      1. STOP IT!!!! he aint made a classic yet or has done anything really significant to be called a GOAT…his album is hot but dont b so quick to call him that

    1. I’m sorry but this dude is just not dope to me. I keep listenin’ for sumthin from him to change my mind but I ain’t heard it yet.

      1. funny where he says this beat is good enough for shyne
        the song fell through … like shyne wouldnt like the way hes rapping

    2. i feel the same way about kendrick as i do about tyler perry. i want to like him way more than i do. unfortunately, i don’t though.

      1. who are the haters? the people that dont agree with your opinion? if you want a dictatorship go to a fansite or nazi germany. stop trying to tell people how to think and feel

      2. . just like some people obviously dickride cash money
        with their fucking posts like:

        kendrick is this taht, kendrick is trash, fuck this kid
        and worst of all:

        Kendrick is trash, listen to ross! ross is the real deal.

        those niggas can go fuck themselfs

    3. EVERYONE WILL SHUT UP NOW KENDRIK IS THE REALEST THAT SHIT GO HARD,THAT SONG COULD HAVE BEEN ON MAAD CITY,BEST SONG OF THE YEAR,J COLE PRODUCTION ON TOP LIKE DRE

    4. Decent ! , I like the way hiphopdx didn’t say (shyne diss) to not make a thing out of it.

      And im not calling it a shyne diss,im just saying thats how people be ,when a rapper mentions a rapper they go straight to calling it a diss track!

      1. he wasnt dissin at if anything shyne dissed game

        kendrick’s laughing at shynes opinion

        people jump to conclusions cause they dont listen

    5. Dizzy Wright is way better than kendrik, I like kendrik… Dizzy is just overall better.. has even a better, realer message that reaches everybody. Look him up, he got more twitter followers than kendrik too lol

    6. LMFAO CMON SON THE BEAT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS MADE IN THEIR MAMAS BASEMENT. WE LL TALK ABOUT THE LYRICS ANOTHER TIME BUT THIS SHIT IS AMATEURISH AT ITS BEST.

      1. typical young money fan…all beats NO SUBSTANCE….”i ball like eyelids” lil wayne said that corny shit…but niggaz don’t catch it cause the “beat” is nice

    7. Numbers are in, good kid, m.A.A.d city sells an astounding 242,122 in it’s first week.

      242,122.. I’ll give you a minute to absorb that.

      1. No it don’t mean he got paid. It means the label is getting paid. I follow these guys on twitter and they don’t seem too enthusiastic.

    8. THIS DUDE IS SO OVERRATED ITS RIDICULOUS! BUT WHEN EVERYBODY SUCKS U GOTTA CALL HIM THE HOTTEST BY DEFAULT! #THERAPGAMEISDEAD

      1. U NEW NIGGAZ JUST DONT KNOW WHERE TO LOOK FOR REAL RAP…SHOWBIZ AND AG MUGSHOT MUSIC, VINNIE PAZ, COKA NOSTRA, CURREN$Y, WU BLOCK.. THEY NEVER DID PLAY REAL HIP HOP ON THE RADIO, U GOTTA FIND IT SON

      2. Biged YOU must be a new nigga if u think Vinnie paz is as lyrical as he was 10 years ago…..Wu block??? hahahah Ghostface is a legend but Sheek is wack now, Curren$y aint got lyrics like kendrick, Sean p disappointed this year (album was still good tho not great) Showbiz & ag made classic hip hop but weren’t super lyrical, and la coka nostra is hit or miss…SO WHAT THE FUCK ARE U TALKIN ABOUT?? Kendrick wasn’t really mainstream until like 8 months ago let the boy shine

    9. If 30 gave a perfect five out of 40 and the other ten gave it four the average would be 4.5. These ratings r bogus. I love this new kendrick though

    10. worrying about who is better than who is the problem with the world; just hear the music; listen to the music; if you don’t like it, then move on to the next artist. trips me out that rather than seeing the positive, we knock another man for his vision.

      1. Most of us try to move on to the next artist. We find flocka, 2Chainz and Minaj. Gotta come back here and debate who’s better, though both fire, Cole or Kendrick.

    11. yo i like this beat but it sounds like there trying to copy the style of yucbeats, google his name hes got dope beats

    12. Kendrick killed it…but damn I hope the majority of the Cole x Kendrick project isn’t gonna be cole production…he’s mediocre at best…has his moments but eeeeghhh lol

    13. This one song is definetly a breathe of fresh air. Many people try to compare his album to Meek Mill’s hate to say it but Meek cant even wash my nigga Kendrick’s socks, this song alone better then Meek’s whole album

    14. my favorite albums this year:

      1. Kendrick Lamar – good kid, m.A.A.d city
      2. Ab-Soul – Control System
      3. Big Krit – Live From The Underground

      new school killin shit this year, those are my 3 favorite rappers right now, all classics imo

      1. you got 3 solid picks. check out the albums from Oddissee, El-P, Aesop Rock, Nas too…all similar levels of classic released this year.

    15. not like it wasn’t already over but ITS FUCKING OVER! If your names not kendrick don’t even bother anymore…honestly, just shelve that shit and go home, its done.

    16. i want cole to go off like he did on

      Lookin for trouble – kanye west ft, J.Cole pusha t, cyhi da prince,big sean

      1. Bro, straight up…that’s easily his best verse (Big Sean’s best verse was also on that same track) closely followed by his verse on Wale’s “Beautiful Bliss”. Thank you for bringing that track up.

      2. Bro, straight up…that’s easily his best verse (Big Sean’s best verse was also on that same track) closely followed by his verse on Wale’s “Beautiful Bliss”. Thank you for bringing that up.

    17. kendrick would’ve sold more (maybe 300k), but all you little nerdy backpacker mainstream-hating underground geeks say “album sales dont mean shit” just as an excuse not to BUY the album, yet wayne kanye jayz eminem are all selling good numbers

    18. kendrick is so good, I bought all his albums and I think good kid made city is his best album and better than his control system album. I think slaughterhouse should take out yellow wolf and replace him with kendrick because he deserves to be with the best lyricists. I can only imagine Em and kendrick on the same track. J cole is a dope producer too, he needs to drop another mixtape like the saturday night live one. And IDK who shine is but fuck him. #HighPower

      1. @gluvnast: agree on dat 1..like he asked Cole to write that part just fo fun. true fire anyhow! K dot n Cole, great combo

      1. I agree on some aspects there. The album was incredible no doubt how ever I think the production could have been better, this production isn’t great either but Kendrick went off no doubt.

    19. F****k all the dumb Tom Coonery rappers only talking about European clothes,cars, French Champagne etc ..

      THE JIG IS UP SELL OUTS !

      1. French champagne? Hahaha broke ass nigga. What’s next? German champagne? HAHAHA… Educate yourself you dumb nigga. Champagne is good, no need for ‘French’ in front of it.

      2. OK PEASANT … veuve clicquot,moet… to name just two french champagne producers … i.e largest market share …

        You a FAG for real only PEASANTS get off on hearing how rich another man is .. L.O.L.Z

        Champagne is GOOD … MAJ …f*****g dumb MINSTREL

        L.O.L.Z

      3. LOLZ i think you’re missing the point on what Maj was sayin. Champagne comes from the Champagne region of France, aka Champagne can only come from France. There is no such thing as champagne from any other country. Ignorant ass people here just running their mouth.

      1. Well everyone can’t be wrong…. your just trying to be “different” its cool dont listen to him… But I will be enjoying the fuck out of his music

      2. Thank You. I agree with you on the Dick Riding.. but for real there’s not an Album out right now that can compete with this. I disagree with you on Hip-hop being in shambles.. maybe a little Disarray. But it’s whatever i guess…. Good shit

      3. please….so if GKMC is weak, what is hot to you, gucci? cmon man i cant stand people who hate just coz they think everyone is approving of the album so you have to be different?thats weak minded…

    20. I’m not even done with GKMC and this guy forcing me to listen to new 5star content, i’m getting hyped up for that K.dot Cole shit now

    21. Shyne just got strait murked! doot! doot!! doot!!! doot!!!! doot!!!!! This lil niggu got every MC in HipHop shook like a mutha – no one can test his steez! 5 star track – Hip Hop is alive and kicking, on that rebelious, we super ghetto fly shit!

    22. Picture plenty pussies throwing pelly guns at me
      Paranoia making it more than difficult for me to sleep
      Pinnacle, I know I be, centerfold, I know I got
      But they hate to frame me as the Mona Lisa of Hip-Hop
      So retaliation is a must, when we bend the block
      My niggas dump’n out the roof, (Do-do-do-do-do)
      Drive past, guns blast, shooting up the charts too
      Me, K-D-O-T, put TNT inside my suit
      Walk inside the label, struck a match, and then I blew, bomb
      C4 everywhere, C4 everywhere
      I got three hoes with me, it smells like Dior and derrire
      Decoy Dodge slow, you can detour to Heaven’s stair
      Walking inside Hell’s dungeons, I just might derail something
      They pussies, I smell something
      You douche on the daily niggas, you push on them daisies
      I push on gas on the Mercedes, nigga
      Came in this game with a Rolie chain and a dream
      Became reality, made some casualties, my choppers scream

      1. C4 everywhere, C4 everywhere
        I got three hoes with me, it smells like Dior and derrire
        Decoy Dodge slow, you can detour to Heaven’s stair
        Walking inside Hell’s dungeons, I just might derail something
        They pussies, I smell something
        You douche on the daily niggas, you push on them daisies
        I push on gas on the Mercedes, nigga
        Came in this game with a Rolie chain and a dream
        Became reality, made some casualties, my choppers scream

        genius

      1. kdot aint got nothin on the s dot p dot juice bar weed spot or B dot f dot m dot g dot commer apostrophe dot dot dot com

      1. What the fuck do you mean Nobody has good taste these days, and what does the beat have to do with that,Old school rap beats were way more simple and didnt even sound good half the time.

    23. Don’t hate on someone because they’re more intelligent than you, think about his lyrics and quit bitching. Hes rich and famous for a reason.

    24. damn yall niggas will gas up anything this nigga puts out…

      Beat sounds boring as fuck and he spits some decent rhymes but really nothing special

      1. co sign for the beat part

        but as far as the lyrics, k dot is ill

        matter of fact he’s known for his lyrics skills

      2. It’s all opinions.. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it.. Don’t try to talk shit to people who do like the shit!

      3. Anon, you must not have listened to the song. He says nigga once in the first minute, its not his best lyrical song, but his flow is pretty sick and he has some nice patterns.

    25. Don’t know if they deserve an equal amount of blame or one more than the other(producers) but that’s one lazy ass beat. It had the potential to be something crazy though.

      1. They just put this together this week man… He JUST showed you he can do better, it’s called “good kid, m.A.A.d city”, you should pick it up. Damn, haters take EVERY opportunity to be negative

    26. Kendrick is undeniable. Call me a D-rider i dont give a fuc. Dude can spit BARS, has flow, and lyrics. Beat goes hard too. Fuck shyne hahahahahaa
      oh yea and fuck you if you doubt me. K-dot its your turn, take your victory lap….

      yall too infatuated with the fuckin numbers
      which make it easy for me to divide and conquer – Kendrick

    27. Remember the days when beats were sick, damn near had you snap yo neck , pete rock, dj premier, easy moe bee, havoc, dj hi-tek large professor, RZA, where dem niggas ? what happened niggas , i can make this beat on my casio in like 5 mins come on niggas. Fuck

    28. This track was produced mostly by Canei……Cole may have added a few elements but I can guarantee you Canei Finch made the bulk of this beat…….FIRE!!!!

    29. This track was produced mostly by Canei……Cole may have added a few elements but I can guarantee you Canei Finch made the bulk of this beat…….Kendrick is doing his thing……If people in South Florida are bumping it that tells you something cause most folks down here are sooooo closed minded and will only play Trap music for the most part……unless your in the club….but almost everyone down here will only play DJ Khaled type music or straight Trap shit…..

      1. Jus cause you cant think of an appropriate response doesnt mean I like YMCMB. You wack bruh face it, it dont make you deep or intelligent to support Kendrick.

    30. It’s official, Kendrick is taking over. and by the way he’s bringing the west coast with him. yeah I know the Game has the hot drop this year but this is a whole other level.

    31. I love how this nigga never waits for the beat to drop. Lmao He don’t ride the beat, the beat rides him. Pause

    32. Beats are sort of boring, but the mic skill is incredible, I think the leaders of newschool real rap are Nas, Kendrick, and Jon Connor. There are many that are good too, but they havent dropped bad tracks yet

    33. Kendrick is a geniuous at his craft, I like the whole black hippies but Kendrick is the best. I know he has a lot of bandwagon fans, but I already heard the album 10 times. He’s a good storyteller, and I think he has 2 A’s in the title to represent the Double A battery, probably Duracell, because there’s a lot of energy in his flow and he can go a long time before running out of breath. I’m surprised because since he smokes weed, u would think he would be short of breath. Anyone who smokes needs to be down with the High Power movement, and hopefully the movement can help legalize weed finally.

      1. I dont even know if he is trolling or not…..2 A’s to represent Double A battery, muthafucka what? Hint listen to m.A.A.d city again and then you might catch it!

      2. @Donyay_West exactly right. “And people wonder why i rarely smoke now; imagine if your first blunt had you foaming at the mouth”

    34. Let them know Kendrick,that we the realest still here!….. Ya`ll heard ‘I pray that this beat is good enough for Shine if not J.Cole your shit is thrash` HAhahahaha

    35. i dont care what ANYONE has to say. i dont care how long uv listened to music. how big of a fan u are to HipHop.
      KENDRICK LAMAR n J.COLE are the TRUTH!. if u think different i feel bad for you!.
      im riding with these boys till the day i DIE.

    36. The whole song is dope..but wats dat stuff kendrick sayin in the background while J.Cole speakin..dat better not b sum illuminati message u tryna tell us b..dnt tell me yoll didnt notice

    37. I Pray to God this beat is good enough for Shyne. If not, J. Cole your shit is traaaaash; at least my opinion just made everyone laugh..

      Gettin’ Shyne

    38. Current Favorite Artists:

      1. Crooked I
      2. Jon Connor
      3. Kendrick Lamar
      4. Tech N9ne
      5. J. Cole
      6. Chamillionaire
      7. Lupe Fiasco
      8. Horseshoe GANG (Julius Luciano, Kenny Siegel, Demitrius Capone & Andrew Dice Dinero
      9. Rest of Slaughterhouse (Joe Budden, Royce Da 5’9 & Joell Ortiz
      10. Freddie Gibbs

      Not in any order necessarily, but Crooked gets my top spot for sure. Probably Tech 2nd and Jon Connor 3rd, from my own personal taste. Not sure why I’m posting this list, actually, but I love making lists anyway and I just felt like sharing.

      Enjoy! Or, not.

    39. Kendrick delivered a classic!! my nigha cole gotta come strong for the2nd LP. My favorite two young rappers!!

    40. OOOOMMMMMMM VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH >:(

    41. doin what he does…killin!!!!…and the beat is fire! beat flow? incredible!….overall? gotta give it a 5…my personal opinion.

    42. I starting to get into Kendrick I just hope he doesn’t create some dumb signture drop like the rest dez rappers ie Ross=ugh, kayne west=huh 2chainz=yeeah, and so on and so forth Kendrick just keep picking dope beast and writing hot lyrics the aformentioned catchphrases wont be needed.

      1. why do u even like kendrick if u expect somthing like that

        hes a mainstream rapper he’s going to do mainstream shit

        only underground rappers stay true

      2. Those type of “trademarks” have been done throughout the past 30 years. snoop -“s-n double o p”, eminem always saying “shaaaady”, jay-“hova” etc etc. its just something creative that comes out. jcole-cole world, big sean- ffoe, swerve, o’ god etc etc. frankly i dont think it has anything to do with selling out or is a measure of talent at all, its just the artist letting the listener who exactly is going in. bascially sayin this beat is my bitch.

    43. I think this dude is a decent rapper but his voice sounds like shit…I just can’t take him seriously with that lisp. He sounds like a cartoon character…

    44. the sky is falling the wind is calling stand for something or die in the morning, this is my life and i look at it like its my last and im looking right past the future as i reminisce on my past”. like the fact that hes still inspired at this point to put effort in to writing bars.-

      1. Shyne came out and said that the Kendrick’s GKMC album was Trash!! He also said that he thought Kendrick was good but that his album was over hyped. I disagree. GKMC is a very good album.

    45. Anyone of you guys who think this song isn’t fuckin fire is crazy as fuck. Any of you faggots please comment below and give a good explanation other then ‘this is crap’. Lyrical and Original

    46. I love you, Kendrick. You give me hope for hip hop again. Imma give you 5. Not only for this song but also for Section80 and good kid maad city, work ethic at it’s best.

    47. kendrick finally let the gangsta inside loose. now everyone will see what the beast can do……….. P.S. thanks shyne

    48. Excellent song… In fact, had to listen again cuz I couldn’t stop flowing the first time I heard the beat. But I don’t feel good about the frequency that Kendrick predicts his own death (or others within his lyrics). I believe it attracts bad things.

    49. Shine shut the fuck up. Kendrick dat work. better than anything shine could have ever release, or even have come up with. In fact Shine came out a bitter tiring to sound like puffs revamp of biggie, than tried to sound Ross when he came out. Face it son you wack juice, since when did a itchy trigger finger become skills on the mic. Nigga please!!! You always have and will always be a wack Mcee. I got money on Hammer against his bum ass. LONG LIVE KENDRICK LAMAR

    50. Just when I was about to call this dude slightly overrated (slightly, not completely) he drops this gem. This is official.

    51. 50 cents My Life is better i still think 50’s just a monster i mean kendrick is my fav of the young cats but still 4/5 good stuff
      GRODT still shits on every album since like the late 90’s

    52. I just don’t know why I can’t feel this dude. Everybody says he is dope and all but I just don’t know what it is I can’t listen to him from more than 10 seconds. The Voice, His Flow, IDK…

    53. Anybody calling Kendrick overrated isn’t listening to what he’s saying. He is the future of rap and he’s only getting better. He keeps changing his flow like a real rapper should.
