    Today marks the 3 year anniversary of Kendrick's classic debut album, GKMC. One of my favorite albums ever.

    I was listening to it all the way through last night on my way back from dropping my parents off at the airport, still one of my all-time favorite albums. Money Trees will never get old...

    Damm no idea its been 3 years.

    Album is goat, pretty much set a bar that cannot be reached.

    M.a.a.d city
    Art of Peer Pressure
    and Backseat freestyle are my favorite songs of this. That Jay Z remix of Dont k--- my vibe is something else as well :whew:

    I remember hating swimming pools, thinking it was a generic party song and hating kendricks voice.

    Oh how wrong i was

    First song i heard of kendricks was probably swimming pools or f---in problems, and i absolutely hated his voice. Genuinely thought he ruined problems. Tried listening to gkmc on Pandora and i hated everything about it. After getting used to his features on Qs mixtapes i decided to give in another try while reading up on why it was so critically acclaimed, and it grew on me immensely

    his voice is pretty weird

    but you get used to it, its interesting you hated GKMC first try, was it just his voice?

    i had to really try to understand the album and the concept because id never heard anything like it, love the album now
