Taking a page out of JAY-Z’s book, Kendrick Lamar took to Twitter on Monday evening (June 19) to shout out some artists who’ve been killing the game lately.
He started with JAY-Z (yes, that’s the proper spelling now), who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame last week, before embarking on an impressive tweetstorm where he thanked dozens of rappers who’ve influenced and inspired him.
Also on Kendrick’s list was Nipsey Hussle for his recent “black business moves,” referring to Nipsey cutting the ribbon on his own clothing store in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles last weekend.
Kendrick also had kind words for Demetrius Shipp Jr., whom he referred to as Lil Meech, saying that he “nailed his Pac debut” in All Eyez On Me, which opened in movie theaters last week.
“Lil Meech” spoke to HipHopDX recently about how he ended up in the iconic role and what it was like to portray Shakur on the big screen.
Lastly, the Compton rapper showed love to 2 Chainz, who dropped his new album Pretty Girls Like Trap Music last week. In Kendrick’s words, 2 Chainz was “snapping the whole album.”
The DAMN. rapper concluded that “Rap run it 4ever!” On the back of the evidence provided, it’s hard to disagree.
Whatever K.Dot says goes
Open your mouth, I have more cum to load in it.
Nah, whatever Marshall says goes.
Eminem is wack af now.
Straight garbage, fucking Lil Uzi makes better music now. Shits pathetic lmao.
Dude Marshall is and always had been freak show. His musical content is trash but he had a great flow, that’s it.
Cool
It’s nice to see Kendrick salute King HOV getting into the illustrious songwriters hall of fame, representing real Hip Hop, he is with his peers like Bon Jovi, Garth Brooks etc…. Nas can stay broke with all the other songwriting stan flunkies like Prince and Quincy Jones.
