So finally I'm doing a review. The video for this review is also coming soon. Yea, we getting back on track. Anyway, I'm going to give my review on an older album that a lot of people have heard. Even though a lot of people have heard it, I still want to give my opinion on it. One of my favorite albums of 2011, yea I know it wasn't that long ago, Kendrick Lamar's "Section 80". I'm going to go through it track by track. Now I know I'm going to sound stupid after saying this but I haven't heard 2010's "Overly Dedicated" but I plan to listen and review it. Anyway right off the back this album is great. "F*ck Your Ethnicity" isn't one of my favorites. The beat is a little awkward to me. And the way his voice comes on the chorus is disrupting to me. It's auto tune and he is yelling it just doesn't fit to me. From there we hit a highlight of the album with "Hol' Up." The jazzy instrumental fits his voice perfectly and this is highlighted a few times on this project. Then from there we go into "A.D.H.D." which goes into the narrative he starts with the first track. This track also has it's own narrative as well. I like the way he brings up the crack outbreak in the 80's and other topics while sharing drinks and spending a night with a women. From there we go into the beautiful "No Makeup (Her Vice)." Colin Munroe's voice sounds perfect for the less jazzy beat. The rock type drums with an E.D.M.-ish sound makes this a really good song. This is one of the few less jazz-type beats on the project. I really like production on this album. The next song is one of my absolute favorites. "Tammy's Song (Her Evils)" is too short. I like the beat its very synth driven. The little story he rights is nice as well. The little twist of "Tammy" becoming a lesbian at the ending is very funny. Very good word play and lyricism on Kendrick's part. This is one of my top 5 favorite tracks on the project. Next after that is "Chapter 6" which suffers from the same disease as the previous track, it's too short. The jazz-type beat with the nice singing. I like the fact that Kendrick doesn't spit on this track. I can't really imagine him rapping over this track. Next is the track "Ronald Reagan Era." I like the way it starts with Astro bot singing straight in Kendrick dropping some real hard bars. I really like the second verse. The beat is perfect. The whole song sounds very angry. After that we go into "Poe Mans Dream (His Vice)." I love the brooklyn sample. After listening to this more than once I realized kendrick spits really hard on this too. Its a very good song. Now that I'm on the halfway point of the album this is the halfway point of the blog. I'll fish this up next week.
