    I think the apathy of the of the hook is purposeful. The song is supposed to represent the numbness of someone crawing out of their depression. It follow u because it's supposed to represent the post-depression mindset of someone trying to find a way to keep moving along in life rather than let their burdens stop them dead on their tracks

    Radeem I listen to people smarter than me

    I knew you were gonna say its purposeful and i fully agree with it but if Kendrick did that hook entirely the effect would be more powerful IMO.

    Pharrell can t do a beat without singing on it. Ehh

    I respectfully disagree, Complexion has a good message behind it and a really good verse from Rapsody, For Free, while catchy, is just an interlude

    I'm gonna have to watch that episode again and pay attention to that, I know Gillian is really keen on small s---, like what colors the actors are wearing and things like that so I wouldn't doubt it.

    "just an interlude" is the laziest reason ever to dismiss for free. its over 3 mins, its a song.

    and i know i was lazy too by saying complexion is "boring," but ive also already explain why its probably the weakest song. it's unnecessary in the scheme of the album, i dont know if the concept totally works, the transition into TBTB is the best part, etc.

    for free isn't good just becasue it's "catchy" lol. it serves its purpose on the album really well, it shows great technical rapping from kendrick, has engaging production, and is unique/stands out.

    I've talking about this kind of stuff before this /r/breakingbad world we live in lol, and so many people would give me s--- for it (when literally everything I said I backed up/made sense, even if it wasnt intentional). I treated the show like a novel, and that's how the writers approached it as well.
