Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (studio album) by Kendrick Lamar

A musically impressive album with fantastic storytelling that runs through the whole release. This makes for a cohesive listen as all the songs tie together nicely both in style and lyrics. Kendrick Lamar is also experimental with his sound on this release which results in some exciting moments that utilises violins, guitars and pianos. There is also some very strong beats on here which are infectious and work well with Kendrick Lamar's delivery. This results in a solid experience across the whole run time with no real weak moments. Overall, one of the best modern hip hop albums that has a lot of fantastic songs scattered across the track listing.

Un álbum interesante y bien logrado en su concepto, Kendrick Lamar se desnuda con letras autobiográficas, la atmósfera que se crea en cada canción te hace sentir como si te adentraras en los suburbios de Los Ángeles, California. Bien merecido tiene su lugar en lo más alto del Hip-Hop.

My favorite album by Kendrick Lamar. So many good songs that just click well with me. I love Backseat Freestyle, Money Trees, and Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst.

Heavy, smothering hip-hop that violates the senses in a good way.

What an album! Only bangers. The storytelling is 10/10, and songs like Money Trees, SAMIDT, Maad City, Swimming Pools, even Drakes feature on Poetic Justice. Not TPAB level, but still top 10 ever in my book.
Favs:
SAMIDT, Money Trees, Swimming Pools
Least favs
Backseat Freestyle

The story telling on display on this album is absolutely incredible and shows the start of Kendrick's dominance within the hip-hop genre.

I like this album for its vocal performance in like every way. The flow, rhythms of vocals and lyrics are all sick. Kendrick was hungry on this project and he really went for it. The album far as rap albums go is in the A tier list (the highest). Its a huge project with huge songs. I wish this album had more artistic creativity among its beats but its an arbitrary opinion. I would rank it higher if so. But its an album everybody loves for a reason. Between this, Illmatic, and Marshall Mathers LP, it's like the 3 best rap albums for flow. I listen to Illmatic, then GKMC, then MMLP in that order for the most listens, but in terms of quality of music, its tough

Great stuff!

Y aquí está, el ya legendario, good kid, m.A.A.d city de Kendrick Lamar, uno de los mejores raperos de la historia. Si se retira ya nos habrá dejado 2 obras maestras, este disco y To Pimp A Butterfly. Es sensacional cómo se plantea un disco conceptual y cómo cada una de sus canciones se sienten auténticas. Tiene unas cuantas obras maestras como Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe, Backseat Freestyle, Money Trees, m.A.A.d city, y la indiscutible masterpiece Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst, unos 12 minutos épicos en los que Kendrick demuestra por qué es un crack. Este disco es un landmark en la historia del rap y en la historia de la música.
