Like in te NBA the Rap game is a friend league now. Too much money on the line with Colabs that rappers won't risk alienating fans or cohorts. Fun to where this goes.
GKMC is my favorite album in years...maybe in a decade. Kendrick Lamar is the real deal. All his songs have a meaning to them.
I can only imagine the reaction on twitter if it was around when Nas dropped Ether Canibus dropped 2nd rd knockout

Harden drops his next single "Forgot about James" featuring CP the Realest Slim Shady. Kendrick is a monster, I'm glad someone has the intestinal fortitude to bring real rap back.
Imo this has no similarity to "How to rob" at all. 50 gave no ****s & called out some kingpins, got handle for that several times. Jay-Z, Big Pun, Cannibus, Rza, the chef, meth, kurupt, odb, nas & jadakiss. Even Fat Joe handled 50 cent (granted joe was pretty ill in his TS days). I can never respect 50, do I think he's a gangster & he's very smart with his money? yes. Is he a great rapper? no. Kendrick shouted out every rapper in the game right now that can lyrically destroy him (nas, em, jay-z, 3000). He knows the other guys can't **** with him & the guys that can are too scared to release anything (Jcole, JElectra, Lupe). This is really going to expose the ****ty rappers out there, Kendrick declared war. The most underrated bar in his whole verse was the "King of NY" line. Lotta' rappers gonna take offense to that. Now we just sit & wait.
My thoughts exactly. Anyone that actually mattered he sides with. Like I said before if you want to make a bold statement that you're the best rapper out you need to call out EVERYONE not just pick and choose.
