    Yeah, I definitely wouldn't suggest listening to GKMC a track here and there at a time. That's definitely an album that should be listened to in one sitting, at least for the first listen.

    "Good Kid" is one of my top Kendrick tracks, very underrated song. So much angst, struggle, helplessness, power in those three verses. A vivid lyrical showcase of all the bad s--- that the city throws in front of him on a day to day basic. The production drives it home with its dark and gritty "I don't want you to survive" tone. Song gives me chills every time I listen.

    Perfect song about the persecution of blacks in black society. I felt like my whole life is wrapped in these lyrics.

    Before you read the review light up a spliff and enjoy:



    Now that your buzzed and hopefully made the connection to Rigamortus by Kendrick. This flawless track was executed perfectly by Mr. Kendrick Lamar Duckworth (Yes that's his real last name not Lamar). This 2:50 minute gem is a highlight of Kendrick’s discography. The Compton rapper who usually makes songs about 4-6 minutes waste no time on this establishing his dominance in the rap game. Kendrick from a technical standpoint is perfect from every tittle to period. Rigor mortis itself is the tightening of muscles within a corpse, Kendrick’s superb use of metaphors, rhyme, and flow in synch with this classic jazz sample, thus creating a 10/10 track From Kendrick Lamar assuring rappers that Kendrick is here to stay.
    "The city hail King Kendrick Lamar
    The world hail King Kendrick Lamar"





    Got me breathing with dragons
    I'll crack the egg in your basket, you b------
    I'm Marilyn Manson with madness
    Now just imagine the magic
    I like to ask it, don't ask for
    Your favorite rapper

    (He dead) yessir
    (Amen) chuuch
    (He dead) I killed him
    (Amen) b----

    And this is rigamortis
    And it's gorgeous when you die
    Ali recorded and I'm Morpheus
    The Matrix of my mind
    I'm out the orbit
    You an orphan and a hairdresser combined
    I'm on the toilet when I rhyme
    If you the s--- then I decline
    I climax where you begin
    And then I end on Cloud 9
    And that's important when you morph
    Into a angel in the skyAnd don't be forging all my signatures
    My listeners reply and tell me
    That you biting style
    You got a h--- of an appetite
    And I'mma be here for a while
    Just buckle up before the ride
    Or knuckle up if you could fight
    We always making them duck or die
    A suit and tie is suitable and usual in suicide
    Csi, just might investigate
    This f---ing parasite

    (He dead)
    (Amen)

    That's what they telling me
    Aim it at your celebrity
    This is studio felony
    There would not be so many
    And cool enough for the 70s
    n-----, payback's a b----
    And b---- you been living in debt with me
    That I more than especially
    Leave a call on his mother voicemail
    To say that he rest in peace
    Bigger chopper the recipe

    Wrestling, that's irrelevant
    Rather rest at your residence
    Whistling to the melody
    Couldn't think of a better D
    Better be on your P and Q
    It's just me Jay Rock, Soul and Q
    So the system ain't why we cute
    Ain't nothing else you can do

    (He dead) yup, yup
    (Amen) I killed him
    (He dead) hahaha
    (Amen) amen

    Got me breathing with dragons
    I'll crack the egg in your basket
    You b------, I'm Marilyn Manson
    Don't ask who your favorite rapper

    (He dead) yup, yup
    (Amen) I know
    (He dead) for sure
    (Amen) amen

    Got me breathing with dragons
    I'll crack the egg in your basket
    You b------, I'm Marilyn Manson
    Don't ask who your favorite rapper

    I rapped him and made him Casper
    I captured the likes of nasa
    My pedigree to fly past ya
    I pass the weed to the pastor
    We all are sinners, once you sinister
    Bible study faster
    You hypocrite is reaction of blasphemy
    I assassin my casualty
    And it's casually done
    And tell 'em my salary come
    A lump sum of hundreds
    Don't talk to be bout no money
    The sun is under my feet
    And I come in peace to compete
    I don't run if you rather leap
    My statistics go up in weeks
    And I go visit the nearest creek
    And I get busy on many mc
    Really ballistic, anybody can see
    Any assistance, everybody done see
    Some persistence, recognize I be
    Really too vicious, the permanent beast
    And the demolition, breaking up the streets
    Better partition, better dot your T
    And I gon' mention, how the far you see
    Putting my d-ck in the rap industry
    Everybody bitchin', getting mad at me
    Recognize Kendrick, in the battery
    And I'm charged up, and the catastrophe
    Is charged up, and the audacity
    And y'all f---s, never could hassle me
    And y'all luck, just ran out you'll see


    (He dead) yup, yup
    (Amen) I know
    (He dead) for sure
    (Amen) amen

    Got me breathing with dragons
    I'll crack the egg in your basket
    You b------, I'm Marilyn Manson
    Don't ask for your favorite rapper

    (He dead) yup, yup
    (Amen) I know
    (He dead) for sure
    (Amen) amen

    Indeed, very good project. There are many great tracks (Vanity Slaves, P&P, Wanna Be Heard, Faith to mention some) that kinda push you to relisten to the whole thing, if you happen to come across one of them. Kendrick's been a beast since the early days.

    I am a big fan of Maad city. that would be a top favorite track. It is hard to determine a best song.

    Well if I'm just going by plays on my itunes, the best Kendrick Lamar song in my opinion is Keisha's Song.
