hey everyone! today we have a reaction to kendrick lamar's debut studio album, good kid, maad city. this being one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time, i thought it would be a great starting point as we plan to cover more of his work in the future. it has been a while since i've actually broken down this album so feel free to comment anything i may have missed down below. we hope you enjoy!
