Section 80. pt 2

I'm going to finish this long overdue review. So I left off on "Poe Mans Dream" so the next track after that is "Spiteful Chant." I don't really like this song. Kendrick is doing his thing on here as always, but the hook on here and the production is too mediocre. It doesn't fit the full product to me. It just lacks something I can't explain it. The next track is one of my favorites. I don't know what it is about "Chapter 10", but it is too nice. The beat, Kendrick is nice on it. The singing on the track. This is a track I wish was about 3 minutes but its a little over a minute long. The next 6 songs are the main reason this project is so great. Starting with "Keisha's Song". Great use of the singer Astro-Bot's voice. Has a solid message behind it. Very powerful song, one of my favorites on the entire album. After is the very upbeat "Rigamortis". One of Kendrick's best tracks lyrically. He just jumps into the beat and it seems like his flow is endless on this track. Following that is the track " Kush & Corinthians". Very solid. Nice hook. It's interesting how Kendrick goes from a slow song to a very fast one to another slow one and it feels natural. This is another one of my favorite's on the project. Right after is one of the songs that got Kendrick a lot of attention, " Blow my High". This song is nearly perfect. The way he brings up Aaliyah. The way he references other artist who have past away. The only thing I wish was used on this more was the small sample of Aaliyah towards the end. Following that is a song I used to skip every time, but now I think its my favorite on the whole album. "Ab Soul's Outro" has the best jazz instrumental I have ever heard on a rap song. It just flows so beautiful. It doesn't feel like rap. It feels like spoken word poetry behind a jazz track. The things said are really nice too. If you like jazz you will love this song. If you don't you will just skip it. But this song is perfection in my mind. Then the last track of the entire project come in " Hiii Power". I really like this song. The beat, the singing, and as expected Kendrick is just spitting. Dropping memorable lines too. It really brings the narrative set in the previous tracks and the whole feel of the album together. A great track. Section 80 is Kendrick Lamar's debut album from 2011. It has many up's and very few down's. A very good album. With the exception of "Spiteful Chant" and "Fuck Your  Ethnicity" I give this entire album a 9.8 out of 10.
