Drake, "Buried Alive (Interlude)" - Really more a solo song than a guest feature, Kendrick spits the only verse on this interlude, which flows musically and conceptually out of Drake's hit "Marvin's Room." It was one of Kendrick's first major looks, and he made the most of it, with inter-winding rhyme patterns and crazy vocal layering.
