📋 About This Mod
Been listening to the diss tracks this weekend while I was making a few mods. Stumbled on to KitanaPrime's tweet that mentioned Lamar should be added and I got a good laugh at that. Looked around and found models immediately for him and Drake. I originally made Kendrick Lamar over Reiko and added a mic instead of the spear but overall, I think KungLao works better for KungFu Kenny.
Considered adding 21 Savage as a Kameo for Drake since there is a great model from Call of Duty but didn't have an equal person to help Kendrick's side. I didn't spend too long making bug fixes on these. Drake's jacket is an absolute nightmare. Some clipping and weird stuff happening around the armpits for sure.
Mods
Kendrick Lamar over Reiko's 001 Default Skin
Kendrick Lamar over KungLao's 001 Default Skin
Drake over Johnny Cage's 001 Default Skin
New Obstacles
- Duplicating and flipping original body parts
Known Bugs
- Drake armpits are tough on that jacket. Definitely some tearing there as well as a hole. If people are using this and want it corrected, I may replace the jacket instead of trying to fix it.
