Can you post that review cause his websites blocked at work?

shyt is hella long man. nikka gotta page long intro which you gotta read when you get off. But here's his review of the album by song.

1. Sherane a.k.a. Master Splinter's Daughter - First words uttered on this whole album.."Lord God...I come to you a sinner. And I humbly repent for my sins". This aint gon be the only time God n Jesus gon come up on this album...we gon get into all that later too tho. The beat is some hypnotic shyt. Its the perfect type a joint for gettin on some storytellin shyt...n you dont need me to tell you that son be knowin how to get his storytellin on bruh. Kendrick the type who gon paint you all the details in the picture for some shyt that probably was only a one minute convo or some shyt that happened in a blink of the eye n shyt. shyt is also the introduction to the Sherane character. He meets her at the party n...long story short.. he in his moms van tryna get to her crib to go hit that when he seen two nikkas in hoodies approachin... then the shyt cuts off. But you can jus listen to this shyt without payin attention to the shyt he narratin too. It jus wont make as much sense.

2. bytch, Don't Kill My Vibe - This shyt is crazy laid back too. The hook on this shyt goes "I am a sinner...who's probably gonna sin again...Lord forgive me" so he still on that religified shyt. This is a break from the story tho. If the last joint was son reminiscin on some old shyt..then its kinda like he transported back to the future for this one namsayin. So here he is thinkin bout where he at in life now.

3. Backseat Freestyle - This shyt is connected to a skit where Kendrick's homies scoop him up n now he in the back of the car n they ridin round kickin they little freestyles n shyt....basically what it says in the song title. Now obviously this aint like no shyt he freestylin forreal off the top of his head n shyt but he also aint rhymin bout nothin specific. This kinda like some A Milli type shyt. I fukks wit it. Nothin bout God or Jesus on this one. Son back in character rhymin like he a teenager bout stupid shyt only little nikkas be sayin. Only thing I was thinkin is he coulda had ScHoolboy Q or Ab-Soul come bless this shyt too. At one point it even sound kinda like Kendrick doin a Q impersonation or some shyt anyways yo. This shyt bangs tho. I mean...it might sound kinda like some simple shyt but so was Sucker MCs son. Muthafukkin Hit-Boy went in on this shyt yo...plus the track be givin Kendrick a chance to flex on it.

4. The Art of Peer Pressure - This shyt got basically two parts. The first minute is jus son on some singin shyt wettin the paint on his brush before he paints that next story. The beat is like some fly grown man shyt. Almost toooooo grown man...like the shyt that Puffy might got playin in his crib in the Hamptons while he kickin it wit old ass white dudes sippin Ciroc outta some shyt wit umbrellas n mad fruit in it....like some sophisticated yet slightly played out soundiun shyt. Dont get me wrong tho. I mean I fukks wit it...but it also sounds like some shyt Lupe would cop from a 14 yr old beat makin nikka from Chechnya n keep on his workout playlist along wit some rare Sade demos n Yo-Yo Ma's old old old shyt....like his first shyt that only Lupe kno bout n shyt. Then the beat transforms n we get to the actual ACTUAL song. The shyt gets kinda dark n he continues his story n whatever. I aint gon spoil the whole shyt for yall but basically the moral of the tale is that son really dont be gettin high or gettin in any altercations or doin no criminal shyt n robbin nikkas unless he wit his homies. Thats some real shyt right there.

5. Money Trees ft Jay Rock - I dont kno who DJ Dahi is but he muthafukkin fool for this beat son. Kendrick talmbout all the shyt that done happen so far on this shyt for his verse. Then the hook come in n its some fly shyt...even tho what he sayin gotta lotta substance to it. Like when you hear the track son seems like jus on some regular ol disrespectful shyt. Like he jus stuntin on you for no reason nahmean. Fact is son actually droppin jewelz on this shyt while he disrespectin whoever. Then Jay Rock pops up on this shyt... Or more like Jay Rock possessed by the ghost of a nikka that can really really rap pops up on this shyt. Its like son wasnt comfortable wit slidin down to the bottom of the Black Hippy totem pole ever since Soul done evolved into some deep thinkin ass muthafukka n Q became THAT dude.... Almost like he thinkin SO IMMA JUS BE THE TONY YAYO OF THIS CREW ALL A SUDDEN? NAWWWW... So he been workin on his flow a little. Rock wasnt ever no wack nikka tho...he jus wasnt on par wit the other nikkas in the crew. But he definitely sound like he caught wind of that little message n decided he was gon step his shyt up. Whatever works b.

6. Poetic Justice ft Drake - Man...ey'thing bout the words in the title of this track jus seems fukked up right here. I aint gon front. Like I get it...its a joint for the females. This is actually the joint that represents the last verse of the first track where son is bout to go see his girl Sherane n them dudes come out wit they hoodies on. You might even say this shyt is kinda genius the way he tied it back into that story. But why Drake gotta be on this joint? Why Aubrey Graham gotta sprout his wings n flutter all over this shyt? Why Drake in the van wit you on the way to Sherane house in the first place Kendrick? I mean...son really hadda come along par? Aint even like that bathwater drinkin, waffle syrup bleedin, baby powder sneezin, spritzer pourin muthafukka came wit some different shyt. He jus did his usual Drake thing...which is normally jus some instructions for random broads on how they can feel comfortable round him since he kno he aint perfect n she should kno she aint perfect but they perfect together so they can still have a good time bein flawed individuals either way cuz that shyt is destiny even tho he tryin to better hisself but at least he successful now so he aint really mad at how shyt done turned out for him cuz nikkas gon always be unnecessarily hatin on him for all the suspect ass shyt he be doin seein as they jus jealous of where he at in life n feel like they gotta cut him down to size n not that he wanna brag or nothin but it is what it is n she need to come closer so he can describe ey'thing she wearin for whoever listenin n explain to her how her flaws is the reason why she is who she is n why she need to be embracin that shyt stead a hidin behind hairdos n fly clothes since bein mad plain lookin n even possibly slightly unattractive or overweight is what makes her as unique as the snowflakes he use to catch on his tongue while he was makin snow angels on the driveway of his momma house in Toronto before he would run into the kitchen wit his homies Kyle n Blake n have hot chocolates n make smores or some shyt n even tho he wouldnt fukk wit her FORREAL forreal jus only on a song cuz in real life he tryin to bag Rihanna again n has dreams bout Aaliyah bein resurrected n wantin to thank him for single-handedly keepin her memory alive n makin posthumous joints wit her by walkin into the Young Money offices in front of ey'body n givin him a big kiss n scoopin him up n carryin him out while ey'body clappin n cheerin n Weezy goin WAY TO GO DRAKE...WAY TO GO...but he figures chicks wit low self esteem dig all that corny ass overly honest n conflicted bout ya own emotions n opinions shyt cuz its mad relateable so he gon say it anyways....but he kinda toned it down for this joint so its whatever.

7. good kid - This shyt dont sound like no other Pharrell beat I heard before yo. Not that thats a bad thing or nothin. Even tho that sounds like Pharrell on the hook its actually Chad Hugo. You kno...the OTHER dude in the Neptunes aka the John Oates (google it) of hip hop. The beat aint really nothin special but it suits the album namsayin. Meanwhile Kendrick sayin some real shyt bout the gangs situation in his city n how even tho he dont partake in none of that shyt personally the cops gon still pull his car over anyways n treat him like he be bangin or whatever. So at the end of the day he dont really got options like that anyways nahmean. Same shyt different town basically.

8. m.A.A.d. city ft MC Eiht - This shyt is lowkey the masterpiece of the whole album. If you aint never heard the name MC Eiht...he basically a Compton legend. Look him up...download some Compton's Most Wanted albums....watch him in Mencae II Society or some shyt. Get familiar... This another joint where the beat changes n its like two songs in one again. First half is dope but the second half? Son... Its like he took all the most conscious west coast gangster shyt that dropped in '91 n put it all in a blender. shyt is more than some kinda homage...its like a time machine yo. But he still stickin to the script so it aint like the shyt aint got no purpose in bein on the album or whatever. This shyt is basically the Yang to the Yin of the last joint...or which ever one is the little bit of light inside the dark n shyt.

9. Swimming Pools (Drank) [Extended Version] - Man when I first heard this shyt I was jus happy to see T-Minus doin a beat for somebody who wasnt wack yo. Cuz son be slidin a lot of cold ass beats to mediocre nikkas forreal. If you gon do some PSA shyt for the youngsters this how you do it b... The single version was mad cool...but the little switch up at the end of this shyt jus too ill yo. I mean its short as Kreayshawn's lifespan as a major label artist was but thats what makes the shyt so crazy. shyt made me want to jus loop that 25 seconds of perfection over n over. Im glad they did somethin special wit this song for the album too yo.

10. Sing About Me/I'm Dying of Thirst - This beat on Sing About Me is another one thats mad grown...like this shyt got the room lookin like ey'thing gotta sepia filter on it...makin me feel like I gotta light some candles or some shyt. Word...son put some sepia on this muthafukka foreal. I might gotta put a suit on for this. The verses is gon be kinda confusin for you if you listenin to this shyt while skippin all the skits. You might gon be wonderin why Kendrick rhymin bout havin titties n gettin tossed by 3 nikkas in a room or whatever... But either way the shyt so buttery smooth you should fukk wit it still. The second half is like the start of his transformation into a more conscious individual n shyt. Then we get another prayer...

11. Real ft Anna Wise - This one might jus be a little too far into smooth territory for myself personally. Like I aint necessarily need to hop up to hit the skip on this shyt but at the same time I aint gon be like YO PUT THAT shyt ON TRACK 11 when the cd gets thrown in at the crib or in the ride. But the shyt is aight. By this point the little voicemail messages from Kendricks folks is gettin a little unnecessary n semi corny tho. Like can these muthafukkas go to sleep? At the same time this last skit puts a nice little bow on the story.

12. Compton ft Dr Dre - Just Blaze you a muthafukkin beast for this beat homie. We back in the future again n my nikka tradin bars (that he penned) wit the king of the west coast. This shyt is like the opposite of all the songs that ever been written bout his hometown. Makes you wanna visit that muthafukka almost. The little Roger Troutman shyt at the end was a nice touch even.

It's pretty obvious what Jay Rock meant.

i won't go through quoting everyone

but fukk anybody who still compares that work of art to LIG or F&L2

spent the past weekend with my homies bumping that album non stop and that shyt was transcendant. Every single one of us was vibing to the songs and there's moments from that weekend I'll forever associate with that album

it's beautiful MUSIC. We sure ain't chilling together listening to some boring "lyrical exercise" bullshyt like world's an addiction or w/e

grab a book if you want poems, as much as I love hip hop, it's still music and if it doesn't sound right to my ear from a MUSICAL standpoint, I can't fukk with it

I ain't heard an album in years approaching the musical harmony between the lyrics and the beats that is displayed in GKMC

THIS is what I feel has been missing in hip hop, people lately have either been dropping the dopest beat while rambling bullshyt senseless lyrics or you have the ones who pen some great bars but can't ride a proper beat to save their lives. It's like rappers get in the studio, spit the bars and put whatever beat on it.

Nas been doing this, Lupe been doing this, shyt it's been a rampant problem imo.

but this ain't the case here, and I feel that's why people are feeling this album so much. Devil's in the details and you can hear that those have been worked and reworked until EVERYTHING in the album, from skits, lyrics, beats, vocals flowed perfectly together

THIS MAN KNOWS.

I fukk with Nas and Lupe but play that sh*t to the average person and they falling asleep. (my work colleagues told me to change the disc when I played LIG to them)

Kendrick has perfect balance...everybody will fukk with this.

Transcendant is a great way to describe this album.

There was alot of shyt that dropped this year that I loved and would call it a banger. shyt that's really dope, but still just regular dope shyt. This shyt right here though is rare. As a full body of work, it just stands out as special when you allow yourself to get wrapped up in it.

I aint even been able to switch to another album just yet and I really want to check out that Rza soundtrack.

Some are pushing that this is the "ILLmatic/Ready To Die" for this generation. Maybe a little extreme but I think this does have some slight similarities to "Ready To Die" as far as Kendrick making this a storytelling type of album and using the skits to tell that story. As well as him flipping voices like Big did. Regardless I haven't been this impressed by a debut since "Food and Liquor".
