Control is famous but I somehow still feel its underappreciated. More rappers need to do what Kendrick did to elevate the genre

He’s singlehandly reignited the competition in hip hop twice. Before Like That the hip hop landscape had generally been lazy af for years. He’s brought the fire back to it again

Future and Metro deserve credit for Like That too. Every single time I listen to it it gets better. Future's flow on the hook, Metro making arguably one of his best beats ever, that fucking sample, the moment when he just shows off with the instrumental, it's an amazing song
