Obviously, all bars aren’t created equal and that’s where the fun begins. This installment of Wired 25 aspires to do what so many of K.Dot’s rhymes have done–inspire some dialogue. With that, let’s get to the business of ranking Kendrick Lamar’s 25 best verses. — Photo: Aftermath Entertainment/Top Dawg Entertainment
