Kendrick Lamar: Good Kid M.A.A.D City

The highly anticipated Kendrick Lamar album, Good Kid M.A.A.D. City was released yesterday. After a full day of listening it didn't take long to release this is a  great album.  Giving a great look at what appears to be a look into his life growing up on the streets of Compton. Teamed with the great production of Dr. Dre and the rhymes and flow we have grown to love from Kendrick makes for a great album. Some look at new albums and if there are not alot of features they pass it up I ask this question to them, Do you buy a album to hear the same people that are on everyone eleses project or do you buy it to listen to the person album that is the main artist ? I'm glad that its mostly Kendrick and not Everyone else. With that said I'm sure this will be on repeat in the Ipod for a while. There has been a few lack luster Cd's released this year. There has only been 2 or 3 really good projects released this year that you can listen to the whole cd from start to finish and then want to go back and listen to the project again and not skip any songs. But this was really a breath of fresh air and a different experience. Kendrick channels his inner West Coast with out sounding like your typical West Coast artists. This is a must have CD that i'm sure most people are going to sleep on but should have in the collection. If you don't get it you will missing out.
