Lmao, you need to expand your taste if this is one of the illest verses you've heard. All he did that made it memorable was drop a bunch of name of artists that were huge. It's like when 50 Cent dropped "How to Rob" before he was famous as a play to steal the shine of more successful people, but at least when 50 did it, he had a creative concept layered around the name drops. Other than that this verse is weak. The flow was boring af, the rhyme scheme was simple and Jay Electronica smokes him lyrically. It's ironic how Kendrick's diehard fans credit him as some anti-mainstream, unique pioneer when really he's pretty much the same and pushed by the same machine
@@donzino5772 he disses Big Sean & Jay Electron(ic) in the same line. All 3 of them made this song it was clearly playful but subtly serious lyrics since he’s just trying to push everybody to do better in music
wait til coast contra gets on everyone's radar. I think Eric Jamal could hang with with kendrick any day of the week already. Look up the coast contra come up freestyle. more bars then the las vegas strip. they'll be legends. mark my words. respect to kendrick cuz this line was hard, not trying to down play it.
I am old school, hard stuck on the 90's, 00's and until 2010 but Kendrick somewhat pulled me out and made me listen to modern rap and goddamn color me impressed. It's not mumble rap, it's not auto tune rap, it's not shit. It is gold in poetry, the lyrics, beautifully constructed, not overly gangster but true to the culture.
In response, Mac said in one of his songs off Faces mixtape "No control, fuck Ken Lamar" He took it as a nod and as a friend. Drake took offense tho lol
His response on twitter was fucking hilarious. "If I can't do no more nouns or verbs ima start comin with the wildest adjective bars that anyone has ever heard" 😂😂😂 RIP.
I still listen to this song til this day, i will never forget how or when i first heard bout thia song. Everyone on twitter were going crazy bout thw song and found it and i was like Yo!!!!!
I loved that Big K.R.I.T. followed J. Cole's name cuz Krit's been slept on forever. He responded with "Mount Olympus" too and it was prob the best response anyone made to that verse.
Did J Cole and Drake diss Kendrick over this verse? This is not a Kendrick diss, he’s showing respect. The way I understood it. He called out all the rappers and then some, letting them know that you are a threat and I’m trying to murder you. This is good competition. He didn’t even diss the newer rappers. He just said don’t get involved. Those idiots were seeking attention and decided to bait Kendrick with a sneak diss by calling out the Big 3 when there was only 2 of them. Kendrick took the bait and ate them up- leaving no crumbs.
I have always loved this song since it dropped and it's just now being blown up by RUclipsrs KEEP IT PUSHIN WE NEED PEOPLE TO REALIZE THIS IS WHAT RAP AND HIP HOP NEEDS NOT MORE TIKTOK STARS
It makes me sad how long ago this was and I remember exactly the energy this verse brought to the game. It was senior year of high school for me. Where the hell is time flying
@@tyrone-dh6iy no he doesn't he says Mac Miller And that would make sense since Mac was living in LA already at this time and they worked together all the time
I have to disagree. Everyone was just trying to make “hits” and not spit actual bars before this. It was slowly falling into this mainstream hit kinda thing. Once this verse dropped so many rappers stepped up and put a bit more effort into their bars
@@treymartin2601 then why is it that literally the year after this song is when rap became way more elementary 2014 and 2015 were when some of the least lyrical rappers of all time came out Rappers who already lyrical maybe stepped up their game, but it didn't change shit in hip hop
@@Francis_Higgins every rapper is always trying their best g. I’m not saying this one verse turned other rappers into grammy nominees. It raised the standard of what modern day hip hop can potentially be when you focus on the craft and not on the potential hit. You can’t tell me that everyone was not talking about this one verse. Everybody in the industry was talking about it. And to this day, it’s still talked about. How he called everyone out out of love, but respectfully stating “this is competition” So many rappers responded to him in interviews, east coast rappers reacting even tho he’s from the west. It literally shook the game up. You can disagree with me. And that’s fine, but the results themselves tho. Kendrick has upmost respect when it comes to music. The guy is literally having fun with Baby Keem now because he’s untouchable in that regard.
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both, if y'all don't know this song y'all way too young to be even talk about it he really did jump start the rap game again
Can't believe this verse shaped modern hip-hop, birthing the era of the big three - the most lyrical J Cole, the most conscious Kendrick and the most versatile Drake. Personally, I love, respect and admire each of these rappers. The fact that a friendly love-hate contest between the three changed Hip Hop forever 🤣🙏🙏🙏
@@PSNSJrstoryteller maybe, lyricism goes to Cole unanimously though. Kendrick doesn’t have a better verse from a technician standpoint better than Jonny P’s Cassidy or dead presidents remix 2 by Cole.
He did piss a lot of rappers off though. I remember how dramatic it was. Rappers were mad that were mentioned, but the funnier part was other rappers were pissed off that didn't get mentioned. This verse pissed so many famous rappers off at the time lol
Not sure why this is such an anti-Kendrick comment section but you guys need to realize that it didn't DIRECTLY alter the course of hip hop history. What it did was get a LOT of buzz going for Kendrick Lamar, an artist who has been on top of the hip hop world for a decade and HAS changed hip hop forever. Whether or not you like Kendrick Lamar this verse kind of legitimized the success of good kid maad city
I remember going absolutely bonkers when this came out. Everyone was amazed and flabbergasted by Kendrick. Niggas made edits to where it was only Kendrick on the beat. This was truly a stroke of art and is timeless.
@@Top10-n2s6o Kendrick is a weak rapper, name drops don't make you good. You could literally do the same thing anyone could, the verse isn't special. You couldn't recite one bar from it without looking it up. Kendricks is hyped by the media and interscope

Didn't he say he wanted to be great like j,naz,and 3000
