Cartoons & Cereal by Kendrick Lamar (feat. Gunplay)

[MUST-HAVE]

There’s something about Kendrick Lamar that makes me excited about the future of hip-hop. After a spectacular debut LP in Section.80, which ranked 13th on our best albums of 2011, Lamar promised he’d make a quick return to the mic. The 24-year-old Compton native has a knack for being progressive, and this new 7-minute epic, “Cartoons & Cereal”, is no exception. This new cut by Lamar is a wide-ranging piece that features a dagger-like flow and retrospectives of childhood, as evidenced by frequent references to Scrooge McDuck and Elmer Fudd. Just before an uzi-esque, hi-hat-driven beat takes over, Kendrick, through pitch-changed vocalizations, spits some impressively vivid lines, “You told me, ‘Don’t be like me, just finish watching cartoons,’ which is funny now because all I see are wily coyotes in the world.”
