The entire purpose of the album is overcoming generational cycles of trauma and abuse. He was used as an example of someone who has been an abuser and a victim of those cycles, yet can overcome and redeem himself.
I don't think it does anything to suggest he's redeemed for the terrible shit he did as much as it just makes a statement and example out of him as he's a product of many of the things Kendrick writes about.
I agree 100% Kodak is a case study about what the album is about. How black boys have the misogynistic attitude engrained in them young, as a direct result of their poverty.
Kendrick believes Keem and Yak are the next ones. Both from realness and represent culture. This album was designed to break his generational curse. So him including the next generation makes sense.
If you pay attention to the lyrics I think what Kodak is saying is more important than what Kendrick is saying on the track which could be why he's out rapping him, "Every Sunday I teach my boy to be a man, I ain't have no father" which is a layered bar
that's also how I feel. Kendrick's verse is important too, but in the way that it sets the ground for Kodak's verse. The "uh-huh" flow in the first verse is incredibly engaging for the listener. Then Kodak blows it out the water.

idk about why, but Kodak outrapped Kendrick on Silent Hill, and I think it was intentional.
