Now that I'm typing it out, I have a weird feeling about this one. Maybe there's just a bit less wordplay genius here than usually catches my ear. The D and L line is very cheeky though and definitely deserves notice. And then the rhythm he keeps with the beat on the cardio line is my favorite part of the whole verse.
I think the thing that's most impressive overall is that he changes up his flow like 4 or 5 times and each time sounds like it was custom made to fit the beat. Obviously, that's his job, but I think it speaks to his ability to take any beat and make it his own.
The part near the end about the skaters is a bit over my head. I usually assume there's an extra layer of wordplay on top of every line, but I'm not seeing much there besides skateboard hype. Maybe someone can enlighten me.
