    overrated because of how much of a shock it was. I don't think anybody expected Kendrick to drop the names like he did

    it's a solid verse with some great lines

    I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you n----s
    Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you n----s
    They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you n----s

    People ignore the great lines because of the name dropping. I don't thing it was overrated because no other rapper would dare challenge all those great rappers openly like that. I definitely know Cole and Drake wouldn't :king:

    because people barely ever directly mention people in "diss" songs (i know its not really even a diss but you get the idea) anymore.

    I think it's definitely a lacklustre verse in a vacuum, but the response it got from those mentioned (and not mentioned) made it a moment in hiphop.

    But if anyone thinks that verse was groundbreaking, then you're overrating it.

    " Out the exit window of five G5s with five grand
    With your granddad as the pilot he drunk as f--- trying land
    With the hand-full of arthritis and popping prosthetic leg
    Bumpin Pac in the cockpit so the s--- that pops in his head
    Is an option of violence, someone heard the stewardess said

    That your parachute is a latex condom hooked to a dread
    West Coast " GREAT BARS probably been the bar of the whole song

    His career as a whole is mind-bogglingly overrated.

    Arch you gonna catch a ban from the Kendrick SXN if you keep doing this. Talk s--- about Kendrick all you want, but have the facts to back it up. You've repeatedly demonstrated that you've barely given him a chance and are very uninformed about his music. Yeah yeah yeah #ArchDoggOpinions we get it, it's funny sometimes but it's getting really old and isn't an excuse to be ignorant.

    It's more the effect the song had rather than the actual overall song. I still think his verse is pretty dope though.
