Wow this is a tough one

Imma have to go Sing About Me all things considered but APITDA is arguably the best rap song of the 2020s rn

APIDTA

Eyes fiery, cry tears to my diary
Sometimes a Xanny bar can't help you fight back the anxiety
I go to my Lord quietly, teardrops on our faces
Teardrops on my face, it's like teardrops become waterfalls by the time they reach my laces
My eyelids is like levees but my tear ducts is like glaciers
As I contemplate creation, the salt that heals my wounds pour out my eyes just like libations
I can't stop my mind from racing, I got numbers on my phone
Pictures on my phone

The day my mama died, I scrolled her texts all day long
The physical returns but the connection still stay strong
Now I understand why you used to cry sometimes we ride down Claybourne
You just missed your— You just missed your mama
Now I just miss my mamas
The clothes we wear to bed at night to sleep is just pajamas
The flesh we roam this earth in is a blessing, not a promise
I bow with those who bow to the creator and pay homage

Sleep well
Lately, I haven't been sleepin' well
I even hit the beach to soak my feet and skip some seashells
Sleep well
The lump inside my throat sometimes just towers like the Eiffel
Sometimes I wonder do the trees get sad when they see leaves fell
Sleep well
The last time that I kissed you, you felt cold but you looked peaceful
I read our message thread when I get low and need a refill
Sleep well
Sleep well, sleep well
Lately, I haven't been sleeping well, sleeping well

Actually both

Pitting two bad b****es against each other sucks but im going with APIDTA

Both.

Sing about me

jay did his thing no doubt tho. i just gotta go with kendrick. Sing about me hit sifferent. The dying of thirst section too good. Can rap that s*** without listening to it too.

APIDTA

Both 10’s but it’s the same for me. Sing About Me one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard.

i got.. numbers in my phone that'll never ring again

APIDTA is a f***ing amazing song

And I love Sing About Me, but I’ve never really been a fan of Dying of Thirst. Them not being separate songs always kinda annoyed me

I’m just talking about Sing About Me here. That’s why I only posted the Sing About Me portion here.

Both

Now what

Cop out

If that’s the case then yeah Sing About Me is probably better overall

Production
The hook
Kendrick’s intricate flows
The shock value of the end of the 1st verse
Connection to Keisha’s Song in the 2nd verse

It’s definitely more of an impactful song

I love APIDTA and I think a Written Testimony is super underrated though.

Honestly the best part about APIDTA is hearing Jay go that deep because it definitely does not happen often.

Real tough Both convey strong emotions, one through simplicity and the other through complexity.

Gonna have to go with Sing about me, live with that song longer

Sing about me easily

Apidta but sing about me is incredible as well
