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

[Trace]

Album is 10 years old today. I remember going to Target to pick this up after hearing the leak from this very thread.

Big Business used to come through with those links back then

Same here, went to target as well.

Remember hearing this for the first time thinking, “damn, this kid just released something better than Life is Good.”

10 years, wow.

Classic album. Remember I was in my first year of university listening to Money Trees during a lecture with one headphone in. The fact that this was a decade ago is crazy.

Gonna run this back later.

 

[DAT NICCA KELSO]

Blassic album.

 

[Metal Face]

greatest album of all time

 

[Mega]

Can’t believe it’s been 10 years already.

Still sounds good as the first day I played it.

Certified Classic.

 

[GeeEffKay]

Special album. We had a taste of greatness with section 80 but GKMC was the true start of something special. A legend was born

Listening back to this, takes me right back to 2012. Fresh out of college, interning for no money at a PR firm.

First time I heard Swimming Pools in public was Sept 2012 at Magic City

 

[Illmagic]

Undeniable classic. Still my Fav Kendrick album and absolutely in my top 25 albums

 

[Gorilla Pimp]

I remember the weekend it dropped, me and my bro were talking about how Kendrick managed to meet the heavy expectations set out for him. Kudos to kdot, the album has stood the test of time.

I remember reading in this thread nobody would care about this album 5 years after it dropped (you know who you are)





Also, still on the Billboard200 over 10 years after release!

 

[Piff Perkins]

All four of Kendrick's albums are on the Billboard 200 this week.

#30 GKMC. 531 weeks consecutive
#50 Mr Morale. 33 weeks consecutive
#84 DAMN. 298 weeks consecutive
#190 TPAB. Re-entry. 136 non-consecutive

This album aged HORRIBLY. Throw this shyt on now and try to let it rock all the way through, I dare you
