"good kid, m.A.A.d. city" - Kendrick Lamar (Oct. 22nd, 2012)

[Blu]

This is crazy, when I went to Best Buy they only had one deluxe version remaining.

Damn, my friend told me he didn't see a single copy

[King Lance]

I think it was under-shipped coz interscope didn't plan to see kendrick selling that much... a lot of ppl have to wait 1 week if they want to buy the album :X

HitsDailyDouble :

b]Eyes are also on Aftermath/Interscope’s hip-hop breakout Kendrick Lamar, meanwhile, who will move an impressive 225-240k. In a Taylor-free debut week, he'd likely be stomping the chart like Godzilla, so much respect is due.[/b]

I predict 280 k

so this currently has a 91 on metacritic

I've been listening to this album today, and I think I might finally get Kendrick. While I don't like Section.80 that much, this one sticks with me as a great album. I'm glad it's receiving so much praise.

Also, I have a lot of respect for the fact that they didn't compromise the album for singles. The fact that "The Recipe" is a bonus and the Lady Gaga collab was left off of the album supports that.

[King Lance]

and kdot said he had something like 60 stories, just like the one from GKMC

[rapaddict92]

i haven't even listened to this yet.

Album of the year thus far, not quite up to scratch with section 80 but kind of expected. Still amazing just bought my tickets to Kendricks show too. never been to a rap concert before , they just don't come down here.

[King Lance]

he'll perform in Europe, hell yeah

[Manly Moose]

Maybe successful numbers will inspire Dre to release Detox!!

[BumShiv]

Black Boy Fly is so good

[King Lance]

That ending part of "Compton" >>>

AIN'T NO CITY QUITE LIKE MIIIIINEEE

Or just when he shouts " Just blazeeeee" then the beat goes crazy
