.

At no point did i never say it wasn't a great album. I said it was easily the best debut out of all the new niggas (J Cole, Drake, etc). It's a solid 4.25/5 mic album.

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Some of the merging wasn't needed.

 

[ohhhla]

If niggas can tolerate RZA's, Freeway, ODB, AZ,etc voice then they can tolerate Kendricks.

AZ got a great voice. The fuck you talking about nigga?

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

Damn you merged my thread too? Shit, it wasn't necessary

 

[Stew]

I didnt mean to merge the prediction thread. I apologize for that

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

I honestly don' see a problem in Kendrick's voice. There's a lot worse out there like banks.

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

I listened to it a little bit but I really don't get what the appeal is. Can someone explain it to me?

you shouln't have to be convinced to like some shit bruh ...if you aint feeling it ..it may just not be your cup of tea

I'm not looking to be convinced, I'm simply curious to know why people are feeling him. It shouldn't be a tough question since so many people here seem to be fans.

whats the desire?

Kendrick plays with his voice a lot and it changes his delivery, its similar to what Eminem, Busta & Luda do. Using your voice as an instrumnent aint new. I think it will eventually wear on niggas if he does it a lot though.

 

[mohamed]

just listened to his whole album and wasnt impressed at first but after instantly replaying (as i type this) it already sounds different(hard to explain). i can see why people like him. hes like nas hes very poetic. you cant listen to him once and from an opinion you have to really listen to him carefully which to be honest most fans are too lazy to do. anyway this joint is growing on me.

 

[Stew]

Yea no way you can grasp this album on a couple listens

That nigga RZA and AZ manage to put W's in every word they speak. lol

So I'm assuming when i start seeing eminem on his shit that he's lost full creative control.

I wouldn't say that..he wants to work with Em

I'll take it a step further, you can't tell me Backseat Freestyle don't have Em's DNA in it (flow-wise). Particularly the third verse.

 

[greenwood1921]

Only classics I considered classic after first listen...

Chronic

Me Against the World

Aquemini

400 Degreez

College Dropout

And I been coppin' albums since the early 90s with cutting-grass money. lol.

My actual personal list of classics is probably 3 times the size of that list. IJS

 

[yeah i rap so don't]

Kendrick has joints with Eminem, none are just released to the public.

 

[vageneral08]

I've been banging this joint since last week....to me it's a classic of its own.....storytelling isnt what it used to be but kendrick can bring it back tho

 

[mdot]

Kendrick switching up his flow and voice is dope to me. He sounds like he's running for his life on maad city.

I have no complaints with the album really. Glad I started checking for him one of the only newer artists I can listen to.

Curious to see what I'm missing.

I just think his flow and delivery is ill and his concepts are dope too. Far as an emcee goes, Kendrick only has two flaws. May be the greatest when it is all over.

 

[Lebong James]

album is definitely a grower
