15 years ago today, Kendrick Lamar released his debut album 'Section.80' via TDE Records.
A month later, Snoop Dogg passed the torch of West Coast rap into the hands of the then-24-year-old Kendrick. The metaphorical passing happened at The Box Theatre in LA among other West Coast legends Dr. Dre, Kurupt, Daz, and Warren G.
