      1. until they drop that album and yall have to speak with your dollars. Then the truth will come out. most of yall love music as long as it’s free

    1. STANS ARE ALWAYS WEEK AFTER WEEK JUMPING ON A DIFFERENT “STAN BAND WAGON” ABOUT WHOS THE BEST THIS AND WHOS THE BEST THAT. LETS JUST AIR IT OUT NOW

      TOP 2
      1)KENDRICK LAMAR
      2)JAY ELECTRONICA
      (MAYBE NAS IF HE GETS SOME DESCENT BEATS ALREADY)

      AND LETS JUST END IT AT THAT

      1. That is just a horrible list…kendrick is nice but if you know hip hop he would be found nowhere close to your top 5. Jay electronica….really? On what grounds? That he releases a good song every 6 months?

    2. 4/5 Its OK song but I don’t see how this a video game track it just don’t sound like one just saying I have heard better in games…….cough cough tech n9ne

    3. Dope track. Kendrick’s killed every track since 2007, all of you late bandwagon kids – don’t forget to get K-Dot’s early shit, expand your mind, let’s make a nation of true hip hop heads for the 2010s instead of the Ja Rule/50 Cent/Lil Wayne-listening faggots of the 2000s. HiiiPower

      1. You guys are getting on like kendrick is the second coming of nas pac and biggie all in one. The dude is not that nice and although a good rapper he is overrated. If you were a hip hop head you would know vast amount of rappers better than him who are alot less known. He just happens to be the only rapper nowadays breaking into mainstream who has a message in his lyrics and is talented.

    4. Damn I cant remember the last time I heard a bad song from kendrick the dude kills it everytime even when the song is just for a game!

    5. Kendrick is defo a inclusion in my top 6 as well as Tech N9ne, Eminem, Talib Kweli, Immortal technique.

    6. The mark of a good lyricist, the ability to make a song with a theme that doesn’t center around yourself. Kendrick seems to be a humble rapper, if there is such a thing, and I mean that as a great compliment.

    7. i love kendricks music but does any else notice he says ‘in the midst’ in most of his songs?

      1. Ghostface says Wally’s in all his songs….hes one of the GOATS lol Every Pac song sounded the same but he’s considered the “greatest”

    8. Ur almost guaranteed good music from Top Dawg, Big krit, Bronson, Meyhem Lauren, Curren$y, and Chuuwee right now. As soon as the roots, elzhi, and Jay electronica (doubtful) drop an album we gon have a good year for hip hop. HArry fraud blowin up too wit the production

      1. ^Fuck off faggot, Man on the Moon (the first one) is a great fucking album.

        Eat a dick and die slow you fucking new jack

      2. New Jacks. That’s funny. I thought new jacks listen to Cuddles. I was just listening to Rakim’s Follow the Leader today. If you ever heard Rakim’s Follow the Leader you could never listen to a Cuddles album. Go listen to Lyrics of Fury.

        It will make you stop listening to 90% of these rappers. You would then might get to know what a great album sounds like and what rap is really about.

        New Jacks. LOL. I’m 27 but I have went back and heard the music when rap was actually a talent.

      3. grown men do not listen to Kid Cudi lol. On the other hand I agree with said above. Rakim is one of the best.

      4. Why all the hate on Kid Cudi? MOTM 1 & 2 were both good albums. He also had a couple good mixtapes. Remember, good music is not based purely on lyricism.

      1. I agree with the dick riding part. I’m not a Kendrick Lamar fan…I just do not get it. His content overpowers how good he actually is…which is not that good in my opinion.

      2. you guys are idiots this is good hip hop ya fags probably listen to that gay ass rick ross shit

    9. I’d like this track a whole lot more if it wasn’t for that terrible hook. It’s worse than the hook on “Hol’ Up”. But all in all, I’d give it either a 3.5 or a 4.

      1. @K.G. actually I think his hooks are the best part of kendrick. and his words actually have pretty deep meaning. Not so much in this but still.

      2. hol up hook is sick! i wrote this record while 30 thousand feet in the air! but the hook isnt all that but his verses are mad

      1. bitch your a retard go do the world a favor a die. you don’t know the meaning of overrated if your using it on kendrick.

      2. you’re a dumb filthy cunt, kendrick is the illest out right now. nobody can even get near him on lyricism

    10. anyone who talks shit about kendrick and doesnt really listen to his shit go listen to the heart pt. 1 and pt. 2and tell me hes not the best out now, lyrically hes untouchable but this tracks decent id give it a 4

      1. lyrically untouchable? dont get me wrong he’s the best out right now but as lyrics go he’s almost on a level playing field as lupe. lupe’s new album going to be “shock”. Kendrick will get there but so many people undermine true lyricist these days. Someone please give lupe the credit he deserves

    11. this nigga sound like drake… with better wordplay and flow, plus he sing better lol this song is boring though, not feeling it, especially if it’s promoting war, cmon nigga war is your love?? i guess ill take it back and listen. ..

    12. Corny Chorus
      But the lyrics are ok.
      Hub City

      K.Dot started off whack. But he took some Anthropology classes which seems to help his concepts of songs. He’s not the future, he’s just the present in a dress. Hey, He’s better than Wac Spiller i mean Mac Miller. If you in love with War than go enlist in the army and do shows for the troops.

      1. Shut the fuck up you retard. You know nothing, probably the worst comment i’ve ever seen you ass muncher. Ama skull fuck the shit outta you bitch!

    13. Uh oh they startin to turn they backs on Kdot im hearin some hate im hearin some hate a nigga blowin up a nigga becomin great but im startin to see em turn they backs im seein too much hate

      1. So he trying to get his name out and he a sell out?…yea you one ignorant ass dude…that’s like saying him being in a commercial is selling out…but you are the guy who put his name under anonymous…so it makes sense…smh

    14. im a big k.dot fan but this is more lupe to me. its cool but no 4.5. shows hes buzzin tho and thats great.

      1. different styles that what cats is lacking in hip hop the ability to change it up this dude is underground and still has the ability to change up his flow the track was knowledgeable reminded me of a lupe track

      1. You must’ve missed some of his pre-Section 80 material. Alot of its quite bland, this is much better then those songs.

    15. Funny how everyone is hating on him for this. If you’re an underground up and coming rapper, and a video game comes to you and says we want you to make a song and have it on our game. Not only will this song be heard by millions because this game is going to be huge, it will cause people who hear it to look up Kendrick and might become fans. You say sellout, I say marketing genius.

      1. If Kendrick is a sellout for making a track on a video game then what isn’t being a sellout? Staying broke in the underground?

    16. Hiiiiii POWER! this will definately fly over most peoples head! where the recipe video at kendrick

    17. can someone please tell why people think this track is “promoting war”?

      really dope song and lyrics imo.

    18. Honestly kendrick is the savior right now, y’all sleeping on the west coast but our time is now. this is your favorite rappers favorite rapper

      1. I guess you like Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy and those other garbage, incoherent rappers? Kendrick at least is capable of creating a song that makes sense.

        Lil Wayne–> “I told u I get paid by the letter like, ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY ZZ TOP” – Ransom

        Kendrick Lamar–> “I got my finger on the motherfucking pistol
        aiming it at a pig, Charlotte’s Web is gonna miss you
        My issue isn’t televised, and you ain’t gotta tell the wise
        how to stay on beat, because our life’s an instrumental
        This is physical and mental, I won’t sugar-coat it
        You’d die from diabetes if these other niggas wrote it”

        … Yeah, I don’t see why anybody would prefer the latter.

    19. at least this guy can actually spit and has a good flow unlike lil payne and the rest of the faggot making hip-pop

    20. Song was average. But you gotta remember it’s only for a video game. (Especially a game that is straight trash anyways). Kendrick is still fire. Black Hippy all day.

    21. K. Dot is the most talented new comer in many years…Most creative, smart and lyrically above almost all others.

    22. lol @ so many hatin ass niggas… take a break. KL is good music. I mean really, ya gotta fuck with him more than 75% of these dudes out here these days. His lyrics are nice, and may not be mind-blowing, but he’s consistent and has his moments. Like The Recipe.. that was ridiculously sick. The thing about KL, is his flow/delivery really sets him apart. And @TheDuke, for real… def like a Battle Chant haha.

      1. Shit, his lyrics can be mind blowing when he wants them to be. His simple tracks and simple lyrics are still way better than these other wack rappers that people seem to think are capable of producing a coherent verse. *cough*Soulja Boy*Gucci Mane*Waka Flocka*cough*

      1. also, the one that’s going with the other kardashian slut, is an other ‘lamar’, ‘lamar odom’, a basketball player i guess.

        so fuck you for talking shit on somebody, while knowing nothing.

      2. please don’t speak if you don’t know what your talking about. the only thing KL has in common with the kardashians is that their from Cali. hahah this is good music right here.

      1. there isn’t any basis for comparison. this is a song about loving war, on a violent video game’s soundtrack. lupe makes anti establishment anti war songs. not similar artist at all.

    23. dumb eejit motherfuckers down there using the word “sellout” on every fuckin thing they can’t dig.. here’s the funny thing, Kendrick Lamar did a song like this like a year ago and you had some “sellout” comments on there… months later n them same niggas jump right back on his dick. he just makes nice music, appreciate it and shut your ass up with this sellout shit. if you a fan of him, you should know how versatile he can be

    24. HEEELL Y EEEZZZ NIKKKAS

      FINALLY IT HAPPENED – JUST BOUGHT A NEW RIDE – A CAM A RO CONVERTIBLE.GOT APPROVED FOR 26 LARGE. BEEN 5 YRS SINCE IVE GOTTEN SHYT APPROVED, BUT NOW ALL MY CRE DIT SHEET GONE. ALL OF IT.

      1. And, you’re a whack elitist.. Dude is trying to do something different and you’re booty hurt he’s doing something outside of the norm.. gtfo and EAD

      2. I’m not a fanboy and I like this song (apart from the hook.) I don’t know why a Kendrick Lamar fan wouldn’t like this..

      3. trent is GAF. kendrick always tries out new shit, not everything different is good. my point is fan boys only like it because kendricks name is on it. I wouldnt encourage him to do an album surrounding this type of sound.

    25. How he sell out? The track was made for a video game so he has to theme it, and for what he did he killed it. I wasn’t expecting him to drop hii power lyrics for ghost recon come on ppl.

    26. if you think he sold out cause of this your are a tard. This is a tight song no matter if it was made for a album, game, or even a cartoon
