Good kid

Without a doubt. It’s in the bottom 3-4 of play counts, but is a masterpiece, both in lyric and beat. Real is amazing, Sherane is amazing, but good kid is just wildly overlooked.

I love Compton, but it doesn’t feel as much of an inventive track as good kid - more of a throwback boombap banger.

Sherane has the fewest plays, but to me is incredibly important in setting the tone for the album. I always listen to GKMC from the beginning.

u/Nojaii 1d ago

Finally someone talks about this one, but idk if we should count it because its a apple music exclusive

u/whatsappvincible 1d ago

that’s fair, honestly a top tier kendrick song though but no one talks about it, deserves some recognition 🙏

good kid

u/KyllerKyllz 21h ago

The second half of M.a.a.d city, my personal favorite and it’s super under looked because of the first half

u/Emergency_Acadia4885 20h ago

I'd have to go with Good Kid BUT, I can see someone making an argument for Real as it often gets overlooked because it comes right after the best song on the album SAMIDOT.

u/No_Carob1414 1d ago

I’m not too familiar with what people consider underrated, but if people don’t have art of peer pressure as number 1 or 2 on the album then I consider them underrating it

u/SasukesMark 1d ago

Money Trees, it was a b side record that’s just as popular as a lot of the hits on GKMC
