Timelines Involved

Analysis

Track 8 on good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar.
In a complex article about good kid, m.A.A.d city he explains that this song is the aggressive side of Compton everyone knows. He also explains the meaning of the title,
“'m.A.A.d city' has two meanings; My Angel on Angel Dust and My Angry Adolescence Divided. If you listen to the album [you’ll find out] the reason why I don’t smoke weed. Because once upon a time, you’d find stuff laced with cocaine [and angel dust]. That caused a reaction and I put that inside the song. That really happened to me. That’s the reason for the title."
MC Eiht said that most rappers don't pay respect to the older generation so when he heard that Kendrick was bumping his music it made him happy to be apart of the album.
In a conversation with Rick Rubin he said he was surprised that m.A.A.d city was the most popular song though he did say it was one of his personal favorites on the album.
