Kendrick Lamar vs. Foo Fighters (feat. Janet Garcia‪)‬ CrossFade: The Dueling Album Review Show

Welcome MinnMax cohort, streamer, writer, critic, and former teacher Janet Garcia (https://twitter.com/gameonysus) to CrossFade!

Foo Fighters was one of the bands that helped Janet discover music outside of hip-hop, so “In Your Honor” holds a really important place in her heart (and her running playlist). Matt’s pick, Kendrick Lamar’s breakthrough “good kid, m.A.A.d city” is a stunningly stylized masterwork of Compton rap storytelling. It’s so well-written, Janet even used it to teach an English class once. All that plus a bunch of great community questions in the back half of the episode!
