Considering this was during his humble beginnings, it's still dope. His punchline delivery was more on Lil Wayne when he was biting JayZ's flow.

He's actually reverting back..... If I had to summarize Kendrick Lamars talent it would look like this

His peak was around the time he made "Good Kid M.A.A.D. city" ..........after that it's a slow decline to straight :trash:

Lamar is spitting better now with more questionable hooks

Someone Tell me why this dude was swagger jacking Wayne his first few years

Dude didn't have his own identity yet! When he was Kdot he tried to sound like Wayne & Jigga..... thank god he decided to be himself instead. Once the "Kendrick Lamar" ep came out he was on the right track.

:dwillhuh: Kendrick using that Jay-Z whisper flow with the extended pronounciation.

Listen to a lot of Kendrick/Cole/Drake's early stuff, Cole and Drake were killing Kendrick skill wise and had more of an identity. Kendrick developed massively by OD and K Lamar EP. :ehh:
