What makes Kendrick Lamar a good musician? He doesn't write his own lyrics. He doesn't produce his own music. He can't compose a song. He has no knowledge of music theory. He can't play a single instrument and I highly doubt he can read sheet music. He's pretty good at talking fast though I guess.
Ask K-Dot he once knew him well.

He writes his own lyrics tho
He does write his own lyrics. He composes his songs insofar he lays the general structure of verses, choruses and features. I don't even like hip hop.

To Pimp a Butterfly employed legions of writers, producers and musicians (including jazz pianist Robert Glasper and jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington). Six people wrote Wesley's Theory, including George Clinton, and four produced it, including Flying Lotus. Nine people are credited as writers for the funk-fest King Kunta, making it de facto a collage.

every album since Good Kid MAAD City has had multiple writers on each track.
