      Easily my favorite from TPAB yeah. I get where Riley is coming from with the beat but that's because it's like a song condemning his ego hidden as a flex song, plus there's like 50 different interpolations on it that are woven in so well that they're not even noticeable unless u look them up, which also kinda feels like a response to the whole "I've done this shit by myself" that Kendrick is leaning into on the song when the reality is that he is very much not doing everything by himself

    Best song is absolutely Wesley's Theory. Best feature for me is Really Doe, Danny Brown. There's so much energy and that hook along with all the other features are just so good.

      This is my #3 for Kendrick I think, his verse on the THat Part remix and his verse on Wat's Wrong by Isaiah Rashad both are a bit better features IMO but they're all insanely close
