Kendrick Lamar’s debut album, “good kid, m.A.A.d city,” has been getting rave reviews. While Shyne seems to think it is trash, some people are calling it a classic. What are your thoughts on the album?
For those that heard Shyne’s debut album, doesn’t it compete with Kendricks?
shyne is trash fuccn succa . k.dots album is an instant classic that real niggas relate to I’m glad dre and the powers to be at interscope let him do him without trying to make him put out certain type of records sing about me classic dying of thirst classic k.dot brought bacc the art of story telling. album of the year
man fuck what shyne is talking about. kendricks album is straight dope. listen to it from beginning to end & dont skip shit. if you dont think that album is ATLEAST good, go suck a dick.
Shyne sound like a supa hater. His mix tape was trash. That nigga talkin out of his ass, he is begging for attention
Yo you niggas need to listen to the shit he raps about, its bunk. The beats could have been better too. I’ve been a huge fan of Kendrick and honestly, this album shoulda been a mixtape cuz it doesn’t represent Kendricks style at all. Theres a couple good songs but overall, thumbs down.
Lamar rap to fast i dont fuck wit his music
Yo Nigel,
I know that we are all 21st century, low attention-span, ADHD, internet-porn-crazy iPod babies now…but can we at least have have 24 hours to digest this album before we ask if it lives up to the hype? Fucksake, I haven’t even had the chance to spin it twice and have it sink in, let alone time to ask whether it lives up to the hype.
hell yea fuck shyne in the shit he talking about kendrick do yo thing best album of the year well into meek mill drop his shit
but like i said fuck shyne hatering ass lol
Tell me 1thing Kendrick raps about thats corny or whack?
lol just look at that album over im loving it
Finally a classic album. Not all this bullshit with no substance. It’s not all about bitches, money and the gaudy chains. YO! Nigel SHYNE WHO???
I agree with Shyne this album is trash Kendrick been killing the features but this album wack
SMH bro, no words just SMH
Wow brah… If this album trash, then exactly is a legit cd to you?
lol who the fuck is shyne to diss anyones album? wheres your album shyne? wheres your singles? OH WAIT YOU GOT NONE
This is a instant classic
1st he only has 4 features (un heard of )
2nd very creative ( i didnt like it until the 2nd listen with the beat headphones on , got whole different feel). if u listen to it all the way thru each skit and song intertwine with the concept of the album (short film)
3rd he has a plot to every rhyme not just bently, maybach, rolex, abunch of shit that dont mean nothin once purchased (decrease in value NIGGA SHYT)
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop hatin on My Nigga Let The California Nigga Shyne..We always get hated on
the same niggaz thinking gkmc is what is the same niggaz saying 2 chainz should have album of the year lmpbao #bitch dant killed my vibe
Got da album. Didn’t listen all da way through yet but tracks I’ve heard r dope & tell stories! I’m sure da whole album cray, he just got haters!!!!…not gon lie I’m ready for meek millz & #1 Kid Cudi
Album went beyond the hype. It’s dope but I still like Section .80 better.
Shyne is the last person to talk about who’s stuff is trash. This man ain’t had a hit since when again? That track with Ashanti way back in the day?
GKMC is definitely a classic for me. K.Dot is putting the West coast on his back. The only reason I know who Shyne is, is because I’ve heard about him being in jail and beefing with Puff.
shyne just need to shut the fuck up
Good Kid, Maad City album is a classic. So Shyne has put out an album better than Good Kid, Maad City??? I actually listened to Shyne’s “Gangland” mixtape and didn’t download it for free, but I bought Good Kid Maad City.
How bout we compare it to shyne last few garbage ass tracks he recently dropped…niggas gon hate
If Kendrick was from NY, Shyne would considering GKMC a classic too.
I love it.
Shyne has lost his credibility and will talk shit about any one he can just to try and get it back! He should just give up he’s a has been!
Tell Shyne to go spin a dreidel and shut the fuck up. K-Dot’s album is a certified CLASSIC!!!
since when what shyne thinks matters? nobody cares about dude’s opinion he’s a hater, only way for him to be reminded is to talk shit on the greatest rappers out right now. shut the hell up shyne damn it
I dont think this album good kid maad city will top section 80 mixtape but its a great album great concept remember hes rapping about back in the day and im feelin this album because me being from L.A it brings back memories!! I was expecting more features tho like game, ice cube and even 50cent or ice-t would have been great or eminem uhh that would have up the album sales for sure
shits trash shynes rite
I wouldn’t call it a classic but it is a solid album.
Shyne did 10 years and walked out of prison a man with his self respect….most of you writing up here do not have the integrity to walk in that mans path let alone his shoes…….
its not a classic……maybe 3.5 out of 5……maybe 4 for the whole concept, but there were too many fillers for the album to be 4 honestly……..i was pretty disappointed, im a big Kendrick fan, i was hoping for more songs like Cartoon and Cereal and what not…….still way better than anything else out right now
Shyne is just a dumbass who try to bring his buzz back by dissin’ rappers , but you cannot diss Kendrick and his album which is obviously a CLASSIC.
I like Kendrick, but that cd is trash… Shine is trash too
That nigga shyne is trash. Has he ever listened to his own trash records with his fucked up voice? He sounds like a dog with asthma
Come on man this not a classic. I think that word is being used to loosely in rap these days. If it aint a tie or as close to Blueprint then its not a classic, thats the standard. I think some of you guys need to go back and listen more. With the excepting of Kanye (maybe) nobody makes timeless music in this era no more. Its a dope album but nothing to be worshiped by .
No, Reasonable Doubt is JayZ’s classic.
Amen Dmoney.
Hands down, Album of the year! K DOT is a dying bread in the rap game. R.I.P. to the Real Artist.
dont matter what numbers kndrick do.. meek gone blow him out the water!!!
True! But not because Meek better, LORD KNOWS HE IS NO WHERE NEAR BETTER THAN K Dot. But because Meek is typical and mainstream. Every rap by Meek is the same topic, he nothing but a younger, skinnier Rick Ross.
Who the **** is SHYNE?
Excellent album though, I wouldn’t call it classic but its damn good and worth a purchase.
shyne has never put out a classic album he should be the last person calling someone trash shyne sit your wack ass down your career and time is over you are a hater and mad cause your out the game for good
Haven’t listened to too much Kendrick so I can’t comment on classic or not. He definitely can spit and I like his lil style. The constant wearing of the hoodies annoy me for some reason but that’s just me. As far as Shyne, let the man vent at the rap game if he need to. His rap career is basically done. 10 bullets is a long time to be absent and he’s a stand up dude that’s bitter. I get it. But RLTK, Shyne’s two albums were monsters so he has a little career equity in my mind. But best of luck to Kendrick because he and J Cole are the only young dudes I fux wit.
Definately hard to compete with the other Aftermath Debut albums but Kendrick as an artist is much further already then f.e. Fif was at that time.. And if Shyne would produce 10 albums his best track wouldnt even come close to the lamest KL track so wtf?!
kendrick lamar put a classic album out
I’m so sick of dumb ass shyne trying desperately to hang on to relevancy… GIVE IT UP, no one cares about you anymore, you don’t even make music, you’re a felon with an album, stop trying to start beef with anyone who ppl under the age of 30 listen to.
albulms a classic bitch..
KENDRICK LAMAR ALBUM IS A *CLASSIC* NO QUESTION. WORTH THE $12.00 ON ITUNES! FROM FRONT TO BACK IT KEEPS YOUR EARS GLUED… FOR ALL YOU GUYS THINKING OTHER WISE YOU MUST BE FANS OF 2CHAINZ AND WAKA FLOCKA.. SHIT LIKE THAT.
AND AS FOR SHYNE, YOU USE TO BE HOT BUT NOW YOU ARE A LAME I AGREED WITH YOU ON THAT RICK ROSS COMMENT BUT ABOUT KENDRICK LAMAR? CALL IT TRASH???? NAH.. THAT DONT EVEN SOUND RIGHT..
that albums wack as fuck so Shynes right. but lets be real, is he in any position to talk about anotha niggas shit being wack or dope?
album is a classic n better than section 80.
every thing on this album is damn near perfect…from the sounds, raps, storytelling, concept, ab-libs…all the way thru. album of the year.
XXL gave it 5/5 stars
SHYNE is a dick eater and a disgrace…Calling GKMC trash is like calling READY TO DIE trash or any other classic…i mean nothing about K. DOT is trash…I hate NIGGAS…I love my Black People…but this man is bitter because PUFF played him…his time has passed, and he never was talented and NEVER BEEN NICE…fuck outta here nigga…go FOCUS and Pray be happy in your JEWISH faith….K. DOT is gonna keep killing the game him and BLACK HIPPY
Haven’t listen k.dot album but he can’t tell shyne nothing .. If u come from da block you’ll understand where shyne comin from .. Shyne first album classic !! 2nd album classic !! Gangland album/mixtape is da hardest n most real shit out now !!
Yeaaa. This is not a classic. Ya’ll hear one decent album and call it classic.
yall niggas is funny yall so mad at shyne he just doing, what yall showed him yall respect. he’s a real gangsta that dont care bout busting his guns wherever he wants. he hates rick ross, and he says watever the fuck he wants on twitter and disses other rappers. he is the realest
i bet u if another nyc rapper woulda tweeted that niggas woulda agreed. shyne just copying the blueprint for wat the blogs and fickle fans love
kendrick is good, its gonna take some time for me to digest his album. gimmie a week
realtalk if an album is classic, then it is impossible to determine that in 1 fuckin day seriously
I feel like beating the shit out of Shyne …
First off I love Kendricks music and style and for him doing him ..I’m tired of the trap music there’s to much of it, to many clones. Now the Album first listen I was like it’s good but I was expecting better.. Then I listened to it again and again the shit really is a dang story and grows on you.. It’s DOPE… 1 more week in my ear and it might be a classic!!! U have to listen beginning to end no skipping tracks!!
First things first the album is a classic hands down, but ill get back to that in a sec. Second, Shyne was only hot when Thats Gangsta was out which probably half the people on this board have no idea about, so let him get his rant on but lets call it for what it is, He wants attention. Now about the album, not only are the production and lyrics on point but the story that it takes you on is almost like pulp fiction meets Boyz in the Hood. He only has 3 features, Jay Rock (Money & Trees), Mc Eight (M.A.A.D City), Dr. Dre (compton) and Drake (Poetic Justice). Featurs only account for a third of the album the rest is all him unassisted. Which even the tracks that had features, he challenged the feature artist to up their bars, no feature artist had a wack verse and Kendrick never let off the gas either. Lets just all be honest here this is one of the greatest albums, RAP ALBUMS, put together in a long time, name me one artist out right now that can match it? And for those who think Meek is going to put out something better… Yall are tripping, it might sell but a day or two after yall are going to feel the same way about it as you did God Forgives and I Dont while the rest of us will still be playing Good Kid M.A.A.D City years down the line.
*You cant lie and say that drake was clutch on Poetic Justice it brought the right feel to that song
AMEN! Let’s be clear GFID was hot trash! Ross nowadays is HOT TRASH!Moving along… Not only did KDot have only 4 features but all of the singles that dropped months b4 album came out were all bonus tracks… they didn’t even count toward the main story of the album. AMAZING! On the other hand, take Cruel Summer, we waited for ages for that joint, not bad, but out of 12 cuts 7 were on the streets 5-8 months before it came out so in reality we paid for 5 new songs, that is bad business.
Good album, but I don’t about a classic. Give it a couple of years and we’ll see.
I Dont Understand How People Can Call This Album Trash, I Mean Like How?? HOW THE FUCK IS THAT TRASH?? It Dont Get No Realer Than This Album, I Havent Heard a album In The Past Few Years Thats Fucking With Dood Kid Maad City. Every Song Is Hard And It tells a Story About his life at the same time, And Its All In Sync With Each Other. Like What More Do You Want??
Good Kid Maad City* Excuse me
And Stop Saying Albums Aint Classics And Comparing It To Reasonable Doubt, All Jay Did was Rap About His Life Growing Up To Get To Where He IS Now. Nas Too On Illmatic.. So What The Fuck Did Kendrick Do Different On This?? He Told His Story Also, And Made It Like A Movie. You Paint The Pictures Yourself!!! This Album Is A Classic Fuck What Anyone Says
I agree with the person who said give us some time to digest the album. I’m only up to track six and I’m loving it thus far. Shyne’s debut and 2nd album were 3/5 at best. He’s in no position to judge K Dot’s album with all the garbage tracks he’s leaked since being released from prison. Let that bot K. Dot cook!!!
Every album Shyne put out has been garbage! He will always be the known as the best thing that never happened!!!!
As for Kendrick Lamar his album is super dope!!!! Good Kid is definetly an instant classic!!!!!! Keep up the good work KL!!!!!
k oft album is a huge let down considering its on aftermath
What makes it a huge letdown to you?
This is a perfect example of a classic hater! Really Shine u should be ashamed as a grown man u should know better everyone with any music knowledge can easily listen to this and say this is a good album…to call it complete trash? thats a ridiculous claim and u knoe it…stop this crab mentality and work on your shit cause u havent been hot since u came out of jail
It’s not trash but I bet yawl anything you won’t have it on repeat a month from now. It’s NO classic. In fact you probably going to listen to Meek’s album more because it’s got more energy in it. Just saying.
It’s not a classic i will give it 4 out 5 soild album , i just root for Kendrick lamar, J.cole and big Krit because they are the last of a dying breed and i think cyhi the prince can be up there with them if kanye push him out more
It’s a good solid album.
Kend rick album ok. But Nigel asking if it compares to Shynes first album hahahaha no way. Shyne’s First album from start to end is a classic. I hate what Shyne’s doing now but Shyne’s 1st album is one of the greatest rap albums of all time.
KENDRICK LAMAR = HIP-HOP CLASSIC!… K.DOT album is reason why East Coast rappers ALWAYS hate WEST COAST HIP-HOP!… WESTSIDE IS THE REAL SIDE!…Fuck that EAST COAST Nicki Minaj WACK SH!T
This album is FIRE, downloaded it n half way through i went n bought 3 copies. fuck yall hater’s.
I like the album it took me 3 days to vibe fuck the beats I like lyrics that’s what’s wrong wit rap now the beats get more attention then the lyrics in jadakiss voice y’all use beats for help we help the beats and I don’t think its a classic but its a good album I think has got the best album this year
It’s far from trash but I think that people hyped this album up.As far as lyrics it’s hot but beat wise it’s boring in my opinion.It has the same sound/vibe throughout the whole album and the radio singles were added as bonus tracks which is stupid.Back in the day rappers had hot beats and dope lyrics which is why I laugh at these cats calling this album a classic when it’s not.I understand it’s a breathe of fresh and Kendrick is creative but c’mon…stop hyping dude up.
Man I haven’t heard the album but on section 80 so. Trash no bullshit I actually bought into the hype heard a couple tracks off other shit I guess and in ok he might have something but nahh to me he is only good in small doses stalley, better than him . I mean wtf is the fuss about nigga say MLK and Marcus garvey in his rap now he on a higher plane gtfho. He ok but I just deleted the whole section 80 off my droid cept for 2 songs smh Kevin gates would destroy this kid go look him up on u tube trill shit. And fast rappin don’t mean shit miss me wit all dat bull , it ain’t his fault tho get to paper ken lol
