Section.80 [Explicit]

At first I REALLY did not like Kendrick Lamar. I listened to ADHD and Rigamortus, and I did not like either song, so I just blew him off when people told me to listen to him. Well, that was probably one of the stupidest things I have ever done. Because I finished and bought the album a few days ago, and it is probably one of my favorites now. ADHD and Rigamortus were probably my least favorite songs from the album, but as a whole the album is great and I was amazed after I listened to the whole thing.

The thing that makes this album so great is because it is one of those albums that is what hip hop is all about. Nowadays you see rappers rapping about stuff like cars, women, drugs, and that's literally ALL they talk about. Rap music has become so stale recently, but it's albums like this that are keeping it alive. I love this album because it sends positive messages to people as opposed to talking about the stupid stuff I mentioned earlier. Kendrick is one of those unique artists that is able to talk to the people and send a message about society in his raps.

In this album most of the songs are fantastic lyrically and Kendrick always has a great flow. There are a few songs that I didn't like such as The Spiteful Chant and Rigamortus, but outside of a few the album is great as a whole. There are songs like F*** Your Ethnicity where he talks about racism, Keisha's song where he talks about awful career choices made by a woman, Hiiipower where he encourages the public to join a movement, ADHD where he talks about problems with drug abuse in today's society, etc. Almost every song on this album sends a message to people about society and that's what I feel is most important in rap: sending a message and telling a story.

This album is really cheap on Amazon and well worth it for what you're getting. If you like rap, chances are you will like this album but definitely give it a listen before buying it because I could understand why people who are rap fans wouldn't like him. But the bottom line is, if you have the 5 bucks, definitely get this because it's a fantastic album that will not disappoint.

Memorable songs from album: Hiiipower, Keisha's Song, No Make Up, ADHD

Section 80 is a great album as always, but I was sort of skeptical on buying this because there are no images, reviews, or any info on the particular vinyl record.

I went ahead and purchased it anyway and it came in with no damage, the sleeve is top quality and It's authentic TDE vinyl. Sounds great as well. Go ahead and pick this up.

First and foremost, hat's off to Kendrick Lamar! Man, where did you come from main?! You are my new favorite rapper dude, for real...
Ok, so I just bought this on amazon mp3 status, about $4! I feel kinda bad, it's soooo good I would've bought it for more! So I'm just listening to all the songs as I right this... (Chapter 6, AWESOME cause you just gotta listen to it.)
My fav song right now is Poe mans dream, chapter 6, Hol'up, ADHD, and counting!

You like hip hop? You like music? You like stuff that ain't on the radio and it's so great that you're happy you're the only one who has it first out of your group of peeps? THEN THIS IS THE TICKET.

I first heard Kendrick on Jay Rock's Follow me home album from STRRAAAAANGE music... Shot out to tech n9ne for sho do...
Kendrick is tight, and he's gonna get better. He's young, ambitious, and hungry. That stirs up for great music. And he delivered for sure...

Then kendrick showed up on Game's RED album, which is also sicker than sick, and Kendrick killed it on the city... And I had the pleasure of watching him perform live onstage with GAME at the KDAY fresh fest this past saturday! Dude killed it! My Goodness, I can't contain myself~ HAHAHAHAHA!

So now I stumbled upon this album while looking at evidence's cats and dogs, and damn, I am soooo happy I found this! I LOVE IT in a non 'you know what' kinda way. Inspiring, motivating, and relaxing all in one and then some... not alot of people can do that... I'll play this out for sure...

Thanks for reading, please get it and support the most awesomest new artist from WEST COAST!

Lamar is going places. I cannot speak much for the lyricism - I listen to music for the sound, and the lyrics are more incidental to me - but if he maintains this aural excellence he will go down in history as one of the best. Few hip-hop artist are capable of following a potential borderline classic album with an undeniably classic album. For whatever reason, this album is not more recognised even after good kid, m.a.a.d. city. The price is good; enjoy the continued relative unawareness while you still can.

Kendrick is climbing. In "Section 80" Kendrick tells a story with the power of a young Nas and in the effortless flow of Tupac. There have been many comparisons to these artists in critical reviews, but it is impossible to ignore. In a way, it feels like he is still trying to find his true voice and has chosen to pay tribute to the flows and styles of Rap's greats on his journey there. From the start, he sets the tone with "F- your Ethnicity" - a recurring theme from even the "Overly Dedicated" tracks - "I don't do black music. I don't do white music. I do everyday life music." He is an Average Joe telling the stories of our time, from "ADHD"'s drug use, to "Hol Up"'s exuberance, down to the petty bravado of "Spiteful Chant" - they're delivered through a detached and observant lens that hint Kendrick has much more in store. Like Pac, it takes a special talent to address these themes, tell these stories, and keep the audience expectation one level higher with each album. If "The Recipe" is any indication, we won't be disappointed.

Thanks for making my favorite album of 2011.
