whoa, this album is incredible, this is one of the best put together albums I have heard in a long time. I don't think I've heard a west album sound this good since the documentary...

Solid album , well put together ... the weird voices here and there (especially at the debut of the album)  and some tracks being too long are the only flaws for me ...

Good Kid and Maad City stand out for me

stole this from the coli forum where "36 Chambers" posted this, but it is a pretty accurate breakdown:

1. Kendrick is about to meet up with this girl called Sherane. He takes his mother's van to meet her and he bumps into two guys. If this was a movie it would cut.

2. You then realize track 1 was a flash-forward, and this is the actual first track. At the end of this track, Kendrick's homies pick him up.

3. Self explanatory, he does a freestyle in the backseat whilst they're driving.

4. Once again, fairly self explanatory, they cruise around, smoking blunts, drinking and rob someone's house and almost get caught

5. They then talk about meeting up later at 10.30, cause Kendrick has to go meet up with the girl Sherane and **** her. This is somewhat a "filler" song for the album, and just gives a bit more insight about how they're all chasing money.

6. This is where we meet with track 1, Kendrick take's his mother's van and borrows it and meets up. Kendrick talks about bad *****es in this, and Sherane is definitely one of them. At the end of THIS song, we hear the same melody we heard in track 1 and it flashbacks in to the two guys asking where the **** Kendrick is from.

7. They beat the **** out of Kendrick and in this song he even says "they will never respect the good kid maad city".

8. Kendrick is mad as **** for being beat up, once again another "filler" track but at the end of this track, he meets up with his homies and they're helping him recover and give him some liquor drink since he's just been beaten the **** up.

9. Talks about the liquor abuse, following on from track 8 and then at the end of this song, they see the guys that ****ed up Kendrick and shoot at them. They shoot back and kill one of the homie's brother. (NOT kendrick's brother)

10. Flash forward to present day and it's no longer in the story. The first two verses are from the perspective of the friend (the one who's brother died) and how he feels about the whole situation. It's revealed that he wasn't happy with Section 80's Keyshia's Song since that was actually based on his sister. He talks further about it and says that his story isn't going to change **** on the streets. Throughout the whole song the chorus is "promise that you will sing about me". Towards the end of the verse (from the perspective of the friend) he says that he'll never fade away, and it is somewhat true, the memory will never fade away, but the friend actually passed away, HENCE why Kendrick didn't have him do the verse himself. From here we can see that Kendrick feels complete guilt for the death of his friend's brother and it seems that when he did a song about his friend's sister (keyshia) it didn't help the situation. However, he still was friends with Kendrick and asked Kendrick to promise to tell the story of his brother.

11. We cut back to the story and the boys wanna go and kill the guys that shot Kendrick's friend's brother, they are confronted by a lady of the church who convinces them. Kendrick then receives a phone call from his mother about him taking it seriously and going to the studio since he got a phone call about it.

12. I assume this is an epilogue of Kendrick and how he progressed and made it out of Compton to get studio time with Dr. Dre.

Last point is kind of a reach but overall I think this is the narrative of the album

havent peeped it yet, but why are peeps callin it his debut when he came out with "Section 80" ... it may be his major debut, but it aint his debut album.


and he had another album before that also.


Yea, but that was a mixtape, no?
might be classified as a mixtape, but its an album.  its not hosted by any djs and the songs are quality.  "Average Joe" and "The Heart Part 2" are two of my favorite Kendrick songs
it wasn't all original beats so you can't take it as an album even though it is for sale on itunes

haven't heard the album yet, I will probably wait for my physical copy

I wasn't planning on listening to this, but reading this thread made me really curious to see what this is all about.

Fantastic ALBUM! A great listen from the 1 track to the last. Really sounds like a album and not just a random collection of songs.

Agree with the early Outkast sound someone mentioned 8)

Will most def buy this.

It's cool that everyone seems to be loving this, because that rarely seems to happen nowadays...

But I just wish I loved it too, LOL

Not really feeling any of the beats (seem to be mostly drum machine/keyboard type beats?),
don't really like dude's voice... he can rap fast, but I heard fast rapping for decades now...

Having said that, I hope he does do well, and opens the door for more diversity in the mainstream...
