’11 Best Albums: #6 Kendrick Lamar Section .80

Dr. Dre co-signs don’t come everyday. So when Kendrick Lamar released his independent album Section.80, best believe, all eyes were on him. Fortunately, he didn’t disappoint. From a production standpoint, scattered pianos anchor “Fuck Your Ethnicity” while lounging horns permeate “Hol’ Up”.  Elsewhere, “Chapter Six” and “Rigamortis” locks down K-Dot’s unchained melody. “Ronald Regan Era” made being an 80’s baby not so bad. Kendrick said Section .80 was created following a vision from 2Pac, so Afeni’s baby boy would be proud of “Kiesha’s Song” (“She start running like FLo-Jo/ Don’t care if they Joe Blow/ If they got money to blow a blow job is a sure go.”). Make no mistake, this revolutionary MC will be televised. Welcome to Section.80.

  15. NoSoup4Yu says:

    its supposed to be…
    1. WTT
    2. S80
    3. Take Care
    4. ColeWorld

    I like MMG, but Self Made was not better than any of those 4

  16. Yung Silv says:

    this should have been #3 and is much better than bad meets evil

  17. G-Cass says:

    This is #1 album of the year but we’re also watching the list of a commercial rap blog so we have to accept Take Care, WTT and MMG before anything.

  18. AO says:

    Personally, my # 1 album of last year…

  19. Brown Jesus says:

    West Coast Bias!

  20. Word says:

    Come on RR. I understand yalong can’t put less popular albums on top 5 but yall coulda made an exception for Cole and Kendrick these albums were top 5! But y’all wanna put Em Ross Jay up there when theyre albums weren’t better than Coles and Kendrick.

    You wanna talk sales? Cole shitted on mmg album. I swear if that shit is top 5 imma go off cuz it was dope but not better than any album y’all posted so far except maybe Mac Millers shit.

  21. JohnB says:

    Personally it was top 3, the guy’s young and wise beyond his age…It is rare these days to walk in the shoes of the ghetto poet (Nas, Pac…) and K. does it very well.
    A star to follow….

  22. Shady_Site says:

    KENDRICK lyrically and flow wise FUCK yo fav rappers asshole!! WAY better then MMG FUCK YOU SITE

  23. M.T says:

    lol once again yall tripping. This album is too good to be #6.

  24. Fred says:

    This blog is officially a joke by putting this at # 6.

  25. Bridman says:

    How this didn’t make the top three is beyond me….Self Made above this? Smh

  26. lololminny says:

    #6? Thats Disgustin & Insultin’…He Clearly Has The #1 Album Without Radio Play.

  29. waloo says:

    Kendrick lamars music could be so much more appealing if he didnt have such a boring voice. I agree…he has amazing lyrics and i heard his album plenty of times. Just gets kind of boring. This dude and Nas should make several tracks together. East and west. That versethat Nas has on rick ross’ mixtape is fucking RAW! Just sayin
