Right? Dudes a legend. I remember a discussion back around 10 years ago on Reddit where a bunch of people were talking about how Kendrick was itching to destroy another rapper. Drake gave him the fuel for the fire and the rest was history. Now we look back and can see he was burning the whole time.
My favorite moment of that came after Kendrick. "King Kendrick or Jermain Cole. Or are your saying King Wretched and Jermain's cold. I'm tryna lay the blueprint and give you reasonable doubt, so when you watch the throne niggas see me change clothes"- Wretch 32

I remember exactly where I was hearing this for the first time. My jaw was definitely stuck to the floor. Crazy how it doesn't seem to hit as hard anymore
@@deepaparakkal4241this aged well and stands the test of time? It’s not a goat level classic, however it’s fair to say this is one of Kendrick’s early classics that will live on as long as Kendrick’s name. And that’s for a pretty fuckin long time so I think it’s fair to say this is a classic.
People who said they didn’t think he was going to reply to the disses because he’s not the type to beef, y’all really don’t know this version of Kendrick
They’re casuals. Kendrick dropped Control and routinely swung his shit at other rappers every album release. Even MMTBS had features where he let everyone know. Smokin on yo top 5 2night.
This was the first song I ever heard from dot, didn't even know who this man was before this song dropped, instantly one of my top 5 rappers. 12 years later he's the best rapper doing it.
Perfect combo of technical skill, creativity, credibility, artistic vision, political sensitivity, and mass appeal. Em might be a lil more technical, 3Stacks might be a lil more lyrically creative, Nas might be more politically militant, and Drake’s more easily consumed, but no one comes close to combining all these together in one rapper like Kendrick. Only Tupac was like this, and if we being honest Kendrick had surpassed him on a purely musical basis back on TPAB. He’s the undisputed GOAT on all fronts now.
Love reading the comments of the people Hearing this for the first time. Now yall know why us Kendrick fans support him. Because he’s dropped nothing but fire since he came around. I heard this over a decade ago and I can still listen to it on repeat.this is a real artist
Kendrick has been standing on business since his Control verse 11 years & honestly how can anyone think they have any kind of a chance against a Pulitzer Prize winning battle lyricist from Compton, California? Dude's a prophet as far as I'm concerned.
"You biting styles. You got a hell of an appetite" I swear space and time bend to add depth to Kendrick's lyrics. I'm 100% sure him and Drake were cool when this came out and Drake hadn't even started taking a whole bunch of different styles yet. In spite of that, the line and the song as a whole aged impossibly well; damn near prophetic.
Y’all he wrote this at 24. I don’t even want to say what I was like at 24 bc I was just foolish. He’s not just the greatest rapper alive, he’s the best poet + the most brilliant mind alive.

Nawwww favorite rapper dead 😵 kdot the GOAT!!!
Kendrick Clairvoyant.
Literally, i vividly skateboarding to my homie crib in the summer. I walked in an in the midst of my homies messing the damn house up over COD, this was video was on the computer. I was like bruh who tf is this?!?! An every sense he’s been my favorite artist, the only artist music i actually buy. Your appreciated Dot an TDE much love from ST.Louis 🤲🏾☀️🌒💫🕋🛸.
the part of this song thats really incredible is just the fact he is rapping on this beat.. not a single other rapper in the world would have a producer play such a bizarre beat then be like oh yeah i can spit over that
Earl sweatshirt? MIKE? Navy Blue? Mavi?
@@kimochi__ yeah not a single one of them is rapping on top of a 166 bpm jazz track.. point me to a single one of their songs where they flow for minutes straight on top of a 166 beat per minute jazz track with a difficult non uniform drum beat. pretty much all them guys you named slow flowin on the slowest beats you clown.. point me to a single one of any of them dudes tracks that is even above a 100 bpm beat joker. the album earl didnt top a 98bpm, k-dot flowing damn near twice the speed here, earl wouldnt keep up.
@@kimochi__ Danny Brown? Daveed Diggs (Clipping)? P.O.S.?
kendricks got those saiyan lungs
we are about to hear from that version of Kendrick very soon
Yeah 4 albums in 12 years, we can divide. "Very soon" lmfaooooo
@@DaKilla331 quality > quantity, it’s better to release 4 albums in 12 years that will stand the test of time instead of pushing a trash album each year that people will forget about after a week
@@DaKilla331 4 9/10 albums in 12 years is wayyyy better than 10 4/10 albums in 10 years
@@adiggator y'all stay hyping them two trash ass albums smh
@@Dizaster404 when he drop 4 9/10 albums? 😂 Stahp it
Thank you algorithm. Going down memory lane. Salute King Kendrick
