Good Kid, m.A.A.d City Review

GKMC is an album that is considered one of the greatest hip-hop/rap albums of all time. And I can strongly agree with that. I would also call TPAB the same thing. But it already has the title of “Best album ever”. Which is true, it is the greatest album ever made. But I’m here to talk about TPAB. I’m here for GKMC and why I think it’s a perfect album.

1. Sharaine a.k.a Master Splinter’s Daughter

This is an amazing song to start off the Album. But most importantly, this starts the whole story this whole album tells from start to finish. It starts off a tape playing with boys praying to god. Then Kendrick sings about taking his momma’s van and going to the girl I can’t spell out’s place to have sex. But he really likes her so it’s different. He stops singing and a voicemail of Kendrick’s mother starts playing. She tells Kendrick to come back home, that she needs to go to an appointment later while Kendrick’s father is talking about dominoes pizza. He then tells his wife that she’s killing her vibe. Then it goes into… 10/10.

2. Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe

This is a banger for the aux in the car. It’s really catchy while being unique and fun with Kendrick singing about his place in the music industry and how the industry is changing and how he doesn’t like that. But it’s still an iconic piece of art in Kendrick’s Discography. At the end of the song, Kendrick’s Hood friends come by and tell him to hope in and ready up his freestyles. 10/10.

3. Backseat Freestyle

I don’t know how. But this song is so natural and feels like Kendrick is actually free-styling while also sounding like he wrote it as well. Kendrick is a lyrical genius! I know most of the words to this song. I love it! 10/10.

4. The Art Of Peer Pressure

I feel like with every album Kendrick releases, there’s always a song that tells a story through the lyrics and makes it so damn fucking amazing. Also, the intro is the best intro to a song I have heard in a long time. Following after the previous song, Kendrick is peer pressured into breaking into and robbing the house they pull up to. After that, Kendrick gets back in his mother’s van and goes back towards Sherane’s house. 11/10.

5. Money Trees (feat. Jay Rock)

I found this song from TikTok and I wish I hadn’t. Because this is much more than some song someone lip-synced to on TikTok of all things. This a great ass song with the Jay Rock feature being one of the best things for this song. Without him, it would’ve been different. I love this song, I love this album. It’s just so incredible! At the end of the song, Kendrick’s mom sends another voice message saying that she just wants to get out of the house at that point because Kendrick’s father is acting very weird. Singing about K-Dot’s mother’s fat ass. He then remembers the domino’s from before. 10/10.

6. Poetic Justice (feat. Drake)

This… yeah… even after the beef, I still think this song is as amazing as I still think of it as. And Drake isn’t terrible yet at the time. Kendrick decides to go back to Sherane’s, but he is stopped by two dudes in black hoodies who jump him. 10/10.

7. Good Kid

This song is very underrated. It’s a great song. I love it. It’s about Kendrick’s thoughts after being jumped and how he’s a good kid in this mad city. 9.5/10.

8. m.A.A.d City

Now this! Is a top 5 Kendrick Lamar song right here! I’m married to this song and I’ll be living with it in my heart till I die and get buried 6 feet under. The intro. The lyrics. The beats! The beat switch! The last moment of the song!!! This is perfect! Everything about this is perfect! At the end of the song, Kendrick and his friends all drink alcohol together after what happened. 11/10.

9. Swimming Pools (Drank) (Extended Version)

This and the normal version are basically the same, except for the audio recording at the end. But it doesn’t matter, these two are so good as they should. And I love them. Also, another iconic Kendrick song. After they have a few drinks, a car drives by and starts shooting at them. They shoot back but in the end. One of their friends, Dave, is dead. 10/10.

10. Sing About Me, I’m Dying Of Thirst

This. Is. A. perfect song. It goes for over 12 minutes. Yet, not a single second goes to waste or made worse by anything else. It’s actually two songs in one. But they’re both combined into one anyway. In Sing About Me, Kendrick sings about if people Will about him when he dies after experiencing near death and the loss of his friend. And I also think that he sings from one of his friend’s POVs. In I’m Dying Of Thirst, Kendrick sings about how he’s tired of running away. At the end of the song, an old lady comes up to them and say that they are dying of thirst. And that they need holy water to wash away their sins. They pray the same words as the beginning of the album. Connecting everything together to make sense of everything so far. They do that and they are given a new chance to be real. This song can’t be explained with words. It’s perfect. 12/10.

11. Real

This is another underrated song that people should appreciate more. There’s not much else to say except that it’s as great as the rest of this album. Kendrick’s dad sends Kendrick a voice message saying that he’s sorry for the loss of his friend. Then Kendrick’s mother does the same thing except she says that she loves him and hopes for him to come back by tomorrow. She says goodbye. The tape ends and reverses backwards. 9/10.

12. Compton (feat. Dr. Dre)

This is the most underrated song of this entire album. I love this song so much. It’s fun and the auto tuned note thing at the end was just so… Perfect… at the end of the song, Kendrick takes the keys to the van and yells out to his mother that he’ll be back. Ending at the beginning. 11/10.

Edit: I wrote this all on my notes app to get the version I felt that expressed my thoughts about this masterpiece. I changed a few things and changed almost everything about my review of Poetic Justice. I can’t wait to talk about my favourite album ever next. Also, I would’ve added the deluxe songs, but decided to just stick to the main material.

Overall: this album is perfect. I love everything about it and I just wanna listen to the whole thing from the beginning again. I’m going to give this album… a 11/10.

Morioh would’ve been way more bizarre if they had Kendrick Lamar

Insp + background vv😭😭

Literally only this photo of Kendrick prompted me to make like a screencap of him if he was in the crazy noisy bizarre town op... Sorry if its mid its pretty rushed. Also i love Kendrick

the background was so fun to do omg😭😭 took me ages and i had to make the paint splatter brushes myself (i love procreate) (if you can tell they were low quality. No you cant.) Its a rip of the background in Okuyasu’s screencap but… shhh

Is it frowned upon to have insanely long captions plus a lot of tags… if so mb i dont use tumblr like at all and i love to yap

[palaceoftheprophets]

Taking psychic damage every time I see a tumblr post full of people trying to justify why they don’t like rap.

I had to relisten to good kid, m.A.A.d city twice in a row to recenter myself.
