High school this album carried me throughout LIFE damn near. He’s the only artists that as soon as I heard the album I was like “Oh yea he’s gonna be around for a LONG time” now he’s definitely in my top 10 if not top 5
Isn't Eminem's Curtain Call the longest standing one? I guess it's not technically an album since it's a compilation so if you mean studio albums then yeah you're 100% right
That’s def not true Pink Floyd, MJ, Eminem and prob others have all 100% charted longer. Ppl just put fake facts out and everyone just runs with it instead of looking it up
Facts. New years eve 2023 I was at a club & they were playing songs from like 2020 to 2023 & then the dj said we taking it back & first song he played was MAAD City & the whole club went CRAZY. Love it
there so many best songs on the album... SAMIDOT, Swimming Pools, Money Trees, The Art Of Peer Pressure, BDKMV, M.a.a.d City... such good rotation To me, its my personal favorite to listen to, but I think TPAB is most arguably is his best project to date.
I remember listening to Section.80 because Ken was so high on it. I was blown away and felt there was no way Kendrick could match or surpass that album. Sure enough GKMC is an all time great and one of the most cinematic albums ever.
If you were in LA or was in high school when this came out, YOU KNOW how big and important it is. It was like boyz n the hood or Friday in a music format
I feel like this album + “Control” verse was the moment he became the king of the new school. TPAB was when he earned the savior title for like all of music.
As someone who’s 21 this album just really got me into music in general. I had heard sing about me and that song was so good I had to get the whole album. Like before I just casually listened to stuff but this album got me listening to whole albums all the way through and breaking them down and really thinking about them.
10:30 I feel we can finally call this album a classic because in the beginning when it first came out and people was calling it a classic they all saying I need some time to grow on us but the fans are already knew it was a classic
For a while, I wrestled between GKMC and TPAB, but GKMC is 2nd for me. It is a masterpiece that invokes so many emotions. A pure classic!!! I literally feel like I’m there with him experiencing everything he is going through.
Kendrick Lamar: Will you let hip hop die on October 22? I'm proud to say we didn't let hip hop die. This album aged so well and is currently the longest charting hip hop album.
i listened to GKMC this weekend and TPAB right after. two masterpieces, i def think these two albums are a tier ahead of his other ones, which are still great projects. Kendrick is just on another level in terms of making albums, like no one else’s discography comes close imo. 🐐
We asked and we RECEIVED!!! I’m so proud of this album and everything that it means to the culture. Fav tracks: Sing About Me, Real, Money Trees, Black Boy Fly, and the deluxe tracks Collect Calls and County Building Blues. This whole album is a movie!
This album has aged incredibly. Longest billboard charting hip hop album of all time. Viewed as one of the best concept albums of all time. Had multiple hit songs: Bitch don’t kill my vibe, backseat freestyle, money trees, swimming pools, MAAD City, The Recipe, poetic justice. Commercially and critically on another level. My favourite hip hop album of all time
Man, I remember this album so vividly. I remember eagerly waiting for your review, crazy I been following yall for that long, when Rod was mainly behind the camera, to see the progression with you guys and also Kendrick as an artist has been dope as hell.
I remember when this came out. I was 21...I'd been following him since I heard him when he dropped Kendrick Lamar EP and I just KNEW he had something in him. Met him when he came to do a concert took a picture with him and chopped it up for a lil bit too. He's cool af. I just saw him in concert this year 10 years later and of course I was nowhere near him like i was the first time lol
To correct you guys, TDE does not have a label deal with Interscope. Only Kendrick, Jay Rock and Schoolboy have deals with Interscope. Their other major artists have their own individual major label situations and partnerships; like Isaiah Rashad is with Warner and SZA is with RCA
This is still my favorite Kendrick album. Still wish Cartoon & Cereal didn’t leak early and have sample issues. That would’ve put GKMC into an even higher stratosphere imo
This album takes me back to high school. Will always have memories with this album. Not to mention seeing Kendrick perform this album while he opened for Kanye.
Went to see Kendrick live in Frankfurt a few weeks ago and I gotta say people just went crazy for Money Trees. Honestly, this just be my favorite album of all time. The core themes and ideas are so universally applicable that even a kid from Romania could relate to most of the stuff he was saying all these years ago. I’m glad Kendrick exists.
Can't believe it's been a decade - that initial review was the first one I saw from you guys. Glad to have been part of the journey, hoping for another decade and then some!
This is probably the most listenable to me and I typically listen all of the way through, including skits when I listen. If I had to list in order it’s still TPAB GKMC Mr. Morale UU Section 80. OD DAMN.
TPAB GKMC UU DAMN. Mr. Morale Section 80. OD My list. To me its also like highest being if i had to see why he's consider great and what would make me consider the best as an overall project.
GKMC was the first Kendrick album that I've listened to. I think TPAB us a better album but GKMC is my favorite album. I still go back to it even still to this day. It's crazy how y'all have a problem with the skits though. That's what kind of brings the album together in my opinion. It's one of my favorite things about it honestly as it really helps create a visual for the music. It's part of the experience. Also, the GKMC review was one of the first reviews I've ever watched from you guys. Back when you'd just stand outside in random areas and discuss. Lol
I was expecting this to be a way more positive review I think maybe just as a west coast kid who was 14 when this came out this album is basically my illmatic or my aquemeni. Really was the soundtrack to my teenage years. One of the best albums of all time imo
can’t really say much more on the album as everyone knows how good it is but man i remember the initial review, just want to say how proud i am of seeing how far DEHH have come along. i’ll never forget the funny reviews when myke was killing wayne for i am not a human being 2 and the outrage with the lil b stuff 😭😭😭😭😭
I agree with Myke about Poetic Justice. I never was a big fan of that song. It’s definitely a skip for me. The only skips for me on this whole album are Poetic Justice and Now or Never with Mary J Blige. Other than that GKMC and TPAB are the two albums I go back and forth on as my favorite K Dot project
Now Or Never was a bonus right? But yeah, Poetic Justice is the weakest song but still isn't trash by any measure. Real, Sing About Me, Peer Pressure... stupid songs
@@ArmLegLegArmHead47 I can’t speak for everybody else but for me I believe he has two (GKMC & TPAB). I don’t have the same nostalgia for Section 80 as everybody else seems to have because I became a fan off GKMC. The album aged well imo because I like it more today than I did years ago when I first heard it, but I can’t say it’s a classic (not mad at those that feel it is). Never thought Damn was a classic even tho I liked the album. And Mr Morale is definitely not a classic imo
My first year college roomate showed me Kendrick schoolboy and the rest of tde about 2 months before this album dropped. I'm not joking when I say I listened to it at least twice a day for like 2 months. Every day on the walk
Myke said he didn’t like Poetic Justice. For the record I didn’t either, but the video “Decoding Drake and Kendrick” by Anthony Imbrunone changed A LOT for me about that song. Y’all should watch that if you don’t know.
I was a junior in high school when this CLASSIC dropped… Good times Smoking with the homies listening to this and then GTA V dropped the very next year🔥 (Money trees my favorite track)
It's a masterpiece. It's simple enough to leave on replay for hours but still deep enough to warrant active listening. It is a shame that it's not one of his more popular songs
@@MegaShinobi2011 that partly is because it isn't on the album as part of the original track list. Both this song and cartoons and cereal are amazing songs but have been moved off so their not as talked about outside of those that know. It's a shame cartoons and cereal leaked since that is why it was taken off.
Wish for produced videos that Feefo is not on, a separate little video would be added just to share his thoughts, felt like it would've been great on this since he's been part of the crew since the beginning.
The album is a masterpiece. 10 years is good distance to say safely that GKMC is a classic. I would think JID's recent release is in the same vein of a breakout album. I think Em is still with Dre out of gratitude, and Dre is more of a business minded individual that Em believes he can still learn from.
23:15 I'm convinced dude just has a tone and a vibe that makes you want to punk him lol I feel like he's one of them dudes that's annoying but then you feel bad cause they technically haven't done nun wrong loll When it comes down to the goofs it's Feefo>grandsad
I didn't know he wasn't the owner until years later but for a while I thought Kendrick Lamar owned TDE, since it's more common now for rappers to own a label I thought TDE was his.
It's interesting for me to hear that this isn't your favourite Kendrick album because I personally think it's his best work by far. Mostly because I find it the most consistent with its theme.
I respect all opinions. But I must say this because I don’t hear no one here who has my take. GKMC is either 1 or 2 best album of the 2010s, forget it just being a Top Kendrick album. To put section 80 above this album is something I don’t have the capacity to understand. All I can think of is it might be nostalgic for yall 2. Musically, thematically, conceptually….. you know what ima be 100 wit yall, EVERY single thing about GKMC is better then section 80 down to the bare vocals of Kendrick’s voice. But for yall to not love Swimming Pools, let me tell you. The music here isn’t the problem. Much love y’all
A true masterpiece that has aged nicely... Still in my rotation to this day.
My favorite album of all time besides The College Dropout.
Can't believe this album is 10 years old
Ik right
Why not
@@commaJim probably cause it’s still in rotation.
Where does the time go man? 😂

Fun Fact: this is the longest standing Hip Hop album on the Billboard 200
Isn't Eminem's Curtain Call the longest standing one? I guess it's not technically an album since it's a compilation so if you mean studio albums then yeah you're 100% right
@J you’ve commented on the Em MGK diss video 😅 you know who Em is goofy

Facts. New years eve 2023 I was at a club & they were playing songs from like 2020 to 2023 & then the dj said we taking it back & first song he played was MAAD City & the whole club went CRAZY. Love it
This album was my high school soundtrack 🙌🏽
Same
Lol this statement would not make sense if you really was Oprah.
As soon as the guitar starts on bitch don’t kill my vibe it takes me back to walking to school in the mornings
me too
same, this, Acid Rap and Watch the Throne
The art of peer pressure lowkey the best song on the album
Underrated af 😔
I’d say M.a.a.d City is
Sing about me??
nothing else on the album hits me harder than money trees
there so many best songs on the album... SAMIDOT, Swimming Pools, Money Trees, The Art Of Peer Pressure, BDKMV, M.a.a.d City... such good rotation
To me, its my personal favorite to listen to, but I think TPAB is most arguably is his best project to date.
C4, Kendrick Lamar EP, OD, Section 80, GKMC, TPAB, DAMN, Mr. Morale.. that catalog is crazy
Untitled, black panther soundtrack..
I remember listening to Section.80 because Ken was so high on it. I was blown away and felt there was no way Kendrick could match or surpass that album. Sure enough GKMC is an all time great and one of the most cinematic albums ever.
this album is so good macklemore felt like he had to text an apology to the man when he won best rap album lol
Dont think ive gone 6 months without hearing this album beginning to end since it dropped, definitely a certified classic!
The song Good Kid is the biggest sleeper on this album✊
good kid, Alright, Mr. Morale...Kendrick and Pharrell never miss
For me this Kendrick’s best album
If you were in LA or was in high school when this came out, YOU KNOW how big and important it is.
It was like boyz n the hood or Friday in a music format
I feel like this album + “Control” verse was the moment he became the king of the new school. TPAB was when he earned the savior title for like all of music.
Easily the most cinematic album of all time, only Kendrick could have more than one Magnum Opus. His whole discography is nothing but masterpieces.
As someone who’s 21 this album just really got me into music in general. I had heard sing about me and that song was so good I had to get the whole album.

I was a Freshman in High School when this dropped and now I am over 2 years removed from undergrad. Time flies.
Same, now I’m getting my masters.
@@keithharrell2796 same 😂
This album for me gets better with time. It's definitely up there with all the other west coast classics, still play it to this day.
For a while, I wrestled between GKMC and TPAB, but GKMC is 2nd for me. It is a masterpiece that invokes so many emotions. A pure classic!!! I literally feel like I’m there with him experiencing everything he is going through.

This album came out when I was 19, holy shit. I remember playing my burned CD of this in my car for months.

You can legit tell each of their personalities from their favorite Kendrick album
Ab-Soul never signed to a major which is why he never got the push that the rest of them did
10 years and Good kid STILL slept on heavy
Mass hallucinations baby
so fucking true. it sounds just as good as any other track. maybe not as catchy, but damn its a powerful song

10 years ago this Compton artist now legend dropped an amazing piece of music on this day.
time goes by too fast
Why is Feefo not in many vids anymore? Hope all is well
@Tristan that and him and his wife are expecting so they are getting their new home setup and such.
One of the illest albums ever made
Especially during the 2010s
One of my personal top 10 albums of all time.
This album brought the west back, during that time it was mostly the south and the midwest.
Def my favorite Kendrick album
It's kinda wild but this might be the only album where I always like listening to the skits.
This is A Video We’ve all been excited For. Thank Y’all For This!
"Throwing gang signs out the window ..ya bish..hoping all of dem offend you..ya bish "🎵 🎵
to this day i think collect calls is the best song on the album and arguably his best to date
Collect Calls!!! Men lie, women lie!!

Certified Classic. Actually Certified essential album

“The art of skits” 🐝 is something else fr
The album is a masterpiece. 10 years is good distance to say safely that GKMC is a classic.
I would think JID's recent release is in the same vein of a breakout album.
I think Em is still with Dre out of gratitude, and Dre is more of a business minded individual that Em believes he can still learn from.
Needed Feefo for this
To me Good Kidd MAAD City is on the same level as Illmatic. A perfect album to introduce yourself to the game. Love this album
