I’ll never forget the moment I realized Kendrick Lamar is a genius. I was listening to good kid, m.A.A.d city for the first time when the 4th track, The Art of Peer Pressure came on. It’s a 5 and a half minute journey through Kendrick’s teenage memories, aided by immersive passages of voice acting that depict a formative run in with crime Kendrick had as a young man. As the song crept along with its nighttime synths and lo-fi drums, I lost track of reality. The way Kendrick retells his attempt at a home invasion was so realistic I found myself thinking, just for a moment, “wait...how did he get a recording of this?” before doing a double take and laughing at my own stupidity. Today I want to explore the brilliance of the man who could very well be hip hop’s greatest of all time. Let’s learn more.
