[@jakaan2014]

EminemSlimShade exactly, the term is called priming

[@computergenerated3833]

Literally one the greatest lyricists of all time. What Kendrick is able to do with words is ironically almost indescribable with words. The foresight he has when writing lines and rhymes, the double entendre meanings the same words might have later. Dividing Nostalgia into two 36 bar halves and 36 also meaning an ounce relating to the crack epidemic which the song is about. Fucking genius. Look up Nostalgia verse break down if you want a better more in depth explanation of how insanely thought out and perfectly designed Kendrick makes his songs.
