Triggered by that Kendrick line 11 years later.... Gotta be the GOAT.

[@BlackforTrump]

Drake at that time ‘´ nobody will talk about that again ‘’ 11 years later we still 😂😂😂

[@Mmlujan]

@@BlackforTrumpmaybe the greatest thing ever lol

[@Hod101]

Bro was pressed by the king of New York line😂

[@user-fq4qy1kb6z]

All New Yorkers are

[@salbey10]

I'm from NY and hands down the layers are crazy. The GOAT of the 21 century... Give him his flowers!!!

[@MowgliDotWav]

highschool me thought Joey Bada$$ had potential to be a GOAT cause he was so good in his highschool years but he slowed down so much

[@MichaelDPrice]

"I'm the king of NY" ... Was meant to trigger people

[@keenannash2947]

He was saying he is Pac and Biggy combined...

[@mattfranklin9724]

It’s a bar about the movie “king of New York” machiavelli’s(makaveli) offspring I’m the king of New York.. biggie called himself Frank white, from “the king of New York” So yes a 2pac & BIG line lol

[@jasonjones281]

How you can’t listen to Kendrick whole album and love hip hop?

[@mjunreal]

People just have different preferences

[@nonamenoface9487]

Actually facts tbh.

[@BluEx22329]

To each their own. I fux with kendrick

[@LCH.RawMan]

Thing about K Dot is, he is SUPER eccentric with his music. He has an immaculate eye for the smallest details, whether it's in his bars, his actual recordings, the use of the beat, the music videos, everything. That makes him so unique, that a lot of people who like that kind of intricate shit, started to put him so high on their personal lists Not saying he wouldn't deserve it, he is one of the true greats imo, but i believe that might be the reason why some don't like him and some put him above all

[@l0nniekvng771]

he is lyrical good on punchlines and he really better than alot of rappers

[@MeAF111]

"I think we have something here, guys" is WILD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@isrealgonzalez2050]

The way he was befuddled when Kendrick said he is the king of new York 😂😂😂

[@Hbepa]

He had no clue what Kendrick was talking about 🤣 but theee weird ny dudes always think they know everything

[@BlackforTrump]

Kdot is a king of New York 😂😂period

[@SweetieMs]

King of The World 🤣

[@BlackforTrump]

@@SweetieMs period

[@jandeman16]

André 3000 doesn’t need a solo album to be on that list, he proved himself already to be one of the best!💯🔥

[@kavuela4422]

He is why kendrick is, his arts existence gave birth to Kendrick’s personas on these songs. Anyone who has listened long enough knows this.

[@alaistermccann2846]

Facts! 3stacks is one of the greatest of all time

[@brambo09]

I mean speakerboxx and the love below are essentially solo albums in a double album

[@jerseydevil1]

I agree to an extent. when the competition is who they are , those kinda things matter. Like some people say biggie isn’t a great because he only had 2 studio albums same with big L & pun. There’s valid arguments on both sides.

[@MrKmcglynn]

Him on Ain’t No Thang is why I originally loved him as a great lyricist

[@OwlFalcon]

He is putting himself there in the top 5 conversation. IT'S CLEAR NO DEBATING! This was is foreshadowing at its finest.

[@ZestyKrisps]

I think control is an example of what rap should be. Rap turned into a 16 bar selling frenzy. Each of their verses was just them speaking their voice. Their writing probably.their story. No time limit. Just letting things be said whatever needed to be said. And in hindsight this is when kendrick literally was on top. All his albums won multiple awards. He kept winning so he called people out to dethrone him. But no one lives rap like Kendrick. He says what he means. He has to say something that means something. Not just to sell a beat. That vision of rap is almost dead.

[@niki4you]

Kicking, screaming, throwing up this Kendrick verse is literally so f*cking fire 🔥 and it literally did exactly what Kendrick wanted and it lit the fire under so many artists to do better

[@SlimKim3]

Not really. None of the rappers he mentioned went on to do any tracks or diss tracks toward him. It was mainly a bunch of underground New York rappers who had a problem with the king of New York line

[@niki4you]

@@SlimKim3 I never said anything about people responding (even though there was plenty of those and not just from NY’ers), what I said was it lit a fire under a lot of artists- which is true. The scene was pretty quite at the time, and because of this verse, because of the conversations that this verse started in the community it reinvigorated the game.

[@blackpixels]

Kendrick's verse was so savage that the Big Sean & Jay Electronica verses got slept on. When this Track first dropped it was Controversial on the Internet... but it was Good for Hip Hop... Everyone was talking about it. ☮️

[@SlimKim3]

Savage because he said a bunch of menus not for the actual lyrical aspect. Bar4bar I save Big Sean kept up with him if you take out the name dropping part

[@mirzasaysrelax]

The fact that its called "Kendricks control verse"

[@gmoney0505]

King of New York line still triggering New Yorkers 😂 He just saying he the best in the world which is a movie and Kurupt said the same line decades before 🤣

[@drsus0]

mission accomlished with the " king of New York" line...lol! btw.. how we feeling on kdot in May 2024?

[@jesussoto7042]

You never heard Kendrick’s Name in the talk of best MC??? Who are you having these conversations with then lol I’ve heard his name on multiple occasions from not just my conversations but interviews as well saying Kendrick is one of the best to touch a Mic. But it’s all subjective I suppose

[@ivancalderon852]

i think older hip hop fans that stopped keeping up mid 2000s know he is good but dont know how good. I was in that camp, stopped listening for a while and came back and understood how good he is.

[@ghstletter5978]

Big Sean is the type of dude to say "Hold on one gosh darn minute???" After listening to this the first time 😂

[@Andros666]

This was a crazy time in music, Kendrick was just like a year and a half into mainstream.. calling himself the GOAT of everything this spawned multiple disses , from Drake , Meek mill , asap rocky

[@Badnbruja]

He actually meant it as a compliment. He said it on an interview. Drake got in his feelings, it would’ve been a diss to not include him haha

[@normaleehi]

also, theres a reason why this song is more commonly referred to as 'The Control Verse' rather than 'Control'.

[@Wickit96]

Man, I wish there were more music reactors when this song came out, the reactions and the hip hop game was crazy, everybody took the king of New York line and made remix diss tracks for it, and then when he named off all the rappers and said he's unaliving them, that had a similar impact to Eminem on kill shot about Diddy and pac

[@ghavindeonarain396]

MrL, In 2012, as a NYer, the atmosphere around the King of New York line was just what you said. I was a young adult getting stupid and East Coast ride or die even though I was rocking with KDot since Section 80. But I gotta admit, 12 yrs later, King Kendrick can claim what he pleases

[@starsa8199]

We need reactions to Kendrick's old songs, Love me some Kendrick Lamar

[@lomiejoysj]

Me Too.🤎

[@jahkareramkissoon419]

I know a lot of people think Kendrick bodied Big Sean but this guy can rapvery very fucking well and this verse just shows Kendrick is just a fucking force of nature.

[@chazbrown5800]

When this track came out he was the king of NY due to the music that was being played in NY…yes it was his being played more than anyone in NY.

[@calmatesmontes9311]

Kendrick lamar ft j cole- black Friday. On this track they both rap over each other's beats. Also, busta rhymes ft kendrick lamar- look over your shoulder, is a must.

[@josegramajo6872]

bro is the king of the rap game rn, NO ONE from NY can fw Kendrick rn so yes he own y’all

[@Dying4pie2180]

As long as Nas is releasing songs Kendrick will never be the king of New York. But everyone else I agree with you.

[@yankees2864]

Nah thats crazy, Kendrick is pretty unanimously among the top 10 best rappers in the game.

[@vancity3030]

Are you saying you can't sit through Section 80, GKMC, TPB, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers? Kendrick is in the top 5 storytellers, no question. To each their own but I'd recommend you go back and listen to each album because not only are they concept albums, they progress and tell the story. Section.80: The traumas and influences inflicted upon his generation GKMC: His childhood of gang ties, addiction, peer pressure, and many other things TPMB: Racial injustice and mental health struggles DAMN: His introspection on his new life of fame and looking back on his life Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers: What is wrong with me

[@lisag31]

Not everybody gone be able to listen to Kendrick like that. I have to take him in pieces, because some of his songs literally make me cry. Cry. Like, who cries listening to a rap song? Kendrick pulls it out of you. And do you know why? Because he's the crack for your brain-the wisdom-the pain-and if you relapse, just gone head put his cd on again....

[@vancity3030]

@@lisag31 I completely relate to this. Music is a pillar of therapy for me. I agree that many more recent Kendrick albums aren't meant to bang. However, to your question, I have no problem admitting that Artists like Kendrick and Mac have songs I've cried to. I'm not really sad but cathartic. Songs like Father Time or Good News have helped me through dark times.

[@harlemkham7650]

Kendricks verse was his way to make the real artist step their pen game up and put out some good music. He doesn't believe he is the king of NY

[@zuezsz]

He didn’t mean it in a literal sense for me I thought it was obvious he was saying that to make more noise and get peoples reaction by saying that

[@jiujitsufighter91]

Punch said he was comparing himself to biggie and pac

[@Wickit96]

There's an interview with how it went down and pretty much Big. Sean wrote his verse and send it out to both of them and put it on the track, I believe he was asked if he thought about rewriting his verse and he said that he felt comfortable with it. But yeah, Kendrick took this song and definitely called out the entire hip hop game to step their game up, Hopsin also had a bar in rebuttal to this on Hop is back, saying Kendrick raised the bar higher for hip hop, unfortunately the little nigga is 4'3, the guy is a midget so his high is still really short to me

[@krcjayhawks]

But Mt Olympus was the most important response

Kendrick is the king of New York

[@user-qy3de2vo8e]

No lie, every time Kendrick is featured in a song, he kills the song like it’s nothing, his verse is always better. But he says he’s the kind of NY, because he’s Makaveli’s offspring, Pac was from New York, and he’s just saying he’s the king of Rap from coast to coast.

[@emiliadumitru8030]

This shit started many a barbershop fights in ny

this is astaple in hip hop history kendricks verse change the direction of big sean forever

[@michaelbraum77]

I disagree that Sean doesn't have bars and punchlines. Detroit vs. Everybody had a fire ass verse! 3 Stacks did have his own album! He had The Love Below in the double album that was 2 solo projects! 3 Stacks had The Love Below, while Big Boi had Speakerboxx.

[@gab0rik]

King of New York is a movie, with Frank White. An alias Biggie used in the day, which is in combination with the Makaveli reference to Tupac.

[@YoungIvy]

Bro Kendrick Lamar’s Entire Verse on the track was SOOOOOO EMINEM inspired…..shit 90s Em inspired really cause you definitely get that 90s Eminem vibe from this entire verse,it’s one of my fav verses on the the song, “Control”…….

[@Vamparina413]

I still don't understand why Drake was so in his feelings hearing this verse. Like he said he has love for them but he will try to kill them when it comes to rapping. Hip hop is a sport like basketball. Like I can totally imagine MJ and Kobe having this mindset so it's still weird he was so offended.

[@VictorPerez-sq3sk]

This is where the Drake butt hurt started. He didn’t like being called out even tho it was a friendly call out

[@joseochoa6267]

Big sean is pretty underrated. He has good flow with good punches. Definitely good vibes

[@user-lv6yg8qe8y]

He's saying that part because of Tupac and him being the offspring of makaveli in my opinion.

[@AKIMBOKNOWS]

"his verse is very long!" its his song, fuck the 15 bar rubric

[@dimitrisbright9807]

As far as Big Sean, this wasn’t his best so this isn’t really a fair first impression of a listen but he really is dope and has gotten much much better with his pen since then

[@Senpapii_]

Speaks volume that he considered Mac Miller a peer and not mgk.

[@r3ckless377]

Discredited the moment you said u can’t consider Andre one of the best😭

[@SlimKim3]

The King of New York line can be taking a couple of different ways. Obviously on the surface it sounds like he's just saying he's better than all New York rappers. Well from a certain aspect he's not wrong because Kendrick music (at least at the time) got more plays and more hits than any other New York rapper locally or mainstream and his music sold out better than all the other New York rappers. So from a certain perspective you could say he was the King of New York as far as numbers and sales for rapping. Then the other way that a lot of people don't recognize is that the bar was originally by a rapper named Korrupt and his meaning for it was basically say he was Christopher Wallace which was a guy in a movie called King of New York. So yeah it's a slick way to put a bar in because he's technically saying he's like Christopher Wallace but at the same time it sounds like he's flat out saying he's the king of New York which he wasn't.

[@user-lv6yg8qe8y]

Also Tupac lived i New York and Cali

[@blackjay3771]

Kendrick shook the game with this verse and Drake still didn’t learn to use extreme caution. Guess where he is? Canada, hiding out in the most expensive piece of Swiss cheese. 😂😂

[@richardthacker7272]

Big Sean no favors feat. Eminem

[@Francisc0Jos0Rio]

This is old, but on the king of New York line, I think he was referring to himself as the embodiment of pure hip hop. It was a shout out to Biggie and Pac. Listen to the whole bar. I'm the "offspring" of "makiaveli"- 2Pac I'm the king off New York-Biggie. He was shouting his peers in the name of competition "I'm tryna raise the bar high" he cares about hip hop and keeping alive. I think they all understood except for drake he got on his feelings about it.

[@LCH.RawMan]

That whole "I'm 'Pac's offspring, I'm the King of New York" line alone had like three layers 1) he is a mix of Biggie and Tupac, simple and easy 3) he's the offspring of Tupac. 'Pac's first rapper name was MC New York. Basically sayin he learned from New York Hip Hop Culture / grew up with New York Hip Hop enough to now be even better than all the current artists out there 3) he came from MC New York but surpassed him and became the King of New York But the end effect remains the same: he shitted on the WHOLE rap game, sayin he's the best cause he had the greatests teaching him 😂

[@WHADATBOYNAMEIS]

youre nuts.this bangs

[@mehow2g]

Bro, I'm soo happy that you reacted to some kendrick, I hope you dive into his music his older stuff is pretty damn top notch, his album section 80 is a 10/10.

Why won't you listen to a Kendrick album, they are only about an hour and you have loved every Kendrick song you have ever listened too, I do not understand why you can't listen to him.

You do yourself a huge disservice when you do not listen to an entire Kendrick album. I was born and raised in Harlem and was 9 years old when I first began listening to Dr. Dre The Chronic. That album was my GateWay to appreciating West Coast music.

[@petermcconnell8593]

Kendrick got a lot of hate for that king of NY line. A group of NY rappers got together and dissed him including Joel Ortiz, papoose and many more. You should check it out
