Album You Need: Kendrick Lamar's 'Section.80'
![While the Internet salivated over an <a href="http://nahright.com/news/2011/07/04/kanye-west-jay-z-watch-the-throne-cover/" target="_blank">album cover</a> (an album that has produced one song that was both terrible and forgettable), the best rap album of 2011 — thus far — had been available for purchase two days before. Kendrick Lamar quietly dropped <em>Section.80</em> on iTunes late Friday night, and to sleep on it would be mistake. The West Coast rapper has gained blog traction thanks to a dexterous flow, but it's how he uses it that really inspires. With each song, Lamar challenges himself to not only tell a story, but to also attack the beat in ways lesser rappers simply wouldn't consider. He's a rapper's rapper like Outkast's Big Boi — the joy is in the execution, and the payoff is a finished product unmistakably their own. The big news surrounding Lamar is he's working with Dr. Dre on something called <em>Detox</em>, but his story is more interesting than a guest verse on a mythical project. Like many others, he's a proud, young black man finding his voice in America (a topic touched directly and indirectly all over <em>Section.80</em>), but he has a gift very few possess, and it comes across in his rhymes. Watch his video for Hiii Power, produced by J. Cole, below.](http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-07/353052960-05074756.jpg "While the Internet salivated over an <a href="http://nahright.com/news/2011/07/04/kanye-west-jay-z-watch-the-throne-cover/\" target=\"_blank\">album cover</a> (an album that has produced one song that was both terrible and forgettable), the best rap album of 2011 — thus far — had been available for purchase two days before.
