    Wouldn't consider it a top 10 OAT though I do think it's top 10 of his songs.

    Never said it was a top 10 OAT, that was just a question. I don't even think it is, just wanted to know if people think it's one of the greats

    Although I love Kendrick's songs, and have a lot of respect for him as an artist, I agree.

    It's for sure one of K.dots highlights in his discography.

    One could debate that. That song is f---ing brilliant in every way possible.. Like it's hard for me to even wrap my head around how good it is lol. Listened to GKMC all the way thru the other day again, I can definitively say that it's by far the best album I've heard since the eminem show

    You really need to calm down. It's perfectly plausible. You can disagree but it's perfectly plausible. It's a very hard hitting song. I'm maybe a little biased because I identify with it to some extent and the topic of the forgotten/less fortunate youth is something I really care about. I can confidently say I'd put it in my top ten across all genres.

    Can you explain? Or @BigCountry ? or anyone. I'm just curious on peoples criticisms of the song as I find it almost perfect. I remember @WPG saying it's self-indulgent, but I've never really understood the use of that phrase or why it's used as criticism. Art generally is self-indulgent. I guess in this case because I'm so captivated by the subject matter, whatever motivation Kendrick had behind making the song doesn't bother me. It's clear he genuinely cares though and really wanted to make the song.... yet somehow that's flipped into a criticism of the song. For me, that's one of the reasons i enjoy the song so much. If this is the main criticism of the song, I'm just hoping someone can help me understand a little better.
