@4:26


It wasn't so much what he was saying but his flow on the verse and the delivery and conviction behind his voice.

Imagine Rock up in the projects where them nikkas pick your pockets
Santa Claus don't miss them stockings, liquor spilling pistols popping
Baking soda YOLA whipping, ain't no turkey on Thanksgiving
My homeboy just domed a nikka, I just hope the Lord forgive him
Pots with cocaine residue, everyday I'm hustling
What else is a thug to do when you eatin' cheese from the government
Gotta provide for my daughter n'em, get the fukk up out my way, bytch
Got that drum and got them bands just like a parade, bytch
Drop that work up in the bushes, hope them boys don't see my stash
If they do, tell the truth, this the last time you might see my ass
From the gardens where the grass ain't cut, them serpents lurking, blood
bytches selling p*ssy, nikkas selling drugs but it's all good
Broken promises, steal your watch and tell you what time it is
Take your J's and tell you to kick it where a FootLocker is
In the streets with a heater under my dungarees
Dreams of me getting shaded under a money tree

Really sharp verse, must of taken him like 50 takes just to get the delivery right.
Probably best guest feature of 2012

I love this dude. His verse MADE the song.

 

[Ronald]

not the best guest verse last year tho

 

[FridayNights]

I can't get enough of that verse, It's like one long big ass sentence.

 

[AlldayNE]

Jay Rock has been killing it for a while now. I think his sophmore LP is gonna be a banger

 

[Czerka]

it was like a breath of fresh air hearing a manly voice after 4 minutes of that singing

 

[wire28]

Kendrick with these monster guest verses. Jay rock, gunplay on cartoons and cereal

 

[Jutt]

First time i heard that shyt i was just like



His flow over the beat was damn near perfect. When the beat drops when he says "Drop that work off...." is

you like to hear manly voices? :SHIBBY:

 

[madness]

Rock on!

His verse on the u.o.e.n.o. remix was dope too

 

[obarth]

Amazing verse. Flow and delivery crazy. I'm not gonna frame it in as suspect a way as that dude above, but K Dot and Rock's voices complimented each other very well. Each member of TDE brings something unique to the table in that regard.

 

[Tuling]

word. So great
