    If you didn't know, I f---in love this mixtape. It's the one that got me interested in Kendrick. I had heard a lot of his music bc my boyfriend at the time f----- with Kendrick HEAVY, but I hadn't heard anything i liked from him until...
    I remember hearing The Heart Part 2 and my heart instantly melted. I couldn't help but think okay someone is out there making some good s---.

    The Heart is so personal for me because I heard it around the time I had really stopped believing in music as an art. I just felt like no-one was making music for the art of making music, it was just to cut a f---in check. After hearing this song I remembered what it was like to ACTUALLY like an artist's music.. I couldn't wait to actually spend my money on an album again, or go to a show...it was that excitement I felt about his music that drew me in closer and solidified Kendricks music in my playlist.

    I thought I couldn't relate but I find myself relating and understanding his music better than I thought. And with this mixtape he has tracks that anyone can enjoy regardless of background, age, gender, socio-economic status.

    What are your thoughts on this mixtape/article?

    ...I even hate calling it a mixtape it's just THAT good.

    I love the production on both but I think GKMC is better than OD. Section 80 is probably my favourite Kendrick project though.
    I know its stupid but I wish Kendrick got rid of the cornrows & had the hairstyle from the GKMC era lol.

    OD is a fantastic project. There are so many introspective and heartfelt songs on here. Opposites Attract might be my favourite because it is such a special song and it's delivered in such an ingenious way. I think the fact that we're celebrating the release of a "mixtape" that was released 5 years ago just goes to show how special it is. Kendrick's growth throughout the years has been incredible.

    Heart pt. 2 is my favourite track off the mixtape.

    This is probably the mixtape I'm most familiar with, I don't often go back to these. It's a project I did enjoy though!
