    The argument isn't whether or not Kendrick is an artist.

    U is boring and the production takes away from the verses (pretty much the case with all of TPAB ). Kendrick has far better songs.

    it's outstanding, more for the music than for the rapping though

    but yeah, I agree with you OP

    Macklemore does this on every emotional song, to a fault. Does that mean he's the GOAT too?

    Almost all of TPAB is boring. Why do you think Kendrick practically ignores it during live performances? I never said it was bad, it's just not an album I want to listen to.

    One thig that is undeniable is how good the production is on this song. With thta being said, it had to grow on me as I was not familiar with so many layered sounds...I f---ing love it now.

    And what is he ignoring exactly? his last live performance (last week) consists of 70% tpab.

    It must be why he is now performing almost all of the songs on the album.

    You not liking the jazzy beats don't make them any less great, and it doesn't take anything away from the verses, that is literally impossible lmao. Jazz is actually the most expressive genre which is the reason why hip hop used to be highly influenced by jazz music.
