from a new artist i said....def alot of good albums from the west but to me this isnt the same ol west gangbang music

[samutahjazz]

below the heavens is so far and away the better album, its not even close. . . . i would listen to the exile intrumentals over section80 any day. and as for new artist, what do you mean? i've been hearin about this guy for a while, hasnt he put out at least a couple album before??  anyways it doesnt matter. this album didnt live up to the hype, no surprise, most albums don't these days.

its magic ! real soulful

[Lunatic]

I finally just got around to listening to this album now.

1. Fuck Your Ethnicity - 4.5/5. This is a SICK opener. Very soulful and Kendrick is extremely on point.
2. Hol' Up - 4/5. Again very nice and soulful. This is real music right here.
3. A.D.H.D. - 4.5/5. Loving the continuation of this consistent sound. Very nice concept.
4. No Make-Up - 4/5. Colin Munroe is a dope singer. I remember hearing him for the first time on a Donnis mixtape. Great beat too. Very cool/interesting ending as well.

5. Tammy's Song - 3.5/5. Interesting beat. Not sure if I like it yet. It's cool, but the worst track so far. Kendrick's flow is sick though and the concept is on point.
6. Chapter Six - I see it as more of a musical skit. No rating but it sounds great and is a nice set up for the next track.
7. Ronald Reagan Era - 4.25/5. Loved this since I first heard it when it leaked.
8. Poe Man's Vice - 3.5/5.  Mellow beat. Hook accommodates it well. It's a very cool track. Fits GLC well.

9. The Spiteful Chant - 4.5/5. LOL at the hook. Beat is fire. This is absolutely fire overall.
10. Chapter Ten - Another cool musical skit setting up the next cut. Kendrick has a DOPE short verse on here too.
11. Keisha's Song - 5/5. This hook singer is sick. Another dope cut from a perspective. This may be my favorite joint on the album.
12. Rigamortus - 3.75/5 Beat is cool. Interesting concept. Kendrick's flow is sick here! A highlight on the album in terms of flow.

13. Kush & Corinthians - 3.5/5. This beat is cool. BJ The Chicago kid is so dope. This is a cool track, nothing special though.
14. Blow My High - 3.75/5. SICK sample. Cool beat. A different vibe but it still fits Kendrick. Very cool track.
15. Ab-Souls Outro - 4.5/5. Very cool showcase for Ab-Soul. He kills this too. A very nice track.
16. HiiiPower - 4/5. The first single, always loved this.

Overall this is a fantastic release. At least an 8.5/10. Kendrick is an extremely unique talent with his own sound that has a powerful message behind nearly every song on this record. It's cool to see Dre cosign a talent like this, but Kendrick doesn't need that anyways, he's a phenomenal talent on his own too.
