"1, 2, 3 and to tha 4..."
"Even saw the lights of the good year blimp..."
"Sometimes the rap game remind me of the crack game"
"it's like a jungle sometimes..."
Even with more local rappers there's bars that stand out to their fans. Some rappers got more of a knack for that than others, Kendrick ain't one of them.

I were to post those as Kendrick's lines y'all dismiss them fukk outta here
Drake in For FreeThe difference is their peers and the people coming up under them have flipped those lines literally 100s of times even years after the songs originally dropped. When's the last time you heard a rapper flip or pay tribute to a Kendrick line?
YG is the artist Dr. Dre really wants.
Drake in For Free
And those lines are decades long
@ all these excuses and nobody coming in here posting the Young GOAT Kendrick's most memorable lines....the stuff that solidifies you in this game and cements your name in time.
Breh allegedly has 3 classics and nobody came in here just posting....nikkas asking questions needing guidelines making moving the goal posts.
Where are his quotables at?
Kendrick still fresh breh let that nikka live and fill up his catalog.True
Their peers were paying tribute as well though so it ain't really about how old the songs are. This is admittedly not example of paying tribute to lyrics but 100s and 100s of rappers have paid tribute to Gucci's adlibs ("burr" "skrrt skrrt" etc).
Jay-Z has a lot of lines that have been flipped ("we don't believe you, you need more people" "is it oochie Wally or is it one mic?" "Truthfully I wanna rhyme like common sense/but 5 million sold, I ain't rhymed like common since" Etc.) by his peers and by rappers coming up under him from Lupe to Jadakiss.
Kendrick doesn't have that kind of recognition among his peers and it remains to be seen whether the ones coming up under him will give him that recognition either.

I don't smoke crack, motherfukker, I sell it!
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the King of New York
King of the Coast; one hand, I juggle 'em both
I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable, fukk y'all clubs!
fukk y'all pictures! Your Instagram can gobble these nuts!
That one "I'm the king of New York" line got more hype around it than any line from any rapper in your top 10 and I'm not even a huge Kendrick fanAnd I'm gonna get it even if you're in the way
And if you're in it, better run for Pete's sake
