I dont see it as being checked. It doesn't matter who it is, young or old. As you age you think differently. Kendrick said something real and Talib listened

[@RDStiger13]

It’s evident that Talib definitely dealt with his ego a long time ago and it’s a beautiful thing to see

@@maxwellsamuel3255 It's not the message, obviously I would have no issue with the message. It's the man. He wants to be like Ice Cube, like Chuck D, but Chuck D will punch you dead in your face behind what he's sayin. Talib only ever talks crazy on the internet yet no one has ever even heard him so much as raise his voice in real life. I don't care what it's about, if you use all kinds of fightin words all day every day on the internet at some point I wanna see you stand on that or I don't respect you as a *man* plain and simple. Talib is bitchmade, he's from the soft side of Brooklyn, and if he's a nerd he should act like it before somebody give em what he been askin for so long. The only reason he aint got it yet is because you run into him in real life and realize he's chump.

It feels like every time a brother talks about interactions with Kendrick, if they had open minds and good attitudes it was impactful for the both of them. You don't really see people talking badly about it except when their egos got in the way.

[@bennettray2000]

"I was thinking with my ego" mad respect to put dots whole verse on the track

[@Sok12111]

and dot's verse was ofc crazy

[@bobbydee30g]

For Talib to keep the verse in its entirety and not feel any way about it speaks volumes about him as a man. He was a larger artist that could have easily introduced ego and cut his verse out all together. All I know is he could have easily placed a call and got 16 from a bigger artist. Respect.
