    @Koolo, please don't listen to this guy, he's either drunk or stupid. GKMC has a few flaws but it is still the best Kendrick's project.

    is this a joke? or maybe you don't know s--- about music? or maybe you're trolling?

    Please don't compare one of the worst albums of 2010 (RECOVERY) to one of the most praised albums of the last 5 years. Eminem is my favorite rapper of all time but Every song on GKMC is better than any song on recovery :camby:
