So the highly anticipated debut album for Kendrick Lamar is here, so now that you've had just a little bit of time to digest it, wouldn't it be good to actually understand a little of what K.Dot is saying? Well that's what Rap Genius is for if you've been under a cave. Or even if you got something from the album that others didn't or wanna express something or you just want to know the lyrics, check it out:

Rap Genius - good kid, m.A.A.d city

Good*Fella hooks up with K.Dot and asks a few question about upcoming features, peeps he aspires to feature with, and some unpredictable features he'd like to do. I AGREE 100% WITH KENDRICK ON THE WAKA/WHAT IS HIP-HOP THING! I swear that the hip-hop heads are just as polarized and stubborn as the manstreamers in what hip-hop is man. read more

Im just gonna post the vid's description because it's TOO DOPE:


When rigor mortis occurs within a corpse, its muscles tighten, causing the body to become stiff and very difficult to move. The chemical reaction makes all blood gravitate to the areas of the body that are closest to the ground, leaving colorful spots as an indication of life that once existed. As the soul escapes, toxins remain causing the corpse to rot and decompose. This is the fate that Kendrick Lamar has deemed onto the competition, more commonly known as your favorite rapper. Amen!

Death can be so beautiful at times. Boasting bars as mad as Marilyn Manson, one grim rapper emerges to hold hip hop ransom. Hailing from Compton, Los Angeles, one of America's most neglected graveyards, Kendrick yields his sickle (ballpoint pen) to pry open the caskets of lyricism, musicianship, and tradition. The emcee, once known as K. Dot, hence displays an heir of irony in his verses, murdering the fraudulent with the same weapon used for shedding light on realness.

Section 80 was released in the first week of July and continues to receive steady rotation from barbershop stereos to iPods on college campuses. A clear game changer, his debut album is dynamic in the sense that it brings forth the story of a generation incubated in the years of Reaganomics, while projecting the rebellious voice of a youth discontented by society's harsh inflictions.

Directors, The ICU caught up with Kendrick Lamar at various locations throughout New York City to shoot this highly anticipated video off of Section 80. Accompanied by a triumphant three piece brass section, this funeral procession is not a mournful event, but rather a triumphant proclamation for a resurrecting art form. Chuuuch!

I cannot even begin to explain how dope this is yo, its as if your dreams become a reality man. Where all the people you listened to, looked up to as a kid are now recognizing YOU for your talent and not just that, they are applauding and praising you for what you have done and are set to do. They are giving you the spotlight, the torch to hold. This is just so dope on too many levels man, because hip-hop has always had a culture of violence and to see rappers show another emcee love like this is tremendous. I can only imagine how emotional this is for Kendrick, but the torch is in his corner now and I think he knows what to do with it. HiiPoWer read more

Kendrick sees this kid Jonathan Rivera playing the violin, pretty bossly if I might add, and decides to spit a free and jot down Jon's number. Swag. It's not the illest freestyle but hey people complain about writtens all the time so respect this one.


Hit the jump for my thoughts on why people care so much if a free is really free

I like this song yo, I thought that Big Pooh was gonna foo it up but he held his own, kinda, with the Top Dawg Heavyweights. And why is his name Rapper Big Pooh lol like did anyone accuse him of being a R&B artist or something, but watevvs

Man I am so ready for this tape right about now, especially since K.R.I.T. is sitting on the Return of 4eva, but this song goes in heavy and these are slowly becoming my fav 2 Black Hippy members. Still love me some Schoolboy Q yet still skeptical to Jay Rock because the only verses I liked from him were on his "All My Life [ft Lil Wayne]" and "Rolling Stone" so idk, but LongTerm: Mentality 4.5.11

This entire post is props to the Dopehouse

The homies at 2dope must've been reading everyone's minds because I really didnt want half of that BS taking up space in Hard Drive lol so heres what K.Dot gives to the mixtape



Kendrick Lamar - Don't Understand


Kendrick Lamar - Outrageous


Kendrick Lamar - XXL Freestyle read more

This version of the Freshman Cypher has Yelawolf, Kendrick Lamar, Lil B, Cyhi Da Prince. Not gonna lie before I listened I was like they fugged the opportunity for the perfect cypher by putting in Lil B instead of K.R.I.T. [by the way I still think they blew it] but I gotta say the Based God impressed lol he didnt suck and I actually thought it.....was....a...little bit....good. Kendrick once AGAIN shined the brightest but the cypher was good. And since K.R.I.T. wasnt in this one I now have a reason to watch the last cypher, but he better not drop a verse from a song he releases this month again -.-


But all I can say is......



LMAO this is so gay no matter what he was crying for

K.Dot once again snaps the Mic necks with his lyrical onslaught.....man he really leaves me speechless sometimes. Cant Wait for his next project. read more

Man Kendrick literally explodes on this man, he really is the head of his class. But with that being said, I cant wait for Big K.R.I.T.'s because I know he's gonna smash it! Just look at the 'Children of the World' for evidence. But I think K.R.I.T. doesnt shine the brightest, but he's a close second to K.Dot #HiiPower


Here's the song he got it from, yeah Im sorry to say its not a freestyle but who gives a fudge
