Kendrick Lamar is one of the best rappers out there. As you listen to his lyrics, it drives you to this little place in your mind. That makes you feel part of the story that's being told throughout the lyrics. It puts you in the characters shoes and you feel how they feel. His collaboration with Drake in this song "Poetic Justice" is a beautiful example of this.
