Section 80 references the Reagan era, and economic policies promoted as a feasible solution for a dwindling economy. Although Reaganomics were supposedly structured to improve the socioeconomic condition via a "trickle down" theory, it resulted in the exact opposite for those directly effected by its legislation. Kendrick Lamar (sounds like:Tanya Morgan) is a child of these times, and uses his experiences as a platform to musically establish himself in hip hop. Despite the common and cliche bitch/ho/nigga references, Lamar possesses a hungriness evident on tracks like "HiiPower", reminiscent to Kanye West and his College Dropout era. "Hol' Up" is flight music, airy and light with just the right amount of horns and ego-based encouragement to uplift any listener. "Chapter Six" is a funky interlude outlining the struggle of a generation directly effected by this time in history. "Blow My High" is a quick favorite, not only because of the initial and classic Pimp C reference, but the unique homage paid to two R&B icons we tragically lost when Lamar was just 13 and 14 years old. "Kush and Corinthians" and "Poe Man's Dreams" are dark and musically uninviting, but tell the tragic truth of an 80's baby, as he affectionately refers to himself, and those like him. Wisdom can come in any form, at any age, and Kendrick Lamar displays a fervor and a knowledge base which makes his message more notable than his beats.
