Artists

Kendrick Lamar could be considered the highest achieving hip-hop artists, with an insane amount of accolades, commercial and critical sucess. His albums are both popular and widely acclaimed because his subject matter, clever writing, and production is consistent and beyond most.

He has heavy roots in his home city, Compton, the place shaped his lyrics & music forever. At his time, he saw murders at ages a child should be seeing his favourite TV program, the whole life had a huge impression on him. good kid m.A.A.d city is an album where he talks about his personal experiences in detail using masterful storytelling, people call this the modern Illmatic.

One impressive thing about Kendrick is his quality, it's ridiculous how fantastic his catalogue is. He has an album rated the number 1 of... Hip-hop? No, the number 1 of all time! It's easy to see why, his albums have this wide-appeal without sacrificing creative integrity and quality, and that's a difficult balance.

My favourite albums are good kid m.A.A.d city & To Pimp a Butterfly
