Monkey D. Jiggy Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Dude the first song on GKMC tells an amazing story. How do you not pay attention to that lmao. Seems like any story a guy could relate to as a teen. I'm not even sure if I ever listened to it. Looking the tracklist up shows that Sherane is the first track. When I first heard it, the songs were apparently mixed up, so I probably listened to Sherane once, didn't like it and then just dropped it. Same goes for Real and Compton. On a sidenote: starting to really get into Cherry Bomb. Interesting how much Tyler has grown as an artist and a producer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbersoul Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I enjoyed GKMC over TPAB because his concept was something I could sort of get into and understand. It was basically a guy from the hood and his life, I can get that (not relate of course). Although I did really enjoy TPAB its a bit to black power for me to truly understand. I'm white and alothiugh I know what he's saying I have never been able to appreciate with what message he's delivering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drive slow Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Anyone who has felt discriminated against or struggled can relate to TPAB. That's not to say it's not geared towards uplifting black people, but i feel like the message at it's core is universal. It's also just really good music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I actually felt more like the album was intentionally bipolar when it comes to celebrating black confidence. It seemed like he pointed out both sides of the medal quite regularly. I can see how you relate more to it when you're black yourself but I can definitely understand, relate to and appreciate almost every song on the album. And like said above, it's just really damn fine music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey D. Jiggy Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sometimes Action Bronson and his voice reminds me of Fat Joe. Also, it seems like most of the songs he's either featuring on or is actually his, has a really fun sound to it. Listening to his album right now.

Monkey D. Jiggy Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm real glad I finally picked up Action Bronson. Knew about him for a long time, but didn't really get into him, but Mr. Wonderful was great. I cant even remember Black Boy Fly and Collect Calls. I don't even think I paid that much attention to g.k.m.c. beyond those actual two tracks. I had a period where I kept listening to Backseat Freestyle, but that ended within a week. Swimming PoolSwimmi(*Censored* this goddamn mobile piece of shit) Swimming Pools. Same opinion as Naka. Disliked it at first, really liked it when looking into it, especially the second part of the song, which really lasted way too short for me. Sing About Me was a great song that referenced Section.80, but looking back at gkmc, I don't think I really liked the album as a whole that much, but I was so happy with Kendrick's breakthrough because of it, that I kind of ignored it and was satisfied with whatever I got iI (goddamn phone glitch again). Satisfied with what ever I got out of it. And I sort of pretended Cartoon & Cereal was a part of the albumlist and I like that song over any other gkmc track and maybe even every other Kendrick track in general. "Sing About Me" is an absolutely stellar song. At first listen, "Dying of Thirst" just gripped me immediately because of the urgent production, lyrics and inflections all used but then the first half grew on me pretty well and quickly too. I loved how creative and original the song was, in terms of the 3 perspectives used. It wasn't the most original, the conversational style has been done before in the form of songs such as "Stan" but Kendrick used it in his own way which I thought was dope. Tbh, GKMC was my first Kendrick album I listened to so it wasn't really like I had any expectations going into the project from prior work or w/e. Oh, and I was real sad Cartoon & Cereal didn't make the cut. Apparently, it was pretty close too. Would've been great as the first bonus song off the deluxe ed. About Cartoon & Cereal, I always placed it between good kid and maad city in the story, in a some sort of flashback as to where it originally began, little Kendrick's first memory of gangbanging when he started noticing similarities between the life around him and the cartoons he was watching. It's also one of the few songs where someone else's verse is rated higher than Kendrick's, as Gunplay was amazing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I only really know Bronson from features so far (Red Dot Music with Mac was *censored*ing awesome imo) but I heard really good things about his latest album. I really need to give it a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V to I Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I thought his mixtapes were better (what's up Blue Chips?) but I enjoyed Mr. Wonderful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Nakamura Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 YES Kev, Red Dot Music is *censored*ing amazing. That beat is just so good, and Mac's spitting a lot on that one. Same with Bronson. Oh, and I haven't listened to Mr. Wonderful yet but all of the singles from it are stellar. My fave song of his has to be this one, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds10MDmfT-M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NostalgiaGod Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'm in the minority but I'm not really high on Action Bronson. I don't know what it is about him. And before anyone in here tries to be a smart ass, it's not because he's white. But I don't know just can't get into him. Not saying he's a bad rapper butt I don't really get him.

Grenade. Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Never really listened to any of his other stuff that closely but I think Mr Wonderful is probably my second favorite 2015 album so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyriqz ✪ Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Lots of folks waited for Tech and Eminem to collab, now it's there. I dig Krizz's verse and Eminem, technically, is insane but I don't really like the track much, especially as a "World Wide" Chopper follow up :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
