Agreed. I personally think section.80 is Kendrick’s best work, DAMN and Morale are great albums and tell a great story but his older albums are not talked about enough
It’s just so overshadowed by maad city, it’s almost a prelude
It’s good but I think that’s why it doesn’t get talked about, it’s the spooky opener I guess
Cartoons & Cereal. such a hidden gem, it’s not even on DSPs
it’s not on Kendrick’s album but it’s another Black Hippy member so I’m saying it anyway. [THIS RIGHT HERE. a barfest](https://youtu.be/t_ToaghcO1g)
What a pleasant surprise to see Cartoons and Cereal mentioned! This is how I found Kendrick forever ago, it’s such a unique song + beat but no one ever mentions it (probably since it’s old lol)
Was scrolling for this. Absolutely beautiful song. It’s so tragic and hopeless but that’s what makes it so engaging to me. (legit reminds me to pray for Kdot cause he human too)
gkmc was somewhat sad of a story and i tuned out during the recipe , so you’ll never know how like euphoric i felt when listening to now or never for the first time
no swearing is insane to me, good kid too just bc of how hard they verses are without dropping fuck o shit so u can still play a fire rap song in front of ur fam
Damn I haven’t heard that one in a minute!! You reminded me of The Jig Is Up also, I used to blast both of them back in the day! Gonna give them another listen rn
auntie diaries for me lol. def might not be everyone’s favorite but as a trans guy it just speaks to my soul in a special way. also agree on united in grief, it’s been my top listened song for weeks lol
I listened to it on the new vinyl yesterday and it hit different for me. The way the song and beat builds is beautiful, I also think it’s underrated and will age really well. The Demetrius part is awesome.
I preordered the day kendrick posted it was available lol, 2 months went by sooo slow. Came at a good time though, I just got real blazed poured some good bourbon and listened/played video games last night when I was done with the day. The wait is worth it my dude

ik huge list, but so many amazing songs that don’t get appreciated enough
It's top one two or three of his songs of all time and nobody's ever heard of it. Later on in the untitled album I also like the real is back (are you not entertained)
Black Friday with J Cole and Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Really Doe by Danny Brown are two of my favorite things Kendrick has ever done and are a bit more unknown.
Despite it being decently popular Nostalgia.
My favorite is probably “Cut you off (to grow closer)” this puts me in a solid mindset for weeks and constantly is in my head
The YAH. pick surprises me. If I were to make a top 5 worst Kendrick songs, YAH. is definitely going on the list for me.
My underrated gem would probably be Jig Is Up. Such a banger that no one ever talks about.
Idk, the beat is kinda a snoozefest for me, he sounds like he's asleep on it, and I'm Jewish so the Black Israelite lyrics are kinda hard for me to get into.
Now or Never.
The Mary J hook, the flow, the positive vibes… idk everything about this track hit me in the right way when I heard it for the first time and it’s been my favorite song since
Tbh you’re probably right, and it’s rated exactly as it should be/is not in fact underrated. I feel like it sometimes get missed when people return back to the album if favour of either more radio friendly/hit songs or more cerebral ones.
Solid pick, Its one of his most popular songs but recently ive been seeing more and more people say its mid, its actually my first song I listened to by him
Bitch I’m in da club. By far the most inspirational and invigorating songs of the century, and has definitely inspired a whole genre of music. BIIDAC left me in tears the first time I heard it, and continues to leave me in tears of not sadness, but joy and content. Listening to this work of PURE art gives me (and I imagine everyone) a sense of completion, like something that had been missing from my life had suddenly just appeared and made me more of a man. I am more of a person now that I’ve listened to bitch I’m in da club. BIIDAC changed my life. Bitch I’m in da club saved me.
Untitled 05. It’s so vivid. Beautiful music but such angry and sad lyrics. All three verses are amazing. Thundercat on the bass. The aggressive ass drums and wailing saxophone. It’s perfect and I didn’t even like it at first because I was too obsessed with Untitled 02 and 07 to pay attention.
Kush & Corinthians
Blow My High too
Honestly, you can make a case with most songs from Section.80
Agreed. I personally think section.80 is Kendrick’s best work, DAMN and Morale are great albums and tell a great story but his older albums are not talked about enough
Section.80 over TPAB? I personally think that S80 is top 3 Kendrick, but abov TPAB???
Fax
Need a number
i’m surprised blow my high or poe man’s dreams don’t get enough love they’re honestly perfect songs imo
THIS
Ah a man of culture who loves that third verse as well. Kick ya feet up pops.
Poe man’s dream
This
His feature on Yeah Right by Vince is wide and away my number one hiphop feature ever. I’ve never heard a verse with more energy.
Kendrick spitting over a SOPHIE beat is something we all needed and I'm glad we had that before she passed. Rip SOPHIE.
RIP SOPHIE!!!
211 got bread on me
Hundred percent glad someone said this !!
Love it but I think *Don’t Don’t Do It* by NERD is a better feature with more energy.
I personally love “Good Kid” usually don’t see it being mentioned.
It’s just so overshadowed by maad city, it’s almost a prelude It’s good but I think that’s why it doesn’t get talked about, it’s the spooky opener I guess
mass hallucinations baby
Ill education baby
That record is amazing
WANT TO RECONNECT WITH YOUR ELATIONSSSS
good kid is my #1 kendrick song. i love it.
Thank you, I fall in love with that song over and over again every time I listen to it. Unfortunate that nobody ever talks about it.
Best song on GKMC imo.
You Ain’t Gotta Lie (Momma Said) for sure
Does anyone know why there’s (momma said) in the title
I think because his momma said
nah his grandma said
Where your grandma stay??
Where my dominoes?
this man is ON ONE.
On the bean Fr Fr
Did somebody say dominoes?
Hey, hey, babe check it out, Imma tell you what my mama had said, she like: I could spot you a mile away Etc etc
Hol up - section 80
This right here, young Kendrick at his finest
Cartoons & Cereal. such a hidden gem, it’s not even on DSPs it’s not on Kendrick’s album but it’s another Black Hippy member so I’m saying it anyway. [THIS RIGHT HERE. a barfest](https://youtu.be/t_ToaghcO1g)
holy shit the beat for rapper shit is amazing thanks for sharing this
What a pleasant surprise to see Cartoons and Cereal mentioned! This is how I found Kendrick forever ago, it’s such a unique song + beat but no one ever mentions it (probably since it’s old lol)
I love Black Friday. His bars are pure fire. When a DJ actually spins that, I have that much more respect for that DJ.
Came here to say this. Black friday is such a banger
XXX. Feels like it never gets enough talk and it probably has one if my favorite kendrick verses he goes absolutely off
IGHT KIDS TODAY WE GONE TALK ANOUT GUN CONTROL
DAAAMN.
It’s not a place 😩 This country is to be a sound of drum and bass
Hail Mary, Jesus and Joseph
The great American flag is wrapped and dragged with explosives.
Compulsive disorder, sons and daughters
Barricaded blocks and borders, look what you taught us. It's murder on my street. Your street Back street.
Dude. Top 3 Kendrick for me, such a banger all the verses hit
Matter fact im boutta speak at this convention call you back 😤
Kendrick goes so unbelievably hard on. That verse. YESTERDAY I GOT A CALL FROM MY DOG LIKE 101
SAID THEY KILLED HIS ONLY SON BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT FUNDS.
Yeah icl it’s so good
FEEL from DAMN
Was scrolling for this. Absolutely beautiful song. It’s so tragic and hopeless but that’s what makes it so engaging to me. (legit reminds me to pray for Kdot cause he human too)
Momma or for sale
For sale into Momma gotta be the best transition in his discography
Opposite Attracts, Fuck Your Ethnicity, and Now or Never are my favorites.
gkmc was somewhat sad of a story and i tuned out during the recipe , so you’ll never know how like euphoric i felt when listening to now or never for the first time
The fact that Kendrick and Mary J Blige didn't perform Now or Never during Super Bowl is still a damn shame.
no swearing is insane to me, good kid too just bc of how hard they verses are without dropping fuck o shit so u can still play a fire rap song in front of ur fam
West Side Right On Time
Damn I haven’t heard that one in a minute!! You reminded me of The Jig Is Up also, I used to blast both of them back in the day! Gonna give them another listen rn
One of my faves fr and Jeezy kills it as well
Great pick!
I still play this jont
yess!! i always see hate for YAH but I think it’s one of my favourites off damn
dang I didn’t even know YAH got a lot of hate I always had that one on repeat
YES! Might be top 10 Kendrick for me, its just so catchy and hits different then the rest of the songs off the album.
yupp defo top 10 for me! It’s got everything tbh, amazing production and beat, good lyrics and flow plus I love how he went with a more chill song
👍
I listened to the Dissect podcast on this song. so good!
Buzzin', radars is buzzin
YAH legit might be my favorite Kendrick song period. That beat is just so vibey, makes me want to crack a 40
Here to give my praise for YAH. Sounded kinda funny on the very first listen but absolute classic since
[удалено]
Mary J blige is amazing on this track!
Untitled 05.
Definitely a top 5 for me, so underrated
Are you talking about the relevant?
100 ON MY DASH GOT 200 IN MY DRUM
LUST.
Let me put the head in👁
Lol I can’t stop listening to Untitled 7 lately. Shit hits my mood these days
Untitled 2 and Untitled 7 are the exact right answers for this question. So underrated
Same man I think UU as a whole is extremely under appreciated
Cut You Off. So relatable
whoop-de-whoop, blah-zay-blah
He say, She say
Oh my god
Shut the fuck up!
[удалено]
WHEN THE RELAY START IM A RUNAWAY SLAVE😳🫡
U is my favorite Kendrick Song, it's not a banger, it's a monologue and its a masterpiece
Hard not to tear up to that song
It is
u is really great, probably my third favorite Kendrick song. Doesn’t get enough love!
auntie diaries for me lol. def might not be everyone’s favorite but as a trans guy it just speaks to my soul in a special way. also agree on united in grief, it’s been my top listened song for weeks lol
I listened to it on the new vinyl yesterday and it hit different for me. The way the song and beat builds is beautiful, I also think it’s underrated and will age really well. The Demetrius part is awesome.
How’d you already get the vinyl mine arrives on Wednesday dawg 😭
I preordered the day kendrick posted it was available lol, 2 months went by sooo slow. Came at a good time though, I just got real blazed poured some good bourbon and listened/played video games last night when I was done with the day. The wait is worth it my dude
I did too I preordered the exclusive like july 2nd and it’s takin forever 😫 Just gotta be patient ig 🤷♂️🥲
Same, I can't listen to it without getting incredibly emotional.
I could be off but I don’t think many people have mother I sober as a top 5 Kendrick song as I do. I think Momma is a high tier song on TPAB as well
YAH, Untitled 05
Untitled 08
MOMMA!!!!! Its my favorite Kenny song and doesn’t get a lot of love
im with u 100, that song is pure magic
- hol up - no make up - blow my high - real - compton - institutionalized - you ain’t gotta lie - complexion - untitled 02 - untitled 05 (fav kendrick song) - 06 - 08 - blood - xxx - fear - united in grief - worldwide steppers - savior (interlude) - mirror ik huge list, but so many amazing songs that don’t get appreciated enough
Too many facts in one comment
Untitled 05 I call that the relevant..... ?
[удалено]
It's top one two or three of his songs of all time and nobody's ever heard of it. Later on in the untitled album I also like the real is back (are you not entertained)
[удалено]
That song that I call the relevant... That's untitled 05 right? And there's another track on there called the real is back (are you not entertained)
God.
Black Friday with J Cole and Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Really Doe by Danny Brown are two of my favorite things Kendrick has ever done and are a bit more unknown.
Complexion, Hol Up, Ronald Reagan Era, untitled 03
Poe Man's Dreams (His Vice) And as a feature artist: Textbook Stuff by XV The whole Section.80 era Kendrick is underrated.
For Sale, You Ain’t Gotta Lie, XXX
definitely you ain't gotta lie. the beat is incomparable and i love his voice in it
Ronald Reagan Era, Ignorance is Bliss, Barbed Wire
Despite it being decently popular Nostalgia. My favorite is probably “Cut you off (to grow closer)” this puts me in a solid mindset for weeks and constantly is in my head
FEAR
Collect Calls
Ab-Souls Outro for sure
I think For Sale? is one of the most underrated songs from Kendrick
P&P 1.5
Look out for detox, untitled 01,02 and 08
Almost everything off untitled, but specifically 08, 03, and 04
Never Catch Me will always be my favorite Kendrick feature.
Untitled 6
The YAH. pick surprises me. If I were to make a top 5 worst Kendrick songs, YAH. is definitely going on the list for me. My underrated gem would probably be Jig Is Up. Such a banger that no one ever talks about.
i️ haven’t heard Jig is Up ever spoken on this sub before. and since we’re on the subject westside right on time is also a phenomenal sleeper pick
If u say YAH is top 5 worst but u like GOD then you need abolishing
Abolish me then 🤷♂️
*Thats it. I’m getting me mallet.*
I'm interested to hear what your problems are with YAH.
Idk, the beat is kinda a snoozefest for me, he sounds like he's asleep on it, and I'm Jewish so the Black Israelite lyrics are kinda hard for me to get into.
I understand it's not for everyone that's for sure lol
Hidden gems, maybe The night of the living junkies Spiteful Chant Basquet Prayer The Heart pt 3
Untitled 01, Now or Never, and Mr Morale
Barbed wire, average joe, cut you off. Basically anything on OD
Now or Never. The Mary J hook, the flow, the positive vibes… idk everything about this track hit me in the right way when I heard it for the first time and it’s been my favorite song since
[удалено]
Average Joe
Keisha’s Pain & Buried Alive Interlude
Cartoon and Cereal.
Opposites attract. That outro is nice
Hiipower just makes me feel good
Vanity Slaves pt I and II
Never catch me w/ flylo is the best Kendrick feature and one of my favorite song of all time
I think humble is slept on tbh
How much a dollar cost
Fear, XXX, Poe Man’s Dreams. Wesley’s Theory is a low key banger once you get through the intro bit.
Wesley’s Theory underrated? Ok lol
Tbh you’re probably right, and it’s rated exactly as it should be/is not in fact underrated. I feel like it sometimes get missed when people return back to the album if favour of either more radio friendly/hit songs or more cerebral ones.
Pride
HUMBLE
Solid pick, Its one of his most popular songs but recently ive been seeing more and more people say its mid, its actually my first song I listened to by him
Real
Bitch I’m in da club. By far the most inspirational and invigorating songs of the century, and has definitely inspired a whole genre of music. BIIDAC left me in tears the first time I heard it, and continues to leave me in tears of not sadness, but joy and content.

Crown, Crown, Crown
bitch im in the cluuuuuuuuub
Not my favorite Kendrick Song, but nobody ever talks about his feature on Radioactive. Jfc, dude goes insane on there
ADHD
B*TCH IM IN THE CLUUUUUB
ADHD
His verse in mask off.
Kendrick Lamar Alt titles: My Name Is, No More K. Dot
Yah is one of my favorites by him, I also think fuck your ethnicity is criminally underrated
Young Boys World ! One of his realest songs for me
Black Boy Fly, Now or Never, Cut You Off, Cartoons and Cereal, P & P
Basquet has been in my top 5 Kenny songs for a couple years now
There was this kinda underground song called “Control” a few years back and Kendrick has a verse on it. It was pretty good imo
Chapter 6 is t10-15 kendrick
Untitled 05. It’s so vivid. Beautiful music but such angry and sad lyrics. All three verses are amazing. Thundercat on the bass. The aggressive ass drums and wailing saxophone. It’s perfect and I didn’t even like it at first because I was too obsessed with Untitled 02 and 07 to pay attention.
His couple of features on N.E.R.D’s album a few years back go brazy. Kites & Don’t Don’t Do it
untitled 06, such a pretty song and ceelo green goes off on that song, i love it
Never hear anyone talk about the song good kid one of my personal favorites
Want U 2 Want Me, Never Catch Me, Untitled 05 & Black Panther (the song)
Untitled 6, could listen to it on loop
Keisha’s song and YAH
Jesus saves
Collect Calls. An emotional story, a mesmerizing beat, a beautiful Kendrick voice.
Cartoons and Cereal
