Good Kid, m.A.A.d City: A Short Film

Having bought this album on CD the year it was released, I wasn't very interesting in having it on vinyl. I said what the heck, though, when I saw it was for less than $20.If you're a fan of contemporary music, you know this album is a classic so my review isn't of that. I'm here to convince you to get it on vinyl.If you're just starting your collection, or if you're a vinyl aficionado, this is a great pressing to have. There aren't any booklets or inserts or lyrics or anything, but the pressing is quiet and punchy throughout. I had no audio issues whatsoever. It's a double vinyl with three-four tracks on each side. My only "complaint" is that the vinyl themselves aren't very thick.I know there's 10 year anniversary edition recently released. At the price that I see it, I'm sure the vinyl are heavier and there is probably more thought that went into the packaging of the whole thing. But, if like me, you don't see where it's necessary to spend almost $40 on that, then I highly recommend this.

Amazing album, even better on vinyl, Now or Never is an absolute banger. My first copy had an bent corner, but the replacement process was fast and easy. Great customer service!!!

Great album. Literally from start to finish. I love the fact that the album flows and you actually feel like your riding around in the van with Kendrick as he tells his story. Section.80 is great too, but GKMC is mos def a step up.Oh, now on to my "BUT..."SOME KEY POINTS:1. "Poetic Justice" is NOT the best song in my opinion. I understand the whole "love" aspect with Sherane... BUT to be honest with you I could have done WITHOUT the Drake feature. Having me connected with the story he was telling up to this point it kind of made things uncomfortable. I felt like there was threesome going on. Awkward. (What is this? Marvin's room? What the hell is Drake doing here?)2. The slew of BONUS tracks are awesome.. BUT I feel like the original 12 songs were plenty and the Bonus tracks were more than what I actually needed. Kinda like when you order a milkshake at a restaurant and they throw in a free ice cream cone. Nice come up, but you didn't actually need it. I could loop the original version--- no problem. Start to finish. Finish to Start. But I'd have to skip the bonus tracks on the deluxe version because it takes away from the story. (Not a CON of course... more music is more music.)3. I just purchased the vinyl for $14.99 (not including shipping)and it immediately goes out of stock as soon as I refresh. (Maybe I copped the last one, ya bish.) THEN I come back a few hours later to check pricing/confirmation and it's changed to 19.98 (not including shipping) 'Sup with that?

The rating sums up my feelings on the music pretty well; amazing album and everyone who loves hip-hop should own a copy. Enough has been said about its greatness already.I'm writing this review mostly about the vinyl pressing; which essentially is perfect, packaging and everything was well made and in flawless condition, if a bit barebones(no inserts or anything); but being nitpicky I do notice on the wax that some songs are really not mixed very well, something I never noticed with the digital copy I've been listening to since it came out. The song "Backseat Freestyle" especially; one of my favorites, has a severe lack of bass, and Kendrick's voice seems to be boosted up to the point that its almost grating on the ear. I know this isn't a fault of my system because other songs like "Money Trees" (right after it!) sound very rich in bass! Also the volume the tracks were mixed at kind of seems to fluctuate slightly from track to track, didn't notice that in my digital copy either.Not deal breaking by any means; still a spectacular album and; for me, something that just needs to be in the collection. Just a friendly warning to audiophiles out there.

It’s like Quentin Tarantino movie with the pieces of the story out of order, but the message and the sentimental value still being there. Every line, lyric, is delivered with emphasis and conveys an emotion or drives the narrative forward. This story is the story of Kendrick Lamar, and what an inspiring story this is. The album is worth the purchase in my opinion.

Quality item, came packaged well. Looks even better in person, can’t wait to continue collection!

Exactly what u would get from target

There may be a couple scratches bc it’s skipping at the start, but other than that it came in good condition

"Good kid, m.A.A.d city’" pretende tomar el testigo del gangsta rap que reinó en el área de Los Ángeles en los 90, un subgénero que, pese a lograr un notable éxito comercial, acabó lapidando sus logros artísticos por el deplorable y patético uso de la violencia que retroalimentaba.NWA, 2Pac, Dr. Dre, The Notorious Big o Snoop Dogg son una palpable influencia en este ambicioso álbum, en el que los guiños al funk de los 70. No soy mucho del rap pero este disco es la caña.

Wahnsinns Album. Wird auch in 10 Jahren noch eines meiner Lieblingsalben sein.

Delivered quick, packaged well and sounds perfect on my vinyl.

Vinile arrivato in ottime condizioni, qualità audio eccellente.Uno degli album migliori e più iconici della storia del rap
