    7. Personally. I don’t think the title is an accident. Similar to Russ Simmons Global Grind website.. sensationalism is at an at time high, only getting higher. They need you’re clicks people. Let me just ‘click’ the play button though..

    10. Naw HipHopDX got the title right. Drake carry every artist song that he feature on. Shit he probably wrote songs for your favorite rapper or singer LOL.

      2. idk i enjoyed the album alot, im not a huge Kendrick listener but this and Section 80 i enjoyed, i disagree on the structure part, i think it was put together just fine, the beats and hooks are on point, the skits were whatever, i never care about those on any album. very good debut album though, 5/5 for me.

    23. In the morning – j. Cole is better. I still think j. Cole is better than kendrick overall. Mix tapes and debut albums. Rigamortis should have been on kendricks 1st album.

      I like this track. But I don’t see myself listening to it a lot in the future.

      I think j. Cole is sick and kendrick lamar. But if you we’re to pick kendricks best 5 tracks and Coles best 5 tracks. Cole would win.

      I’ll give this track 2/5 I would give it a 3/5 but I’m pissed off that I have work in the morning

      2. As I’m driving back from college station, tx. from getting tatted, I’m listening to the warm up and I came to the same conclusion. K. Dot nice tho!! ‘I’ think cole is a better MC and he do the beats. Just my opinion

    25. this song comes after a skit where his mother calls him and leaves a voicemail with his drunk father saying he wants to have vaginal intercourse with her in the background. he prefaced this song by insinuating his parents were going to have sex. what a normal guy

    37. Sounds like a mixtape track….wow am I dissapointed from what I heard. I understand a lot of people liked section 80 but it doesnt have the great production that classics have. It is laidback and production works but its not headbanger after headbanger. Again, dont call me a hater, just go and listen to a classic and compare the production on the cuts weve heard off the album as well as section 80. Do not sit here and tell me Kendrick wouldnt have a classic over dre beats circa 2000…Him on Xplosive????? OH MY GODDD

      1. The year 2000 was over a decade ago. Music is constantly changing. Stop expecting new artist to cater to old taste. KL was probably in elementary when Dre was popping.

      2. I don’t know if “sounds like a mixtape track” can be considered a diss anymore – mixtapes are no longer merely a stepping stone to an album, but are rather, now, merely another mode of delivering music, and are often equal to or better than albums – there are mixtapes out now that are “classics”.

        Opinion is opinion on whether you like it or not, but saying that it can’t be a classic because it doesn’t have “headbangers” is very narrow minded. You’re saying that only this specific type of music can qualify as “classic”. Just because you can’t nod your head to the music doesn’t mean it isn’t good – that is merely one type of music, and Kendrick is interested in making a different kind. OutKast’s “ATLiens” is undoubtedly a classic album, and there are only about three tracks on that album that you can be called “headbangers” – most of them are the more atmospheric type beats, like Kendrick’s, and two of the tracks don’t even have “beats” (a drum or bass track).

        Also: Kendrick’s “Backseat Freestyle” is one of the best headbangers to come out this year – I can’t listen to that song in public without accidentally slapping people in the face with my dreadlocks.

      1. Thanks for your amazing insight. It’s a wonder Kendrick and Drake didn’t have you in the studio to help them record this. You should be a famous producer with ideas like these. Do you’ve anymore brilliant ideas you’re keeping from these artist?

    47. Drake murdered Kendrick and should of been on the hook as well. Did you hear it, the album? Anywhere near that front to back classic, greatest of all time you hyped it up to be? It’s just not going to happen on a major in today’s climate. Ab-Soul is better. That’s why he ain’t on the album Q probably would’ve out rapped him too if given the right song.

      Reply

      2. Clearly I have and have been for awhile. He hasn’t even realised that he best fits J.Cole production and vice versa. Hiiipower is still the best song I’ve heard from him and Cole’s best beat.

    53. Overreaction Wednesday. Give it some time to soak in. This and the album overall are pretty decent. Only flaw I find is that Backseat Freestyle should be a bonus cut and Black Boy Fly included in the official 12 track LP

      Reply

    54. On a song discussing women, you guys are debating on who killed who? They both had good verses, but its a song for hoes. That’s drakes bread and butter, and he seemed comfortable. The discussion on who came harder is irrelevant on a song of this nature.

      Reply

    55. All I can say is go listen to the album when it comes out.. Individually you won’t like 2 or 3 songs on it that’s only if you hate on it extremely.. Otherwise it’s a masterpiece, it’s a story, from beginning to end every track is linked it certainly is a movie! After last years the Roots ‘Undun’ this is the best storytelling album out! N one of the best albums of all time! Mark my words! It is the best debut since a long time!

    66. Kendrick Lamar stans are worse than J Cole stans. Kendrick Lamar needs to smooth out his delivery a bit. Sometimes he’ll try to rap complex just for the sake of it and he ends up going off topic. I respect the dude, but yall stans overhype the hell out of him. You did the same thing with J. Cole and you continue to do it with every up and coming rapper. Fuck Hipsters. Nas and the Roots all day. Yall can suck it

    84. Ok this da deal I think a lot of people who have heard the album would agree it’s very laid back and toned down. Don’t expect spiteful chant, swimming pools, or the recipe on every track. That’s as commercial as it gets. Kind of hard to say if this or section 80 is better. I will say sing about me, I’m dying of thirst is my favorite song (12 mins). Alot of story telling all over this album, but got to love k.dot he’s original and separates himself from the rest.

    86. perfectly good song, and people are hating. kendrick’s about to get the same treatment every artist gets when they release an actual album, on this site. HHDX community rules: love an artist who releases mixtapes, but once when they release an album, hate on them.

The whole TDE in their own way will get in the game. It will all be on different planes but they will all carve a niche. TDE, Jay Electronica, J.Cole, K.R.I.T,Action Bronson, Skyzoo, Rapsody and copping classic albums from the past are all I am checking for right now!

    108. No disrespect but black folks don’t know SHIT called LOGIC. Listen, if NO ONE (including you) wanna FESS UP and TELL then how the fuck are the police supposed to know anything and how the fuck are you or anybody else gonna cry about justice?

      Niggas talk all that snitch stuff when it’s another statistic but when it’s their family member or their man they wanna cry justice. Look, niggas in LA KNOW Orlando killed 2pac but no one wanna fess up cuz they’ll get labelled a snitch. Instead they rather go at Funk Flex or Suge Knight and use them as scape goats and act tough with them on the Internet or via records.

      How is the police gonna lock any of these criminals up if nobody is fessin up? And then when the feds DO lock niggas up y’all cry “the police is lockin’ brothas/rappers up”. I feel sorry for african americans, y’all have the most fucked up mentality out in the world, but yet still think it’s worse overseas LMAO. I live in both places btw and yes i’m black.

You don’t really need the Deluxe just the standard 12 track and just let it vibe through, good shit.

    116. Time to end this G.O.A.T. foolishness.

      In this constant debate about Jay-Z being the best ever I read things like “Nas will destroy Jay-Z” or “Eminem got a better flow than Jay”

      Those are OPINIONS.

      When will you fools learn that you can’t win a debate with OPINIONS. Every rapper has a different style based on where they are from, the time period in which they were most successful, and their unique personality. We all can go on for days about our personal preferences but in a debate criteria like this is completely IRRELEVANT and automatically BIASED.

      The only way to win a debate is with cold hard FACTS. And the fact of the matter is that, when you weigh all of the tangible criteria (Sales, Critical Acclaim, Consistency, Longevity, and Impact) Jay-Z makes the strongest case for the G.O.A.T.

      Eminem has sold nearly twice as much as Jay-Z, and he is Jay’s equal when it comes to longevity and impact. But Em lacks the consistency or critical acclaim that Jay-Z has (Im not talkin cult/fanboy classics, Im talkin CERTIFIED classics. XXL/Rolling Stone/Source approved) Eminem is VERY close though.

      Nas has enjoyed more critical acclaim and more overall respect in the hip-hop community through the years. And he’s definitely equal to Jay with longevity and impact. But he hasn’t been no where near as much of a consistent presence in hip-hop as Jay has. And he is obviously lacking in the sales department.

      Lil Wayne just may be the most consistent rapper of all time. He’s no slouch when it comes to longevity and impact either. His glaring flaw? In his 12 year career Lil Wayne has yet to drop a truly critically acclaimed classic album (and it can be done in this climate. just look at kanye’s discography). Also, contrary to popular beleif, Wayne lacks in the sales department. Sure, Tha Carter III and IV are blockbuster albums, but his OVERALL sales of 10 mil US pale in comparison to Jay-Z’s 31 mil.

      2pac is a touchy subject. When it comes to impact, pac takes the cake. No other rapper touched the world like 2pac did. He, like Em, has also sold more than Jay and he was very consistent in his time. Sadly, 2pac passed before his time which allowed Jay-Z to surpass him in longevity and critical acclaim.

      LL Cool J was the prototype for what a G.O.A.T. could be. He has enjoyed the most longevity, and he was fairly consistent, but his sales, acclaim and overall impact are no where near the likes of 2pac, Eminem, and ofcourse Jay-Z.

      Biggie, Rakim, Common, Snoop, the list goes on. All of these MC’s are great but none of them have the total G.O.A.T. package like Jay-Z does.

      Jay-Z is the 3rd highest selling rapper of all time, and the richest. He’s one of the most acclaimed (perhaps only rivaled by his boy Kanye). He dropped multi-platinum albums YEARLY from 96′-03′, and he is still going strong today. He’s been in the game since 88′. He’s impacted hip-hop in countless ways from starting one of the 1st successful MC-owned record labels, to being the 1st non-athlete with a signature shoe, to surpassing the likes of Elvis with #1 albums.

      Jay-Z is without question the Greatest MC Of All Time. Period. You don’t have to listen to him everyday (Im currently on my Kendrick wave). You don’t even have to like him. But for goodness sake, RESPECT THE FACTS.

      7. “Critical acclaim” is nothing else but OPINIONS of people who have a wide platform (magazine writers, etc). You can’t dismiss people’s opinions on one hand, but accept them as “facts” on the other. Jay has dropped plenty of weak ass shit in his career. There is no way to “factually” determine the “best” in a subjective field like music.

You hate this cut now but when it is the shit bumping in every car you’ll have nothing to say… or when you’re a bitch is bumping it you’ll suddenly like it. but then again most of y’all don’t have bitches because you’re too busy hating on decent music.

    173. Its not about this being a song about girls or for the mainstream….just make it better. Classics always had songs like that but they are great songs that are catchy. Look at hate it or love it, in da club, touch the sky, Ms. JAckson, etc etc. Its not just about making every song hard and all lyrical; this is just not great. ITs good…especially for todays rap standards; but its not as great as I thought it would be. The album is similar to section 80 in that its lacking that extra something to make it have replay value. I think I’ll play it in my car for like a month or two but I highly doubt i will play it in a few years like you can do with the great albums

    187. this beat is awesome, but damn kendrick lamar sucks! so overrated. boring flow, annoying voice (sounds like Qtip) i just don’t really care for the guy. i heard he got booed off stage in gainesville fl when he was opening for drake. I’m not going to add insult to injury, but damn…guess I’m just not a fan

    188. Kendrick Lamar doesnt bring anything to the table. Boring flow, boring beat selection, mumbled delivery, annoying voice, slightly above average story telling.

      Kendrick Lamar = a poor mans Q-Tip

      2. Black Thought, Lupe, and Nas. Name one thing Kendrick got on these niggas? Nothing. Kendrick is trying to hop in their lane. If you cant do it better then get the fuck out. Kendrick needs to find his own style.

      5. None of those rappers rap alike, foh. Kendricks album is innovative and is bringing real hip-hop back. Back when every album was different and had concepts.

        Reply

      7. So we complain that there is not enough “real” rappers in hip-hop and that there is not enough story telling in hip-hop and then when a guy comes along that represents both of those thing,s he’s not good enough? There will never be another nas or black thought or Q-Tip so get over it already. You critics will never be satisfied with hip-hop music if you keep thinking this way. Stop being critics and start becoming fans again.

      Oh and BTW, Bishop Lamont >>> Kendrick Lamar.

      Idk what the fuck dre was thinking letting that man go

      2. Dre never let him go….He is signed to Top Dawg/Aftermath/Interscope….it is a business deal…Top Dawg has their own producers and are the ones A&R’ing the project…it was never about Dre’s beats just help with promotions and the bridge to Interscope…

      2. yea the album seems lazy and really dull i was expecting a new west vibe lyrics wise kendrick is still sick but he really should have let dr dre give him some true west coast beats. the aftermath sound is absent on this album but i still support kendrick and seriously let if dr dre gave him beats he should use them to attract the die hard aftermath fans…
        but thats just my opinion

        Reply

      3. Y’all cannot be serious? Its a little early to say its better than Section.80 but you have to appreciate the mans versatility. He can do anything and make it sound authentic.

        I’ve never been to Compton, but this album is like a $10, hour-long vacation of what I can imagine it would be like based on hip hops history there. He literally makes you feel the place where he grew up. That is an amazing feat when you have such a diverse range of topics to cover in an hour, but I think he did a fantastic job. Mainstream? You let me know the last time you heard a beat as hard as “M.A.A.D. City” or a flow as hard as backseat freestyle on the radio? Fuck outta here

        Reply

      4. lazy and commercial? is this real life…what album did you listen too? and whats with this issue with Dr. Dre not producing any songs…go listen to The Documentary if you want to hear his beats that bad. Kendrick managed to make the best album this year (so far) w/o Dre’s production, and sorry but f that minority of “hardcore aftermath fans” lol

    206. Whole album is fucking fire. You can’t make everyone happy. Kendricks grown a lot since Section.80 and you literally feel it on this album. He’s not the good conscious kid ppl think he is, everyone has a dark side and some skeletons in their closet. Look at the range of topics, flows, cadences and lyrics he has between 2 albums and name a rapper aside from Pun to have such versatility on his debut and followup. Dudes amazing and he doesn’t fit into a box. This album gets 2nd for me this year behind the Heist, sorry but Macklemore absolutely killed it.

      As far as this song, I haven’t liked Drake since he signed w/ YM but these dudes sound good together. The beat isn’t all that crazy but sometimes less is more, especially w such dense lyrics. Do y’all even know what Poetic justice means?

If you can create a better record then where is your music at?

    231. This is honestly one of the best albums I heard from a hip hop artist in a minute. Kendrick is really a one in a generation rapper. You guys saying he flopped and only heard the snippets have no say. I don’t know a true hip hop head who would not say this album isn’t more then excellent. Great concept to it with the movie film vibe. Great beats and incredible verses. Drake, Jay Rock, MC Eiht, Anna Wise & Dr. Dre were perfect for the songs they assisted on. If you can really name me a complete album that was released this year that trumps this I’ll personally find you a Psychiatrist who deals with musical insanity. 9.4/10 but might go to a 10 as I listen to it more. GREAT-ALBUM! #Kendrick4President

    247. It’s difficult to critique this song in the way you guys are.. this song wasn’t aimed to show how Kendrick feels or Drake feels.. the whole album is from a storied perspective; he’s speaking for many, through their eyes. It’s obvious when you listen to the standard tracks his entire album is aimed to inspire.

    255. I suggest you guys wait for the album to come out before you judge this song. I downloaded the leak and listened to the album at least 10 times. It made me cry once i finally understood the piece of art that is good kid, m.A.A.d. city. Its not just a collection of songs put out by another rapper. This is the first of its kind. Kendrick Lamar has created musical novel about the story of a kid with good intentions surrounded by bad ones.

    256. Gkmc is a disappointment. Every song coulda been amazing. His voice fucked it all up. Except on “now or never” flawless delivery and no high pitched raspy voice. Same with “the recipe” also “art of peer pressure” why the fuck didnt he drop a couple verses like jay rock on “money trees” ?! ….. If this album woulda dropped instead of section80 back in 2011 i woulda never been a fan of kendrick. Real talk. I hope dr dre is more involved with Kendricks next album. And im not saying that for production. Im saying it because dr dre will guide an artist. Not just hand him a beat and exit. And whynthe fuck didnt he include blackhippy in this? A Q and soul record? perfect opportunity to introduce them to the world!! Control system is fuken amazing.

      1. listen to it again, but pay attention to the lyrics. its a great story behind it all and its a really good album…but i agree i was disappointed too. section 80 was alot better

Hip-hop fans are so busy looking for a savior that they will crown anybody. Just because he is better than the sorry excuse for rappers flooding the airwaves nowadays doesn’t make him the G.O.A.T.
