It’s always gonna be my #1
Even thought the first part completely carries, it hits too deep for me everytime.
And the writing on the third verse? Oh my god.
Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself:
Am I really scared of passing away? If it's today, I hope I hear a
Cry out from heaven so loud it can water down a demon
With the holy ghost 'til it drown in the blood of Jesus
I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline
Reeking the scent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance
With the other side may come soon, and if I'm doomed
May the womb help my mother be blessed for many moons
JESUS
That’s some of the greatest writing I’ve ever seen in music
Sing about me, I’m dying of thirst is amazing however if Sing about me was just its own song I think it would be like top 1-2
I like dying of thirst and grew to appreciate it eventually but I can’t say as a full song it’s top 5 bc I prefer the first half way more than the second
Sing about me dying of thirst my favourite kendrick song of all time and top 5 favourite songs of all time. Probably top 3 and sometimes it’s literally my fav song ever made.
Smooth-jazz s*** for likewise smooth brains.
its a pet peeve of mine when people refer to any jazz thats somewhat calm as smooth jazz

Insane pen insane imagery touches on how not guaranteed life is just amazing

The beat on it is also incredible too. Perfect for his vocals to float on but not empty enough to not feel the music itself hitting.
i was expecting a let down
but he actually did it
You should go listen to the rest of the album and see how you feel

People like to say that Cole is a better storyteller but even at his best I feel like Kendrick clears him in that department

This is the last kendrick song i really liked other than man in the garden, i was so exicted it was the direction he was going in for new stuff. Unfortunately :(

Cole is best at rapping like a rappers rapper and being relatable
Coke
Cole is best at rapping like a rappers rapper and being relatable
His relatability factor is what got him to where he was at.
