Kendrick is also the only guy who's been on a track with Ab Soul and held his own. Ab-Soul coached Kendrick on lyricism back when he was still K-Dot. He gave him a lot of his own techniques lol. In my honest opinion, Ab-Soul is a far better writer than Kendrick. His genius covers a lot of material, he has a good amount of universal knowledge. I mean Kendrick raps about Compton and it's dope, Ab-Soul raps about the apocalypse, other dimensions, and other abstract material. You be the judge.
yead Kendrick has the hooks (which is arguably just as important as the bars as far as gaining massive amounts of success) and his content is a lot more relatable than Soul. both of those are huge factors
Ab Soul didn't teach Kendrick anything lol I can send you a video of soulo talking about what kendrick did for him when he first joined TDE. This comment looks even sillier after to pimp a butterfly but we can go back to songs like rigamortis and he for sure wrote about more than compton.
ab soul and kendrick are so close in comparison sometimes... i feel like they are the two who could sit in a room and record a classic album with eachother in one day. some of their songs have sounded so similar to me that it literally looked like soul wrote it for kendrick or vice versa
Let's just be honest here, this is the best rap song ever recorded. Also,I do NOT stand to be corrected. Long Live Kendrick and Soul! You brothers kept me sane and motivated! Much love brothers!
I can even lie, Ab-Soul sometimes has the better metaphors overall. And Kendrick has the better flow and delivery, I think them niggas are on the same level, and I enjoy hearing em on a track together
KENDRICK LAMAR and AB-SOUL lyrically and song wise they are the best right about now in HIP POP, SCHOOL BOY Q and JAY ROCK doing their thing they go hard, if u wana know true HIP POP go get all their MIXTAPES N ALBUMS and buy watt u can to SUPPORT.... (Y)
It refers to a line that can be taken in more than one way. For example, "I'm blacked out from head to sole." means the person saying it is wearing all black from head to toe, or instead you could turn "sole" into "soul" which would mean that the has not soul/ heart.
i thank its disrespect when ppl compare MCs sayin dis person better than dat person,STOP belittle artists don't discredit MCs.....enjoy the music n shut up
I love the Kendrick and Soul combo..they compliment each other and bring the best out of each other
i got a appetite for habitual liars on the mic who with pliers but couldn't get a grip on life. the hottest bar
3rd Party Naa bruh... ‘ wit my back against the wall I can see y’all frontin.’
Straight up RAPPING. No bars, no hooks, just pure lyrical talent.
This track is still on POINT. NO CHORUS ALL VERSES🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☄️
These 2 compliment each other so nicely
Yall witnessed the beef?
2024 still smacking

PermanentHigh That's very true thou. You just got me thinking about that. Kendrick got everything else thou. That's why he's the Best right now.

Soul is better stop it
They say pressure busts pipes, but I ain't ever have to deal with plumbin' in my life. Now that's a bar.
2018 I'm still a black hippy
Möŕťæłîç molebatsi I got on this two months ago lmao.

It really is incredible
This is definitely a valid statement! Would make top 30 for me
Yall witnessed the beef?
No joke ive been listenin to this song all day over and over literally
"Some shit only Big and Pac could rap after and if they was alive they would have to pay tithes I am God"
This is the music I was born to listen to!
Love the vibe im gettin from these brothers. This track is top of the playlist material.
BACK TEETH, never been in AGONY, but i got WISDOM!
I first heard this when I was like 13 and now every time I hear it I pick up different bars and mans this shit fucking slaps. So fucking lyrical man

“Back teeth never been in agony but I got wisdom”

I hope this track is on Longterm Mentality. Kendrick is next to blow, dude's flow is ridculous.
loooooooool this shit is crazy
This track is missing Lupe Fiasco & Elzhi. Imagine this track featuring Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamer, Lupe Fiasco & Elzhi.
These Niggas LITERALLY "Merk" a LARGE Majority of the Dudes that's currently in the Rap Game right now.
They are THAT Good!
Combustible flows, Fireman on speed dial - Kdot
When shit hits the fan u know I Stan last
When the shit hits the fan you know I Stan last ;bar? 😨
They say pressure busts pipes and i aint never had to deal with plumbing in my life
two young masters on one plateau sounds beautiful
I can even lie, Ab-Soul sometimes has the better metaphors overall. And Kendrick has the better flow and delivery, I think them niggas are on the same level, and I enjoy hearing em on a track together
Raw skillz!Crazy Barz Period..........
Ab soul is so underrated! Why is my dude never mentioned as one of the best lyricist, at least not with mainstream rap listeners
2024🔥

Ab-Soul my favorite out of TDE/BlackHippy. Man is a fukin wizard!

this shit is too hard.
Kendrick and Ab Soul like MJ and Pippen
no need to compare though. i honestly cant decide whos better. they're both probably some of the most talented musicians this world has ever seen
i follow no ruler even if im under drastic measure
jspears19 but whatever
live💯
Word
ab soul is the only guy who's been on a track with kendrick and held his own.
Bro I wish they released this song so you could have it on Spotify etc
9 years later btw
this is so butter
I influence ghettos where it says caution
And them bloggers get to sparking like L.A. females that's balling
Soul and Kendrick different man
if anyone likes this song they gotta check out the vault pt 1, and search for souls unreleased songs
somebody need to put this on soundcloud so I could download it
Kendrick last part is the best
Yea his verse gets me hype! But he killed everybody on that Black Lip Bastard remix, EVEN Ab-Soul lmao
except for throwback Thursdays and rappers birthdays, the radio is garbage. this is where the real shit at
2019
@SW4TR3PP1N yeah..im gonna try go see kendrick lamar in concert april 23,gonna be sick

@FYUZE oh its still a nice song
@TheCritic75
yup .
has this been slowed down??
No
the 5 dislike is from turned down labels lol
Donte Bell lmaooooooo
Who vibin in 2024
Black Hippy!
@MrTphelps7 - so true!
Jay Rock always holds his own with Kendrick. I'm not knocking Ab tho, he's one of my favorites. But the whole team is dope
@luckhaxer at 4:41 thats Ab Soul
kendrick's my favorite rapper by a long shot but am i in the minority when i say that i think soul got the better of him on this?
🦸♂️
actually i felt Kendrick had to come up with a dope verse after hearing Soul first verse,. and i still think he killed Kendrick BAR for BAR!.
50 cent from many men, sikkkkkkkkkkkk :)
How the hell this didn't make the album????
@AA24LAL thats not true i think Ab is straight nice already my favorite verses by Ab is on shit he do with SchoolBoy Q
this is art
I think he said, "I am gone.", not sure.
@SW4TR3PP1N yeah im sure it was
What mixtape is this on??
Longterm Mentallity
ali kohistan no it isn't
I couldn't see it on long term mentality either
It's an unreleased joint it ain't on shit.
Compton state of mind 3
ken got the syllables 2 but Soul has better witty lines/metaphors/similies
post the lyrics!!
@itzFundamental lol his face probably was like this -_- when he read that aha
gunplay as well
@SW4TR3PP1N nah this song aint gonna be on
THIS WAS CRACK
call me the 2013 rakim
Kendrick is nice,. but shit,. Soul, is the BEST from the black hippy,. like Bar for Bar,...
nothingmuch44 He's not better than Kedrick thou, my opinion.
