The fact that almost none of y'all picked up on the fact that "Like That" was an E-40 influenced & homage record is the least shocking Coli thing ever

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Yall were crediting it to three 6 Mafia and shyt

Kendrick fukkin shouts out B-legit and E-40 on the song. Even the chorus is ITS LIKE THAT....he says bytch and HOOEEE identical to 40 at the end

Kendrick and Metro 40 fans and disciples since the jump...

Yet here you are, 66k posts deep, whining like every sissy Michigan fan

Be honest..metro and them heard tunechi rap over that beat

And than they probably did some research after to see the other times it’s been used

 

[Mastamimd]

Three 6 used the same Eazy sample and the Rodney O sample is more akin to them as well

And E 40 has a niche audience...many wouldn't make this connection.

Oh yeah...Hook Em

So Kendrick just happened to shout out 40 directly and use his adlibs. And they named the song using the chorus from the E-40 song. That makes perfect sense

It's actually very obvious and makes the song even better if you know that track.

Sure, I mean I won't overly argue that...but this is a testament to how much Kendrick looks up to 40. I'm interested in how the song was made

 

[Corndog]

K Dot has always shown 40 water respect, it's very obvious that his style is influenced by Earl and other bay artists

EDIT: some relevant collabs

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

caught that the first time shyt was tough. whats even more crazy/dope is that e-40 rapped over this beat on Charlie Hustle album and the song featured Cash Money

the layers

Mans said the layers Nggas trying to make that line into some God Did level triple entendre. Ayo Some of you didnt get to experience the golden era(s) and rappers and you’re forcing it

OP is an idiot. Everybody was talking about the fukking beat when the Three 6 comparisons were made. Same drum pattern, same chops, etc.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

This 100% was based off Rodney O & Joe Cooley cause that was just as huge down South ass it was the West Coast cause of the low rider truck bass era that ran the South at the time.

Just like everything DJ Magic Mike put out back then.

i also thought this when i heard it. kendrick is a huge cash money hot boys wayne stan and a 40 fan. i thought of 40s song before anything else.
