1Train is still one of the best songs of the year.

For discussion of mainstream Hip Hop or Urban music.

1Train is still one of the best songs of the year.

Postby OMEGA » Jul 6th, '13, 02:12

Even though it leaked last year, this song is still one of the best 2013 songs and an absolute joy to listen. I'd even argue is one of the best collaboration songs ever made. The track is spot-on since it fits the concept perfectly: a train where each rapper represents one of its wagons, blazing through a desert at night on a stormy night.

This song is really important for hip-hop too since it showcases pretty much all the top new artists who are carrying the genre on their shoulders, and everybody did an awesome job in coming up with a rap battle type verse that represented their own style. You have Rocky with his strong flow, Yelawolf with his unique delivery, Kendrick doing his voice/"accent" switches, Bronson with that gritty shit, KRIT with his trademark car references, etc.

Like mentioned, everyone killed it, but goddamn if that Big KRIT verse in particular doesn't blow me away every time I hear it. Dude just went HAM, switching flows and riding the beat (credits to No I.D. for such an amazing instrumental) like a true legend.

So yeah, this song is pretty fucking incredible. A shame that there wasn't a video of it since the imagery is so vivid.

Classic song. 10/10.

It's a great song but it's also a big disappointment because everybody wasn't at his best.
Joey Badass was ok, Action Bronson can do way better and it was arguably one of Kendrick Lamar's worst guest verses ever.

Krit definitely killed it

Fuck you.

But seriously, Kendrick had one of the BEST verses on the WHOLE ALBUM, IF not the best. What are you smoking, bruh?

TrShady is just great. A place where pompousus blowhards can connect with other pompousus blowhards, and form a vast circle jerk of pomposity.

Kendrick was quoted in an article that he admitted to have written some of his recent guest verses in 15 minutes with his fucking phone, I think Jimmy Iovine asked him to appear on a lot of songs to promote his album and this verse is definitely one of his worst verses. Listen to The City, Bitch Don't kill my vibe remix, A1, Buried Alive (from Take Care), it's way better than his verse on 1train.

Action Bronson can teach you how to rap with incredible flows but to me, he sounded uninterested and uninspired on this track, he can do way better.
Listen to Steve Wynn, Midget Cough or Double Breasted.

It could have been the best track of the year but only Yelawolf and Krit killed it.

Yeah, and Kendrick showed exactly why the fuck he's a genius. A dope ass fucking verse with an awesome flow and delivery along with the internals that he's famous for.

Kendrick is definitely brilliant, but his verse on 1train is - imo - one of his worst verses of his career.

Krit killed it but again, Krit can do way better. It's a good song but everybody wasn't at his best.

How is it one of his worst, though? I don't get it.

And Krit's flow and delivery >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Listen to these guest verses: Drake- Buried alive, Meek Mill- A1, Jay Rock- Hood Gone Love It, Game- The City, Ab-Soul- Illuminate, Bitch don't kill my vibe rmx, Birdman & Ace Hood- B Boyz

Listen to these Action Bronsons verses: Steve Wynn, Midget Cough, Double Breaste, Northern and Roozy, Pouches Of Tuna, Elimination Chamber

Bronson, Joey and kdot were below their standard.

Didn't like Joey or Bronson. I've heard all of the verses you listed. This isn't below Kendrick's standard. Is it his best verse ever? No. But certainly enough to shit on every other rapper on the track cept for Yela and maybe KRIT.

This is definitely below his standard.

J.Cole x Big Krit x Kendrick- They ready is - imo - a better song, the hook and the beat aren't that good but you don't know who killed who on the song.

Most of his guest verses are way better than what he did on Fuckin Problem & 1train. How isn't it below his standard ?

Way better? All you've said is basically 'Kendrick's verse on 1 train was below par....because." Any corny lines, forced rhymes, SOMETHING?
