i might be inclined to agree with your review. i will say this, in this era of trash hop its an easy XXL. being a 90's rapper lover. its a XL. but he's definitely heading into "classic" territory. but i also think like you said, dre must have put this album together for him. it smells like dre down to the interlude placement and how clean and seamless it was.

Poor mans Johnny Football Lifestyle!
Damn right about the sequencing......everything was perfectly placed. Even the bonus tracks are up to par with the rest of the album.

this is what millions of dollars of marketing can do for you
yea, like with Rick Ross's last album
Its 2012. We're in the internet era and the peak of the social network generation. For this reason, some are going to overrate GKMC by pretending hip hop has no other classics, and most are going to never give it the props it deserves because they feel as if classic is sacred yet don't understand this is exactly how a Nas or Wu Tang release would have been treated in this era.
album has been out what a week and people are attaching the classic title to it?

Havent heard the album. However kendrick's money influenced buzz >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> his real buzz amongst the street word to mouth etc.
What i dont like about j.cole,drake,k dot and recent others is that when i 1st start hearing about accolades and supposed greatness it was via,award shows,tv personalities that i'm very confident were paid off and people of that world. I'm 33 and i've bared witness to artists who didnt have a major industry push,yet were being talked about heavily by people despite and had very popular music on a street level.
i'm not impressed. i remember when brother lynch dropped season of da siccness and EVERYONE was talkin bout "it's ebk everyday all day to the day i die,i'm creepin through ya hood....." I'm in cinci,dude is west coast but every whip had this shyt bumpin despite zero/very limited radio play/video play nationally.
I expect young nikkas to be impressed but i'm not. I've seen too much. I havent heard his full catalog,but i've heard songs. He can rap good. But i dont believe him. The songs are not convincing to me like a pac,cube,nas,eminem,P.E., Face and geto boys,paris,dmx.
Just havent heard anything powerful. Send me a youtube link if you're a fan and think i missed something.
