Insane how I have this exact memory with like 4 people

So ktt and mu putting me on so early

Feel like some of these projects hype feel dumb forced nowadays maybe it’s because all of the media publications just copy each other’s posts. And all the fake Twitter rap critic bots idk but artist like Travis and Uzi are probably the two artist that their release days have a similar feel… but we move on by next week.

I agree 100% rap wise

I don’t remember what this site was like for cmiygl

Lol I went through the same s*** wit my brother but this was around Section 80 I put alot of people on to TDE back then irl good times. It was satisfying but lowkey annoying when the shift happened and the same Niggas that use to front on Kendrick when I tried but input him on were walkin around singing “if pirusnand crips all got along..”

I love uzi Travis pink tape and utopia

But the hold social media has on everything now leads to people acting like they are in any way comparable to gkmc.

Idk if I'm getting old, but gkmc felt like the whole ass culture changed and I have faint memories being at parties routinely hearing Kendrick tracks thinking.... this dude f***ing changed everything, with a single album. After I thought no one was paying attention to him, then he flipped it all.

Since then we've had that with parts of tapes at most. Can't think of a single album that changed so much since. Even in that era what else did so much? Flockavelli?

I still think look out for detox was the greatest snippet of all time

Man of the year up their still tho

There were no came and went posts for GKMC. It was there and it never went away. Instant classic and nothing we're getting right now compares to it.

Glad to see you understand the move noir, I feel exactly the same

With streaming taking over everything and the amount of essentially free content we receive, albums have to create their own value with undeniable quality. Your s*** has to be GREAT, you have to be great live, and you have to keep your name out there to build a meaningful following.

It was a different time and GKMC was a bulletproof album, as potent as a greatest hits but with way more effort put into its construction. We don't get albums like that very often anymore and even fewer stick around.

I f*** with it bro, respect for the Mr. Morale/S80 love

1. TPAB
2. GKMC
3. MM&TBS
4. UU
5. DAMN.
6. Section.80
7. OD
8. Kendrick Lamar EP

Greatest of all time I’m afraid

I'm actually surprised at all the TPAB love

Respect to the Almighty

Haha included EP what you think of his first 3 tapes? If you’ve heard em

Goat

This was my first rap album

Goddamn I love this album. I love rap

I was sitting on the floor of my bedroom with my s***ty laptop blasting this on the speakers

I had no clue music like Real or Sing About Me or Sherane could be made

This might be the greatest rap album of all time

yeah.

real ktt1 vets remember having to f***ing man the fort against the "no bangers" critics lol.

MM&BS gonna have the same grace period in the next 4 years.

Great album great time

real music

Haven’t checked them out actually

This, GRODT and Flockaveli the greatest debut rap albums of all time.

And pls dont hit me with that O.D./S80 were albums s*** lol

S80 was a whole ass album breh

Maybe not his major label debut but who wants major labels to be the standard ?

He was a much bigger artist by the time GKMC came out, the release of that album would've been the make or break for the rest of his career so while you're technically right yes I still do consider GKMC as the debut
