NLE Choppa went as far as to label the song a "masterpiece, writing, "Kendrick that was a masterpiece, I don’t think the tweet does justice." 

Lucki also chimed in, saying, "Lol ain’t nobody fuckin wit Kendrick Lamar. I know we probably don’t wanna hear this but this is crazy," before adding, "It’s crazy cause I really let Ak convince me Kendrick might be finish but this was nuts fr bro."

In addition to releasing the new track, Lamar also shared a music video for the piece which features him rapping while his face morphs into that of OJ Simpson, Will Smith, Jussie Smollett, Kanye West, Nipsey Hussle, and more.

Fans of the new track will be happy to know that Lamar is releasing a project, which may even be a double album, on Friday. Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers will be Lamar's first solo album since 2017's Damn.

Is good to see rappers like Denzel saying he need to step his game up. That’s what hip hop is really about. Trying be more creative, getting inspired, being the best and just having fun.

Here comes the Kendrick dick riders. Up until the Nipsey part, he was rapping about the same things he always raps about with the same flow and delivery. Most overrated rapper in history.

If you get offended because someone said something about your favorite rapper, it means you're a loser with an unhealthy attachment to a stranger, and you have nothing to live for. With that said, no one shall disrespect Kendrick while I'm around.
