Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (stylized as good kid, m.A.A.d city) is the second studio album by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. It was released on October 22, 2012, through Top Dawg Entertainment, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. The album features guest appearances from Drake, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Jay Rock, Anna Wise, and MC Eiht. It is Lamar's major label debut, after his independently released first album Section.80 in 2011 and his signing to Aftermath and Interscope the following year.
Good Kid, M.A.A.D City was recorded mostly at several studios in California, with producers such as Dr. Dre, Just Blaze, Pharrell Williams, Hit-Boy, Scoop DeVille, Jack Splash, and T-Minus, among others, contributing to the album. Billed as a "short film by Kendrick Lamar" on the album cover, the concept album follows the story of Lamar's teenage experiences in the drug-infested streets and gang lifestyle of his native Compton. The album earned Lamar four Grammy Award nominations at the 2014 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
The album was supported by five singles - "The Recipe", "Swimming Pools (Drank)", "Backseat Freestyle", "Poetic Justice", and "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe". All five singles achieved chart success of varying degrees. Lamar also went on a world tour between May and August 2013, featuring the other members of the hip hop collective, Black Hippy.
Good Kid, M.A.A.D City received widespread acclaim from critics, who praised its thematic scope and Lamar's lyrics. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, selling 242,000 copies in its first week - earning the highest first-week hip hop album sales of 2012 from a male artist. It became Lamar's first album to enter the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number 16, and entering the UK R&B Albums Chart at number two. The album was also named to many end-of-the-year lists, often topping them. It was later certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2020, the album was ranked 115th on Rolling Stone's updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Love your show: i always enjoyed the album: doe or die from az. Would be a pleasure to watch IT!
if you do another album reaction, have him react to rodeo by travis, he'll probably like that project.
Just subscribed can’t wait to binge watch y’all’s videos !!
Can you guys react to Doggystyle by snoop dogg
you guys are literally the alternative universe turning the tables
Lol
Turning the tables wasn’t the first tho
@@stealmyideias8429 not the very 1st but they def the ones 2 get it right
@@BridgingTheGapYT don't pay this noise any attention bro. It doesn't matter if you came first or he came first.. or if y'all got a similar thing.
Everyone's father and son connection are different different and It is dope to see. It's different that just regular reactors, because you get to see how a father and son both connect
Plus, I will say that I like your name too. Bridging the gap is legit what you're doing with generations and era's.
Fr they’re all variants lol someone call the TVA
If you’re dad likes the jazzy sound, u should definitely let him hear To Pimp A Butterfly💯🔥
this.
He’ll love it I swear. It’s my favorite album of all time. Replay value is high !
On god 🙏
I mean duh haha
@@FernandoMartinez-jv9vj greatest album ever imo too
The joy and smile on the son's face while showing his dad the song is everything that's what's up bro.
Thought I was the only one who thought this
fax
which song?
This is what it’s all about
Your dad saying "it's just so above the rest" is the perfect way to describe this album, especially at the time, I remember being in shock after my first time listening to it.
To this day it’s in a categorie with only 10-15 other rap albums ever
@@travishutchinson9771best album ever created
@@travishutchinson9771with DAMN. and TPAB too!
@@travishutchinson9771which ones you reffering to my g?
This wasn’t an album, this was an experience. Love Kendrick.
One of the greatest albums ever released.
Kendrick's storytelling is amazing
Well said
is this not an album?
@@lightningmcking1234its a metaphor
The story expressed throughout the album is one of those kinds of journeys you sit and enjoy. The Jimi Hendrix experience is another album you should hear because it is like a journey
Quick correction: technically, in the context of the album's story Kendrick is/was partially gang affiliated because his close friends he's talking with in the skits are Westside Piru Bloods. He even talks about doing gang shit when he would hang out with them in the music even though he's not a full-fleged member and just *from* the hood. A big theme in the album is young black and brown men who grow up in these rougher neighborhoods don't always have a choice in being connected in some way to the gang culture. Jay Rock (dude who would sign Kendrick to TDE) would literally take a younger Kendrick to the Bounty Hunter Blood neighborhood (Jay Rock WAS fully affiliated) in watts and had him freestyle for the homies on the block. Kendrick is an example of the dude from the affiliated hood who would hang but wouldn't bang.
Damn
Sing About Me is probably Kendrick's best song. That song is amazing and sticks to the ribs.
You ain’t lying
For me his best song is The Art Of Peer Pressure
Some of my favorites are SAMIDOT, Cartoons & Cereal, and FEEL. I can't really say that there are any songs I dislike, though
Completely agree, my top 5 ⬇️
Sing about me (no 1)
⬇️(No order from here)
Maad city
Blacker the berry
DNA
Money trees
Hon mentions- alright, good kid, bitch dont kill my vibe
@@PLUTOXGOAT TPAB?
I love how when maad city came on you couldn't help but smile and rap along this song been had us by the throat for the last 10 years 😭😭
Facts!
I already know he’s going to love the story and different aesthetics in this album. It is truly a documented journey✨ Money Trees is unmatched in my opinion
My favorite song on the album. Jay Rock spazzed 🔥
@Kernaisha Gaines..you're articulate and extra GORGE🤤US 🤭 I see you princess..You'll make an awes😍me 👑Queen. 😘🥰
m.A.A.d city for me
@@BridgingTheGapYT can we get TPAB (maybe yall did that already) and DAMN please 🙏
@@kisitoagassa4691 for me too, really close with sing about me I’m dying of thirst and backseat freestyle
Easily one of the best Hip Hop albums of the last 10ish years. Absolute classic!
i honestly think its bettter then to pimp a butterfly
I'd say one of the best hip hop albums of all time
@@lukemullaney7533 without a question and it's aging beautifully
@@lauwenskyastrel4790 totally agree. Far better for me. I get that TPAB has a great message and all, but I see not a small, but a huge difference of level with GKMC... Like, I would rate TPAB an 8.5/10 while GKMC is close to a 10
@@lukemullaney7533 no disagreements from me
I really love these ‘sons showing dads their favorite music’ type videos because you can see that this is a really indirect way for someone to show their parent a very real side of themselves that they only really get to experience with certain music, like the fact that you can dance around and mouth the lyrics is a really kind of vulnerable place a lot of people cant really relate with sharing with a parent because not everyone has that type of relationships with their parents.
or not everyone has parents
Dude, I'm from South Korea and I've been a huge fan of Kendrick since he dropped Section 80. I cannot fully relate to Kendrick's Compton experiences written in GKMC, but I was really inspired by his messages on how we should break the innate environmental obstacles in order to further move on. By the way, your father and son relationship is really cool, they talk and discuss about their son's favorite music and culture. Keep it up dude!
오 한국인..진짜 명반이죠!
When you go into this album and you still find it so fucking good and then you're reminded that he still has TPAB and DAMN in his pocket. But especially TPAB, that shit is a trip to another universe similar to Dre's Chronic and Nas' Illmatic.
Better than Chronic & Illmatic easily. He took from those albums and made the actual perfect album
@@JohnnySensei7 I wouldn't say easily but orherwise agree.
@@JohnnySensei7 I disagree. I could never say it was better than those albums, because they were game changing, and not just entertaining to the ears. No way you were sound back then and came to that conclusion.
@@LurnWell I think that comes with time. I think we'll look back at TPAB and GKMC in 10+ years the same way we look back at Illmatic, the Chronic and other classic albums now.
No love for Section.80?? Weird
yall skipped compton 😭😭
Loved this video. This is probably my favorite album ever
Not one skippable track on this album, maad city absolute banger all the way through. One of my favorite albums ever of any genre
they skipped Compton tho...
I’ve listened to this album hundreds of times before and each time feels like the first, it’s like Kendrick gives you a first person experience through Compton from master splinters daughter to backseat freestyle to poetic justice, this album is top tier
Its soo nostalgic its crazy
This album is sooo good, but I think you should have played "compton" too. The dr dre infleunce on this album is so huge. And that song cements that
The Recipe is such a classic too
should have played now or never too
Compton is the ending of the album, ties everything together. Unsure why it was skipped.
Kendrick really elevated hip hop. a true master. the real GOAT.
Man I love this so much. I don't know why it made me so emotional, but this was genuinely a joy to see. Black father son relationship, just sharing art together and being open. So beautiful. Thank you my friends.
Preciate you bro 🙏🏾
same.
Yo I was wondering why I was getting emotional on the last track! Loved this so much
listening to poetic justice now like 🙃
😂😂
Man the love in your Pop’s eyes when he looks at you! Like “yeah I raised this young man to have great taste in music” lol. Incredible to be able to share this album with your Pops! Respect!
Had a grin on this whole video. This may be a hot take, but I prefer GKMC to TPAB, and it was so wholesome seeing dad enjoy it as much as you do. You guys and Turning the tables are letting me relive my first listens for all these albums
I think that gkmc has better hits, and a more personal story, but tpab doesn’t have a song that isn’t perfect on it, and is more of a cultural album though, but both albums are different and 🔥
Not a hot take. TPAB is only better in the eyes of critics. In reality, more people prefer GKMC.
@@Youre TPAB is one of few albums that made me cry personally. Big fan of all Kendricks work though
@@Youre I think tpab is better but I definitely prefer to listen to good kid. My favorite movies are indie films but I’m not gonna throw those on when I’m tryna chill.
A lot of people hated on TPAB when it originally dropped
This album feels like it was released just yesterday, and yet it still blows my mind. I am forever grateful for the evolution it forced me to do as a human being. The violin is such a powerful instrument and I love how it really gets your dad, too. Each track on this album is emotionally charged and provides chills. It is truly timeless and remains one of my favorites to this day. I appreciate the hell out of your dads response.
I’ve watched a lot of Kendrick reactions, but this one has been by far my favourite of any reaction. I absolutely love the album and love it even more after this. Watching your dad experience it for the first time and just seeing his eyes being opened to an amazing artist is ridiculously satisfying haha.
Keep up the good work, can’t wait for the TPAB reaction.... cheers!
Him finally accepting it with the “72 hours 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️” at the end of backstreet freestyle had me dead😭
nobody else like this comment- its perfect
*to clarify, it was at 72 likes..
@@beigefedora9716 This comment is my excuse to come back and rewatch this vid now😂 Can’t believe it’s alr been 10 months since I found these guys.
@@tife555 we gotta get you 72 comments now
Bro that had me weak
Kendrick is so creative - I love your dad’s reaction to this album, he clearly wasn’t expecting it to sound like it did. As you say - there’s fewer classics these days, the art of album making in some ways has been lessened in the move to streaming, but this is a modern classic!
Kendrick really don’t miss - I just hope we get another from him this year!
I didn’t expect to sit down and watch this whole video but I did! Y’all definitely know how to dissect songs and I’m glad you two can appreciate this album as father and son.
Me too I was just tryna watch a bit but their energy got me into the album more than I already was
I thoroughly enjoyed your fathers journey through this entire project.
Sing about me im dying of thirst has to be the one of the greatest kendrick songs of all time. I still cant wrap my head around him creating a story and poem while keeping on beat and rhyming every lyric. Then comes the second part, which is the person who i believe killed the person from the first parts’ brother getting baptised and being freed from the weight left on him from that event. Best Kendrick Album, top 10 Rap songs of the 2010’s
Damn that’s deep 🔥
Man, this is one of my favorite albums of all time and seeing you and your dad connect over this gives me such a heartwarming feeling. I wish I could of had this experience with my dad also but these videos with albums I have such a big emotional connection with fill that gap at least a little bit. Thank you for that
I was smiling mad hard this whole video. Watching someone experience Kendrick's art for the first time is always fun to watch. Added to the father/son dynamic, this was a fire video. Easy sub.
yalls reaction made my night. the way you explained things to your pops and the fact he appreciated the skits made this such a unique react. now im hoping for a TPAB reaction!
Gotta give a thumbs up for Father and son doing this together. Props
For a dude sittin on a couch you got some killer clear sound man. Big respect for shouting out the track producers, which is often overlooked. Also love the father/son bonding. Subbed!!
both you have a good vibe yall hella chill and i love it
Loved this! My favorite song from this album is actually one of the bonus tracks from this album (Black Boy Fly), but the entire album has so much replay value and is really a classic.
40:56 Kendrick once mentioned that this sound indicate a flashback. Small details like these are what made this album a cinematic experience to me 🏃🏽♂️
This was such a great watch. I can see that you father genuinely liked the album. Kendrick is undeniably one of the greats, his writing is just leagues above others. I cannot wait for his TPAB reaction
Happy 10th anniversary to the album!! Love you for giving your dad this experience
Hey guys, i am watching from Portugal, you have been my company during the past week. Just wanted to say that your connection is amazing and we really need those father and son relationship in the world. Thank you 🙏
Man this album is such a classic
Definitely my second fav kendrick album after TPAB
Keep up the good work I wish I could also do this with my Dad
The perfect introduction to the newer school. Keep it up, fellas!
cole has to be next we need 4 your eyes only he will love tht
@@lauwenskyastrel4790 Definitely needs to get into Cole.
Man this is really beautiful to see and is such a dope concept. I wish I could do this with my father. Cherish these moments together. Much love ❤️
This amazing, I just found your channel. You and your dad are very blessed to be able to sit down, dissect and enjoy music together. I've always wondered what my dad would think of kendrick and other artists I enjoy but he passed away 10 years ago so I never got the chance
Really enjoying you and your dad's vids! Respect from New Zealand bro. Good Kid is one of the last great Hip Hop albums that merged the styles of the 90s, 00's and his decade from 10 to 2020. Album has so much style!
Both of your perspectives are really interesting and I love how informed you are about this album. Your dad seemed to really like this as well which is great. I've watched a few of your videos but this one hit different for me in terms of how both of you put it together. I just subscribed and I will be watching all the new videos for suree. Keep doing your thing man this channel is great.
Thanks bro
seeing your dad love the jazz aspect of this album makes me think he would really like tbab. the influence jazz has on that album is crazy and i’m sure he’ll like the production
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 LMAOOOOO you funny dawg
I love this sooo much bro. Black father and son bonding through great art for the whole world to see. The internet is a beautiful thing.
this album is so good, the whole story running throughout the album, the production, the skits, they all tie together so perfectly its crazy
The parallel between the red and blue in good kid is still one of my favorite things Kendrick’s ever done. That song’s so underrated
Happy to see a black son & dad version of the turning tables. A perspective that I can relate too. No shade to them, I love what they do, but I like seeing different perspectives and view points.
Shame y'all didn't react to Compton, it my favorite track. Hope y'all react to Yak someday for fun lol. Peace ✌
Yak a young 🐐
@@BridgingTheGapYT project baby for life 💯
This is absolutely great. It’s so nice to experience some of my favorite albums again like it’s my first time through your dad. Can’t wait for more!
We need a DAMN reaction!!! Awesome to see your dad really diving in and understanding the music! Love this!!!!
This album never left my rotation since I got the day it dropped!! Till this day, it go's
!
Ur pops is so Old School yet willing and wanting to understand the newer generation…so dope to watch y’all do this
What a dope reaction! Thanks for introducing your dad to Kendrick
Yo brotha. Had to switch from UA-cam on TV to my phone to comment that y’all are dope. It’s awesome seeing father n son spend time listening to our music and enjoying it. Hope this channel blows like crazy for you bro
hi guys, again a cool reaction. Until now I wasn't a big Kendrick Lamar fan, but now I've heard the album with you guys and I have to say it's incredibly good!
Greetings from Germany
You and your dad should react to the half time show yesterday even tho it ain’t an album That was a legendary moment for hip hop🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Agreed
Wait, what happened during the half time show? I didn't watch the game.
@@RewindOGTeeHee if your a hip hop fan I suggest u go watch it now one of the best half time shows ever
@@wesleyowusu0805 hip hope 💀💀
So what I do if I'm not a fan? All I'm asking for is an explanation. It's complicated, but I'd rather be watching more interesting stuff with my limited time on YT.
@@RewindOGTeeHee it’s a performance by dr dre,50 cent,Eminem,Mary j blige,snoop dog and Kendrick Lamar just go check it out
i just listened to this album fully for the first time two days ago and had to see how others felt about it and you and your dad were the perfect two
IMO this one of the best albums out , glad, y’all reacted to it
I love all the different channels where a son shows his dad a new type of music. Especially cause all of them have different tastes and you get a lot of perspective
Thankyou for sharing this with us! Mad respect
Just found your channel yesterday man and it's been so touching watching you listening to all my favorite songs with your dad. My dad passed 3 years ago and he was a HUUUUUUGE steelers fan too. Stay blessed brother. I can relate a lot to you guys.
Thanks for being here. 💯
you a legend for doing this witcha ya paps ...such a legendary album ....lets keep it going sir
You and your pops enjoying this literally made my day 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
love it bro! watcching you and pops vibing, reminds of me and my old man!! miss him to the core!!! big love
This is special.
Makes me wish I had a father.
Thank you for the video.
I love how you show your dad the whole spectrum of rap. Not just trap or just conscience shit. But like the whole thing. Cause rap is really just news of what happens in real life . Both sides of rap tells a story of what really goes on in the world and everyone relates to one or the other or both depending on what you like or live through. Life is crazy and can feel the vibe through anyone’s music or experiences!
Dad looks wise and looks like he can relate through what he’s lived through. My dads second language is English so I wish he would understand word play or double entendres or similes and stuff like that cause I feel he would love it. Bumps to you man. Shout out to y’all for bonding through the amazing thing we call music
Much luv fam 💯
That smile before you play M.a.a.d city is definitely me when i play the song for the first time to a friend, i can only feel you
Been probably 2 years since I dipped into this album . Such a masterpiece. Love the dialog you and pops have . Keep it up , you've got another subscriber.
I love this y’all’s smiles are contagious I wanna do this wit my dad so bad
Man hearing your pops just feel that jazz energy in kendrick is nuts, just how he picks and flows on his beats. Kendrick said he had no idea about it all until he was working on TPAB, maybe the biggest jazz influenced project in the last two decades.
I’m glad I get to enjoy this album wit y’all 🔥
This what I’ve been waiting for! Showing pops modern day hip-hop 👌🏼
Watching this made me love this album all over again. Thank you! This one is a classic.
this is dope man. keep it going because I can see y’all truly appreciate the music :)
Seeing someone experience this album for the first time warms my soul ❤
Great video! I've been a huge Dot fan since 2011...this is easily my favorite album (of all time perhaps). Love seeing you and your pops share this masterpiece together!
One of my favorite nuances in this album is the 2nd verse of Sing About Me....the girl is the younger sister of Keisha from Section 80 (another classic Kendrick project) who was also a "working girl".
Kendrick has an amazing ability to convey the human condition in thoughtful ways...many times from other people's perspectives.
This is amazing. I miss my pops man, rest in peace my 🐐
I wonder how much your dad would love TPAB. So much jazz influence!
Gotta say I love the trajectory you're going on here. It's pretty much the albums I'd choose to introduce / teach someone about rap too, so that they can get a real background and understanding of the kind of stuff heads appreciate. Really looking forward to / curious about your next picks, dude. I know I heard he's already on to Wutang.
Guessing, like we gonna see some Ye, Lupe, Thought/The Roots, Madvillain, Weezy, Outkast eventually? I'll stop, but man you're killing it with your picks so far! Good stuff.
I had a smile through my face the whole time. This is so wholesome 😌
There was something really touching about how you guys laughed together at the beginning of Sing About Me. The lot of us who are lucky to have a good relationship with our dad can sometimes take it for granted.
Good kid and money trees are my favorite songs. I loved your reactions to it. Love the analysis after the song
I feel like I'm on the couch with ya'll. I was smiling huge and rapping along. This was amazing!
This is exactly what we need 💯💯💯 to bridge the fuckin gap 🔥🙏🏽 solid reaction! New subscriber 💪🏽
Been watching a couple of these album reactions on your channel now.. It's so beautiful to watch you and your dad having this experience, sharing it with us. I feel honored, really... Thank you. 💙
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾💜
this might be my favorite album ever, dope reaction yall much love
I think y'all and Turning the Tables have to do a combo at some point. 2 younger guys and their pops getting on an album.
That would be 🔥
Beautiful video man I wish I had my dad around to experience this myself , keep it going fam🙌🏽💯
Straight up killin it. 🔥🔥 Love y‘all
Keep coming back to this channel -- it's so enjoyable to hear you and your dad's take on these albums 🙌
Thanks for being here 🤝🏾
This album is too good. The production, storyline, theme, lyrics, hits records and truly timeless.
Love this content. You make a great team. Keep the good work and thanks for sharing it with us!
This video gave me goosebumps, especially the Backseat freestyle part!
I really dig watching you guys break down Kendrick’s music together.
Haha the art of peer pressure my favorite song! Glad y’all had them reactions 🔥😭
