Music and lyrics[edit]

Section.80 is a concept album that involves the lives of Tammy and Keisha as it explains the personal hardships in their lives. 'Tammy's Song (Her Evils)' revolves around two girls cheating on their boyfriends after discovering they were unfaithful, and eventually sleeping with each other because they can't trust men. 'Keisha's Song (Her Pain)' is about a prostitute who seeks comfort and control, only to her demise. Lamar explains that Section.80 is for people born in the 1980s until now as he dwells on a variety of subjects, such as referencing Ronald Reagan and discussing how the crack epidemic occurred in the 80s. He explains how this is part of the reason drugs are popular for his Generation (e.g. drug dealing and drug addicts.) 'A.D.H.D' addresses the high drug and medication tolerance of people born during the Reagan era. 'Kush & Corinthians' notes that justice and morals are rarely cut and dried.^[6]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 80, based on 11 reviews.^[7] Andres Tardio of HipHopDX wrote that Lamar 'may have been searching for answers, but that journey allowed him to find out of this year's most outstanding albums with Section.80.'^[11] Tom Breihan of Pitchfork believed that, 'self-serious flaws and all, Section.80 still stands as a powerful document of a tremendously promising young guy figuring out his voice.'^[13] In the opinion of XXL journalist Adam Fleischer, the record reveals 'its author's brain is neither lost nor useless, as he weaves together carefully constructed thoughts before spewing raps on each of the project's 16 tracks, ensuring nothing is disposable or without purpose.'^[16] David Amidon from PopMatters compared Lamar to a Ice Cube early in his career, as 'he's only telling us what he sees, and while he might not offer solutions as often as [Ice Cube] did, he's certainly able to paint us vivid a picture.'^[14]

Pitchfork placed the album at number 45 on its list of the 'Top 50 albums of 2011'.^[17]Complex named the album the 7th best album of 2011.^[18] In honor of Section.80's fifth anniversary, Forbes columnist Ogden Payne wrote an article explaining how the album had propelled Lamar into 'hip-hop royalty', deeming it 'the genesis to Kendrick Lamar successfully balancing social commentary with mass appeal, while simultaneously laying the foundation for his label as King Kendrick'.^[19]NME placed the album at number three on their list of '101 Albums To Hear Before You Die' in 2014.^[20]
