• 2015 model kendrick lamar şarkısı.
• 2018'de hala ısrarla dinletiyor kendini. şarkıya girişi çok güzel gadasını aldığım kendrick'in. sözleri yazan o kız olayım bari;
  
  i got a bone to pick
  i don't want you monkey mouth motherfuckers sittin' in my throne again
  (aye aye nigga whats happenin' nigga, k dot back in the hood nigga)
  i'm mad (he mad), but i ain't stressin'
  true friends, one question
  bitch where you when i was walkin'?
  now i run the game got the whole world talkin', king kunta
  everybody wanna cut the legs off him, kunta
  black man taking no losses
  bitch where you when i was walkin'?
  now i run the game, got the whole world talkin', king kunta
  everybody wanna cut the legs off him
  when you got the yams (what's the yams?)
  the yam is the power that be
  you can smell it when i'm walking down the street
  (oh yes we can, oh yes we can)
  i can dig rapping, but a rapper with a ghost writer?
  what the fuck happened? (oh no) i swore i wouldn't tell
  but most of y'all share bars, like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell
  (a two man cell)
  something's in the water (something's in the water)
  and if i got a brown nose for some gold then i'd rather be a bum than a motherfuckin' baller
  bitch where you when i was walkin'?
  now i run the game got the whole world talkin', king kunta
  everybody wanna cut the legs off him, kunta
  black man taking no losses
  bitch where you when i was walkin'?
  now ı run the game, got the whole world talkin', king kunta
  everybody wanna cut the legs off him
  when you got the yams (what's the yams?)
  the yam brought it out of richard pryor
  manipulated bill clinton with desires
  24/7, 365 days times two
  i was contemplatin' gettin' on stage
  just to go back to the hood see my enemies and say
  bitch where you when i was walkin'?
  now i run the game got the whole world talkin', king kunta
  everybody wanna cut the legs off him, kunta
  black man taking no losses
  bitch where you when i was walkin'?
  now i run the game, got the whole world talkin', king kunta
  everybody wanna cut the legs off him
  ı was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves
  everybody's suicidal they don't even need my help
  this shit is elementary, i'll probably go to jail
  ıf i shoot at your identity and bounce to the left
  stuck a flag in my city, everybody's screamin' "compton"
  i should probably run for mayor when i'm done, to be honest
  and ı put that on my mama and my baby boo too
  twenty million walkin' out the court buildin', woo woo!
  ah yeah, fuck the judge
  i made it past 25 and there ı was
  a little nappy headed nigga with the world behind him
  life ain't shit but a fat vagina
  screamin' "annie are you ok? annie are you ok?"
  limo tinted with the gold plates
  straight from the bottom, this the belly of the beast
  from a peasant to a prince to a motherfuckin' king
  bitch where was you when i was
  (by the time you hear the next pop, the funk shall be within you)
  now ı run the game got the whole world talkin', king kunta
  everybody wanna cut the legs off him, (king) kunta
  black man taking no losses
  bitch where was you when ı was walkin'
  now ı run the game got the whole world talkin', king kunta
  everybody wanna cut the legs off him
  we want the funk
  (now if i give you the funk, you gon' take it)
  we want the funk
  (now if i give you the funk, you gon' take it)
  we want the funk
  (now if i give you the funk, you gon' take it)
  we want the funk
  (do you want the funk?)
  we want the funk
  (do you want the funk?)
  we want the funk
  (now if i give you the funk, you gon' take it)
  we want the funk
  i remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence
• şarkı, ismiyle açık şekilde kunta kinte isimli köleye gönderme yapıyor. bulunduğu albüm zaten kölelik dönemine sert şekilde yükleniyor. bu şarkı da sample içeren şarkılardan biri. 2000 tarihli bir şarkı, bu şarkının omurgasını oluşturuyor. bunun dışında “annie are you ok?” diyerek, michael jackson’a da bir gönderme yapılıyor. bunun dışında jay-z’den james brown’a birkaç isme daha gönderme var. şarkının ortasında flanger ile editlenmiş ikinci bir vokali bir sağdan bir soldan duyuyoruz. böyle ufak trick’leri çok seviyorum. şarkı, çokça duyacağımız “i remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence” dizesiyle son buluyor.
• kendrick lamar'ın son albümü to pimp a butterfly'dan yayınlanan ilk klip olmuştur. taze taze, buyrun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrk7pvjfbs8
