Dr.Dre must love Summer Madness - he used the sample on Popped Off with T.I. and now he raps on Just Blaze's Compton

 

[RJT]

Didn't see this posted, so:

good kid, m.A.A.d city: The Samples

Hopefully this is legal to post on GAF lol.

Can someone confirm if the sonng sampled on Art of Peer Pressure is credited in the album notes? I'd be pretty disappointed if it isn't...

It is. They have R. Rask, which is the producer of Suspekt and the track, Helt Alene, as a co-writer along with two other names.

 

[Az]

Love the hype this album is getting, really deserved.

Thanks, man.

Cross-posting from GAF-Hop:

Shyne calls in to Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg to defend his comment about GKMC. He liked Fucking Problem but not GKMC and then praises Lupe LOLOLOL Shyne goes off though.

Also Kendrick on 106 & Park. This is actually a pretty good interview from what you'd expect from 106. He breaks down some lyrics from the album near the end too.

His top 3 lyricists of all time are Pac, Jay and Em.

 

[Nibel]

Is Shyne even relevant anymore

Splinter = Hoodrat lol

How did I not catch that.

not bad, always like to hear Kendrick's thoughts on shit. He has pretty good taste.

Sing About Me is so emotional damn. That first verse ending in gun shots.

 

[LightOfTruth]

Ok so after listening to it a lot I dont think Im keeping Real or BSF. However, with some of the bonus tracks (not to mention C&C and The Heart pt 3), my opinion hasnt changed: AOTY, and best album since MBDTF, for me. So amazing.

 

[Infinite]

Never really listened to a full Kendrick release but I always really liked the song rigomortis. Went to NYC Best Buy events and kids put me on to him. I'm really digging this album.

 

[Macca]

Thought some people in here might dig this, our own moderator Blackace put up a new West Coast mix yesterday, and it features a lot of Kendrick/Schoolboy songs.

Skippin back is a bit wonky, it's a bug I need to fix

 

[BlackGhost]

Loved Section 80, listening to this for the first time right now.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

The Dre tracks are the best on album

 

[EloquentM]

The Dre tracks are the best on album

There's no dre beats...oh

 

[Cheddahz]

I'll admit, I think the first half of this album is alot better than the second one, but my favorite track is on the second half (Compton), so um yeah

 

[Nibel]

I don't even live in the States and assuming from various Twitter + Facebook posts/pics + reviews it seems like Kendrick is everywhere right now

 

[solarus]

Compton is not even in my top 5, it doesn't stand out to me at all. I wasn't feeling it before the album leaked but with the context of the album its fine.
The Beats reference by Dre in the song....Ugh

 

[RJT]

The metacritic score went up to 91%, and XXL gave it a perfect score. I'm loving the praise that the album is getting.
Hopefully that will mean decent first week sales. When will we have he first numbers?

Last I saw he was projected to sell 220-240k.

Good numbers for the debut album, IMO. That would beat J.Cole's debut and Rick Ross' latest album.

Shame gkmc had to come out the same week as R.E.D. though. Only Taylor Swift has the power to make a break-up record and go platinum in a week.

 

[MightyHealthy]

I love seeing those numbers for Kendrick. LOVE IT.

 

[Kaizer]

If those numbers are true, fucking awesome.

 

[Ken Masters]

I love seeing those numbers for Kendrick. LOVE IT.

You post in the coli breh?

DEHH REVIEW

 

[DominoKid]

*game vs shyne tweetwar*

makes sense. Kendrick was around in the Black Wallstreet days.

 

[Macca]

Schoolboy makes m.A.A.d city, fucka MC Eiht

 

[OG Kush]

One major problem I have is how is he going to perform this album live with all the random accents and voice effects he uses in this album. It will be tough no doubt. I also saw a video of Kendrick playing Money Trees live at best buy, and the crowd was singing along etc and whenever the crowd said "ya bish" it just sounded corny as hell.

 

[RJT]

EDIT: wrong thread. Kendrick is awesome, btw...

 

[MightyHealthy]

You post in the coli breh?

Yep, I'm under the same name there...postin in The Coli.

What's your name on there?

 

[Cheddahz]

After "downloading" the album, I rode out to Best Buy yesterday and bought the deluxe edition of g.o.o.d kid maad city, Kendrick deserved my 15 bucks

 

[Az987]

I picked it up the other day at Target. They had the deluxe for $12 and it had 2 more extra tracks that were exclusive to Target (lol). I hate this deluxe album bullshit.

I'm liking it a lot. I wish I would have saw him in concert when he was in D.C. not too long ago.

 

[liger05]

Album is ok. Lyrically its nothing special. Chino XL's album is far far better

YAWK YAWK YAWK YAWK

Who the hell is Chino XL

I don't know why Game (or any of the WC rappers) are giving this attention whoring troll the time of day.

I understand that Kendrick is the new King of the West and you gotta ride for ya homies, but they're giving Shyne exactly what he wants: Fifteen minutes in the spotlight.

[samus i am]

Why does Shyne talk like he's he's an old man? He isn't even as old as Jay Z.

DEHH REVIEW

Thanks for posting this, been waiting for what dead end had to say.

I agree about how it will be difficult recreate some of the effects used with his voice on the album. Hopefully they still sound good live either way.

 

[DyTonic]

This is probably the biggest bandwagon album in last 2 years -_-.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

LOL @ the Shyne vs Game tweets.

 

[tanooki141]

Perfect

 

[overcast]

This is probably the biggest bandwagon album in last 2 years -_-.

What is that supposed to mean? When an album gets great buzz such as this one, people will listen to it.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

I've been bumping the album the past few days and it grew on me. However, production doesn't convince me. Only beats I remember are Money Trees, mAAd City and The Recipe. Also I don't understand why the fack he didn't put the skits as separate "songs". Great to listen them the first few times, but after that?

 

[Galang]

I laughed

 

[Uno Venova]

Hardly any my friends or fam know about it surprisingly.

 

[njean777]

This is probably the biggest bandwagon album in last 2 years -_-.

What? So just because people like it, its a bandwagon album now? Or are you that guy who listens to death grips and considers himself superior to the general population?

 

[DyTonic]

All these kendrick fans popping up left and right due to the buzz behind it. It's an ok album, but damn like it's not even up there as the way people making it out to be.

 

[Uno Venova]

How can you be a functioning human being and not get how opinions work?

And great music gets you fans, who knew.
