3arl Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yup, this will be up front and center in that store next week And deservingly so. Also, that was one of the better written Pitchfork reviews I've read in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 And deservingly so. Also, that was one of the better written Pitchfork reviews I've read in a while. Agreed. I really liked it... although I spent a while today thinking about how weird it is to care so much about reviews. I've gotten so mad in the past when Pitchfork trashed an album I loved, and it's just so pointless. But then they do something like this and write a great review about an album I love and all of a sudden I pretend what they say matters again... Oh well.

booms528 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 i think the review was good apart from the fact they got the story all messed up. yeah i noticed the same thing... to be honest, i'm not even sure i have it totally straight yet, though. it's kind of complicated and jumps around, which i really like, but is a little hard to follow.

themightychew Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 OK, there's enough of a buzz in this thread to seriously check this album out tonight. Been hearing good things on Twitter too. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Given the recent history of major label rap albums, I'm really surprised the vinyl came out on time with the digital/cd. I need to get it this weekend, really want to contribute towards the first week sales numbers. Hoping they'll be big (I've heard it's projected at around 200k.)

Guest Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 ive heard great things about this album, and i gave it a listen today. but holy shit, 90 minutes? drop some fucking skits and give me a tolerable runtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The skits are very short. Its a story anyways, a lot of the songs are near or over 5min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 realizing now that i've got 5 bonus tracks. i've just never been a fan of skits. really don't understand why it's an obligation in rap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it's mostly on debut albums. I've never really understood it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The whole album is a story, a concept. Good kid m.A.A.d City A Short Film By Kendrick Lamar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I almost feel like it's offensive to call them "skits"... With the older Kanye skits on College Dropout and Late Reg, they were dumb tracks that were trying to be funny and were basically pointless. But here, they're essential parts of the story. And after all those bonus tracks it's really only 68min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
