    I think many would classify it as a gangster or just a regular rap album

    are you guys trolling here or what? how is it not conscious rap? all he does is reflect on his peers/surroundings/environment/choices
    liike look at this he's so conscious he knows how much gas is in his friends car
    i was actually going to post itt and troll like "no its just gangster rap and kendrick is so stupid he may as well be unconscious"

    Yeah I'm with you, sure its not majorly socially conscious as TPAB is but it's still self concious and about him coming to terms with his life.

    yeah, it's more like a side thing in GKMC, like it's just a part of the album, not the main focus. but for him to tell his story, he "we went there and a b---- tricked us and now we shot some dudes" llike there's introspective/reflective/conscious s--- throughout to add emphasis to the story. Section80 was a more conscious album imo
