[@ME-gs6yn]

That last part of the verse where he starts off “I’m trying raise the bar high” goes through three alliteration rhyme schemes. G then P then S. GPS. Kenny was telling them where the bar had been raise to giving them locations with that verse Jesus Christ this man is different

[@mvp5316]

We all know its him. Who else is he going to be? 😂

[@rotondachew1812]

I mean Big Sean allowed this verse to stay on HIS song! Tf, I would have!

[@JamesonMusic808]

This isn’t “Like That” this was playfully telling the rest to step up to dot’s level. He still worked with guys he name dropped and Mac playfully poked back on Faces just showing that they love each other. “Like that” though…there was absolutely nothing friendly about that😂Bro wasn’t telling them to “step up” he was telling them to STRAP up

[@TheDangerNoodle]

The difference really is that this verse from Control is a genuine display of a level of lyricism and performance that most others in the game can't reach. Hes telling them to step up to his level while also displaying just how much higher his level is than theirs. As he said "I'm tryna raise the bar high, who tryna jump and get it? You'd be better off tryna sky-dive." Like That is much more "you seem to have forgotten *who the fuck I am."* while like you said Control is just him shaking things up for friendly competition.

[@dirtbagxbrrrt9198]

Ayo hold up ain't no way😂😂😂 that's god level trolling

[@mrbmore410]

Real talk, I neeeeeeever saw this as a diss to anyone he named. It's forgotten that the core of hip hop was competition. Hip Hop was and still is a competitive genre. That's why when he said "I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin wit/But this is Hip Hop and these niggas should know what time it is..." and the finished his list of names with "this is competition, I'm tryin to raise the bar high, who's tryin to jump and get it?" I was like OH, HE ISSUING A CHALLENGE!!😮 He's saying I'm trying elevate this genre that pays us from the space it's in to something greater. BUT, it being competition he had to throw down that quick slap. People put their best work and go the hardest they FEEL someone going at their neck. But people heard the bars and names and instinctively took it as a diss. And good on them, because they came back with their best bars in defense. This was the shot in the arm Hip Hop needed for real.

[@sk_wr]

Facts Kendrick ain’t dissing he wants a challenge Nobody today will come close though not gonna lie. He goes beyond rap it’s lyrical poetry Untitled unmastered is a great example Crazy as it sounds, songs like these he actually DUMBS DOWN his lyrics

[@shongeee]

Right!!!

[@ZayForReal_]

You are absolutely right to say that people only paid attention to the name dropping part of the verse. That’s actually what Drake was saying when he asked how the verse starts.

[@SolidSnake240]

Facts. I remember when this dropped and that's all people focused on. Kendrick said so much other dope shit in the verse but it got overshadowed by some name-drops.

[@greg2797]

That is NOT what Drake was saying lol Drake was saying everyone would eventually forget the song and it was just shock value. But he was wrong because it is still being talked about till this day 10 years later

[@ZayForReal_]

@@greg2797 he literally asked “How does that verse start?” Emphasizing how nobody knew any part of the verse besides his name dropping.

[@greg2797]

@@ZayForReal_ he asked Elliot how does it start on the spot lol listen to the rest of that interview. He was salty and saying he is only focused on making things that last. He literally was saying people would forget the verse in time. He was wrong

Now I want you to listen and analyze Big Sean's verse to this song. Just listen to how many bars are in Big Sean's Verse. Sean even replies to Kendrick name dropping in his verse aswell. This was one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. And it was Big Sean and Kentrick combined that made it happen.

[@ProwessGlobal]

He said the Parachute is a condom. lmao Jump if you want to, you're still phucked. 😂😂😂 The man said the parachute not gon save you.

I know I’m late, but Scru…punch has told that Diddy and J. Cole story a couple times now. Kendrick wasn’t being bullied and J. Cole stepped in🤦🏾‍♀️ Cole & Diddy were having an argument before Kendrick and his team got to the VMAs after party about the verse so once Kendrick got there… Cole & Kendrick were talking and Diddy walked up and told Cole he didn’t like how he talk to him previously and that’s how the fight happened🤷🏽‍♀️ now the fight was over Kendrick’s verse, but it wasn’t a situation where Kendrick was being bullied & Cole came and saved the day, so that’s probably why he didn’t use that in the battle🤷🏽‍♀️😂

Yo! I love this K-Dot. This is what separated him from the rest of the game. He took a page from his brother from another mother Eminem. “I’d diss Melly Mell if I had too” that’s a shout out to Em. Dre just stated Em is the best rapper period.. Dre worked with them all. I know EM white and all but don’t get it twisted. He will ride with Kendrick and all corny lines a side EMs bars are second to none. “If I was half as good as I used to be, I’m still twice as good as you’ll ever be”
