2. Top Dawg Entertainment (Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, Isaiah Rashad and Kendrick Lamar)

Kendrick’s verse lived up to the hype, as K Dot went HAM over the “Shook Ones (Pt. II)” beat and delivered a high-five for the ages to Schoolboy Q. Schoolboy, Jay Rock (the real one, not this one) and Isaiah Rashad all contribute more than competent bars but none of them can hold a candle to Kendrick’s long-awatied opus.
