Honestly I doubt they paid for any of these rap features
And I believe the opposite and that Kendrick hasn't been charging for features for some time now
Eh. I disagree. Kendrick been telling us he wants EVERYTHING he feels like he deserves and that means accolades, money, praise and PAYMENT. You ain’t hitting him up and not paying that premium whether he’s feeling your or not. And I don’t blame him.
Either way two Kendrick verses might’ve been overkill creatively speaking, you don’t want to risk the album becoming the K.Dot show. This is CLIPSE moment to shine and after 16 years you could tell that they gad something to say/prove, especially Malice.
