Absolute masterpiece. He's sampled one of my favourite songs of all time ('I Want You' by Marvin Gaye) and delivered some of the best verses I've ever heard in my life. And check out that tour de force of a video. True art.
So refreshing to see an artist elevate a genre that some say has seen its best days to its apogee. This, right here, is peak rap/hip hop.

Good song, and hopefully the upcoming album will match his previous ones in quality. Unfortunately one person does not constitute a revival of the genre, but I'll take it.

1) The music in the background is fine, and of course that's from Marvin Gaye. The rest of it is crap.
2) Not fond of ANYONE using the N word, so immediately I hate it when I hear that. Time for that to go the way of the dodo.
3) I recognize that rapping is a skill, but it's a skill I don't really appreciate, and I don't consider it "music", so this isn't a "song" in my opinion. It's a different thing altogether...spoken word, poetry, whatever, but it's not music. Yes there is music in the background, but sometimes comedians and magicians use music in the background, and what they are doing isn't considered "music."
Don't want to be a jerk here but how old are you? Have you listened to other genres of music? If all you listen to rap and hip hop I suppose that might work but up against other stuff no not really and not close.
When ya listen to stuff like this that kind of thing would be a waste of time.

What are you on about? I literally said the 1970s soul song he sampled is one of my all time favourites. I don't limit myself to one genre. Right now I have Otis Redding, Nina Simone, Green Day and Credence Clearwater Revival on high rotation. I'm one of those people who think the industry started to take a downward turn around 2005 with only occasional flashes of brilliance like this.
What's with white boomers thinking hip hop isn't music?
When it comes to talent it starts with the bluegrass artists, then it's the jazz and blues cats, country comes next followed by the rockers, the rappers and hip hoppers way down there when it comes to talent.

Anyone with a depth of muscical knowledge wouldn't see that as being brilliant at all. You think that was brilliant, really?
This was absolute beauty. I listened to the song alone and then a 2nd time w/the video and the video adds to the experience. Hip hop by far is the greatest genre of music for lyrical complexity, storytelling, and cultural impact. Country, rock, etc. don't even come close. I'm not saying other genres don't have some elements of the above mentioned, just hip does it at a much higher level. I challenge Flagpole or any other person who dismissed Hip Hop to stack it against any genre in terms of the above mentioned.

When one of the primary focuses is an artist using the N word, then the music isn't meant for people like you. It's a shame too bc Kendrick has several impactful well-thought out music in his discography that resonate with some many people. Kendrick's music has been studied in academia and transcends hip hop. Guy has won a Pulitzer award for his work. Recommend listening to Kendrick's "Sing About Me, Dying of Thirst." It's considered by many to be one of his best story-telling songs and one the best storytelling songs of all time. Lyrics, delivery, and production of the track are incredible.
Do you really think the best of hip hop actually can compare to the best in country, rock, blues, jazz?
What we have is the young people thing here like we had when rock and roll hit in the 50's, the kids spending the $$$$$ on the music. If you have listened to music for years how can hip hop match up? If you grow up listening to hip hop early on and have nothing else to compare it to, see how it works?
You want to talk with me about them prewar blues from the Mississippi Delta pre 1940, how about Bob Wills and Western Swing or some Louis Jourdan, Mills Brothers, Ink Spots, Sinatra, I know......you can't. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Bill Haley and His Comets , hell.....Elvis. All that stuff on a whole other level than hip hop which is simple and geared for young minds nothing interesting about it at all. All that.....N.....is trying too hard and boring.
Get out and listen to that hugh world of music, it won't take you long to figure out hip hop you will out grow. You don't out grow Bessie Smith, Billie Holliday, Louis Armstrong, Robert Johnson, Sinatra, Hank Wlliams.
