Kendrick revealed the meaning of the title in an interview with L.A. Leakers, saying:

It’s two, two meanings. The first is ‘my angry adolescence divided,’ and the basic standout meaning is ‘my angel’s on angel dust.’ That’s the reason why I don’t smoke,” he said. “That was me. I got laced. The reason I don’t smoke, and it’s in the album. It’s in the story. It was just me getting my hands on the wrong thing at the wrong time, being oblivious to it.
Good Kid: M.A.A.D. City is a classic, already. Kendrick Lamar (aka K. Dot) drops his first studio album with Dr. Dre & it's an instant hit. The album is the first in a long time that I can play straight through without skipping.

On August 2nd, 2012, Kendrick commented on the album’s sound, saying:
Kendrick Lamar Good Kid Maad City Download
I couldn’t tell you what type of sound or where I’ma be in the next five years as far as music. It’s a big difference from the next project compared to the last. And that’s what happened with this album. Going back to the neighbourhood and going to different spots, chilling with my homeboys, put me back in that same space where we used to be, bringing back them thoughts, reminiscing how I was feeling. I got myself right back in that mode and I got inspired by that. So this album won’t sound like Section.80. Completely nothing like it.
On August 15th, 2012, Lady Gaga tweeted that she was a feature on the album, on a song called “Partynauseous”. However, soon after, on August 23rd she tweeted, saying the song was delayed. Eventually, the song was completely cancelled. In an interview with Complex, Kendrick said:
Lady GaGa was going to be on the song. We had a date, but we had to meet the deadline for the pre-order date. That’s just the business side coming through and messing things up. But you know it’s God’s plan. I’m not really too tight about it because I know we have something special.
The song became the album’s second track, titled “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe”. On November 8th, Lady Gaga decided to release the version of the song featuring her. Regarding this, in an interview with XXL, Kendrick said:
I didn’t even know she was gonna put that out. That was a surprise. I thought she was gonna hold that in the can. I was cool with it. It showed people we wasn’t playin’ with it; we was actually in the studio vibing out when we recorded. For her to put it out even undone, that says a lot. That says she’s confident not only about her work, but my work.

7digitalWhat we said:Following in the footsteps of forbearers Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Rick Ross, this year Kendrick Lamar became the latest of Dr Dre’s protégés to deliver the goods. Thematically, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City plundered the light and shade of his upbringing on the streets of Compton, and those extremes were mirrored in the music. From the laid-back swing of 'Money Trees', to the murky, T-Minus-produced 'Swimming Pools (Drank)' – where the 25 year old’s rapid-fire flow was redolent of vintage André 3000 – it was astonishing listening.
