For this week’s episode of Hellafine Fridays, it’s another Special Edition, with The Arrival Of Kendrick Lamar. Paying homage to those mid-90′s Mister Cee mixtapes like The Best Of Biggie and The Best Of Redman, this “tape” collects many of the b-sides, remixes, and collaborations from Kendrick Lamar from the last year. I choose the title The Arrival Of Kendrick Lamar for two reasons 1) I always thought those “Best Of” titles were a bit inaccurate, because these tapes were usually made up of all of the tracks the artist threw away. 2) 2012 was the year Kendrick Lamar truly “arrived”, so this mix respects that. Along with all of the blog bangers, there’s also a few exclusive Pizzo edits and some Trap remixes as well. Fully mixed and blended. None of that broken-glass-sound-effect-as-a-transition-bullshit.
