Notifications can be turned off anytime from browser settings. Since its release in , 'Section 80' has gone on to become one of Lamar's most iconic works, as internet dubs him 'greatest rappers of all time'.

Over the past decade, we've seen many iconic musicians make their mark. However, one of the most iconic is clearly Kendrick Lamar. The California rapper dropped his debut studio album 'Section 80' on July 2, A decade on, the album is very much the talk of the town, as social media users rate it one of the best albums from In August , the rapper announced he was parting ways with TDE , after one final album. But TDE and 'Section 80' will always hold a special place in fans' hearts.

Since the album, he's gone on to appear on the soundtrack of numerous films like 'Black Panther', and ' Creed II ', as well as scoop up a Pulitzer Prize. Kendrick Lamar invites white fan on stage to rap with him, then stops show after she uses the N-word from his original lyrics. All that success can be traced back to 'Section 80'. If one of the Bone Thugs guys had a dorky, overly sincere younger cousin who was really into Afrobeat and Terrence Malick movies, it'd be Kendrick.

Lamar does exist within a strong West Coast continuum, but it has nothing to do with Dre. Instead, he's very much within the tradition of 90s groups like Souls of Mischief or the Pharcyde-- self-deprecating and insanely talented kids who routinely ripped dizzy, slip-sliding flows over mellow jazz breaks.

Instead, it gives him a chance to chase his muse wherever it runs. The production, mostly from relative unknowns like THC and Sounwave, is almost uniformly excellent-- a spaced-out blur of astral horns and blissed-out Fender Rhodes, with drums that only knock when they need to. A couple of guys from Lamar's Black Hippy crew-- those guys really sound like Souls of Mischief when they get together-- show up, but the album isn't a guest-heavy affair.

It's a young thinker attempting to describe the world as he sees it. Everywhere he looks, Lamar sees generational symptoms of the kids who came from the era of crack and Ronald Reagan.
