    As someone who was ready to be disappointed by this album, I'm pretty dumbfounded that there are so many people not feeling King Kunta.

    Because he's doing it in a new context, and adding his own flair to it. You can trace the originations of this track threw Kendick's own discog as well, not just the artists it was clearly inspired by.

    Why not look at this for what it is, removed from what it drew from?

    Also, what exactly mediocre about kendrick on here? I'm actually curious

    lol shut up. My friend was over yesterday and when the song came on he immediately started nodding his head and said "who's this?"
    Only find this funny because you said zero people, when I literally saw someone nod there head to it and then ask who the artist was.

    You're trying too hard again. Maybe turn it down a notch and then have another crack at being controversial.

    Gave it an 8, but only because I'll need room for growth when I hear it in the context of the album and its even better then I'm guessing it'll be a 10

    the fact that you think it's "controversial" to not love every song by every famous rapper is funny

    No I think it's a sad attempt at being controversial when you claim that "if this wasn't credited to Kendrick, there are zero people who would ever so much as nod their head to it". That's hyperbolic bs. I get why you're saying it but it's crap and you know it.

    The fact that you wannabe (want to be) a rapper and you have such a poor grasp on the English launguage is funny.

    A solid 9 for me. I didn't really like it at first, but it has grown on me.

    What exactly is that characteristic instrument/sound effect used in King Kunta?

    The same thing that's used in Nas Is Coming

    This post broke my heart.

    Perhaps he is, but you're likely guilty of the same when it comes to All Day. Gap between those two tracks isn't great.

    literally person thats been around when ive played king kunta (a lot them not even kendrick fans) were AT LEAST bobbing along to it lol

    it's kinda hilarious picturing @WPG sitting there straight-faced, trying not to nod his head along to this song :laff:
    i'm not being uncritical, i've defended my opinion on this song more than Paul has. #factsonly
