Nov 11, 2015 By Yoh, aka YohOD, aka @Yoh31 of http://www.djbooth.net/index/mobile/feature/2015-11-10-kendrick-lamar-overly-dedicated-legacy 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. @KendrickSXN
Nov 11, 2015 I thought the writer sounded like a d-ck rider but it's Kendrick.... i mean s--- why not
Nov 11, 2015 its a classic mixtape. some great songs like Heart Part 2,Ignorance is Bliss,Average Joe,Barbed Wire,Opposites Attract. Much prefer the production on it than TPAB.
Nov 11, 2015 Turnnnnnn up!! This is 23 y.o Shahidah anthem .... "2 much for these n----s, I'm 3 much for these hoes."
Nov 11, 2015 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!
Nov 11, 2015 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.
Nov 11, 2015 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.
Nov 11, 2015 I can't keep a straight face looking at that s--- Can't get the image out of my head either. Tryna listen to WG and seeing that hair in my mind. Got me f----- up.
Nov 11, 2015 But to be on topic, most of the songs on this mixtape are atleast top 20 in his career, no lie.
