Kendrick Lamar‘s “good kid, m.A.A.d. city” might just be the most anticipated Hip-Hop release of 2012. The young Compton prodigy has witnessed an unbelievable rise in the past couple of years, culminating in his official Aftermath/Interscope debut on October 22nd. The album is now official available for pre-order on iTunes and along with the tracklisting, a brand new single is now officially available for sale on iTunes.
We have the song available for you to preview below before you pick it up on iTunes, listen to “Compton” featuring Dr. Dre below. Production handled by Just Blaze:

this shit is hard even if its co-produced by a dude from Jersey. Kendrick and Dre got me with this 1
-
Who said Dre fell off?
Kendrick gonna BLOW big time you wait & see!
& Aftermath coming BACK to the forefront! Wordlwide!
(At least everywhere it counts we not talking about Pakistan & them retarded countries where they wanna make music illegal!)
I wouldn't be the least surprised to see all them little bitches who been shtting on Dre for the past couple of years now try to make it as if they always believed! That's how they always do anyway!
-
Average at best . :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: .... dre needs to stay off the mic , he has no presence on it anymore ..
-
swear im a big kendrick fan but the song is called compton and you got fucking just blaze doin it? it just sounds sooo mainstream an shit! i mean i do like i really do production is top notch but if you got a song called "COMPTON" why the fuck you got eastcoast niggaz doin it? why cant dre do it? or battlecat or quik? or shit even in house production.
-
Dre's verse was meh

I pretty much agree. But lets not act like Dre hasnt brought that kind of attention and energy to himself these past years. For the most part, Dre wouldnt really have anybody but to blame but himself (and sometimes a "higher up" or 2). Considering for a while that he's pretty much been his own boss

if it sounds "mainstream" to frequent bloggers off bat then that means it's possibly a hit. but the fact that Just Blaze co-produced it might have some people feeling fickle (not that its a huge threat). the biggie and 2pac coast wars are still resinated to this day

i mean the east-west shit did not cross my mind when i typed that. i just feel if niggaz gonna be repping their shit then have hometown people on it. how would it look if i did a song about kansas city with some nigga from africa playing drums an doin all that rahh rahh shit on it? lmao

Theoretically if u had somebody from the continent of Africa playing the drums and going "rah rah..." (as you put it) wouldnt mean anything. We dont call Elton and Ozzy "British" rock, only some of the seasoned veteran journalist do that.
But I'll bite. Everything u just said in your reply proved exactly what i was saying. Im not saying that everybody in Jazz or any kind of band were isolated to their own but u actually hit it right on the nail with what i was gettin at.
I feel u tho, the thought if it really is kinda weird. A Jersey kat producing a song called "Compton". Ontop of the most critically acclaimed Producer/Rapper/DJ's track? I aint gonna lie, it does stick out a little bit, especially when u k ow where Just Blaze is from. Its a good song either way
-
God damn! Album of the year coming in 3 weeks 8)
-
Mc Eiht featuring?!
looks really good.

yeah thats what i was saying i feel it's a good song! just think that it should have been more i guess stereotypical "compton" feel to it. i mean wtf does just blaze know about compton? he probably knows just as much as me maybe even less! but i do call ozzy british heavy metal man! but thats me i guess i do listen to music outside of hip-hop. i can tell european techno to american techno. and stuff like that. but im not tryna argue we kinda both know what we trying to say.
-
I just pre-ordered the deluxe edition 8)
-
Sounds okay, looking forward to the rest of the album.
-
Beat could be better ... sounds like these badly mixed and noisy Blaze beats on Kingdome Come
-
This is a dope track.
Wondering about the replay value.. we'll see in a few weeks.
-
for me the track is Ok. Nothin more. But still waiting for this album to drop
-
I like the track, nothing mind blowing but pretty nice track overall. Looking forward to the album.
-
Art of Peer Pressure > Swimming Pools > Compton
-
Really just an average track...the raw feelin in the verses gets destroyed by the "slick" singing on the hook.
-
Im fuckin with this track...fuck the haters
-
pretty dope! drake featured on album :'( :'(
-
I'm not gonna listen to the track yet cause I don't want to spoil all the album for me already, since it's now official that "art of peer pressure" and "the recipe" are gonna be on it.
I'm just a bit underwhelmed by the tracklist for now, because i'm surprised that they announce a lady gaga feature called "party nauseous" and then keep it off and that kendrick doesn't even have ab-soul or schoolboy q featured at all. then I don't like the idea of having a deluxe edition with 5 bonus tracks, that is as fishy as N*E*R*D's last album. what's the use of this bullshit? especially when the deluxe edition has the worse cover art which i really dont wanna have in my collection, when i see what the regular looks like. again, a stupid move. what i like is that he's got an mc eiht feature and i'm really eager to hear this. his announcment to keep most of the album inhouse is kinda falsified already, when you see that he chose mary j. blige, drake or anna wise (who is she even) over his black hippy colleagues - or, if it's all about singing, jaVonte or jhené aiko.
anyway, i'm not judging the album yet. i'm gonna still be hyped about the musical and lyrical content, i just wanted to get this off my chest because i was hoping for a better looking tracklist or a more familiar concept.

Random side note, this track is supposedly a Detox leftover. Original supposedly features Game.

nah, can't be the same track. if that was the case, game would have already been punching kendrick's and dre's face single handed, while recording it with his videophone in the other. and you do know that! ;)
-
LMAO @ the official tracklist
-
Okay, according to complex.com the track "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" features Lady GaGa
-
track is whatever...not bad...not great...think the most disapointing part for me was that they couldnt even get someone in to do talkbox to pull the full west coast flavor out...they used a vocoder, and it didnt sound that great at all...
-
i understand where kc hoodsta is coming from but i personally don't care, i think the production is dope, with the small synth solo at the end and the vocoder... the track ain't bad but nothing mindblowing either.
-
It's a decent track. Ultimately, it's just another track, though. One of those songs that are good for a few days and then you wear it out and never listen to it again on its own. I think it works as an album track more than a stand-alone one. The best parts are Dre's verses and the outro. I just can't get into Kendrick's Andre 3000 flow. His music doesn't sound Westcoast to me, and I have no interest in his music beyond Dre's involvement and the MC Eiht feature, but to each his own.
-
Don't really like this track but often times when a track is part of a whole album it just fits, and sounds good. So I'm like everyone else, still waiting till it drops.
-
i don't care if he doesn't sound westcoast personally, i just think he's a dope rapper, i'd rather hear a dope non-westcoast sounding kendrick track than a stereotypical westcoast track from say a washed up mc eiht or daz.
i mean even if it's not your typical g-funk / gangsta sounding artist, he still reps the westcoast heavily , who gets a mc eiht feature on a major project nowadays ? can't lie i'd have liked to see more features from his camp and other westcoast acts but westcoast or not, Kendrick is in his prime and outraps most rappers in 2012 even though he can get corny at times.
-
I think its safe to say that Dr. Dre cant impress Bloggers anymore. If you're really up here trying to dissect this song and break it down and "critique" it then its impossible to please you (online anyway).
Like, I know what'll do the trick to get the majority of Bloggers to stop actin like they know better than Dre or that this song is bad but that'll require some $.
If this song doesnt make you happy then you're just trying too hard to be Cool. Its like those Bloggers who always have something negative to say about Young Money. There really isnt any "middle ground" with this song, you either like it or u dont. And i'd reinerate that if u cant atleast bob ya head to this a little bit then you're impossible to please or you're going out of your way to convey something that you aren't.
-
And yes, I've been to Compton once. That's alot more than probably most (or any) of you can say
-
The recipe is better then this.... i was hoping for a more classic westcoast dre beat with the synth lines and stuff mix with the current drum and bass and snare hits... but... i hope the rest of the album is proper. I'd would've liked to see some black hippy features... im sure they will have a group record out soon enough. Still. Kendrick's verse was dope. Compton's Dragon.

i know you're not talking about me in your post but i'm gonna rest my case and elaborate. i love the beat but the song in itself doesn't stick out, Dre's verses are good though, i'll give you that but i'm not blown away, and it has nothing to do with being a kendrick/dre song or not. it sounds a bit rushed, i mean i love the production but the verses and the direction of the song isn't all that. maybe it'll grow on me maybe it won't, only time will tell. for now, i like the recipe better, but i really like the production, my type of sound totally.
-
Cant wait for this album
It won't sell but will be dope .
-
It won't sell but will be dope .
i think it'll do good. not outstanding numbers. but kendrick has had a good buzz, it should do something like slaughterhouse, which is a decent number in this day and age.
-
alright track.

but is any of that gonna actually stop people from listening to and enjoying the song? it's not that bad and it's definitely not another "I Need A Doctor" (Eminem sold that record btw).
i think dubcc has become so consumed with the mear discussion of Dr. Dre over the years that it's hard for some people to take their head outta their ass on some ocassions. u dont have to agree with everything I like but let's be real, what about this record is actually going to make people not wanna listen to it or bob their head to it even if they find the record slightly okay? i don't think anything becuz it's not a bad song and like i said, it's hard for dubcc and other Bloggers to be objective to spilling their guts out when it comes to Dr. Dre without actually taking a step back off of his nuts. alotta people just wanna jump out there and say something, anything in alot of cases from what it seems
you either like this song or you don't. unless Dre doesn't go mostly grimey on the beats and talks about reality from a mature point of view couped with a song or two about chillin and bein laid back on some party shit then i don't see how he can drop something wack for an album. This is 1 guest apperance song on an album that's shaping up to be pretty fuckin tight. i don't see how and where they went wrong or even how they did (besides the idea of a famous East Coast producer Co-Producing the record).
And truthfully alot of people don't really like that traditional "carbon-copy Post Dr. Dre style Chronic 2001" sound that wasn't even all that popular just a decade ago. That shit was never really all of that hot besides a few songs here and there and obviously those Aftermath related/Dr. Dre stamped records. That "westcoast" sound is way more popular with the R&B crowd verses the Hip Hop crowd. Why do u think "I Am The West" wasn't such a huge album compared to "Laugh Now, Cry Later".
In real life People enjoy music becuz it's Good, not becuz of the misconceptions that only Bloggers have about it regardless of their Age and Background. Snoop had the right singles for the most part but the only thing that seperates him from that is becuz he seemed to put out that shit people loved him for on other people's albums and mixtapes.

He's gonna do J Cole numbers
-
its actually possible that Kendrick can be J. Cole's "replacement" if he doesnt step it up a notch. I know his songs r still in rotation but i can see Kendrick taking some of his steam if he hasnt already. J. Cole is losing by getting a little lazy. He waited that long to put a Retail out there and he aint really doing anything than what he was already doing so to say. I dont think he's lost any fans (or lost the ones he's gained) but he's lookin pretty faceless out here
-
Whew this track goes haaard. I could hear this on the radio, but doubt anyone will take a risk and play it. That is one thing I hate about radio now, no one breaks records anymore unless told directly from the label.
-
^ yup. but thats a whole nother discussion. becuz ppl have to actually like the artist for shit to get any burn
side note: as far as Just Blaze on the track. Dont be suprised when u find out that people really dont give a damn or even know where he's from. Dont be shocked when u hear someone think he's from Cali or from somewhere out West or the Mid West
-
Who cares that the nigga that produced the record is from? The two rappers are from Compton so why would it matter where the beat came from? Some people just have to find a way to nitpick.

i feel you about dubcc & dr dre but i don't fit that particular category, nor do i fit in the blogger category. i ain't trying to be cool i just have my opinion. i just think the song is good but could have been better to be a hit record. and as such i'm wondering about its replay value even though i'm liking the vibe. i wasn't looking forward to hearing a carbon copy of anything, that whole 2001 sound is played out anyway, and i enjoy music for what it is, not because it has dre's name attached to it or because it comes from any region.
-
this track is fucking awesome, Im not sure how anyone could not enjoy this.

i know you're not talking about me in your post but i'm gonna rest

Congratulations. But i dont think Dre can strike Titanium 4x with another song about California, or r we gonna pretend that Cali hasnt been putting out the same Single that literally most of the rappers that come outta there put out. Sure, the song could've been a little better (and i kno where, no plug) but unless youre from Cali or the song is that damn good i cant see another song about "Women, Weed, & Weather" shaking the game up (and yes i agree they dropped the ball with that song in terms of promoting it if u want me to add some dynamic to this).
As far as everybody on here talkin about "it needs to sound more WestCoast" i can assure that WestCoast artists have a negative stigma attached to them, especially when they release songs about Cali. Alot of ppl outside of the West (and probably on the West) r turned off by the the thought of it before they even hear the song. How do u think Jay Rock and Nipsey Hussle broke outta the boxxx. Its why "Straight Outta Compton", "Nuthin But A G Thang, "Gin N Juice", "Been There, Done That", "Still DRE", and "I Need A Doctor" were all huge records and songs like "Kush" and countless other songs about California and have that sound arent. People want good music at the end of the day, not just copy cat records from the same source. Its why "Swimming Pools" is so big and nothing from "Tha Marathon" blew up (some of it was alright tho)
4 what it is it's a good record but it probably wouldnt have been the stand out record anyway. Kendrick didnt get a name by taking the typical Los Angeles rapper route, that shit only gets u so far in the game. I think Kendrick has a little more passion for the craft than that (and better records) and it shows in his music and people like it
-
And yes, I've been to Compton once. That's alot more than probably most (or any) of you can say
lol at this.
By the way track is garbage remove "dre" and remove "compton" then it would be an okay track. The perception with this track threw many people off, including myself. I was waiting for "that" trademark west sound which by far is a disappointment unfortunately.
-
And to add on. Dom Kennedy's shit be poppin becuz he's got that soul element and that organic feel to his beats and it reminds people of that older shit and thats why his shit is more popular as far as Cali rappers go. Verses a guy like my boy Glasses Malone who was signed to one of the biggest labels in music history and yet is still very local in terms of being hot and making music that people enjoy.

I have. And there's nothing really wrong with Dre's verse other than the first part of his first verse where he sounds a tad offbeat but you'll get over that if u even care to hear another song called "Compton". I totally agree with u on that part. I have no more to say about that trademark sound, youre free to shit on and cape for whatever u like at your own will. That shit gets no play outside of Cali tho, and i aint just talkin about where im at

you can hear Slim The Mobster recording to this instrumental (apparently from 2009)

dont like this track... need that west coast sound... the recipe is the best song ive heard so far from this album... that recipe record is west coast all over it... we need that west coast sound... this shit is idk?
-
The singing just ruins the song. I like it apart from the singing though. Nothing amazing, just a solid track.
-
Im not a big Kendrick fan but im gonna go ahead and purchase this without listening to it first. Support Aftermath, maybe itll convince Dre Iovine to release an artist other than Em and 50

Am I the only one who dont see this album as an Aftermath release? I see it more as a joint venture , more like an Interscope release... cool song btw

I agree with this. Its TDE over Aftermath. Kendrick would be releasing dope albums without the Math. I already consider "Section 80" a personal fav of mine. So Kendrick doesnt really Dre to make dope music. This album will just help him appeal to the masses in terms of commercial success. Im not worried about an artist like Kendrick "selling out" with this release.
-
Shit is dope but I like The Recipe better. The end is pretty crazy tho.
-
Was pumped to see this released, until I heard it. I don't mind the verses, but they were wasted on a vanilla track. I wish Dre would start producing his own beats again. This beat is plain, the mix is terrible. I heard Dre had a co-mixing credit, but I would be surprised if he spent more than a couple minutes with this track. This is one of the weakest overall efforts I have seen from him in awhile. Even the Rick Ross track was clean and mixed properly. ???
Anybody know who is singing on the hook? That shit is terrible. Sounded like a cheap Kokane impersonator. They should have left this one in the vault, Dre and Kendrick must have better than this.

Thank you. So many people on these Blogs got their head stuck up their ass. And then they wonder why Drake is goin Platinum. It aint about all that bullshit. Alotta this Blog talk is for the birds (and yes im proud to be a Flying Peacock). Do what u do, good music is good music, and everything in between or horrible is in between music or horrible

i feel you about dubcc & dr dre but i don't fit that particular category, nor do i fit in the blogger category. i ain't trying to be cool i just have my opinion. i just think the song is good but could have been better to be a hit record. and as such i'm wondering about its replay value even though i'm liking the vibe. i wasn't looking forward to hearing a carbon copy of anything, that whole 2001 sound is played out anyway, and i enjoy music for what it is, not because it has dre's name attached to it or because it comes from any region.
Congratulations. But i dont think Dre can strike Titanium 4x with another song about California, or r we gonna pretend that Cali hasnt been putting out the same Single that literally most of the rappers that come outta there put out. Sure, the song could've been a little better (and i kno where, no plug) but unless youre from Cali or the song is that damn good i cant see another song about "Women, Weed, & Weather" shaking the game up (and yes i agree they dropped the ball with that song in terms of promoting it if u want me to add some dynamic to this).
As far as everybody on here talkin about "it needs to sound more WestCoast" i can assure that WestCoast artists have a negative stigma attached to them, especially when they release songs about Cali. Alot of ppl outside of the West (and probably on the West) r turned off by the the thought of it before they even hear the song. How do u think Jay Rock and Nipsey Hussle broke outta the boxxx. Its why "Straight Outta Compton", "Nuthin But A G Thang, "Gin N Juice", "Been There, Done That", "Still DRE", and "I Need A Doctor" were all huge records and songs like "Kush" and countless other songs about California and have that sound arent. People want good music at the end of the day, not just copy cat records from the same source. Its why "Swimming Pools" is so big and nothing from "Tha Marathon" blew up (some of it was alright tho)
4 what it is it's a good record but it probably wouldnt have been the stand out record anyway. Kendrick didnt get a name by taking the typical Los Angeles rapper route, that shit only gets u so far in the game. I think Kendrick has a little more passion for the craft than that (and better records) and it shows in his music and people like it
once i again, i agree (to an extent). i can't stand all these songs about cali all the time, that's why i didn't really like Terrace Martin's album, that's why I didn't fully like Mac Mall's song last year entitled "the bay" (how many songs about the bay are they gonna do, like, really ?). and I think you're right about glasses malone, too.

dre cant make beats. Pac been saying it from way back in '96.

i dont like this
Random side note, this track is supposedly a Detox leftover. Original supposedly features Game.

yeah i said the same thing in the other topic
Was pumped to see this released, until I heard it. I don't mind the verses, but they were wasted on a vanilla track. I wish Dre would start producing his own beats again. This beat is plain, the mix is terrible. I heard Dre had a co-mixing credit, but I would be surprised if he spent more than a couple minutes with this track. This is one of the weakest overall efforts I have seen from him in awhile. Even the Rick Ross track was clean and mixed properly. ???
Anybody know who is singing on the hook? That shit is terrible. Sounded like a cheap Kokane impersonator. They should have left this one in the vault, Dre and Kendrick must have better than this.
even though the dre feature wasn't as bad as the other recent ones, i prefer his productions. he produced one song ( Louis XIII) on the new Xzibit album

This is wacker than Wacky D. At least he had a dance.

im not feeling this track at all. that shit sounds like a left over from one of game's Earlier albums.. the whole compton compton shit is played the fuck out my nigga.
this is the same fucking track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoOaf1uywyA same concept, no originality.. but then again west funs easily expressed by anything that features dre with a hi Synth. all they need to do now is shoot a video wearing khaki suits,chucks, driving 4 low riders and most these euro clowns on here will rate it video of the year. the track gets a 3 out of 5. what fuck is dre doing still rapping about gangsta shit and being in compton ;D.. this nigga just mad the track worst with his Illuminati ass. im sure section 80 will be better than this album.

Some of yall are mad because just blaze did the beat and doesn't sound too west coast? Still D.R.E was written by jay. Z who is from new york and co produced by scott storch who is from philly..hmmm Bitch Please by Snoop was co produced by Melman who is from Boston I think ... Even songs like been there done dat these are co produced by co producers like Sam Sneed who are from the east

Mel-Man is from VA.

Dope track. Sound better than half of the shit out there. I dig the beat also. This shit is firme.

This could be album of the year. Hyped.

A/K/A 'Where I'm From' Part 2, this time with the Dr. Dre verse included and with someone other than Nate Dogg on the chorus.
I'm not gonna lie though, it's a catchy track and the album is shaping up nicely. Great little ode to the glory days of g-funk with the beat twist at the end as well.
On a side note, what's the significance of the double As in the album title?
-
And yes, I've been to Compton once. That's alot more than probably most (or any) of you can say
lol at this.
By the way track is garbage remove "dre" and remove "compton" then it would be an okay track. The perception with this track threw many people off, including myself. I was waiting for "that" trademark west sound which by far is a disappointment unfortunately.
I have. And there's nothing really wrong with Dre's verse other than the first part of his first verse where he sounds a tad offbeat but you'll get over that if u even care to hear another song called "Compton". I totally agree with u on that part. I have no more to say about that trademark sound, youre free to shit on and cape for whatever u like at your own will. That shit gets no play outside of Cali tho, and i aint just talkin about where im at
oh I was no lol at you by the way, I live in cali and been to Compton couple of times as well 8). I agree that the westcoast sound wont get play outside or hit mainstream as well it did back in the early 90's which is unfortunate. I guess I am stuck like many of us who grew up listening in that era. I keep trying to listen to this track to like it but falls short but that goes with the territory, you either like it or not. Hopefully the album wont go "too" mainstream".

hell yeaaah 8)
-
who wrote dre's verse?
-
it seems like Dre is a featured rapper now, while he still produces he doesn't do most of the tracks he is on which is strange
-
A/K/A 'Where I'm From' Part 2, this time with the Dr. Dre verse included and with someone other than Nate Dogg on the chorus.
Off topic, but why didn't the version of "Where I'm From" w/Dre make The Documentary?

He aint hungry anymore. Diddy still has more money than him (even if some of it is in liquidation) and yet he still shows up on records and in videos all of the time. To each his own but.......
-
I agree with this. Its TDE over Aftermath. Kendrick would be releasing dope albums without the Math. I already consider "Section 80" a personal fav of mine. So Kendrick doesnt really Dre to make dope music. This album will just help him appeal to the masses in terms of commercial success. Im not worried about an artist like Kendrick "selling out" with this release.
Yeah, i agree. I'm still bumpin' "Section.80". Hopefully this album will be good too. I ain't really feelin' this track though.

Yeah not as good as MvM whatever u say 8)
Actually I don't own WMD but I'll amend my comment to 'possibly his weakest' ;D
Don't get me wrong I liked it.

mvm is his def weakest album :D i did onwed that album but sell cuz it was so weak compare to Restless but anyway u must have weird tatse in muisc if u think that Napalm is worst than MvM ;D ;D

MvM is dope. All Xzibits albums got +'s & -'s...and all are stylistically quite different.
This is the only one I've heard that doesn't have that polish, and venom all the way though.
But like I say, I still enjoyed the album

Definitely better than MvM and Full Circle.

Can't be more off topic than that...
I like this track, I can't wait for the album, I think it's gonna be great. Swimming pool is growing on me A LOT

I think some of the bonus tracks might be produced by Dre. Wouldn't be suprised if they weren't though.
