    Love

    Do you know if he wrote the hooks for Element, Lust and Yah?

    I know he did for God but didn’t for Loyalty, Love, Pride.

    He wrote all those songs. The only songwriter credits in his songs are all featured.

    From section 80 to DAMN there hasn’t been a writer that wasn’t featured.

    On every other song that he appears on solo, he is the only writer. The other people credited for writing are the producers and top dawg for some records on damn.

    Word okay that’s dope. Speaking of Ye Did you know with MBDTF a lot of those songs the hooks stemmed from the sample?

    Oh yeah and also for “God” he already had that hook in his head with no beat. And he tried laying it on different beats to see which one worked best

    Also you don’t count coming up with melodies as writing? Cus Dahi did that for Yah as well

    “YAH. was from a session we did in New York. We literally just had a jam session and just started to go in and make a bunch of beats. I’d get on the mic and I’d start humming melodies and they’d be like, “Oh, I like that part.” We kept that one part and after that Kendrick started to write. I remember that night we had all sat down and listened to albums. You know what I’m saying? Just listened to music. From there we just said, “Alright cool, we got this. Let’s go in and let’s just start having a jam session.” We made like 20 records that night. We had like 20 ideas and that was the one that stuck.

    That’s a slippery slope. I don’t know. I would personally give him writers credit though but I don’t know how that work when it comes to melodies

    Alright I just listened to the Dissect Podcast with him and he said that he came up with the first melody where Kendrick is rapping "I got so many theories and suspicions"

    He also said that Kendrick came up with the lyrics for his part on Loyalty and him and Kendrick came up with the melody for his part together and Kendrick decided to keep his part on there
