Over the years, it's been pretty clear that Kendrick Lamar has smoke for Big Sean and J. Electronica.
But he hasn't publically put their names on wax since "Control."
Publically.
A leaked, alternative version of Kendrick's verse on the 2018 Black Panther soundtrack cut "Pandemic" has K.Dot calling out Sean, Electronica, and French Montana for good measure.

"F*ck subliminals, I put you on the roll call/ French Montana speaking on me in interviews/ Very cynical, dry hating something I don’t approve/ Jay Electronica put silencers on my Grammy night/ Another dead prophet hoping the God’ll give him life," Kendrick raps on the track.
And for Sean ...
“Big Sean keep sneak dissin,’ I let it slide/ I think his false confidence got him inspired/ I can’t make them respect you, baby, it’s not my job/ You finally famous for who you date, not how you rhyme (boy)," Kendrick spits.
Why do you think Kendrick held these verses back? Maybe to keep beef out of Wakanda?
