Wenig erbauliches Machwerk.

Ein fantastisches Album! Jeder der das nicht erkennt, hat im Rezensionsbereich nichts verloren!

aber axelkoch, wie kann man nur so verbohrt sein.
Nicht jeder mag Rap, trotzdem höre ich mir das an, um mir selbst ein Urteil zu bilden.
Im Volksmund auch "Tolerenz" genannt.

Gen Y's "Illmatic"? Probably too big a call to make but the acclaim that has come to this album is something I haven't seen since "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". First time I heard it, eh. 2nd time I heard it, eh. 3rd time, wait there's something in this. Every subsequent listen, oh this actually really is that good. Kendrick's flow, lyrics, beats, it's all so good. It does drag on a little near the end, but before that it's hit after hit after hit. Get onto this.

I'm probably not the best to critique this because I'm not much into Hip-Hop at all. But this was next on my listening list. It's definitely a good listen, cohesive, with good beats and strong, thought-provoking lyrics. What separates this for me is that Kendrick does not rely on guest appearances, he holds his own and makes the listener want to listen all on his own. While nothing really jumps out at me, I can see why this is such a critical darling and I did vibe to several of the tracks on here. Enjoyable album. 4/6.

Die A-Seite lässt sich wirklich vielversprechend an, aber
spätestens ab der Hälfte des Albums geht's dann qualitativ
doch mehr und mehr darnieder....schade, ansonsten
wäre ne knappe 5 hier durchaus dringelegen!

@ alleyt1989:

No guest appearences here? Maybe you wanna check
again, I think there are actually quite a few....:)

@ axelkoch:

Ich hoffe, du lebst immer noch....:)

schlicht ein meisterwerk, dieses debüt-album von king kendrick. viele überragende Songs, doch "swimming pools" gehört zu einem der besten rap-tracks aller zeiten.
