The King of West Coast Rap

The King of West Coast Rap. Kendrick Lamar, the next legend of rap hes keeping the rap game alive by making songs being produced by Dr. Dre. Section 80 Kendricks first debut album, in my opinion this album was really good. The debut album got nominated for BET Hip Hop Award best mixtape. This mixtape brought a different perspective about rap, it was different from everyone else's music. Kendricks music reminded me of 90s rap, it brought that vibe to me and it made me follow his music more. Good Kid Mad City was his 2nd album, once it released it rose to the top of the charts and by the end of the year he won two awards for this album. I noticed everyone was listening to this album, barbershops would be playing it, my friends would be listening to it, it was outstanding to me how fast this album got popular. Personally I really enjoyed Good Kid Mad City, I wasn't disappointed at all, it was an amazing album. I loved it so much I would listen to the album from start to finish, and would keep replaying the album.

Kendrick Lamar really changed the rap industry with all the music he's made. I can picture him being the next legend in the west coast rap industry. Dr. Dre all the big hip hop legends passed the crown down to Kendrick Lamar and told him that it was his turn to keep the rap game alive, Kendrick got really emotional and couldn't believe they passed him down the crown of rap.
