Outside of the name dropping, Kendrick verse is nothing special. One of the most overrated verses of all time.
simply put
Jay electronica literally just says big words to make people go
why do people try to perpetuate this myth lol
Niggas buggin
Everybody was talking about that when it dropped. That’s saying a lot considering Kendrick style of rapping isn’t what’s poppin nowadays
All of a sudden niggas wanna care about bars and wanna pick apart Kendrick verse bc he wasn’t spittin crazy punchlines or whatever. The energy he had on that verse was partially why it had people hype. He sounded so hungry
Plus it was a big statement at that point in his career. He was still new to the public, GKMC was out, and people were already saying he was one of the best rappers out during that time
The whole world flipped out about that verse.
The only 2 people who say it wasnt anything just happen to be one of the dudes that got washed in the track and one of the people mentioned in the verse that got in his lil feelings
Yeah a lot of revisionist mentality going on here for sure
it’s overrated cos alot of ppl say its one of kendricks best verses when it lyrically isnt even top 10 features, let alone verse to me.
cant deny its impact though, and its a very lazy criticism when saying kendrick doesnt ‘say anything’ lol
why do people try to perpetuate this myth lol
What does he say in his songs?
U just dont relate to his subject matter
You have to relate to something to like it? Lol
Verse was "nothing special" yet we still talking about it
You have to relate to something to like it? Lol
I would say no, but if u really think he's talking bout nothing then I guess so

Ok let me reiterate, he regurgitates things
kendrick did have the worst verse when taken out of context but it was very clearly the most impactful
