Of all the influences listed for Kendrick Lamar I've yet to hear the Bone Thugs one

[Obtain Knowledge]

When I first heard that single he's got out now (Swimming Pool, I think?) the first thing I picked up on was his Bone like flow except for the second verse which reminds me of Andre 3000. But his flow, for the most part reminds me of Bone Thugs, the way he double times his rhymes.

thats a good question...

its just my opinion...but i know kendrick feeds off of ab-souls style alot...and ab says that he started off rappin with a double time flow like twista...maybe thats were it comes from

Yeah, outside of Swimming Pool and that song he has with Dr. Dre I haven't checked out anything else by him but his flow at times on Swimming Pools reminds me of Bone Thugs.

 

[Absolut]

it was mentioned plenty when he sounded like bone on spiteful chant

 

[DaveyDave]

any rapper his age who ISNT influenced by Bone is lying
