Kendrick Lamar's top 25 albums

[Ineedmoney504]

My nikka said chopper city in the ghetto, one of the greatest albums ever

 

[Insensitive]

Damn at all that west coast
I got most of them on the Hard drive too

 

[ROFL_GUY]

no outkast in his top 25

 

[wire28]

first time in a while i seen one of these things where the rapper didnt go hipster/cac and randomly list some grunge rock album or something

 

[ExodusNirvana]

LOL a lot of the shyt he said is shyt that I felt at the time. Like when he said he saw the Grindin video for the first time and was like "WTF IS THIS " that's the same shyt I said the first time I saw it on MTV

Also he referenced The Box (music television YOU control...) and that's how I got into a lot of West Coast music at the time because the East was'nt really on it like that.

The best part is I have just about all those albums...like 20 out of 25 of em

 

[Black Ball]

I like that his list is personal to him. Not no generic shyt everybody say.

This is a list of his 25 "Favorite" albums. Also there is no order to the list.

If you read the descriptions, most of these albums are the shyt that got the most play when he was growing up, this aint a critical review of every hip hop album ever made.

My top 25 Favorite would look alot different than if I was trying to name the best 25 Albums I've ever heard.

3 DJ Quik albums

my nikka Quik getting the respect he deserves

 

[Megatron Island]

Yeah, I don't remember the last time I heard a song from Illmatic on any of the main radio stations here in Los Angeles after 1999. If I heard anything on the radio it was this year on a small station if I remember right.

Some LA heads confirm, when was the last time an Illmatic song was played? How about something featuring Wu Tang?

If anything, I'm surprised no mention of Outkast since you do hear it here often.

[SubLyminalz]

To be fair, most people that aren't on the East Coast dont give a shyt about that album.

 

[DaveyDave]

no outkast in his top 25

he likes DJ Quik & early Cash Money more than Kast i guess. i don't see a problem with that
