“Paramedic!” has a dope beat, but Bay Area group SOB x RBE group delivers basic scumbag gangster bars over it, with Lamar repeating “I wish a nigga would, I wish a bitch would” over the hook.Mc Eiht Straight Up Menace (ost.menace Ii Society) (audio)
Those lyrics don’t jibe with a film that portrays the physical and mental power of Black women unlike any film before it. On “King’s Dead,” Future raps about smashing baby mamas in the penthouse and fellatio over a Mike Will Made It beat. There’s also an obvious dissonance with the themes of the film and many of the soundtrack’s lyrics. Lamar is special precisely because he is better than trap rap, but he seems to be burning through a lot of capital he has for simply being “KENDRICK LAMAR.” The Soundtrack’s Lyrics vs the Film’s Themes “Big Shot,” a duet with Lamar and Kylie Jenner’s new baby daddy, is like one long-ass hook - a performance that’s beneath the rapper who put together To Pimp a Butterfly. “All The Stars” is excellent because of SZA’s soaring voice over the Soundwave production, and in spite of Lamar. The soundtrack highlights one of Lamar’s only weaknesses: he puts together solid albums for himself but doesn’t do well as a guest artist, mainly because he seems less interested in crafting bars for other artists, instead choosing to ad-lib and sing hooks.
