Dec 6, 2021impresses with its diversity and scope, but it's not just a record to admire: put simply, there's an embarrassment of killer material here.

Sep 14, 2021This is a great album that put Kendrick on the map. This highlights his versatility in flow and voices and shows his singular vision for representing Compton life.

Jul 28, 2019Kendrick's greatest album and an indisputable classic. It's a genius piece of work. A cinematic masterpiece that takes on a philosophical endeavor of walking in another man's shoes, GKMC will forever be a watermark to hip hop in terms of storytelling, concept and lyrical ability.

Dec 28, 2012Greatest debut I heard in a long time probably since Em's Slim Shady LP. I listened to all the tracks and it just sounds like the perfect hip-hop that we needed. Lyrics are really good, the production is also good and the little skits in the songs goes well with the album. If you have not picked up this album I suggest you do so. This album will be talked about for years

Oct 24, 2012This one deserves all the praise it is getting. It takes a few listens, but once you get it, you get it. Album of the year and future classic right here.

Oct 28, 2014This is really a great Rap/Hip-Hop album, with no doubt!!
Kendrick knows how to rap good and sounds like a big God of the Rap. He's one of the best Rappers actuality and it gives to him an other level on the industry. Amazing, just it. -

Jul 19, 2023Review só pra lembrar a nota que eu dei pro album:
album mt bom, agora só escrever pra passar dos 75 caracteres. -
Jan 25, 2016I don't get the positive reviews I found the album truly dull and Lamar's rapping is simply irritating. This album is nothing compared to the artists I grew up listening to 2Pac and Eminem. A boring album. Not recommended.
-
Apr 22, 2015Electrifying, music euphoria and instant classic are the best terms to describe the album. With this album Kendrick proves there is a future for true hip-hop and it's him. Come and save us Kendrick!

Feb 15, 2019Good Kid, M.A.A.D City is a fantastic album. All of the songs are fantastic, everything on Good Kid M.A.A.D City is a beautiful album from Kendrick Lamar. I highly recommended.

Dec 21, 2012Sonically, you can't do better than Kendrick, and even though I found myself frequently confused/ angered by Lamar's constant character/style/flow changes, I was also greatly impressed with each individual track. Yes, it misses the mark on immersion as an album, but as a collection of individual songs, holy balls. It's so good.

Sep 18, 2015not even stopping, the best rap project in the 21st cent. by a mainstream but underground grown artist. kendrick is on track to become the greatest mc of all time.
-
May 23, 2017Kendrick Lamar is simply an amazing artist and this album does a great job displaying that. It tells a gritty story without sacrificing the actual music.
Best songs: m.A.A.d. City / Money Trees / Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst

Jan 24, 2013The quotidian problems and longings of the title track making up the real heart of the album, a rough and tumble struggle to the top.
-
Jan 10, 2013In another rapper's hands the concepts might have been overcooked or the messages too self-righteous, but Kendrick manages to achieve scale while remaining firmly grounded on two feet.
-
Dec 21, 2012This is the best rap album of 2012--not just because of champion verses and immaculate drops, but because they recognize that the most brilliant foreground only shines against a well-defined backdrop.
