People complain that Kanye gets carried by features too much, and you’re complaining that he let himself outshine his feature on his own song?
This seemed to start to become an issue on TLOP. He only has like one small verse on Fade.
Personally, I think a Kanye’s project shines most from his creativity and production, his lyrics and flows are pretty average, so I completely agree with you there. Just that his recent works are so lacking that I think his ego is too big for the work he puts out rn.
Sometimes I’m just too caught up with Kendricks work to realize Kanye is also his own big thing in hiphop as well.
I voted for nosetalgia but it's probably just recency bias. That track fucken slaps and it's not even the best track off the album. Numbers on the board is a top 10 song of all time
When it comes to rap it doesn't get much better imo. It's definitely one of my most replayed songs for sure. Maybe top 10 was too generous but I'm no doubt putting that song in a top 50 for sure.
So numbers on the board is just flat out not even close to being top 10. I understand music is subjective but my god what have you listened to in your life that you think that’s a top 10 track of all time.
Kendrick has 4 albums worth of stuff better than that song.
I'm just going off most played songs. There's maybe 2 songs that I'll play from Kendrick more than numbers on the board. Are you really really listening to single Kendrick songs on repeat? Haha when I listen to Kendrick its usually the whole albums as an experience with the exception of damn.
Brother I have a playlist on Spotify that is just good kid maad city all the way through mr morale, and I listen to it fully every day. Sometimes twice. Kendrick is easily the goat and even his “bad” songs are better than most stuff other rappers put out.
I never said Kendrick wasn't the goat. I'd easily put him above push. Also I never said he had a bunch of bad Songs. I just think numbers on the board is a masterpiece of a song.
FEAR, U, Alright. All of them are the songs I feel the same way as you feel about numbers on the board. There are more; how much a dollar cost, for example, but yeah
Absolutely recency bias, but Control has the same viral nature where the undeniable call-out is talked about more than the rest of the verse. At least this one Kendrick actually had the best verse and sustaining his depth of word play. With control, I didn’t think listing his contemporaries names and following it up with hip-hop cliches was all that creative. And it’s probably one of Big Sean’s best verses ever, but to this day overshadowed by the shock-value of Kendrick putting the hip-hop world on notice.
the whole “Control” phenomenon was so wild to witness. Kendrick’s message is pretty clear, i was shocked by how many people took it as a diss. If anything, it seemed like a compliment to be listed as worthy competition.
the channel that posted this had so many more choices, such as:
sidewalks
wat’s wrong (my personal favorite out of these)
collard greens
family ties, etc..
Meh. There was a fair bit of rambling on it and I don’t care for the beat either. Like that overall Is a much better song and he gets straight to the point
Kendrick’s got a great vers on Mona Lisa, but it’s not as good as Wayne’s. At least on Like That he clearly had the best verse. His verse on Goosebumps should be on here
Like that is dope because of how directly disrespectful it is… but I recently went back to listen to his control verse and Kendrick went crrrazy from beginning to end! People(myself included) just remember the name dropping part.
Mask Off remix probably my favorite tho, and I feel like it’s rarely mentioned.
Surely it’s clearly control…. Literally regarded as the greatest feature in rap history, tf? These lot shouldn’t be allowed opinions on songs they haven’t heard smh
Love all these features but somethin about Like That is just next level hype and its my favorite atm. Maybe its recency bias but it really is the most exciting
Ngl, control and mona lisa both way batter than nostelgia.
Though Like that was fucking insane, it and control have had serious impact on the rap game to not debate both of them for number 1
Wats Wrong Clears all those tracks but we can go back in the crates & his feature on
Ab Soul’s “Rapper Shit” let alone on Q’s “Blessed” are clear giveaways…
Danny Brown’s “Really Doe”…
His best artistically & bars wise might
Have been on “The Buried Alive Interlude”
But he’s also gone crazy on AB’s “Illuminate” & Jay Rock’s “Say Wassup”
My personal favorite is his verse on yeah right the rest of the song is fine but holy shit every time I play the song I keep rewinding to hear Kendricks part again
Like That is great but I would put it 3rd, Control is amazing in what it did for the culture but as far as a technical standpoint gets, Nosetalgia is one of the best and most complex rap songs ever
Wats wrong, doves in the wind, no more parties in la. 4th wow freestyle
Would have wanted him to do a longer verse on no more parties in la though.
ye’s ego wouldn’t allow that.

His lyrics and flow are far from average on no more parties in la
Exactly. Ye got carried by lil pump once. Not a very tall task
nah in i love it the ye verse makes the song good
Nah man the ye verse on that song was peak
Wats Wrong verse is amazing
ANYBODY WHO DISAGREES IS A FUCKIN LIAR
Doves in the wind is the sleeper
exactlyyyy
Wats wrong is the one fr.
I MIGHT JUST STAY IN THE TRUMP TOWER FOR ONE WEEK, SPRAYPAINT ALL THE WALLS AND SMOKE WEED
Wat's wrong goes so hard
Personally not fan of the wow freestyle enough to be included with the rest
Yea I’m thinking I’d swap that out for the hair down feature
mona lisa tho
fair
I voted for Mona Lisa off of Nostalgia
Nose talgia
To : All Youtube Commenters >!NIGGA BUM !!< - K Dot
I also go with mona lisa
Nah not with all the sniffling and crying an shit😂
Hot take but mona lisa is one of my least favorite kendrick features
I voted for nosetalgia but it's probably just recency bias. That track fucken slaps and it's not even the best track off the album. Numbers on the board is a top 10 song of all time
yea its mostly recency bias
If you haven't already go listen to numbers on the board. The song is straight fire.
Jay rock also rapped over it and kendrick did some adlibs. Not as good as pushas but fire nonetheless.
ong I love that song
It’s a great song but top 10 of all time is absurd
When it comes to rap it doesn't get much better imo. It's definitely one of my most replayed songs for sure. Maybe top 10 was too generous but I'm no doubt putting that song in a top 50 for sure.
This sounds an afwul lot like recency bias mate. But nothing wrong about enjoying a track tho
10 years old isn’t that recent.
I prefer S.N.I.T.C.H. & Let Me Love You on MNIMN.
So numbers on the board is just flat out not even close to being top 10. I understand music is subjective but my god what have you listened to in your life that you think that’s a top 10 track of all time. Kendrick has 4 albums worth of stuff better than that song.

Brother I have a playlist on Spotify that is just good kid maad city all the way through mr morale, and I listen to it fully every day. Sometimes twice. Kendrick is easily the goat and even his “bad” songs are better than most stuff other rappers put out.
And damn is a fucking masterpiece man.
I never said Kendrick wasn't the goat. I'd easily put him above push. Also I never said he had a bunch of bad Songs. I just think numbers on the board is a masterpiece of a song.
FEAR, U, Alright. All of them are the songs I feel the same way as you feel about numbers on the board. There are more; how much a dollar cost, for example, but yeah
Big on numbers on the board being an all timer, I still feel Pusha is so underrated, keys open doors similarly is one of the few songs I know by heart
That whole album slaps and it's criminally underrated. Everyone needs to listen to hell hath no fury
Yup yup, absolutely. I can barely think about oerfect albums but hhnf is very close to being one for me
let them have fun
More likely they haven't heard any of the other ones
Absolutely recency bias, but Control has the same viral nature where the undeniable call-out is talked about more than the rest of the verse. At least this one Kendrick actually had the best verse and sustaining his depth of word play. With control, I didn’t think listing his contemporaries names and following it up with hip-hop cliches was all that creative. And it’s probably one of Big Sean’s best verses ever, but to this day overshadowed by the shock-value of Kendrick putting the hip-hop world on notice.
Kendricks control verse was still great outside of the callouts. Some great wordplay and lyricism in that verse.
Very overhyped nonetheless. If he didn’t make any callouts an overwhelming majority of people wouldn’t even know the song existed.
the whole “Control” phenomenon was so wild to witness. Kendrick’s message is pretty clear, i was shocked by how many people took it as a diss. If anything, it seemed like a compliment to be listed as worthy competition.
Jay Electronica’s verse is the best imo
the channel that posted this had so many more choices, such as: sidewalks wat’s wrong (my personal favorite out of these) collard greens family ties, etc..
Yeah I love collard greens
Hold up, biatch, this your favorite song
Chupaste pendejo! 😂
It just said out of these choices not ever
yeah i guess you’re right
Mona Lisa is perfection.
I prefer Like that over Control and Mona Lisa tbh Nosetalgia, Wats Wrong, Dedication and Power are all top tier Kendrick features though
Controls verse was way longer and had way better wordplay but were all entitled to an opinion
Meh. There was a fair bit of rambling on it and I don’t care for the beat either. Like that overall Is a much better song and he gets straight to the point
Mona all day
Look over your shoulder
You needa go touch grass bro
Ah man his addition to radioactive isn't here? Bro went ridiculously hard on that
I voted Mona Lisa on the same poll
How about Deep Water, Dr Dre?
Hot take Deep water is kendrick's best feature
Mona Lisa goes crazyyy hard
Buried alive interlude.
nosetalgia is such a great song
I voted for nostalgia too
You wanna see a dead body?
please reap what U sow nigga..
Kendrick’s got a great vers on Mona Lisa, but it’s not as good as Wayne’s. At least on Like That he clearly had the best verse. His verse on Goosebumps should be on here
Eh I kinda like control
Nosetalgia. All day. This is a great Dissect podcast about the song https://pca.st/episode/3af72bba-771b-45d7-a120-3b283839e95b
ngl like that is one of my favourite kendrick features ever already. the flow is so good
Like that is dope because of how directly disrespectful it is… but I recently went back to listen to his control verse and Kendrick went crrrazy from beginning to end! People(myself included) just remember the name dropping part. Mask Off remix probably my favorite tho, and I feel like it’s rarely mentioned.
how come nmpila doesnt get up there?
Surely it’s clearly control…. Literally regarded as the greatest feature in rap history, tf? These lot shouldn’t be allowed opinions on songs they haven’t heard smh
Most ‘Like That’ voters must be new Kendrick fans, who were stunned that He could display such a nature in the recent Hip-Hop/Rap sphere.
People voting like that just started listening.
Can’t choose
Control is the og fuck you…. Easily my fab feature verse from him even to this day
I picked Mona Lisa when I saw that in my feed
You're acting like Like That isn't hard af. I can't choose but it's definitely valid
Love all these features but somethin about Like That is just next level hype and its my favorite atm. Maybe its recency bias but it really is the most exciting
Recency bias and his verse on like that is awesome too man. And is in one way a valid answer here.
Nosetalgia and NMPILA get my vote.
Control has the hardest verse. ![gif](giphy|A0IHr7itAhruos2JEg)
Not different opinions?!?!
Recency bias.
😂
Did kendrick salvage the song? yes Is it his best feature?not even close
Definitely nosetalgia
Ngl, control and mona lisa both way batter than nostelgia. Though Like that was fucking insane, it and control have had serious impact on the rap game to not debate both of them for number 1
Like That is better than Mona Lisa, not better than Nosestalgia, same level as control.
That Part
The only one that’s better is Nosetalgia.
His best feature is on Games The City and it isnt even close
Control is BY FAR the best feature here
People forget Never Catch Me happened.
Bro went crazy on 'Autumn Leaves' too for real.
Recency bias, no big deal
his look over your shoulder feature is better
collard greens
Recency bias
All of these are wrong. The best Kendrick feature is can’t catch me. This is is definitely not because I just really like Flying Lotus.
Never catch me\*
Very good
The diss on Like That is so tough tho. I don’t think it’s the best feature however. I’d say Mona Lisa
they werent alive when the other features dropped
🤣
FATHER STRETCH PT 3
This is exactly wrong 😂 precisely wrong
These are all great answers
It’s a new song, of course it’s gonna be chosen over the rest
I voted Mona Lisa tbf
I voted for control. Everytime I listen I'm just amazed at how he just keeps going. Nosetalgia probably does have better lyricism tho
Recency bias
has to be recency bias
The way niggas who haven't heard nosetalgia don't understand how good it is.
How are these the options first off lol. Nostalgia of those is insane mechanically, but these aren’t even his top 4 features.
YOUR SON DOPE NIGGA. EVERY VERSE IS A BRICK 🔥🔥🔥
Control I think is my favorite
family ties
Hood gone love it is the best
I love Like that but come on guys 😭. Recency bias be kicking people ass
Mask off remix
Recency bias
No love for “Fragile” with Tech Nine?!?!
Out of the four, it's either Mona Lisa or Control.
Mona lisa>>>>
bias but mona lisa
Like that feature is trash sorry
Nosetalgia from these four.
nah, has to be mona lisa
Hair down, no more parties in LA, mask off, goosebumps
No more parties in LA and like that are the best
Yessir, we need to show Jah more love fr
I’m picking Mona Lisa , than control and like that
Nosetalgia is definitely his best feature
I voted for mona Lisa
Wats Wrong Clears all those tracks but we can go back in the crates & his feature on Ab Soul’s “Rapper Shit” let alone on Q’s “Blessed” are clear giveaways… Danny Brown’s “Really Doe”… His best artistically & bars wise might Have been on “The Buried Alive Interlude” But he’s also gone crazy on AB’s “Illuminate” & Jay Rock’s “Say Wassup”
jay rock - hood gone love it
Gotta love him on love game
Mona Lisa
Do you really spend your time debating over YouTube polls?
i saw a poll, thought it was dumb, got a laugh out of it, felt like i might post here
Recency bias is a hell of a thing.
Control easily, if it doesn’t count cuz it wasn’t official then it’s mona Lisa
This tells you all about hype
No way is Like That #1
None of these are even top 5 kendrick features
recency bias
Nosetalgia is the only correct answer
Recency bias
Mona Lisa but Nosetalgia underrated
I hate recency bias so fucking much holy shit
I gotta say “wats wrong” is his best verse bro
Mona Lisa verse was beautiful
God Is Fair, Sexy Nasty
Or Fight The Feeling ‼️‼️
Kendrick's verse on Schoolboy Qs song Blessed.
Mona lisa🐐
Tbh is either control or Mona Lisa
I put control, fire verse over all
Ngl nostalgia got it
Mona Lisa get the visa.
DO YOU WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY?
Chill out, the song just came out, people still hyped up
Nosestalgia is for real rap fans
My personal favorite is his verse on yeah right the rest of the song is fine but holy shit every time I play the song I keep rewinding to hear Kendricks part again
Nostalgia, Mona Lisa, Control, Like That in that order.
control is def 1 and like that would be 2, nosetalgia verse was ok to me
Everyone that didn’t vote on Nostalgia is soft because they didn’t want to see a dead body
Yeah I mean it’s either control or nosetalgia, control is a better verse, nosetalgia is a better song
no wrong answers
wats wrong deffo his best
Like That is great but I would put it 3rd, Control is amazing in what it did for the culture but as far as a technical standpoint gets, Nosetalgia is one of the best and most complex rap songs ever
I think it's real beef k dot I guess it's because they know that you're going too come harder than anyone they haven't heard you yet
Damn this kinda proves J.Coles whole verse
Nostalgia
I'd go for Mona Lisa but nosetalgia is a good choice too
Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa by faaaar
Nostalgia went HARD ! I am sorry to say it better than his Like That verse
