Kendrick Lamar’s Top 25 Favorite Albums

It goes without saying, Kendrick Lamar is a talented dude. Hell, his first official radio single was featuring DOCTOR… FREAKIN… DRE. That’s an official co-sign right there.

He’s no Taylor Swift, selling a million and something copies in a matter of hours, but he did make an imprint in the hip hop community with the release of “good kid, m.A.A.d. city”. The albums is expected to sell around 200,000 copies – pretty solid by today’s standards!

Complex.com has been doing a week-long feature on the Compton artist. He spoke to the site about his top 25 favorite albums. Being that we’re only separated in age by one year, it’s kinda crazy how much I can relate to this list. It’s like taking a trip down memory lane:
