3 years later: Yall still think Kendrick had the best verse on Control?

[R2_163]

tbh I always liked jay elec 's verse better

kendrick's just had more controversy. which I appreciated

 

[_Goldie_]

K.dot had the best verse when it came out and still has the best verse 3 years later

 

[LcnsdbyROYALTY]

Yes

 

[SheerExcellence]

i thought and still think that Big Sean had the best verse

 

[LPast]

Let's not forgot what actually makes the verse unique. As someone in the new generation he called people out by name... Not to battle, but to put people in notice that he is pushing to be a GOAT. Meaning he wants to be put in a category ABOVE his peers.

heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time

Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas

Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all

New niggas just new niggas, don't get involved

And I ain't rockin no more designer shit

White T's and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous

I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' wit

But this is hip hop and them niggas 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 niggas

Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas

They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas

 

[_God_]

Whole song was average

I love what Kendricks verse stood for, inserting some competition into the game. Doesn't make it the better verse though.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Yes

 

[Stew]

What Kendrick did is what made Tupac as big as he was(not by any means am I comparing the 2). His verse more impactful than it was just about "bars", while also rhyming nshit.

 

[BlueIceBranson]

funny how nobody even cares that it's big sean's song lol. but yeah 3 years later kendrick still has the best verse. i never did like the beat though

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Jay Electronica quite clearly had the best verse. Then and now.

Hype verse from K. though except that long AF simile at the end kinda took a lil shine off it

 

[KingFreeman]

Big sean.

 

[genocidecutter]

Yes

 

[BobOblah]

Kendricks verse was more impactful. But when I listen to Control I'm tempted to skip past Kendrick's verse to get to Jay Elects because his is iller.

 

[Colin$mackabi$h]

Damn it dont even feel like it was 3 years

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Kendricks verse is all hype. Take away him name droppin and you get your standard Kendrick verse. It don't mean it wasn't dope, it's just not as amazing as folks make it out to be.

 

[LPast]

Before y'all continue. If Kendrick didn't spit what he did, we wouldn't have this thread today...

 

[StoneColdMikey]

K.dot had the best verse when it came out and still has the best verse 3 years later

 

[CashmoneyDux]

Kendricks verse was more impactful. But when I listen to Control I'm tempted to skip past Kendrick's verse to get to Jay Elects because his is iller.

This. Jay Elect had the best verse

Verse was a product of listening to so many bum ass rappers for so long when you finally get a decent verse y'all don't know how to act. Overrated af
