If only one Kendrick is on the list, it should be this one. If there are several Kendrick songs on the list, this should be the highest ranked. There’s many great songs on TPAB for various reason, but this is so emotionally powerful, and it’s almost disturbing to listen to at times, which only makes for a stronger impact on the listener. He does a phenomenal job of tackling the topic of depression, and I think this is one of the songs on the album that most people can relate to in one way or another. Easily top 10.

But I know; ranking Kendrick songs is so complicated!

Hey, Jme was right, it is a simple equation!


“Airing” is another term for “ignoring.” At first, people dismissed Jme, but he caught their attention when he dropped his debut, Famous?. However, the album was actually released on CD in 2008 (which would be 3 years later), but since it wasn’t so successful at the time, he re-released it digitally on iTunes in 2010. With the help of the digital market, Jme became more famous.

As their fame rapidly grows, and they constantly releases new content, it can be tricky to keep up with it all. Being well-aware that they’re obviously busy guys, they ironically ask whether or not people can in fact keep up. This is also similar to the hook of Busta Rhymes & Twista’s “Can You Keep Up,” though they challenge the listener to keep up with their rapid flow.

Marvel’s green giant is perhaps most known for fiercely smashing his way through any opponents. Hulk Hogan is also of course the name of an iconic WWE fighter. In wrestling, one of the key moves is picking people above one’s head and smashing them on the floor. KSI does not take matters lightly when he enters the scene; he’s out to wreck shit.

“Smashing” is also another term for sexual intercourse. Dropping them then explains how he indulges in many one night stands, rather than committing to serious relationships.

It’s common for people to be envious of those in “power,” the successful, and this envy can be expressed through unwarranted negative criticism. Jme isn’t down with the hate, and will respond with mild violence.

KSI’s subscriber count is consistently growing, similar to the idea of the universe expanding. It was thought that the universe has been continuing to grow ever since the Big Bang, but studies from 2014 suggest otherwise. So in a way KSI unintentionally explains how he’s not actually growing at all.

Integrity> is Jme’s third studio album, dropped earlier in the year. He put out shirts to promote the album, which he punningly refers to as “Integri-tees.” The design on the shirts were a close-up of his face, so fans with the shirts are literally wearing him.
