I said this in my review of Good Kid / mAAd City, but hip hop has never been a genre I gravitate towards, so I hadn’t really heard much Kendrick Lamar before doing this list. I was blown away by Good Kid / mAAD City. Gave it a 5. Got this album and expected similar. But somehow, I’ve been blown away again. Astonishingly good. Maybe the best hip hop album I’ve ever heard.
