(The Post News)– Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Playboi Carti’s “GOOD CREDIT” has ignited a firestorm of reactions on social media. The Compton MC’s feature on Carti’s highly anticipated fourth studio album, “MUSIC,” has left fans and fellow artists buzzing.
Kai Cenat, a popular streamer, was among the first to share his enthusiasm for Lamar’s verse, calling it a “hit” during his live stream. Many hip-hop fans have echoed Cenat’s sentiments, praising Lamar’s verse for its depth and perceived messages aimed at other rappers in the industry.
However, not everyone is a fan of Lamar’s contribution. Kanye West took to Twitter to express his disappointment, stating, “I DON’T LIKE KENDRICK LAMAR MUSIC. HE RAPS VERY GOOD, BUT I DIDN’T NEED TO HEAR HIM ON A CARTI ALBUM.”
ZAY@zayblacknofoood said on X. “Kendrick has collaborated with Ronald Isley, rapped with Hov, A Tribe Called Quest, Busta, Em, etc., performed with Prince and Beyoncé, hit songs with SZA, performed at the Super Bowl, and also worked with Future, Carti, Keem, Travis, etc. That’s a crazy range.”
The verse has also stirred up controversy due to Lamar’s apparent diss aimed at ASAP Relli. Playboi Carti, who didn’t contribute any disses on his album, seemingly co-signed Lamar’s stance by sharing a photo of A$AP Relli pointing in court on Instagram.
As the debate surrounding Lamar’s verse continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Kendrick Lamar remains a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop world, and his contributions are always met with strong reactions.
