I think its so arrogant. If you are the best why would you feel the need to do this? I think rappers that have the same talent as Kendrick are really insecure when they do this. Its one thing if someone called you out but if your just trying to be an arrogant a hole for attention it appears low especially when you have the talent where you dont have to do things like this.

Im actually pretty shocked and would not have expected something like this from him. I like Kendrick and he is probably the best rapper out right now.

However, he must be smoking PCP if he thinks he is lyrically on Nas' level.

Well in kendricks case it is different. its not like he dissed them. He pretty much said that he loves thoes guys but it's comipetion so he is trying to best them all.

Its interesting he didnt mention Danny Brown, Joey Badass, Earl Sweatshirt and Action Bronson. I mean thoes are currently talked about as top new lyricist right now weather you agree or disagree with it or not, its a fact they are talked about as on top. The only one on top he mentioe was Krit, maybe because he isnt making as much noise as there guys

You make a good point.

I just think it is possible those rappers could interpret those name drops in a different way. Kendrick is basically saying that he is the best out now and that these rappers need to recognize because he is not going to let anyone take his crown.

I could see someone easily attacking him just off that alone.

I think its low to put himself on the same level as Nas in the first place. We know your the best out now so why do you have to make a song about it?

I thought he was above that which is why I am shocked. His lyrics are more conscious and not all "im the best, im the best yada yada" I hope he didnt let hov get in his ear. lol

You dont have to do that. If your the best let your music speak for itself

I agree with this a hundred percent, even tho he did it in a friendly competitive gesture, it's sitll kind of a jerk move.

it would have been real ballsy to mention the rappers i said he didnt mention, that would be something.

That;s what everyone is so surprised about. apparently he's always been really modest, so this came from left field.
