      But how does Kendrick get the numbers to add up? Wouldn't he have to craft a verse to be a specific length in seconds when narrated? This is crazy and makes me believe Kendrick can't be a regular human.

    Kendrick Lamar's the only rapper I've seen consistently do this with numbers, some of Coles schemes are crazy too but speaking from the perspective of someone who writes it's insanely difficult to set something up based around a time restriction and somehow keep it on topic and put that into a rhyme scheme....

    • @lungilemake8424

      "In a minute" appears arbitrary because of its colloquial use.
      Like when I say, "Imma show you your flaw in a minute," it is not literal. It's just translation for, " I'll tell you later."
      In conclusion, the fact that he followed it up is just impressive because it's one of the slept on details. He was locked in with the song, rhyme schemes, and flows that he picked up what he hinted after a minute, that smoothly.

    something about this, like when a character says this action takes 15 minutes and it actually takes 15 minutes in the movie, is oddly satisfying. maybe it stems from our preference of punctuation?

    This man is absolutely a legend. What the fuck. I can’t believe he puts so much effort into stuff 85% of people won’t notice.
