Green Label has compiled a list of “10 Things We Want To See From Kendrick Lamar’s Sophomore LP.”
The Compton, California rapper released his debut major label album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, in 2012.
Dr. Dre production was #10 on the Green Label list. “Although the two have formed a brotherly bond with the good doctor’s cosign boosting Kendrick’s success, Dre has yet to be featured as a producer on any of his albums,” the story says. “If their recent Beats By Dre commercial is any indication, the potential to create magic is high with Detox still nowhere in sight.”
The list also includes “A Cross Genre Rock Mashup,” which comes in at #3.
“Widely seen to be the highlight of this year’s Grammys, Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons stole the show with their performance of his song ‘m.A.A.d city’ and their ‘Radioactive’ remix,” the list says. “Although rock and hip-hop have crossed paths since Run DMC and Aerosmith’s ‘Walk This Way’ with Linkin Park and Jay Z going on to carry the same torch, Kendrick’s explosive energy transcending Hip Hop could be what finally earns him the respect and validation of the Recording Academy.”

DEFINITELY A RELATED HEADER.
that man dead dead dead get ova it
One problem. Nobody wants another album from this boring clown.
Only in your delusional world. In the real world, people want another album from him.
^^^no they dont i agree wit the first comment
Yes, they do. And you’re an idiot for agreeing with a troll.
he dropped the only classic of our generation so yes they do…
we all want an album from the best rapper alive.
the people who compiled this list seem to want another album
I think his next album will do the same numbers. Go check out thegrandreport(dot)com, they have good videos on there too!
it will be another classic
he gave me faith in hip hop again
I want another GKMC level album tbh, I think he can do it, dude is a beast
it’s already my most anticipated album since good kid maad city
please GKMC2 !!!!!
I want wait for this, gkmc is one of my favorite albums of all time and I hope he can release another masterpiece
kendrick bringing back the hip hop that I love
this will save 2014
King Lamar
1 – Dr. Dre beats
2 – DJ Quick beats
3 – Warren G beats
4 – Daz Dillinger beats
5 – DJ BattleCat beats
6 – DJ Khalil beats
7 – RZA beats
8 – J Cole beats
9 – Kanye beats
10 – some TDE producer
Or Just Blaze, DJ Premier, Pete Rock etc etc
This album is gonna blow GKMC away, and easily too
Here are some things I want to see from this guy.
1. Stop pronouncing words like a child (i.e dat,bish, etc)
2. Stop having so much spit in your mouth
3. Stop the forced, pseudo intellectual
lyrics
4.Stop making “concept albums” with no cohesive narrative
5.Stop dressing like a corny little hipster
6. Stop trying to put your lame crew on
7. Stop comparing yourself to the greats
8. Stop rapping fast to hide your simplistic lyrics
9. Stop spelling mad incorrectly to look cool
10. Stop rapping.
I’m not impressed
Stop your bitch ass trolling. Everybody loves Kendrick.. his album’s been out nearly two years and it’s still the best thing in hip hop right now.
Somebody has illogical hate in their heart.
LOL. This comment made my day
not impressed is moral orel on crack
Read the list and it is pretty terrible. Do a record with Mustard, sing on a song completely and not rap, another Drake collab, a rock mashup.
A Black Hippy collab, wow, that’s reaching. Those are always good. The site says they are the four original members of TDE and that’s grossly inaccurate.
Terrible article, thanks for sharing
This scrub should make a silent album. That way we won’t have to listen to any more of his pop garbage.
Wrong artist. Apply that to any Young Money artist.
hate the way this nicca give emphasis to the last syllable in words
You’re joking, right?
lol what the hell
a song with ja rule
@Not Impressed:
1) Stop sucking dick
2) Stop sucking dick
3)) Stop sucking dick
4) Stop sucking dick
I hope he’s went through puberty since GKMC and his voice has changed. That scratchy half ass raspy half ass squeaky shit was fuckin annoying. It’s a shame that of all the dope rappers from CPT that this dude gets the most shine.
Obvious troll.
Green Label is the store brand version of Complex. Except their lists are even more irrelevant.
gkmc is contender for best album of the 2010s, hopefully this one is as good as gkmc
Album of the year, just like gkmc in ’12
I want a sequel to good kid
it has to be as amazing as gkmc
GKMC is a FUCKING Amazing album. When I listen to it, it was more than music, it was a story of a person just like me with dreams, fear, dangers, trouble, happiness, adolescence and maturity. He stayed true to his roots he kept it original but different. God bless Kendrick Lamar and hip hop.
haven’t heard an artist THAT good in a minute… I will actually purchase this rather than download it. If hip hop artist pumped out more stuff like this, labels could move units like it was ’98.
ain’t that the truth
just like his first 2 albums, it will be one of the best Album everjavascript:void(null)! Point Blank!!
listening to him really makes the other rappers sound amateurs
This album will go down as one of the best albums of all time for any genre just like Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Ready to Die and the other rap albums that are considered the best of all time. When those albums came out we didn’t understand how great they because were very young at the time. Now we have a chance to witness a classic and a legend in the making. The storytelling is amazing. It’s like a movie. You can’t just listen to a couple of songs or skip through. You have to listen straight through from beginning to end.
Don’t put Illmatic in the same sentence as reasonable doubt and GKMC. Those two albums my friend are classics but Illmatic is a masterpiece
This kid is ahead of its time. His last album was “Perfection” from start to finish.
The best hip-hop debut since Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor.
2 classics under his belt already
Kendrick Lamar: Single handedly bringing the REAL Hip-Hop back!
Pac died at 25. Kendrick starts to carry the throne at 25 should be some good years to come
I haven’t left a comment on what use to be m favortie site in ages. However, his last album has reignited hip hop. Real talk i describe this album as perfect. At first, I was a little lost by the “skits” because they have been missing in hip hop. I was thrown off by the fact that all the songs were woven together. It was like revisiting illmatic but with a new age flow, more creativity, better beats, hell everything we have now. I mean, the lyrics, concepts, story telling, metaphors are all just amazing. Add in the fact that we got to see this kid grow from k.dot to kendrick lamar. He set the bar. Please follow.
Looks like Aftermath got another classic “2001” , “The Marshall Mathers LP”, “Get Rich or Die Tryin”, “good kid, m.A.A.d city”
hip hop was never dead it just lost its way.
Kendrick is what hip hop needs
Dr. Dre’s Rappers Always Go Classic…..Eminem, 50 Cent,The Game, And Now Kendrick Lamar. He is so lyrical…. He Is Already Killing The Rap Game With This Album…….God Damn He Is Going To Murder It With More Of His UP Coming Albums They are All Going To Rate XXl….
This Is The Best Album I Bought This Year!!!!!!!!!!
Kendrick Lamar, best rapper out so far (counting the veterans; like jay, Nas, quik), call me regionally biase if you want to, westcoast radio stations need to stop being held hostage and support their artist, i like other regions but fu@k them they’re not westcoast.
Just got my vinyl copy of GKMC in the mail. Instant classic.
There is no such thing as an instant classic. It must stand the test of time to be considered a classic. Give it 10 years
When I first heard Kendrick I was like “Who is that?” Then I bought GKMC and said “Well God damn! this guy is a breath of fresh air.” Then I decided to look up some of his earlier music. I fell in LOVE. Kdot…you are the SHIT!!!!!!!!!
The best out of the new generation
Drake will eat this boy alive and that’s the truth
Drake is not good enough to challenge a rapper like Kendrick and I’m not even a fan
Drake sucks, kendrick is a goat
don’t compare drake to a true & talented mcee like kendrick
this nigga said drake LMAO
Kendrick is one of the future goats, drake is average at best
Drake doesn’t even have any classic albums. GKMC will stand the test of time. NWTS has very low replay value. Take Care was decent but I wouldn’t consider that a hip-hop album. Thank Me Later was ok, but most of the sounds, the flow, and delivery was only dope in 2010. Looking back on it lines like “shut it down, onyx” is really wack and even Drake has admitted to that.
your Rap is being good to me.
this guy will be remembered.
I want another classic from him, he has it in him to shake this hip hop community again
best rapper I have heard since Nas in 94
I’m hard to convince but this kid blew my mind, one of the very few amazing lyricists of our generation
He already dropped my generation’s illmatic, now I want him to release my generation’s all eyez on me
haven’t heard an artist THAT good in a minute… I will actually purchase this rather than download it. If hip hop artist pumped out more stuff like this, labels could move units like it was ’98..
heard his album this morning… RESPECT, a fucking masterpiece !
I’m impressed by this kid’s talent… hopefully his next album will be on some GKMC level
I’m glad hes getting the recognition he deserves, I’m glad to see him on every “best albums of all time” lists… he deserved it
