On the cover of the album he is sitting on the lap of his uncle, next to his grandfather and another uncle. All have black bars in front of the eyes, but he sees the world through the eyes of an innocent being. Last year he released a mixtape Section.80, which should catapult him to higher spheres final. Took him by Dr.Dre Aftermath under contract and beat him together with Snoop Dogg and Game on a joint tour knighted. Kendrick Lamar is the New King of the West Coast, the flame was officially handed over. But who now believed Lamar would a soaked in blood and Blunts Hammer as once up Game or 50 cents raushauen who very much off the mark.
To Album:
Good Kid, Maad City describes in a short film the lives of Kendrick Lamar, born and raised in Compton, LA. It sounds more than Section.80, it has a different, a deeper vibe and sense. Since early childhood he has tried to escape the negative influences, which swept through the streets. While his pals indulged pills, alcohol and cocaine, he tried to escape into another world. He describes with fantastic storytelling and a lot of intelligence to the smallest detail, what it was like. Maad stands for My Angry Adolescence Divided or My Angel's on Angel Dust. The good child and the bad city, how would that work? While he was traveling with his mother in Van, sent him his girlfriend titty shots on his mobile phone. That was probably the most innocent, what happened to him, around him did not seem to be normal and harmless. His songs act thoughtfully, and the track Poetic Justice, which includes a sample of Janet Jackson and Drake featured shouting, formally for freedom. Many songs sound beating from her in the same notch, here and there even be heard out jazz influences. Kendrick seems in search of security, he would much prefer to chill out comfortably in the Backyard instead in every day life, on the street to sink. He repeatedly describes his struggle, trying to stay clean. This is then also the best song on the good over Kid, in which he establishes steep curves to possible sources of danger and tried to get on the straight way to the finish. Immediately afterwards then all about noise, drugs and finger on the trigger of the AK47. Kendrick sounds for the first time really aggressive and angry, then takes over in the middle of the song the West Coast legend MC Eiht the command and tried to dissuade the Lamar Street Life. Dull Drums and bass illustrate the harsh and hard life in the dark alleys of the metropolis - strong track!
Kendrick Lamar supplies, and that proves Swimming Pools (Drank), a decent package, often changes his rap style and shows beside a grandiose flow in addition excellent vocal qualities. The sentiments which have been hammered by the producer Hit-Boy, Scoop DeVille, Pharell and his homie Sounwave among others in the board reflect the whole drama of his life simply contradict unique. At the end of the standard version of the album finally released a sign of life from the mentor Dr.Dre, Just Blaze leaves here with the use of the vocal Intruder again right California Love revive and perhaps makes even a small clenched fist in his pocket. The Deluxe version (CD) still pushes us three additional Bänger from the speakers. The Receipe with an extremely good-humored doctor, and Mary J.Blige supplies to Now or Never the right energy boost to get started with Kendrick in a happy and hopefully non-violent future.
The album you should definitely listen to everything several times to pick up what Kendrick Lamar wants to convey here. Anyone who grew up with NWA and the history of the Left Coast rap and has followed the career of Dr. Dre, who will note: Here is a new star was born, a poet of further carries the torch and Compton times illuminated from another side. One of the best rap albums of the last decade!
