And yes, Good kid was the best album of 2012, one of the best of all time tbh
it was clearly the best album, lol.

Good kid maad city shits on eveyrthing, best album since the college drop out (2004)
@Leon the sad part of it, is it’s one person posting all..-___-the classic shit..and decade replys wow
yeah, not a fan but good kid maad city is a classic
*life* and JP
I prefer Drake but good kid maad city was fantastic.
I would say it’s the best album of the year and the second best album of the decade behind my beautiful dark twisted fantasy
Life is good was pretty good but good kid m.A.A.D. City was on all another level.
9.5/10 album
Life is good is a solid 8
WORST ALBUM OF THE DECADE…………..BY FAR
it was my favorite album too
He is a little bit overrated but he dropped the best album of the year without a doubt !
solid album from kendrick, probably one of the best hip hop albums.
It really deserves its status of isntant classic
It’s one person LOL “im not a fan but gkmc was the best” <—nigga you one fan that keeps posting like your other people loser as nigga we dont belive U
kendrick was the only one to bring real hip hop back with good kid
people need to stop overrating him but I agree though, he really dropped one of the best albums in recent years
lol don’t eat the trolls guys, of course gkmc is a classic !
Kendrick esco Game kanye and fif had the best albums of the decade real hiphop leeeggooo
great album yep
WOW slow day huh
So…..Mediocre is good now??
dope performance, he is really on the top of the world right now
!STANS! ALBUM IS HOT TRASH JUICE HAHA
it was the best album I have heard since 2010. You can easily see the evolution of story telling with this album
Classic trash
Kendrick Lamar was poised to have a memorable 2012. Even without major distribution or a single to increase exposure, his 2011 indie release, Section.80, landed on year-end
Keel calm guys, yes it was the best album, yes you guys are talking shit, yes it was one of the best albums of the west coast
He changed the game with his album and now, expectations for hip hop albums ahve become wayyy greater since good kid dropped.
Kendrick is carrying the west coast on his back to be fully honest
He had the album of the year and I have a feeling that 2013 is going to be his year too !
he is definitely going platinum with this classic
it’s not a classic, not yet, right now it’s a great album, probably the best album we have heard in recent time.
It has to pass the test of time and then, it will be a classic.
Stars already talk about it as a classic because the quality of the album is just amazing but we have to wait before giving the real status of classic to this album
Ok?^
hmmm, yeah we have to wait but it was definitely the most cohesive hip hop albums of 2010 2011 and 2012.
MBDTF from kanye was a classic too
Yeah…not even a good album let keep it 100 good rapper trash album
he deserves all the hype, his album = some kind of elevated rap
there are some trolls here but some people just feel insecure about their favorite rapper because the whole industry is talking about kendrick as the new GOAT
as for Good kid maad city, it was a solid album, one of the best I have heard
10/10 album
Dude sucks to a lot of folks….
His album takes me somewhere else
It’s up there with illmatic, TMMLP and ready to die
KIIIING KENDRICK LAMAR
stop talking about this album as one of the best albums, it’s THE BEST album
He is overrated but it doesn’t mean he isn’t the king.
Tupac was overrated but absolutely amazing, kendrick is the same.
By the way, Good kid maad city was the album of the year
I love him, it was a good performance but SNL was better imo.
#gkmc-best-album-of-2012
5/10 beats sucked ass
one of the most impressive albums
It was extremely well produces, well written, lyrics are perfect, wow it blew my mind
this man only makes classic albums tbh
This will be a timeless? album for sure, hip hop is now looking better
Wow that is some good? shit
kendrick sellin out? but he is the best right now.
Good kid maad city is amazing !
There’s 1stan goin HAM on here posted like 80 comments wow
good kid m.A.A.d. city is the most important album in music history since the white album. rap has finally found a meaning with kendrick lamar
the most important debut since Get Rich or Die Tryin’ or College Dropout
I hate when people get overly excited about a new album and claim dumb sh**.
GKMC was the best album of 2012 but slow down please, let the album live !
Either Kendrick or pac is the king
Kendrick Won with his west coast illmatic
Gkmc is NOT classic YET but a great album.
Time will tell if it’s another The Chronic but kendrick is on his way to change hip hop so yes
lol at some of you guys..its one of the best storytelling..cohesive albums in the modern era
this is a classic but media tryin their best lol
good kid maad city is an exceptional album and in due time will get the recognition of a classic
inb4Stanley’sHurtfeelings
Wow you need meds^ have you ran out of names yet?
Btw illmatic is not as great as people make it to be, Good kid maad city is a little bit better than that tbh
Cole was an absolute disappointment. Kendrick’s album and lyricism is better by miles.
i like the deluxe tracks more than the standard smh but GKMC is definitely the best album I have heard since GRODT
Hot Trash haha niggas got me dying
A true masterpiece, poetic jsutice is perfect too
so many trolls here

Wasn’t like Get rich..or The Doc.. But it was a good album not classic tho
Kendrick could rap
Kendrick is not a legend.He is overrated as fuck by his dickriding fans.
He is not a legend either,not saying he wont be but you aint a legend with 1 good album.Takes alot more than that.
His album was good,nothing more.
@evil..cosign
dann yall really do dick ride best ever? nope, best alive? nope, top 10 yes but not dead or alive
Let’s shout out that saxophone player one time
[…] Link: Kendrick Lamar
Killed it damn he’s sick
@Lover of music
The Sax player is Terrace Martin. He’s an artist and produced “I’m Real.”
sweet performance. very well done. Even letterman was like WOW. i can wish only the best for Kendric. guy is making quality hip hop.
best album of the year
when I listen to it, it was more than music, it was a story of a person just like me with dreams, fear, dangers, trouble, happiness, adolescence and maturity. He stayed true to his roots he kept it original but different. God bless Kendrick Lamar and hip hop.
Good god, I havent heard an album like this in a GOOD minute. I will actually purchase this rather than download it. If hip hop artist pumped out more stuff like this, labels could move units like it was ’98.
classic album! THIS IS HIP-HOP, play your rap somewhere else
One of the best Album I ever heard!! Point Blank!!
Good Kid M.A.A.d city one word. Outstanding. Masterfully put together, tight flows, manner of delivery of sometimes morbid content done in a socially acceptable manner, this album appeals to not only dedicated hip-hop fans but also the passive ‘hip-pop’ chart listeners. It is evident this album is meant to be the gate-way drug if you will to the world of alternative hip-hop music (You know, the plethora of hip-hop music hardly recognised by anyone outside of the Youtube community) with tracks such as ‘Swimming Pools’ and ‘the recipe’ speaking to the apathetic weed smoking indie/ hipster/ neo-hippy playstation generation and for the time being It would be hard to refute the claim that Lamar is primarily an alternative hip-hop artist. Akin to what is expected of A$AP Rocky’s impending debut, the overall sound of this album is so different to what has came before. Take for example ‘Sing about me’ and its smooth jazz like sound or ‘Sherane’ which can only be described as possessing a strange alien undertone. It reminds me of the progressive rock music of the seventies, Could Lamar be to Alt Rap what Pink Floyd was to Prog Rock? Only time will tell but the cynic in me is screaming that this may be the prerequisite to another rapper turned chart mule i.e making alot of noise to get attention and then being obedient to the time tested formula of making a shit load of money as we have seen so many times before. However, I would leave this notion to pure speculation for the time being as what Lamar seems to be doing and what GKMC is representing is nothing less than the progression of rap music and I am excited at the possibility of what this could mean.
This is hip-hop and this is a major step forward in bringing it back to the forefront of “mainstream” music.
This album is ahead of its time. Perfection from start to finish.
The best hip-hop debut since Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor.
This Album is fuc’n AWESOME!!
This deserves every bit of this rating. This shit is a CLASSIC.
Pac died at 25. Kendrick starts to carry the throne at 25 should be some good years to come
This album will go down as one of the best albums of all time for any genre just like Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Ready to Die and the other rap albums that are considered the best of all time. When those albums came out we didn’t understand how great they because were very young at the time. Now we have a chance to witness a classic and a legend in the making. The storytelling is amazing. It’s like a movie. You can’t just listen to a couple of songs or skip through. You have to listen straight through from beginning to end.
*a star is born*
From us to the whole RR Staff! It’s King kendrick Ya Bish!!!!
