I don't mind cuz one day you'll POLL the good kid...m.a.a.d. city

i think either "good kid" or "m.a.a.d city" though will have to relisten to make sure

i really appreciate that "backseat freestyle" and "swimming pools" were very public crossover anthems in the midst of this dense, conceptual record

"bitch don't kill my vibe" remains the worst

don't really gaf about this album but "maad city" is nice, although admittedly mostly for eiht

I love "Money Trees," mostly for Jay Rock's verse at the end.

sing about me, i'm dying of thirst > the art of peer pressure > sherane aka master splinter's daughter > bitch don't kill my vibe

i could go on tho, i loved this album from the first time i played it. i haven't actually listened to section 80 tho, guess i should give it a shot.

Fuck it, I'm voting for "Poetic Justice".

I am going with neither of the original two I propped up, and instead going with "M.A.A.D. City". love the Ice Cube sample/lyrical callback, and not to mention the intensity of the grim subject matter.

Good Kid

Difficult - Peer Pressure vs Money Trees vs Good Kid vs Swimming Pools

that voice that says "just ridin....just ridin" on Art of Peer Pressure gets me every time. like it's his inner voice tryin to calm himself down, "we're just ridin, it's cool", hoping their actions won't keep escalating.

Aw man, goddamn, all hell broke loose
You killed my cousin back in '94, fuck your truce
Now crawl your head in that noose, you wind up dead on the news
Ain't no peace treaty, just pieces BG's up to pre-approve
Bodies on top of bodies, IV's on top of IV's
Obviously the coroner between the sheets like the Isleys
When you hop on that trolley, make sure your colors correct
Make sure you're corporate, or they'll be calling your mother collect
They say the governor collect, all of our taxes except
When we in traffic and tragic happens, that shit ain't no threat
You moving backwards if you suggest that you sleep with a Tec
Go buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial, I guess, m.A.A.d city

there was a moment at the show last Sunday when he said something like he was glad we (the audience) was feelin' him and the place erupted for about 3 minutes and he paused and you could see it register on his face and momentarily overwhelm him, almost like he was K. Dot again seeing his dream realized in the future, and he got teary-eyed for a moment and said "Wow...that's love". probably the warmest moment I've ever had at a concert in general.

either money trees or MAAD city, the big fuckoff synth at the end of the latter might push it over for me

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

holy shit this A-Ha mashup

https://soundcloud.com/n04hmusic/a-hakendrick-lamar-take-on-backseat-mashup

ilm & hiphop is such a bizarre combo to me

it is a v funny mashup indeed, well done

I didn't think the results would be Money Tree 10-2 Poetic Justice (two of my favorite tracks). And Bitch don't kill my vibe at 3.

wow that mashup is glorious !

still his best album. by a big margin.

well now we know what tori amos would've voted for
