No way possible it sounds like Atlanta. Closest would be "Swimming pools" but even that doesn't sound hype enough...that's just modern Mike Will/40 style at most.

There's a lot of Outkast 96 influence on this album so I can see where the author of that post NIK sited got the Atlanta vibe from. However I'm past the whole "well it isn't a west coast sounding album so I have to take it down a notch or two" phase. Kendrick put together and pulled off a great conceptual HIP-HOP album. Too soon to call it a classic, however this album will probably join that conversation in a few years.
Kendrick is definitely an acquired taste. I had his whole discography, guest features and thought his style was very boring and bland. But when he released Cartoon & Cereal and couple of dope guest appearances, it made me dig again. You really have to get through the initial stage and let the music soak in. It suddenly just clicked and I started to really like the music. He has his own persona, vibe, the way he crafts song. It's just very "out there". Reminds me of the sitcom Arrested Development. Hated it at first when watching 3,4 episodes but once I felt the vibe, I loved it.
By the way, is his real name Kendrick Duckworth?
