It is, in fact, a short film by Kendrick Lamar. First, his style is 'west coast' at its finest, with obvious, but not overwhelming, influence from Tupac, Eminem, Snoop, Dre, Nas.

It has an over-arching narrative throughout the entire record, never compromising the story, spit like silk I am going to go ahead and repeat what everyone else has been chanting-instant classic. I am going to go ahead and repeat what everyone else has been chanting-instant classic. The highlights of this album include 'mAAd city' and 'Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst' and the only somewhat weak song on this album is 'Real'.

Lyrics, production, story-telling, flow, ability, this album has a track for anyone. Even as a proud Kendrick Lamar diehard fan, I did not expect good kid, mAAd city to bring it to this level, this is the album of the year (sorry channel ORANGE). Kendrick Lamar had so much hype behind this album and he more than delivered, he created a masterpiece that might just be the greatest concept rap album ever. Lyrics, production, I am happy to be alive when this album came out.
