My experience with Kendrick Lamar - Part 5

Well, it is a bit strange that I chose Kendrick Lamar's first studio album as the last album I would listen to in his discography. I thought it would be interesting to watch his growth over time and go back to his roots to appreciate how much he changed. Oh boy how he changed, at some parts I forgot this was even a Kendrick Lamar album. I mean even the transition from good kid m.A.A.d city is tremendous with his sound, that said this album still has great soul/RnB vibes.

This project was a very solid foundation that Kendrick would only improve upon overtime , but his potential shines throughout this project. Although he can miss the mark on some of these tracks and the album lacks a strong concept like with good kid m.A.A.d city or TPAB. Inconsistency is ultimately what held this album back from greatness, but it was still great.
