Disrespectful lol

Nahh i think the duet gives it that hit factor
They both dropped a bunch of solo songs and none r hittin like this

King s***

Real music

kendrick alone makes n95 not luther

Kendrick alone makes All the Stars. Did SZA carry him then too?

Not sure if this is a serious post or not. Sza's chorus is literally the thing that propelled this song into the level of popularity it reached

And it was written by Kendrick. Certain rappers need their hooks/choruses/even their verses written by their features and producers to get a hit. Kendrick doesn't need the same assistance, how is he getting carried?

Because getting ''carried'' doesn't relate to who it was written by or who instructed people to do certain things during certain parts. It's solely related to popularity so yes, Sza did carry. Not that Kendrick doesn't sound good on it. But she's the reason why it became as big as it became

SZA carried Kendrick in 2018, even though Kendrick had just sold 603 000 fw his last album in 2017 while SZA sold 60 000 fw her last album the same year. Literally 10x less sales but you're trying to say she carried him like he was some unknown artist

Kendrick wrote the part, recorded it with the cadence and everything. He could've gotten Kilo Kish, Jhene Aiko, any female vocalist to do her part. He didn't need SZA specifically for the song, SZA didn't make the song big. If you're going to hate, at least use some logic while doing it

Someone doesn't know how big Sza was after ctrl lol. All good though.

All the stuff you just said is pointless by the way. Literally no one claimed Kendrick wasn't big, popular or that he couldn't do anything on his own. It's JUST about this particular song where she carried it to the absolute top with her chorus. Ask any casual to mention something they remember from the song and they will all say Sza's part

I'm well aware that Ctrl brought SZA to the mainstream, but are you trying to say in 2018 when All the Stars dropped, she was bigger than Kendrick Lamar? Surely you aren't that stupid.

And SZA's chorus can be attributed to Kendrick Lamar because again, he wrote it, even recorded the way it should be sung. So any female vocalist other than SZA could have been on the song. The song including SZA's chorus does not come into existence without Kendrick Lamar, the same can't be said about SZA

A football terorist and the goat of tenis and future President of Real Madrid

They think Kendrick writing the hook of the song means that if he sang it himself, it'd have been as successful lol.

Nobody said she was bigger than Kendrick. You are once again just yapping without reading what anyone is trying to teach you.

Sza has endless amounts of beautiful choruses without Kendrick's help, trying to claim that something as good or better couldn't happen with his input is just hilarious

Also, as I told you. No one gives a rat's ass about the stuff you mentioned. They only care about how beautiful her chorus sounds, and that's what made the song THAT popular. That is what people are talking about when saying she carried. It's about popularity, nothing else.

Literally said he could've achieved the same result with any other female vocalist. Y'all just salty because your Papi's hook on his current biggest hit was written by his producer

Kendrick is a star in his own right, no one is debating that but SZA is loved on pop radio. Her songs tend to have massive longevity on radio: see Snooze, Kill Bill and Saturn — songs that spent months in the Hot 100 top 10 partly because of how reluctant radio was to let them go.

SZA is a star too, man. Her first arena tour grossed more than Kendrick's biggest tour yet and she played like 10 fewer shows than Kendrick lol. Her two studio albums have each sold over 6M units. She isn't some small fish. She very much helps Kendrick by being on Luther and is a huge reason why Luther is the biggest song off GNX.

Again, no one is saying Kendrick needs SZA to be successful, but them working together definitely helps him out and overall, is a look that benefits them both. I don't know how anyone can argue that.

What was SZA doing on that chorus that couldn't have been done by Jhene Aiko, Beyonce or any other female vocalist? Saying she carried a song because of a chorus that was written for her with a tutorial on how to sing it on a bigger artist's song is stupid

By that logic, Elkan carried Nokia because the hook is clearly the best and most beloved part of the song

Argue with the people saying she carrying him then. I agree with you

No, ''any other female vocalist'' couldn't just do what Sza did. Did seriously you just claim that it's the lyrics that matter on a pop chorus, not the voice and vocals of the artist?

Aight man I'm done, some of you guys can't be saved

I don't think anyone knows how the verses on All the Stars go. Most fans probably can't recite them. All anyone knows or cares about is the chorus because that's the heart of the song and the best part of it and it's OKAY lol.

She's not doing anything crazy with her voice and vocals, she not hitting Mariah Carey notes. Literally could be sung by any artist with A Color's Show video on YouTube

Outside of Taylor Swift, SZA is the bestselling female artist in the US since 2017 and she's only dropped 2 albums since then lol.

Who is more essential for that chorus? Kendrick who wrote and even recorded a reference for it? Or SZA who sang the same lyrics Kendrick wrote with the same delivery as Kendrick on the reference track?

Exactly lmao. As I told that guy, Kendrick did sound good on it. Nobody is claiming anything else. But he is far from the most memorable act on the song. It would have been popular without SZA but she took it and made it one of the most popular songs in recent times and - as you said - that's OKAY. It's not a critique of Kendrick.

This all started with someone saying SZA carrying Kendrick, Kendrick makes N95 when he's alone, I refuted that by pointing out he actually wrote SZA's chorus on All the Stars and gave her a tutorial on how to sing it. Then you Drake stans started shifting goalposts with popularity and all this other s***

The point is, she's not carrying Kendrick. All the Stars needed Kendrick more than it needed SZA
