Kendrick Lamar's 'good kid, m.A.A.d city' was one of, if not the most, anticipated rap albums of 2012. Unlike his previous effort, 'Section.80,' where he focused on the kids of his generation, 'good kid' gives a glimpse of his past as a youth growing up in Cali.

Heralded as a classic, K.Dot puts forth an album that is full of honesty and eye-opening lyricism. On the opener 'Sherane a.k.a Master Splinter's Daughter,' we get introduced to his high school fling before the 'Backseat Freestyle' video even debuted.

Despite leaking a full week before its release, fans still lauded the album.

Notable Tracks: 'Poetic Justice,' 'Swimming Pools (Drank),' 'Compton'
