Kendrick Lamar Mad City
I have found there most be different pressings of this album. There is only the one USA and UK pressings listed but there most be others. I weighed each copy and found they are different records entirely!
One copy the LP1 weighed in close to 174gram, the other copy's LP1 weighed in at 140grams. The odd thing was that each copy had the exact same 174gram LP2, it is like they cut corners by only changing the weight on LP1 but for some reason not messing with LP2. 53720470-A 131483E1/D is the runout number for the 180gram pressing. II B0017695-01LP01-A Ⓤ is the 140gram pressing. The artwork is also slightly different with the 180gram - it looks like it has a more balanced color pallet and the copy that is less weight has an overall yellow tint to the artwork. When compared side to side the slightly yellowed cover looks bad. Good Kid m.A.A.d City is one of the greatest hip-hop albums within the last 10 years.
The lyrics and production of this album is so engrossing that you feel you're right there with Kendrick while he's telling his story. This album was really the beginning of the Kendrick Lamar phenomenon which has propelled him into one of Hip-Hop's modern greats. I can't recommend this album enough, this album has too many standout tracks to list, even the bonus tracks are fantastic. Overall I'm a little underwhelmed with this pressing, it's just really quiet. I agree with other comments here, it does seem to lack higher frequencies. I didn't have any problems with surface noise which was nice, and the quality was clear. I was hoping the US original would deliver with its sound quality.
PPSSPP also provides access to a store which includes free PSP game demos which it can download and then emulate. Also inside the store are homebrew games and applications which can be downloaded and emulated on a Windows system. Ppsspp gold windows 10 free.
