Chris Brown Says Kendrick Lamar Has One Of The Best Verses He's Ever Heard

Chris Brown, who worked with Kendrick Lamar on "Autumn Leaves," says he
has a tremendous amount of respect for the good kid, m.A.A.d. city star.
"Kendrick is amazing," Brown says in an interview with XXL 's Miranda J. "I
think he’s just a great dude aside from being an artist. He’s a real humble cat
and a respectable guy. And also, he’s an incredible lyricist. So I think when we
did the song, just his subject matter and how he approached the track was mind-
blowing. I think he had one of the best verses that I have ever heard because
of what he was saying and the message that he was talking about."
Brown says Lamar differentiates himself from other rappers due to the subject
matter he employs in his rhymes.
"Some rappers, you have guys that will only talk about what they have or
what they got or what they can shine off of," Brown explains. "But I think
when you can paint a picture poetically, it’s more therapeutic, and at the end of
the day it means a lot more. It goes a long way."
