Some of the best hip-hop released in the past decade.
Kendrick Lamar - “Money Trees” (good kid, m.A.A.d city, 2012)
How could I not talk about the most important rapper right now?
Yeah. This is stuff that appeals to all sorts of hip-hop and music fans in general. Most people have heard of Kendrick Lamar, or at least heard Kendrick. And for good reason, it's really well done music. You don't need me to tell you that Kendrick is good.
I'll tell you why I like him though. Everything this guys puts his name on is incredibly fresh and lasting. Each of his main releases have been phenomenal, and definitely up there with the best albums of their respective years. good kid has this narrative that ties everything together, not to mention the atmosphere created throughout. I've always thought of it as an eerily dark album for what it was, almost cold in a sense with the subject matter. It isn't typical hip-hop, but it still has mass appeal. It's a sensation. m.A.A.d city. What a story.
