    I literally dont get it

    you could argue publicity, but then you also could say Kendrick gained 10x more publicity than Big Sean

    thoughts?

    Because no one would still care about it after a week if Kendrick wasn't on it.
    The verse is overrated, but that's irrelevant.

    considering the fact they couldn't clear the sample, the goal was obviously to promote Sean's album

    I also never understood why other rappers took this as a diss? He's literally saying what everyonelse is trying to do

    I got love for all of you but I basically wanna be the best

    If that isn't one of your objectives in rap then what the f--- are you doing?

    The Rappers who should of felt like they've been dissed by this are the people he left out

    i kinda agree, but there was some sort of hostility towards all those rappers

    and he did kinda tell sean he was better than him on his own track, just seems strange sean agreed to that

    Because he wanted 2 make a good song and left renegades aside. Why would he take a 10/10 to a 8/10 song good on him

    Not just publicity for his album but it was one of the defining moments of 2010s Hip Hop and he wanted it to be his song. He would be crazy to have took it off.

    It's not like it's a real diss, it's a solid verse and then he name dropped people to make it more interesting

    They're all friends so they know how Kendrick is...not to mention hanging around my guy friends it was understood that guys joke like this on a regular basis...conStanly testing each others credibility or stain...Big Sean probably was thinking this is going to cause some controversy so I'm inclined to believe it was to promote the album


    .....I think fans, listeners, and critics blew the verse out of proportion because they're all fiends for some drama
