Still, when he realizes that hero Jeezy must have risen above the game - because the real playas are damned and never show their faces - it spawns a kind of elevated gangsta rap that's as pimp-connectable as the most vicious Eazy-E, and yet poignant enough to blow the dust off any cracked soul. was the home team, but as the truly beautiful, steeped-in-soul, biographic key track "The Art of Peer Pressure" finds a reluctant young Kendrick and his friends feeding off the life-force of Young Jeezy's debut album, it's something Clash, Public Enemy, and all other rebel music fans can relate to. He's shamelessly bold about the allure of the trap, contrasting the sickness of his city with the universal feeling of getting homesick, and carrying a Springsteen-sized love for the home team. It is what makes this kid so "good" as he navigates his "mad" city (Compton) with experience and wisdom beyond his years (25). Here, Kendrick is living his life like status and cash were extra credit. Dre, and MC Eiht) and attractive production (from Pharrell, Just Blaze, Tabu, and others).

A series of killer mixtapes displayed his talent for thought-provoking street lyrics delivered with an attention-grabbing flow, and then there was his membership in the Black Hippy crew with his brethren Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, and Jay Rock all issuing solo releases that pleased the "true hip-hop" set, setting the stage for a massive fourth and final. However, excluding this, the album is a true masterpiece but just misses its mark that would make it perfect in what its trying to achieve.Hip-hop debuts don't come much more "highly anticipated" than Kendrick Lamar's. Overall this album is unreal and only dips in quality towards the end with Compton and Real which aren't inherently bad songs but in my opinion changes the sound of the ablum which although this is relevant to the story as it shows Kendrick is breaking from the gang life doesn't feel as inspired as the rest of the album. The album includes several of his best and the best songs in hip-hop such as: m.A.A.d city, Swimming Pools, Money Trees and Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst which is is a powerful almost 12 minute song about a friend named Dave and his brother who died before this very album dropped. Kendrick flows so well over a mixed choice of sinister beats telling these stories and using recorded phone call to maintain the structure and add depth to the story he is telling. He documents the effects that peer pressure and alcohol had on choices despite consciously knowing its wrong. The project explores how Kendrick was a kid with good intentions dragged into gang related activities and drugs due to the culture surrounding the city he lived in.
