Why it's here
The song samples Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn's 1982 rendition of "If This World Were Mine," originally performed by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. [1] It won Record of the Year and Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 68th Grammy Awards, and was also nominated for Song of the Year. [2] The track spent 13 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Lamar and SZA's longest-charting number-one song and the second longest-running hip-hop song ever on that chart. [3]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
