What is Kendrick Lamar's problem? We were ready to give this month's best rap verse to Pusha T for the second verse on "Untouchable," but then K. Dot and Cole decided to fuck our heads up on Black Friday. Some may view their respective freestyles as gifts while others, such as myself, view them as teases because they need to give us that collab album they've been talking about. They have better chemistry than Future and Drake, plus Cole has gotten a lot better behind the boards. But anyway, "A Tale of 2 Citiez" is Kendrick's now. He owns this beat. You done fucked up, Ib. Should've never gave you email. This month's pick is a bit long but well worth it. Kenny burned this motherfucker down, and this is the second month in a row that the West delivered the best bars. Try not to die while revisiting this joint.

Is Kendrick being the best rapper alive even a question? Drake ain't snapping like this. J. Cole went off on his Black Friday freestyle, but, man, this was on another level. Shit is not fair. Lamar is playing for keeps. I convulsed at least three times when I first heard this. We should all be afraid of what he has up his sleeves. We are not worthy.
