Dec 4, 2014 its crazy how this album s----s on section 80 tbh (from a pure objective standpoint) A song like sherane is better than anything on gkmc. Its like A Day in The Life Of Benjamin which is the goat storytelling track. both songs are just long verses, with similarish atmospheric beats that reminisce on old girlfriends of the rappers when they were young. I thinks a great tribute that completely stands on its own as a track.
Dec 5, 2014 The love for Real really surprises me tbh. Since we're talking about favourite tracks from the album, mine are BDKMV and MAAD City, then Money Trees, Art Of Peer Pressure and Sing About Me.
Dec 5, 2014 and sing about me is like the consensus best song on the album and compton & real are my personal top 2 on it
Dec 5, 2014 I can see why someone would skip Sing About Me/Dying of Thirst tho. It's long as h--- I just never understood why people under rated good kid so much. aside from a generic hook (which still fits) it works perfectly as the calm before the storm and GREAT verses I haven't heard real in like a year lol. And I like Kendrick's parts on Compton/the outro. But it's a bottom three track as well
Dec 5, 2014 so what? it doesn't change anything. it is still his best song and its even better than it is a long song
Dec 5, 2014 If you skip a track beacause its long as h--- then you don't deserve to listen to music lol
Dec 5, 2014 All I said was I can see why people skip it lol. Not that's bad, I don't think anyone thinks that. They just might not always have 10 mins to spare one song
Dec 5, 2014 I have a playlist where I replace Real and Compton with Cartoons & Cereal and The Heart Pt. 3. Real is too long and is especially a chore to get through when the previous song is 12 minutes long. Compton isn't that bad, just really underwhelming as a closer AND when it should have been one of the best songs on the album.
Dec 5, 2014 I dont really skip any unless i have no desire to listen to that track (Mostly Real. I used to hate Compton but it grew on me. At times i skip good kid though the song lyrically is incredible)
Dec 5, 2014 Real - He sounds tired when he's rapping, the hook is Soulja Boy level repetitive Swimming Pools - Love this song, but got tired of hearing it after a while, it gets old fast.
Dec 5, 2014 Absolutely no skippable tracks, Also real is such a clever and deep track with what he's saying and the way that he says it, that alone makes the track great to me...
Dec 6, 2014 I don't think it's a good standout track, but it's placed right after Rigamortis and fits perfectly in that spot. I wouldn't delete/skip it, that's for sure. It deserves its spot.
