only interested in the track with Kendrick, somebody wanna shoot a link for the mp3?

wtf why?

because I'm a lazy bastard, that's why  8)

Why listen to one song off a tape with a slew of good rappers?

He's obviously only interested in Kendrick verse. Why is that so hard to comprehend ? He was pretty straight forward about it.

1. Make It Big - 4/5. "Hip-Hop is my culture." Beat drops in at 1:15 and its pretty tight. 9th Wonder & Khrysis make a good team here. Nice little hip-hop history listen here.
2. Band Practice - 4.5/5 Real short track but this beat bangs like real hip-hop shit. Flows, lyrics, everything!
3. Enjoy - 4.5/5. Warren G sounds fresh on here. A good verse; better than I expected really. Damn, Murs is dope as fuck on here too. I knew Kendrick Lamar was gonna snap!
4. Streets of Music - 4.5/5. Again, some real hip-hop shit. Beat is dope. Never heard of these artists but this is tight as fuck. "I was probably bumpin Quik or Ant Banks myself"

5. Hearing the Melody - 5/5. This stands out to me. Three dope emcees. "Don't even call me an emcee, I'm on ogre, I'm a meteorite these niggas mediocre."
6. Loyalty - 4/5. On a slower vibe but still some real hip-hop shit. The scratches are dope. They make a track dedicated to women still sound dope haha.
7. Now I'm Being Cool - 3.75/5. The girl has a dope voice. This is a very cool track. Doesn't stand out to me like the rest though. Still great.
8. Never Stop Loving You - 4.5/5. Loving the Talib/Martin collab. Kweli straight kills this. I'm diggin' this. The Sax is fresh!

9. Piranhas - 5/5. This beat is tight. Sounds like some Premo! Blu is really killing this. "I'm colder than the day y'all celebrate in December." The concept of this record is dope.
10. Peanut Butter & Jelly - 4/5. Cool to see Marsha have a full solo track on here instead of just making an appearance singing a hook. This is good! Haha, the concept is tight.
11. One Night - 4/5. This is smooth! Has Terrace's imprint all over it; especially that sax! Very funky. I dig it! Sounds old school with some nice rapping on it too.
12. Your Smile - 4/5. Follows the previous track up nicely. Also has a little smooth element to it with a nice old school singing touch. Also contains some nice rapping.

13. No Pretending - 5/5. Rae starts it off right away and he's tight as fuck; heavy dosage of him too. The beat is nice! "stay buzzin' from here to Toronto". Remo is dope too!
14. 20 Feet Tall - 4/5. Erykah mothafuckin' Badu! She sounds dope on this. I swear this is a solo Badu track though.
15. That's Love - 4/5. I've only heard Heather Victoria once and loved her (David Banner & 9th Wonder album). I don't know much about Mac Miller but he's tight on this.
16. A Star U R - 4.5/5. Again, Terrace Martin so fresh on that sax. Didn't expect to see Problem over a 9th Wonder beat but he really does kill it.

All in all this is a very dope hip-hop album. It should meet everyone's expectations for sure. It's exactly what you'd expect.

8.5/10


Yo Luna your reviews are always appreciated. Definitely helps me find the gems on the album a little quicker.
Glad u appreciate 'em fam

I finally heard that joint... it's cool but I guess since a few heads with respectable tastes are recommending me to get the whole thing then I might just do that  8)

this album is incredible. jamla is the best label (team) in hip hop right now imo.
