Leaker claims Kendrick wrote Jay Rock's verse on Money Trees

[JA_Carter]

Does this mean Kendrick wrote the Wow Freestyle and was rapping to himself all this time

 

[Chip Skylark]

1. Y’all reaching with the hear Kendrick influence on Jay rocks money trees verse. I don’t hear it all.

2. til there’s a reference he didn’t write it

and I co-sign @Ziggiy as far as Keem goes. I may not like his music but I have no issue with black nepotism. We should start keeping more things in house. Have a family member learn to DJ, engineer, etc.

 

[We Ready]

Keem ain’t shyt if this is true tho. Straight up nepotism. Still don’t believe the Jay Rock shyt. And it’s pretty baseless at this point. I hope Jay Rock addresses it

You talking Money Trees specifically? Because the clip shows that Kendrick rapped Jay Rock's verse in King's Dead......that verse always sounded obvious to me, I just assumed he was rapping like Kendrick.

 

[xCivicx]

I don't believe that Money Trees shyt for a single second

No way Duckworth wrote the best verse on the album for somebody else

 

[spliz]

I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again


I have NO PROBLEM whatsoever with black nepotism, I actually think it should be encouraged more, but everyone in the equation has got to bring SOMETHING to the table to contribute. If I gotta write and basically put together you’re entire projects, then what use are you? shyt boggles my mind that someone would even WANT that for their careers, being a ventriloquist dummy for @Another Man ’s talent and vision

Yea that’s my point. It’s one thing that he’s getting a shot cause of Kendrick. But for the nikka Kendrick to be writing his shyt just makes him a goof to me.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Man I thought Kendrick had everything outside of Future’s part on Kings dead when I first heard it. Not surprised at all

 

[Romell]

This is non news

 

[Piff Perkins]

Jay Rock thing is real.

 

[old pig]

first heard this when I came across a fan-made video years ago…song is dope…don’t care who wrote what



I remember when I first discovered songs from TDE catalog…I was about a few months late maybe a year…but man that was a great fukking summer

*edit*

damn I can’t unhear it…kendrick clearly wrote it…I can easily imagine him spitting the same verse

 

[KingJay]

If true, I guess Kendrick bodied himself on Money Trees

only one who can beat Kendrick on a track is Kendrick himself

 

[Ziggiy]

So when Kendrick said “A rapper with a ghostwriter….what the fukk HAPPENED?!?!” He was dissing his own crew

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Kendrick is a fukking genius if he can basically create an entire new lane for another artist like Keem.


I know it happens in music all the time but I’d personally be embarrassed as fukk if another person had to basically write, create the concepts for, and craft the flows for my whole goddamn career. What the HELL are you doing music for?


Couldn’t be me. And if I was the other artist i’d want credits for everything I wrote. The ghostwriting shyt is getting ridiculous

This is basically the life of Prince.

 

[pawdalaw]

Money Trees was perfect. But Kenny's verses alone doesn't make for a hot song. How many of us have perfect verses but wish we had someone to spit and compliment what we wrote.

That happens a lot. That verse could have been a whole other song. Reminds me of QTip on "Drink Away the Pain".

First performance

 

[Ziggiy]

This is basically the life of Prince.

Prince got his credits

 

[Yecht]

I don’t see the correlation whatsoever. Matter of fact I refuse to believe you do either. Lazy troll attempt

No trolling at all. But your lack of abilty in making the easy connection here says all I need to know about your mental capabilities bruh. Carry on.
