Kendrick Lamar's Control Verse | Dead End Hip Hop Convo

everybody did step their game up after this verse though

I think that was the point

[@TMessenger]

The Boy how was views in anyway a concept album? It was a collection of random, half arsed tracks that had no storyline linking them together at all IMO.

[@lubmang5072]

WM_ 96 Kendrick might of been a part of that but I think it’s an era thing and not him. Hip hop evolves like any genre and with that the content becomes more complex and conceptual. Gambino was going to make BTI regardless of Kendrick or not. They came out around the same time too.

if Kendrick was to ever get into a rap beef.. he would murder his adversary. Look at his BET Cypher verse... and that was just a response to rappers like Drake that acted sensitive just a few times towards Control. Who gone test King Kendrick?

[@uncledrew7633]

Exactly

[@dlcj06]

Now look

[@Missingnin69]

You called it. Kendrick did get into a rap beef. And it's worldwide national news. In some way, if it started the drake beef in some small way, the control veerse did change the world.

[@Nazhussain07]

Dang

[@mohamedfahad2364]

He did

[@MTWENTY]

Man looking back at this video, it just makes me think that this was the last breath of the new school of Hip Hop that’s was actually good. Everyone that K. Dot mentioned in that verse from KRIT to Cole to Tyler and A$AP was the last of the dying breed of Hip Hop originality and people that can actually rap.

[@eggsrsweet]

Yeah pretty much everyone Kendrick mentions went on to have huge careers throughout the 2010s and are still relevant today -- with maybe the exception of Wale lol (no disrespect to him, he's just not as big now as any of the other rappers mentioned).

[@TheManofThings777]

Big K.R.I.T. had the best response, by far. He made his own beat, and he brought fire.

i love Myke's non-hoopin ass not knowing what "run it back" means. hilarious

[@prosecutorgodot519]

awesome that u guys did this less than 24 hours after the track dropped! in retrospect, C-Town got it right.

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

King Los (even though he wasn't named), Big Krit, & Bronson (even though he wasn't named) had the best responses. Papoose & a lot of NY niggas took it personally & Drake caught feelings. As good as Lupe is, his response was lame.

[@douglasnotdoug2517]

[@FallenAngelDarkSoul]

He's done this though with the MOnster freestyle from like '09 and I think that name dropping was better than Control haha but this verse was a really good verse especially that extended metaphor at the end.

[@4newestaccoun]

myke last comment on point: "no other mainstream rapper is really gonna do that cause they so afraid of burning bridges and fucking up relationships" and since kdot is like fuck that this is why ppl react in the way they do, they see a claim verse as a diss verse when its rlly not

[@blashthumm]

The brilliance of putting this on a track called "Control" ; Kendrick is experimenting with social control. He's saying some shit that'll stir the pot and seeing what will happen. He wants to see the lengths of his power as an MC to influence the masses. Like a king testing the limits of his domain.

[@benhurzz]

myke: "what does that mean" 😂😂😂😂

[@iamrisko]

That's why I love DEHH, they sacrificed some of their lunch hour to bring us more content...anybody who took the verse as a diss "fan/rapper" are from the twightlight zone..I like how k.r.i.t and meek millz responded, they took it as a compliment for one, and opportunity to get more ppl to listen to their music due to the shoutout and a reminder that rap is a sport and if you don't come to play ball you will perish!!!

[@babygirl660992]

Lmfaoooooo "I thought it was called 'do over'" lmfaoooo that's something I would say

[@fd3s64]

At the end of the day it doesnt matter that Joel or whoever set the bar higher or went harder, Its the fact that Kendrick made him go in the studio and try to respond/record a better verse which means that Kendrick got him to do what he wanted.

[@hkbessieford851]

you know what's crazy? after the verse, everyone's next project, with the exception of drake, meek, and tyler, was the best of their career to that point. the effects are still very real and present even in 2016

[@calebw3353]

And Drake's next project (which was Nothing Was The Same) was his best project to date and still is, was that directly attributed to the verse? Probably not, but it may have had an effect

[@hkbessieford851]

+Caleb W well and then after that, IYRTITL was his most aggressive sound that he's out. even though the project wasn't as good, it was like 5am in Toronto but for a whole project, u know?

[@robertkirby5955]

Exactly.

[@robertkirby5955]

T.I. is the most widely known trap rapper, and he is lyrical as fuck. I don't know what the hell he saw in Young Thug, but you can't deny the fact that T.I. can at least hold his own on the microphone.

[@robertkirby5955]

Romy Taylor True, he ain't in that lifestyle anymore. When you got 9 albums under your belt, a successful (and actually GOOD) reality show and legendary status, the shit you did in the come-up is another chapter in your life that's long gone.

[@kavan1773]

Those guys weren't named at all though. I'd argue that most of the names mentioned did step up their game and are much better now than they were then.

"twitters response to any new rap music is quite possibly the most annoying thing this world has to offer." - Earl Sweatshirt He's always being honest and I love it.

[@YoDawgoneeleven]

Kendrick blew up all social media and popular culture related to Hip Hop. Kendrick got Hip Hop off of the girls, money and clothes bandwagon. The more competitive Hip Hop Great Awakening began (IMHO) on Yeezus when Kanye began to break down normal rap barriers, although he did it with bad lyrics and too much auto tune. K-Dot finished getting the ball rolling (fuck molly, fancy clothes, etc.). I've got a bad feeling about Eminem's MMLP2, but if I'm wrong, Em will finidh putting rap in it's place.

[@OlChamberGenius]

Love that they work together.

[@the67theory]

I like the way joey went in on 95 till infinity and the way kendrick went in on this. The aggression is what makes it a step up above dudes jus spittin. Kendrick has emotion wen he raps that's a major reason why he's the best. If u don't think kendrick sayin he's the king of new york will spark controversy then u sir r mistaken

[@Shemzinho]

Denver Mm Mural wasn't better than Control? You're kidding me.

[@denvermm3853]

Shemzinho Did I say that? No Mural is better than control in every shape and form, but I didn't say control>Mural. I am angry that someone would go back on a song that was made over a year ago just to say Mural is better. Lupe dickriders just praise Lupe in every way and it annoys the shit out of me. Why is mural even spoken of in a song that has no association with him.

Very dope discussion. This mirrors the dialogue between friends and hip hop fans all over the world. I agree with all your perspectives. What really irks me about the general responses to the track are ppl who are saying Kendrick dissed. Thats so telling of what wrong with hip hip fans nowadays. Theyre either not listening or they cant comprehend complex or simple bars. That kills me. But overall, dope song, dope responses and discussion

[@aphelionmusic]

Prepare yourselves folks, since Kendrick is gaining popularity he is about to become cool to hate. It's coming.

[@bioniccorndog]

Rapping is not just making words rhyme. Hip hop is a culture and an art form. MC Kendrick brilliantly used this verse to try to spark some inspiration into rappers that have gotten too comfortable in feeding their sheep the same thing day in and day out.

[@itsnoya5520]

They should've made a video about some of responses

[@hiphopismydrug1]

Joell Ortiz response is the best so far. I applaud Kendrick for making mainstream hip-hop interesting again.

[@Muyiwa87]

I also commend K. Dot because out of everyone name he dropped in the verse, I can't see no one else taking such leap amongst his peers(Drake, Wale, Meek, Big Sean, etc), Jay Z and Eminem I know for a fact could have done this but they're both in their 40's and I digress!
