1001 Albums Summary

This is a great album. Upon my first listen, I didn't understand what it meant or the concept that Kendrick was trying to introduce. But as I relistened to the album and again and watch some youtube videos explaining the album and dissecting each of the songs on it. I realized this album is revealing a story about the artist (Kendrick Lamar) about his adolescent days as a good kid growing up Compton which is known for its criminal activities. It showcase the traumatic events kendrick went through which played a vital role in his rap career and how he grow as a person, especially since he witnessed the death of his close friend by a shoot out. My fav song on this album would be real, as it mostly signify who I am as a person and the integrity I'm trying to display. Other songs would be Sherane, Swimming Pools, and Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst. These songs mostly captured my ears as I could relate to them plus the lyric and production are beautiful

The album was ok i guess. Gonna have to give it a second listen due to my first time listening to that type of genre but nonetheless, I think I'm gonna like it if i give it a second chance, especially since my favorite instrument the guitar is on it.
