Kendrick Lamar - Average Joe

[AJtheOne]

one of Kendrick's best tracks, from the lyrics to the beat

I don't like OD as much as Section 80 and GKMC but it has 2 of my fav Kendrick songs ever on there, Average Joe and The Heart pt2

 

[AJtheOne]

I love the 2nd verse on this

I was walking from Centennial
When an unidentified vehicle rolled up, and I was like hol' up
Where you from? "I don't bang"
Where you stay? "Westside", that's a Piru gang to be exact
Well aware they had blue across they hat
Dropped backpack and ran inside of the cul-de-sac
Shots rang out, hoping to God I wasn't wet
Crossed to cross Rosecrans and ran inside of the yet
Chirped the homies on the I-95, they said they already knew
What happened, and meet 'em outside the garage
Never seen that many guns in my life
I was paranoid like a fiend in the night, but needed revenge
Grabbed the nine-ball, opened up the door, then got in
Somebody said fall back, we gon' make these nikkas suffer
You my brother like a frat, and that's just to remind you
Thought about that so long I had failed my finals, fukk, but

the president of TDE, Punch, said that this song one of the original concepts for GKMC I can def see that

 

[AJtheOne]

Who is K. Dot? A young nikka from Compton
On the curb writing raps next to a gun shot
On the corners where the gangsters and the killers dwell
The fraudulent tender scars that get unveiled
Everyone I knew was either crip or piru
Cousins in elementary, relatives in high school
With that being said, each one of their rivals
Was aiming something at my head, I needed survival
Got jumped, got jacked, shot at, shot back
And I don't even push a line, I'm just tryna push these rhymes
In the midst of staying neutral and discrete
My momma said you're judged by the company you keep
But what you can consider, that if it goes down
They'll kill you if you kill me, it gets deep nikka
So if you ask what I'm doing
I'm tryna duck the influence of my city that's brewing, real talk, and

 

[AJtheOne]

Bernie Mac died, it's no joke
Don't ask why if you don't know about these killers and thieves
Seven grams of weed, you smoke that, but I'm high off life
I could fall out the sky like twice
And land in the land of the AKs
And the minivans where the fan never on
Cause it's hotter than a lunatic's underarms in a straitjacket
In other words, we get it cracking, but I keep it cool, you know?

[ManxOfxThexYear]

[AJtheOne]

And this is why they fukk with me

I'm no gangsta, no killa, I'm just your Average Joe

OD is his best project

objectivly speaking, OD is his third best projezct. GKCM is widely praised as the 2nd best hip hop album of the last 5 years after MBDTF. and tbh, its well deserved.


GKMC >>>> s80 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OD

Yeah I don't give a fukk what these magazines have to say, GKMC had a machine behind it. I was rocking with Kendrick since he was doing shyt like Empire State of Mind covers. OD is his best project.

Ignorance Is Bliss is better than anything on GKMC.
