Mar 26, 2017 2 with 3 being a close second. 1 anf 4 are interchangeable but all are dope Edit: 3 with 2 being a close second
Mar 26, 2017 I still remember the night I heard pt3. It was a powerful experience and the very moment I knew this kid would be one of the greats of this generation
Mar 26, 2017 after sitting with it, 4 is pretty unremarkable. just another control type jawn where he goes for shock value. compared to the other 3, there isn't a lot of substance. "1 2 3 4 5 i am the greatest rapper alive. so d--- great MFer I’ve died" wtf is that. definitely the weakest of the heart series, but 1, 2 and 3 are classics.
Mar 26, 2017 "I never screamed out the New West, I didn't believe it" "Even when my album leaks fans still buy it for proof" "Will you let hip-hop die on October 22nd?"
Mar 26, 2017 "You jumped sides on me, now you bout to meet Westbrook" GOT d--- MY d-ck IS ROCK HARD. Line of the year for me debate's over.
Mar 26, 2017 Whoa.... I wouldn't say that. Control was overrated because people lost it when he called out a ton of rappers. In this song, him dissing Sean or whatever isn't even the highlight. Hearing him flow on various beats (all of which are great) and the confidence that seeps through his delivery is what makes this work. "Yellin', "One, two, three, four, five I am the greatest rapper alive!" So d--- great, MFer, I've died What you hearin' now is a paranormal vibe House on the hill, house on the beach, n----- (facts) A condo in Compton, I'm still in reach, n----- (facts) I'm fresh out the water, I'm 'bout to breach, n----- The five-foot giant woke up out of his sleep, n-----" Also, this: "Donald Trump is a chump Know how we feel, punk? Tell 'em that God comin' And Russia need a replay button, y'all up to somethin' Electorial votes look like memorial votes But America's truth ain't ignorin' the votes It's blasphemy, how many gon' blast for me? I prophesized on my last song, you laughed at me Oh, when the s--- get brackin', don't you ask for me How many leaders gon' tell you the truth after me? G Malone big bro, kudos to him I was two O's from a M, tryna be big as Em" Similar to Pt. 1, this is Kendrick showing off his technical ability and just talking s---. He also takes time to reflect on what's happened politically and takes credit for warning people ("I prophesized on my last song, you laughed at me"). The whole track is just a a stream line of consciousness that Kendrick makes entertaining the only way Kendrick knows how.
Mar 26, 2017 4>3>2>1 . 3 was one of my most favorite until 4 dropped . 3 sounds more of a Soulful , plea and caution 4 sounds more of a Revenge , Powerfulness , more lyrical and poetic .
Mar 27, 2017 Oh s---. I just relistened to 3. d--- that was hard. But Part 2 still too cold. 3 had all of TDE in the middle of. I loved that. Black Hippy snapped back then.
