Kendrick Lamar – Good Kid, m.A.A.d City : Best Verse? Best Song?

Kendrick’s second studio album release has become wildly successful despite his off-the-wall niche style selling 242,000 albums in its first week (that’s the highest 1st week debut for a hip hop album this year). The hip hop community was slow to embrace the Compton based MC at first with his streetwise conscious sensibility and aggressive flow change-ups but despite all of that, Kendrick has still managed to get his music into the ears of consumers, that’s no small feat.

Read past the break to find out what we believe to be the best song and best verse from the album and let us know your thoughts as well.

 

Best Song

Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe takes all of our favorite elements of Kendrick and packs it into one nice long song. Lady Gaga was supposed to be featured on this track originally but due to creative differences the collab never came to fruition. Needless to say, the track stands on its own merit.

Best Verse

DONALD TRUMP ON NEW HAMPSHIRE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL STRAW POLL BALLOT

TRUMP 4 PRESIDENT!!! That’s right, I said it! Now I know some of you may be looking at me like “what the hell!?!?” but let me assure you I am definitely in my right mind. I saw an interview with him awhile back on CNN and they were discussing how he would approach the current problems in America if he were president, and let me tell you his responses were great and mostly in-line with my way of thinking. So I figure why not vote for the guy!? Although he would run as a republican, I’m really for one party and that party is AMERICA!!! lmao I know that sounds sooooooo wack but hey… ENJOY

Derry, New Hampshire (CNN) — New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary is more than a year away, but Granite State Republican activists will be polled Saturday on which candidate they would like to see become their party's nominee in 2012. The straw poll organizers — WMUR-TV and ABC News – will survey the 493 members of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee at the group's annual meeting in Derry, though not every committee … Read More

BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK (AKA THE iPAD KILLER)

If your like me and you love the idea of the ipad, but don’t love the price or the fact that it cannot play flash videos,among a few other shortcomings,then take a serious look at the Blackberry Playbook Tablet. It’s smaller,clearer,cheaper,multitasking-er,flash friendly,and all around BETTER than the ipad! While the price hasn’t been announced yet, the playbook is expected to be cheaper as well. The release date isn’t set in stone either, however the goal is sometime early 2011. I know I will be waiting for the release!

100% CHANCE FOR LIFE ON NEWLY FOUND PLANET

Could we have found another Earth, I am surprised about how close it was found. This comes after 2 straight days with a ufo story on cnn, are they trying to tell us something people…lol

Courtesy of cnn.com:

(CNN) — Gliese 581g may be the new Earth.

A team of astronomers from the University of California and the Carnegie Institute of Washington say they’ve found a planet like ours, 20 light years (120 trillion miles) from Earth, where the basic conditions for life are good.

“The chances for life on this planet are 100 percent,” Steven Vogt, a UC professor of astronomy and astrophysics says. “I have almost no doubt about it.”

The planet is three times the size of Earth, but the gravity is similar.

Dr. Elizabeth Cunningham, planetarium astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, says the discovery is a huge deal.

“It could have liquid water on the surface,” she said. “That’s the first step to find life.”
