    2 with 3 being a close second. 1 anf 4 are interchangeable but all are dope

    Edit: 3 with 2 being a close second

    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

    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.

    Easily 3. The way he dropped it the night before the album release was great as well.

    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.

    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 .

    4 by miles honestly. The production alone makes it the best

    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.
