I have heard this album quite a few times before, but it's one I've been meaning to revisit recently. Sherane AKA Master Splinter's Daughter: a haunting start to the album that lets you see into what happens when you meet the right girl at maybe the wrong time. The ending speech about dominoes makes me so happy every time I hear it. Bitch, don't kill my vibe: who isn't a sinner, and who won't sin again? This was probably the first Kendrick song I remember hearing in my life. It really sparked my love for him; being able to be this serious and yet control the vibe of the song to be upbeat and interesting to hear is a skill that was not expected of Kendrick at the time of this album's release Backseat freestyle: what has not been said about this song yet, it's catchy and strong and makes you feel the dichotomy between the Kendrick that loves Master Splinter's daughter and the Kendrick who is alone with himself, which plays into the next song The art of peer pressure really showcases Kenrick's storytelling power. The homies that are making Kenrick ruin his life, but protect him. he is not unfamiliar with the gangbangers, but he doesn't want to be a participant in the actions of the gangs. It is hard not to be in the middle of the issues, though. The leaving-the-house scene is visceral, and you can feel the tension in the car as they make lefts and rights. Money trees: one of my favorites on the album and fav rap tracks in general, the hook and chorus are instantly recognizable, and the bring back of the domino plot is great Poetic Justice: Back when Drake made a good feature and wasn't embarrassing, both rappers on this song were heroes of the time, and the fact that Kendrick was able to get a 2012 Drake on his second album is impressive to me. I would kill to have been in a frat when this album came out, but specifically, this song and "Money Trees" make me feel the most jealous. Good Kid: the story of a kid who wants to be good but is trapped in the circumstances he is surrounded by. MAAD CITY: I lied, this is the one I want to hear in a Big 10 frat basement the most I lost track of what song I was on, so I'll stop my song-by-song list there, but this album is full of so much love and heart that the first time I heard it in its entirety, I cried. to sing only about things youu claim have happened and have this be the story told is incredible from a song perspective; each track brings you deeper into the story, like chapters of the great American novel
