Rappers respond on Twitter to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on “Control” (Video)
By Mike Dyce
Yesterday Big Sean released a track that didn’t make it on his upcoming Hall of Fame album called “Control” that featured a controversial verse from Kendrick Lamar.
Here are the controversial lyrics everyone is particularly buzzing about:
“‘Bout who’s the best MC?
Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y’all
New n****s just new n****s, don’t get involved
And I ain’t rockin no more designer sh**
White Ts and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous
I’m usually homeboys with the same n****s I’m rhymin’ wit
But this is hip-hop and them n****s should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale, Pusha T, Meek Millz,
A$AP Rocky, Drake, Big Sean, Jay Electron’, Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I’m tryna murder you n****s
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you n****s
They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you n****s
What is competition? I’m tryna raise the bar high…”
Lupe Fiasco ghost wrote rappers responses to Kendrick’s verse.
So what do other rappers think about Kendrick Lamar’s verse?
I hear u loud and clear my nigga... @kendricklamar

Every rapper is supposed to feel like Kendrick feels as far as wanting to murder niggas on the mic. That's why I wrote my "Murder" verse.

How about the Rappers from New York who were offended by this verse:
“I’m Machiavelli’s offspring, I’m the king of New York
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both.”
Any studios open yet?

Kendrick Lamar hasn’t tweeted yet. They talked about it on Hot 97’s “the Realness” segment:
rappers who are the most hurt are not the ones named -- quite the opposite..the ones named were the chosen few... congrats
