Pete, Goofle. Was Good Kid Mad City, really that bad that this thread needed dug up?
Hell, it was a longer than it needed to be and thus some of the tracks dragged on too long, but do we honestly blame Kendrick for that?

How about Dre trying desperately to claw back the spotlight he has not been accustomed to in recent years by overproducing?

Sure, it's not Section 8.0, but it shows a little diversity and as I've said before had he created Section 8.1 we'd have probably bashed him for not opening up as an artist and trying to move on.
And as for the interludes and other jingles, yeah they're annoying but most rap albums from the 90's had them. Ready to Die and Life After Death were chocked full of them, but they're heralded as classics despite the fact I can't sit through them.

Perhaps you feel the same away about this album, but I believe in Kendrick and I'm sure this album will grow over time, if you allow it to.
