Give it a chance. It's good.

 

[0R0]

been heard it when it first came out

 

[Dhadnot]

Damn gas broke that shit down, if you from so cal and a black male that didn't get put on a hood this shit is real as fuck. this aint no regular album you gotta be prepared to listen to this shit and digest.

 

[ayo4yayo]

You gotta listen to this album from front to back or you will not understand the story. Its like The Roots "Undun." Dope album.

Also GKMC scanned 242,122 units first week, which is really 121,061 physcial purchases seeing it's double disc and over 100 minutes so it counts for two, but that is pretty impressive this day and age either way.

^^^^
what about people who bought the regular edition?

and lol @ him bringing up Shyne calling the album Trash on that new track, which is dope as fuck

 

[Nuttkase]

True, I didn't even think of that for some reason. I guess the real numbers probably lie somewhere in between the two then. Regardless even if we went with the low end numbers they are still impressive with how album sales are these days in general. I'm really curious to how the digital sales are going to look though.

Took some shots at Shyne. I hear a lil bit of 2pac in K.Dot

If sales are consistent, he might have the best selling rap album of the year. he already has the best first week sales for a rap album.

Album is fucking dope! Only problem I have is no Ab-Soul or Schoolboy Q.

 

[Nuttkase]

Q said he will be dropping another free project before the end of the year and that his first "official" album through the TDE/Interscope/Aftermath deal will be coming out in the first half of 2013.

Shyne was talking mad shit about GKMC and Schoolboy Q was straight clowning Shyne. Saying he was surprised Shyne had internet. LOL! Shyne saying his beats were wack and that the whole album was trash.

It was on twitter.

Shyne now sounds like he's a mentally handicapped person rapping with peanut butter in his mouth. Do yourself a favor and do not check out any of his latest mixtapes. Complete garbage.

 

[ayo4yayo]

I hated Shyne ever since I heard that "Bad Boy" track. I always thought that was Puffys version of The Realest. Trying to sound like Biggie but a very baaad impression.

 

[infinity]

That's a good analogy.

The one thing I'll give him is he has a platinum plaque and a gold plaque, whereas none of TDE does. (Different times in the music industry, I know.)

 

[infinity]

Kendrick should eventually hit gold. Probably within a year.

GKMC skitless edit, at this point the whole album has grown on me enough that I dont mind the skits, but sometimes you're not in the mood for all that

The skits is what puts the story together. Like someone said before, I appreciated Swimming Pools much more when it was put into perspective.

I agree that its a very dope and creative concept but compared to "Undun" its weak album. I like Kendrick but expected a lot more from him on his solo debut.
