Well this would instantly be the second best song on T. P. A. B. If it was on there. I’ll at least say that much. That was a well-intentioned, but overrated bullshit sandwich. This is a decent song with a great video.
You have no idea who I am and I’m far from dumb. His production choices suck. Period. His songs are a constant battle of him vs. his beat to make a good song. I’m a vet to this little dude. If I do turn on the radio, I listen to the classic Hip Hop station, not the regular radio. Tribe’s album was my favorite album of last year. I write myself. I’m a college professor. Nuance is what I do. I don’t do simplicity in my speakers. Like Tribe said, Beats, Rhymes and Life. Notice they put beats first. He needs to shake his little in-house production team and reach out to Q-Tip or DJ Quik or somebody for guidance because his production stays wack.
I personally found the beat extremely satisfying. In true Kendrick form, his words will hit first, then the beat will blossom in a short amount of time.
Nobody’s words hit first, and then the beat. That’s something a fan will say. Nas is my favorite rapper and the best to ever do it IMO. But I’m not so much of a fan that I can’t acknowledge that he has picked some weird, bullshit beats for a LOT of his songs over time and it has greatly affected his catalog. So when people say they don’t like Nas because of his beats, I don’t try to defend it. I understand what they mean and I just keep bumping him because I like it. Just because I can overlook his beat selection because I like his style that much doesn’t mean other people will. I accept that they won’t. You need to accept the same with Kendrick. And it’s twice as bad with Kendrick because his voice is annoying as hell. At least Nas’ voice and delivery is tight.
Tribe’s album didn’t have all hot beats. Absolutely not.
Kendrick can’t even release a song without fans trying to turn it into a drake diss. Drake & Kendrick are both dope. They are also both intelligent and wouldn’t initiate problems especially with eachother
I agree. They both do they thing. Just on different ends of the rap game. See Drake for pop, party music. See Kendrick Lamar for dope bars, wordplay, lyrics. It’s room for both guys. And the rap game needs both them.
Wack as fuck…I dont give a fuck ..that new krayzie and bizzy bone album is coming soon..the new single out already..no one flipping like bizzy ..its fire for realz…grown ghetto gospel music..fuck all that wanna be but cant be (coming home ft stephen marley
Really don’t get the hype over this dude but it is a step above the mumblers and Dr suess rhymes, video has great visuals like the hoes stop with the photo shop but I’d never bump it, it’s basically for cats to say bitch shit down & think they cool to each they own least he don’t sound like a wannabe Andre 3k anymore
Anyone else notice he’s wearing Cortez’s and not lame ass Reeboks? Lmao @ how wack all these other shoe brands are compared to Nike. And mf’n hypebeasts buy into the coorporate b/s. Any who, back to the song. Cool video, decent song compared to “The Heart Part 4”. And trust me, I heard the lyrics and get the concept. Just sounds average compared to what I’ve been hearing from kDot!
This dude is just waiting for Drake to take a shot at him! He is laid back as F! Dude is like a Cobra right. Wait, listen and attack to kill victim all in one.
What type of garbage is this? his voice gets worse everyday dude can compete with Danny Brown now lmao, go cop that new Gangsta Gibbs. This is overhyped trash.
How is this different than what’s on the radio now? OMG….lol. This is the sound thats getting airplay now. That’s the point. Kendrick stans becoming more blind by the day.
By you saying it’s the same as what’s on the radio you’re referring to the actual bass and drums but in reality this beat is more 04ish 05ish crunk beat. the lyrics are fresh and there is some substance in there. gotta play the game to change the game. Kendrick, Cole, and Drake know this.
HE MIGHT BE BROKE BUT IN HIS TIME THOSE BEATS KNOCKED HARD. ALL THAT IS HOLDING KENDRICK BACK IS HIS PRODUCTION. THATS IT. “SWIMMING POOLS” IS STILL A TOP KENDRICK JERNT DUE TO THE PRODUCTION…AND THIS NUFF SAID CAT ENDS HIS “NO’S” WITH PERIODS…SUSPECT AS FUCK…EVEN JUSTICE LEAGUE AND KENDRICK WOULD MESH…METRO BOOMIN AND KENDRICK WOULD BE NEXT LEVEL…HARRY FRAUD…HE NEEDS SOMETHING THATS AS HYPE AS HIS DELIVERY AND MATERIAL…SOMETHING CONSISTENT
Am I reaching or was this a slight jab at Drake? Kendrick says ‘Watch my soul speak; you let the meds talk’ In ‘Both’ Drake says, ‘I don’t usually do this unless I’m drunk or I’m high but I’m both right now – got me talking about my life.’
This is dope as fuck. The random part about photoshopping is odd, because we know the retards who buy the music don’t like thinking. But still, the beats nasty and kendrick kills that shit.
fuck this nerd is he still rappin bout what he saw and heard in the hood but didn’t live it what a joke this guy is.. sounds like snitchin to me to be honest
Nice visuals, but the song is rubbish. Kendrick’s voice is horrible to begin with. Rockin’ over something like this makes it sound that much worse. That might have been the intention, but it doesn’t make the song better. Stans hear this and are already calling his next album a classic…yikes.
When do Kendrick at like a gangsta? He always been on some conscious, lyrical ish. I guess you mean when he get on other ppl tracks and murders them, is when he acting gangsta.
Honestly he raps about nothing. He turned into one of those imbeciles saying BITCH and HOE on repeat to make it sound cool. The only thing that made sense are the 2 rhymes about Photoshop. Flow is very nice lyrics are garbage.
not a fan of this. The production is annoying. his voice dont sound right this is horrendous at best. Big Kendrick fan he needs to stick to the warmer jazzier mellow sounds,that let his voice live. Tde tries so hard to be creative sometimes they come off weird and corny. they need new cats around. gettin too comfortable kendrick always picks horrible singles
I guess ppl commenting don’t get it that this is a parody of rap today and all of these idiots that are in the game. I’m pretty sure you caught the Lil Uzi flow part with the “Ay” after everything. He’s about to put everyone in their place real dam quick. This was the call out and then he’s gonna rap his ass off on all of the other tracks.
Is this Kendrick vs Drake shit still a conversation? Fuck outta here – K.Dot is one of the GOATS
Well this would instantly be the second best song on T. P. A. B. If it was on there. I’ll at least say that much. That was a well-intentioned, but overrated bullshit sandwich. This is a decent song with a great video.
No, u are just to dumb to process nuance. U need structure and simplicity to relate.
You have no idea who I am and I’m far from dumb. His production choices suck. Period. His songs are a constant battle of him vs. his beat to make a good song. I’m a vet to this little dude.

It looks like the old Kendrick is back.
Kendrick can’t even release a song without fans trying to turn it into a drake diss. Drake & Kendrick are both dope. They are also both intelligent and wouldn’t initiate problems especially with eachother
I agree. They both do they thing. Just on different ends of the rap game. See Drake for pop, party music. See Kendrick Lamar for dope bars, wordplay, lyrics. It’s room for both guys. And the rap game needs both them.
It’s decent can’t wait to get the album
Awwwwww Man!! Fu©k Everything and Everybody!! King Kendrick, Cornrow Kenny, K Dot back in the building!!
This is not a diss song to anyone. It’s just another dope song from Kendrick Lamar that will make lesser rappers feel some type of way.
Can you say Fire!!!. Support quality Hiphop y’all.
Wow! This song is soooo bad. Can’t believe that the guy that made dying of thirst and how much a dollar cost made this garbage.
Wack as fuck…I dont give a fuck ..that new krayzie and bizzy bone album is coming soon..the new single out already..no one flipping like bizzy ..its fire for realz…grown ghetto gospel music..fuck all that wanna be but cant be (coming home ft stephen marley

Beat sounds like 2003. TDE supposed to have the futuristic sound. Big let down.
girl stop
Future sounds wack, that’s why we stick to the past
Anyone else notice he’s wearing Cortez’s and not lame ass Reeboks? Lmao @ how wack all these other shoe brands are compared to Nike. And mf’n hypebeasts buy into the coorporate b/s. Any who, back to the song. Cool video, decent song compared to “The Heart Part 4”. And trust me, I heard the lyrics and get the concept. Just sounds average compared to what I’ve been hearing from kDot!
MJ…is that you?
This guy just touched on something most ppl lack AND STILL made it catchy! I think its safe to say KDot gonna be top 5 doa after this album
He already IS top 5 doa tho.
This dude is just waiting for Drake to take a shot at him! He is laid back as F! Dude is like a Cobra right. Wait, listen and attack to kill victim all in one.
You are too obsessed with Drake.
What type of garbage is this? his voice gets worse everyday dude can compete with Danny Brown now lmao, go cop that new Gangsta Gibbs. This is overhyped trash.
This is dope! Different from what’s on the radio all day. I like it.
How is this different than what’s on the radio now? OMG….lol. This is the sound thats getting airplay now. That’s the point. Kendrick stans becoming more blind by the day.

Imagine kendrick on some scott storch beats. Some boy 1da beats. Alchemist beats. Metro boomin beats. Production is key
No.
Scott Storch?? Really dude? Didn’t lil Kim break him. Last I heard he was on drugs and broke…
HE MIGHT BE BROKE BUT IN HIS TIME THOSE BEATS KNOCKED HARD. ALL THAT IS HOLDING KENDRICK BACK IS HIS PRODUCTION. THATS IT. “SWIMMING POOLS” IS STILL A TOP KENDRICK JERNT DUE TO THE PRODUCTION…AND THIS NUFF SAID CAT ENDS HIS “NO’S” WITH PERIODS…SUSPECT AS FUCK…EVEN JUSTICE LEAGUE AND KENDRICK WOULD MESH…METRO BOOMIN AND KENDRICK WOULD BE NEXT LEVEL…HARRY FRAUD…HE NEEDS SOMETHING THATS AS HYPE AS HIS DELIVERY AND MATERIAL…SOMETHING CONSISTENT
“How you let da kid fighting ghost writing rumours turn you to a ghost”?
Drake writers have OK bars every now and then
Am I reaching or was this a slight jab at Drake? Kendrick says ‘Watch my soul speak; you let the meds talk’ In ‘Both’ Drake says, ‘I don’t usually do this unless I’m drunk or I’m high but I’m both right now – got me talking about my life.’
This is dope as fuck. The random part about photoshopping is odd, because we know the retards who buy the music don’t like thinking. But still, the beats nasty and kendrick kills that shit.
fuck this nerd is he still rappin bout what he saw and heard in the hood but didn’t live it what a joke this guy is.. sounds like snitchin to me to be honest
Huh? Snitchin on who? What are you talking about child? you’re too young for adult lyrics. Drake got an album out go listen to his sing a longs.
You’re not a Jordan face, more like a dick face. Shut yo bitch ass up! Saying King Kunta is snitching. You sound butt hurt.
far fetched/random lyrics as usual… saying a bunch of nothing (and then that’s real lyrics) WOW!
Drake salty as fuck right now and this ain’t even about him
Nice visuals, but the song is rubbish. Kendrick’s voice is horrible to begin with. Rockin’ over something like this makes it sound that much worse. That might have been the intention, but it doesn’t make the song better. Stans hear this and are already calling his next album a classic…yikes.
When do Kendrick at like a gangsta? He always been on some conscious, lyrical ish. I guess you mean when he get on other ppl tracks and murders them, is when he acting gangsta.
Yeah, He murdered 50 on his own track. You right.
KING KENDRICK!! Sit down… Body bag season (whenever kendrick drops an album)
You dont listen to his message…
Honestly he raps about nothing. He turned into one of those imbeciles saying BITCH and HOE on repeat to make it sound cool. The only thing that made sense are the 2 rhymes about Photoshop. Flow is very nice lyrics are garbage.
not a fan of this. The production is annoying. his voice dont sound right this is horrendous at best. Big Kendrick fan he needs to stick to the warmer jazzier mellow sounds,that let his voice live. Tde tries so hard to be creative sometimes they come off weird and corny. they need new cats around. gettin too comfortable kendrick always picks horrible singles
Thank you.
Lol lol lol he’s talking about all lot and you all should take notes, Kendrick leveled up on everyone once again!
Kendrick is the MF BOMB!! Tight beat n lyrics!! Haters eat a D!
I guess ppl commenting don’t get it that this is a parody of rap today and all of these idiots that are in the game. I’m pretty sure you caught the Lil Uzi flow part with the “Ay” after everything. He’s about to put everyone in their place real dam quick. This was the call out and then he’s gonna rap his ass off on all of the other tracks.
basically this. People are so slow go listen to more life.
But who the fuck is lil uzi vert? Thats the real question…
Does anyone else hear all of the clicks from bad sound editing? Still fire doe
