“Compton's finest offers the most comprehensive look yet at his absurd raw talent”
“Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city is fearless and brilliant, an unvarnished and nuanced peek into the rapper's inner life that ties straightforward rap thrills directly to its narrative.”
“With good kid, m.A.A.d. city, Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar drops what's easily hip hop's most cinematic album of 2012.”
“The title "Next Big Rapper" has been a curse as often as a blessing. But on the major-label debut by Dr. Dre protégé Kendrick Lamar, the Compton, California, MC wears it lightly, like a favorite hoodie. The album opens as if in midsentence, in brisk conversational mode – "I met her at the house party […]”
“Kendrick best album in my opinion.Insane album, storytelling, writing, production, features, everything is top notch on this album. Has so many classic songs on the album too with easily the best song and performance from Kendrick coming from “Sing About Me I’m Dying Of Thirst” Top songs on the album are: ‘Sherane a.k.a Master Splinters Daughter’ ‘Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe’ ‘The Art Of Peer Pressure’ ‘Money Trees’ ft Jay Rock ‘Poetic Justice’ ft Drake ‘m.A.A.d city’ ft MC Eiht ‘Swimming Pools (Drank)’ ‘Sing About Me, I’m Dying Of Thirst’”
“Amazing album, however I do think it is overrated. Great storytelling and lyricism and some good songs to match, but the actual music is not all that to be called the best rap album of all time. Very good album but not best ever good.”
“This album is nothing short of amazing. i love every single song here, if i had to pick a least favorite itd probably be Poetic Justice. It also holds my favorite kendrick song: good kid.”
“I tried to find sum wrong with it but I literally can’t even the 11 minute long song was still great like this is an incredible album”
“Couple duds like “real” but it’s obviously a classic. Had the CD in my car in high school and probably listened 500 times”
“One of my favorites of all time, I grew up with more than half of the songs so I could be a little biased.”
“what an amazing Kendrick project. it’s one of his top 3 albums but sadly 2 others SLIGHTLY beat it”
“Best rap album of all time. Last two songs, although not bad, can’t make me put it at 10.”
