This song was an abomination and horribly corny, lol, why the fuck does he insist on jacking quasimoto's voice? Why the hell does he insist on fucking with his voice, it sounds perfectly fine the way it is when isn't experimenting with it, but failing horribly. Also the twangy guitar ain't shit and sounds like it's trying to emulate outkast but is a million miles away from that. The best kendrick has ever dropped since GKMC is still his verse from Collard Greens.

The part where he starts rapping in Spanish is so awesome. His charisma really shines in that verse it's quintessential kendrick and everything he should be, from him rapping in spanish to singing and shit. It embodies everything that makes kendrick fun to listen to.

I don't really care for his control verse as much as most people though.

Hate to go all stan mode, but it reminds me of that one freestyle that has Eminem going "And Imma vanish off the face of this planet, come back speak so much spanish pun can't even understand it". Everything little piece just fits into that verse and he channels it into making it one of his most experimental verses while not falling flat on its face.

I like 'i' a lot, but I have to agree that his best verse since GKMC is Control. That verse is just something else.

It's a real shame his verse was mixed so fucking horribly.

"i" is having big jumps on all radio stations.

Cracked the top 40 of the Pop top 50 and is having great radio gains on the urban and rhythmic charts

the song already charted in pretty much every european country and is his first top 30 as a lead artist in NZ

Concerning Radioactive....most of the time, producers have at least a say in the mixing of the track. And guess who the producer for the original song is?

That's fucking right, Mr. Trash-Can-Lid Drums himself.
