You can't accurately judge the verse w/o the name dropping though because that's a huge part of it. Of course if you take away that part it wouldn't make as much of an impact. -
Objectively, now that the shine is off the apple, I appreciate Big Sean's verse more than Kendrick. Kendrick brought a crazy level of energy and wordplay but Sean had coherent thoughts and meaningful content. People under-reacted to Big Sean just as much as they overreacted to Kendrick Lamar.
All that being said Jay Electronica had the best verse. The fact that he had the shortest verse having not heard anyone else's verse makes alot of a difference. His ? was like fighting a Monk who can hit pressure points to knock you out in 5 seconds flat. -
People saying Sean had the best verse wanna be different sooo bad..

As much as it's been overhyped since, that don't change the fact that Kendrick went the ? off

1st time listening to this in a while I said Kendrick then and still feel that way
"I'm silent as a rock cuz I came from a rock, that's why I came from a rock and signed my name on the Roc" yall really think Jay elec had the best verse in this song? Lol -
Kendrick's Control verse = best Control verse

You could check my name on the books
I Earth Wind & Fire’d the verse, then reigned on the hook
The legend of Dorothy Flowers proclaimed from the roof
The tale of a magnificent king who came from the nooks
Of the wild magnolia, mother of many soldiers
We live by every single word she ever told us
Watch over your shoulders, and keep a tin of beans for when the weather turns the coldest
The Lord is our shepherd, so our cup runneth over
Put your trust in the Lord, but tether your Chevy Nova
I’m spittin' this ? for closure
And ? is my witness, so you could get it from Hova
To all you magicians that’s fidgeting with the cobra
I’m solid as a rock, ‘cause I came from a rock
That’s why I came with the rock
Then signed my name on the Roc
Draw a line around some Earth, then put my name on the plot
‘Cause I endured a lot of pain for everythang that I got
The eyelashes like umbrellas when it rain from the heart
And the tissue is like an angel kissing you in the dark
You go from blind sight to hindsight
Passion of the Christ, right, to basking in the limelight
It take time to get your mind right
Jay Electricity, PBS Mysteries
In a lofty place, tangling with Satan over history
You can’t say ? to me, الحمد لله
It’s strictly by faith that we made it this far
Low-key one of Jay-E's best verses and that's saying something. You can almost understand why he caught feelings over this song. -

idgaf kdot never said anything this ill in his career. and im a huge kendrick fan.
jay elecs verse was beautiful. up and down -
Always thought Kendrick's verse was over rated, I appreciate him calling people out by name but I didn't like the verse at all. I normally fast forward to Jay Electronica's verse.
