Kendrick Lamar - Backseat Freestyle
Artist: Kendrick Lamar
Producer: Hit-Boy
Album: good kid, m.A.A.d city
Label: TDE/Aftermath/Interscope
Currently sitting at number on on the Booth’s own Rap Chart, Compton was as much of an event as it was a record, featuring Kendrick Lamar trading bars with G-funk pioneer Dr. Dre over a beat whose vocoded flourishes seemed designed to evoke 2Pac‘s classic California Love. It’s tough to top the epic scope of a cut like that—so, wisely, Kendrick Lamar isn’t trying. Instead, for the latest song release off the set, he’s inviting listeners to look on as he spits an off-the-cuff Backseat Freestyle. Here, Hit-Boy‘s clattering, reverb-drenched rhythms set the stages for verses which find Lamar going dumb in the flyest fashion possible. On the memorable hook, he crows, “I pray my d**k get big as the Eiffel Tower, / So I can f**k the world for 72 hours.” Feeling it? You’ll be able to find this braggadocious jam and plenty more where it came from on good kid m.A.A.d city, set to drop this coming Monday via Top Dawg/Aftermath/Interscope. Click here to pre-order the highly-anticipated set.

Kendrick always come hard with his flow. Not really a fan of this beat though. A little too repetitious. Expecting more from his album!

Can't believe I forgot to rate when this first came out....
Amazing track. Hit-Boy was the best producer of 2012 and Kendrick was the best rapper. This is like the 2012 version of A Milli. A standout track on a standout album. Classic Video was dope too haha |

I hope most of you realize that this song his pretty much what he would freestyle as a kid. This whole album is consistent of his childhood troubles and memories.
