[@lancethompson37]

"My momma believed in me, she let me use her van to go to the studio Even though she know her tank is empty, that's who I do it fo" That's the same van from the Good Kid M.A.A.D City album cover.

[@youngshmurda4233]

A is the first letter in the alphabet and 1 is the mainly seen as the first numerical digit when counting. So when he say ive been "A1" since day one, he really means ive been the best since the beggining

[@marvpwns]

Don't tell me that album came out 8 years ago. I'm stunned

love the fact he said "until i finally realized that Jay wasn't me" instead of "until i finally realized that I wasn't Jay".

[@cookinsteve9281]

No matter what track is happening today with Kendrick, I always come back to this track. It’s hard to think of someone who truly came from nothing to truly revolutionizing, subverting, and flipping the entire music industry with 4 songs in 3 weeks and a whole lot of history. Kendrick reminds me that your own history matters, and you need to be able to look back at the inception of yourself as true as you are today. A rare breed indeed. Kendrick always been heard, but they can’t avoid him today. Who’s next?

[@Eighty8k]

I’m convinced he was hand picked by God to be a rapper This man has been consistent since the beginning

[@yapperxjay]

You are heard, and appreciated

[@tys1646]

Im glad i witnessed greatness

[@FallouFitness_NattyEdition]

I still remember listening to this with my little bro when it first dropped. My little brother said, "this guy will be one of the greatest of all time." Little bro, you couldn't have called it any better.
