No more diss tracks. No more Super Bowl performances. Kendrick Lamar is just back to rapping like one of the best MCs in hip-hop.

Prior to the release of Playboi Cartiโs much-anticipated fourth studio album, โMUSIC,โ it was rumored that Lamar would be featured on the record. Early Friday morning, fans got what they wanted and discovered that not only was Lamar featured on the album, but three songs in total, including โBACKDOOR,โ โMOJOJOJO,โ and โGOOD CREDITS.โ
The feature that stood out the most for fans was Lamarโs verse on โGOOD CREDITS,โ where the Compton MC was back to spitting braggadocious bars.
Fans particularly loved this bar from Lamar, where he raps, โThe numbers is nothing, the money is nothing, I really been him, I promise / Say Kenny been heavy out West and I carry the weight, n-gga, Iโm Luka Donฤiฤ / Conspiracy theories is a given, but I must admit it, you got the wrong person.โ
Hilariously enough, this reference to the Los Angeles Lakers superstar came just weeks after Joe Budden was critical that MCs donโt make enough references to sports in their bars.
Naturally, social media went crazy over Lamarโs feature, with everyone quoting the Luka Donฤiฤ bar several times.
Although several fans were excited about Lamarโs feature, one noticeable person felt like the Compton MC shouldnโt have been on the album at all.
Shortly after the album was released, Kanye West tweeted, โI DONT LIKE KENDRICK LAMAR MUSIC. HE RAPS VERY GOOD BUT I DIDNT NEED TO HEAR HIM ON A CARTI ALBUM.โ
Fans were rightfully confused since West was one of the several MCs who backed up Lamar in his beef with Drake and has also worked with him in the past. However, it didnโt seem to change fansโ perception of Lamarโs features, as hip-hop Twitter continues to gush over Lamarโs rhymes.
