Kendrick Lamar- Good kid Maad City goes gold!

With the plans for his next single surfacing last week, Kendrick Lamar's debut album good kid, m.A.A.d city is now certified Gold. Reaching over 500,000 units sold in about five weeks, we can expect the number to raise even quicker when his Drake-assisted track "Poetic Justice" hits televisions and airwaves.

Very good!

since everybody already knows about "Poetic Justice" (an okay track) he should do another dual single like he did with "The Recipe" and "Swimming Pools".  Instead this time do it with "Poetic Justice" and "M.a.a.D City". 



And then for the 3rd single 1 or 2 of these 3:  "Don't Kill My Vibe", "Money Trees", & "Backseat Freestyle".

"Poetic Justice" is one of the weakest tracks on a classic album. I can see why they would release it though. It's the only song outside of "Swimming Pools" on the regular album with a real chance at any crossover airplay.

How I would love a video for "m.A.A.d City" though. But let's face it - that track is strictly for hip-hop heads.

Congratulations to Kendrick, he deserves it.

Yeah, true that. Drake is a big name and it will help Kendrick get more sales and exposure.

People who know who Kendrick Lamar is know Drake and I'm almost willing to bet vice versa.  I don't see why they NEED to get a video crackin off 4 that 1

The logical choice is "Poetic Justice" just off that sample alone, not to mention the Drake feature. Once this single gets major burn then he will have the visibility to follow up with another single,  "Money Trees" would be ideal, but they'd have to chop Jay Rocks verse for radio. Kendricks success hopefully means we're gonna get another TDE album sooner than later, Rock or Q?

& It's bound to go platinum & double platinum at the very least! Mark my words, been saying it ALL ALONG while some other here would doubt this album would even & ever be released on the Math!
