Kendrick Lamar
Good Kid: M.A.A.D City
With some great guests (drake, dr dre & mc eiht), a high-profile imprint (dre's aftermath) & delicious production (pharrell, just blaze…) this has been hailed as “the biggest debut since ‘illmatic’.
kendrick navigates his mad city (compton) with a backpack of experience & wisdom, both beyond his years (25) & this journey through the concrete jungle is worth taking because of the artistic richness, plus the attraction of a whip-smart rapper flying high during his rookie season. any hesitation about the horror of it all is quickly wiped away by kendrick's mix of true talk, open heart, open mind & extended hand. add it all up & subtract the hype & this one is still potent enough to rise to the top of the pile.
