#kendricklamar #lyrics #hiphop

[marcel..]

A bird in the hand was the strongest inspiration for Maad City. For example they have the same BB King sample. Kendrick wasn't using ice cubes lyrics he was just making a reference.

[stefancherry]

it's called paying homage to those that paved the way some hip hop artists still get that 💯❗

[joci.]

"Projects torn up, gangs signs get thrown up."

[hueysoprano]

This is deadass my favorite Kdot verse. This and the one he follows it with completely immerse you in his world of compton!! A true visionary

[MungusBeans]

That's the whole point of the fucking song, it's a walk through historic Compton rappers

[yocebaby]

"i never sleep cus sleep is the cousin of death" he also did that one

[Dilf]

Also “project’s torn up, gang signs get thrown up”

[marlonious]

Death Certificate was Cubes best work. Cube was on a war path.

[zedkool]

I am bursting here! I will give you material if I could from the good old days.

[reginaldwright]

nobody owns word or the order you present them, it was the perfect way to start that verse

[PharaohChin]

He started it off like that with the intent to catch the ears of the hip hop junkies who understand, he was only paying homage.

[GilleDawg]

Ice cube never complained he appreciated it

[kiddcap]

“Sleeping in the living room of my mommas pad”

[nootify]

"projects torn up, gang signs get thrown up" is also in the same song, pays homage to Kanye's We Major

[mellymel]

at the end of the day imitation is the highest form of flattery they both are nice artists let's give it up to the West Coast Legends

[solesoul]

"Projects get blown up hand sign gets thrown up " .

[Jichael_Mordan]

There is biting someone's flow that's what drakes do and there is paying homage to the legends that's what the greats do

[jadams]

Madd city 10/10 song and I only have 7 or 8 songs I consider 10/10

[thadonify]

Why the fuck not!!…that’s a cold ass song good to know Kendrick Lamar knows good music

[simoneprice]

if Cube is not tripping why are you in their business
