Kendrick Lamar-good kid, m.A.A.d city-2012 (CLASSIC)

[Ashtrey]

True classic. Impact already being seen in Hip Hop due to artists using skits on their upcoming albums and Game even trying to make a concept album now with a religious theme and also a similar album cover.

Anyone else notice this is the first album to have songs get radioplay that aren't even or haven't been released as singles yet. The only time I remember that happening was back in the mid 90's with pac's shyt and a few other artists.

I'm not saying there isn't some behind the scenes push by "the machine" but then there's been other artists that have been on major labels too.

charts don't only count radioplay, but number of singles purchased

there's a good chance none of those songs were ever played on the radio.

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_swift_discography#Other_charted_songs this is a better example

because of itunes/amazon allowing you to buy single songs

high sales = high single sales the first week

That Happened with GRODT, random album cuts was getting radio play.

This album gets better and better in my opinion. Parts are referenced and re-referenced throughout. Like a book. Only misstep for me is backseat freestyle. Conceptually it fits but it's just not such a great song. Money trees is the best hip hop song I've heard in a long time. Overall he elevated what a hip hop album could be. Definition of a classic.

What a good year for hip hop. Just when you thought it was stale you got killer mike giving you and old school album with new beats, nas giving you some heartfelt grown man shyt and Kendrick upping the bar. And that's just the best three albums. Haven't has a run like this for a while.

I know for a fact I've heard money trees, bytch don't kill my vibe and poetic justice (before it's released as a single) on the radio

Everyone I've played money trees too loves that song including chicks that only listen to the radio. They need to make that a single.

Not that I respect the source, but did they rate it yet? Wondering what they gave it.
