Kendrick Lamar and Seinfield aren’t two names you’d normally associate with each other — Wale’s usually the rapper Jerry’s buddy-buddy with — but someone on SoundCloud noticed the two have more in common than meets the eye. Weirdly, Kendrick’s “’70s blaxpoitation” anthem, “King Kunta,” syncs up with the equally funky Seinfeld theme song, and it’s almost a little too perfect. Has Seinfeld secretly been ghostwriting for Kendrick? Was Seinfeld’s New York City just a front for Compton? Should we start calling Jerry King Costanza?! Probably not. But it’s nice to dream.
