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

[Bcotton5]

Sean had the best verse

 

[dwade206]

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

Close thread. Smh @ the question.

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Jay Elect had the best verse plus he did more with less.

 

[nickel-us P]

Kendrick had that energy around him

 

[Turfaholic]

Kendrick verse was dope for the necessary name drops 3 years ago.

Listening now though, I like Sean verse better. After Dark Skies Paradise, I went back and listened to alot allot of Sean shit. The Reason won't admit it, but current top 3 of Hip hop goes:

Kendrick

Cole

Sean

 

[KnowReasonForPeace]

I appreciated k.dot naming names more than anything on that record. Subliminals are for bitches.

That Detroit mixtape is better than dark sky paradise.

I dont even like Big Sean but this is truth, when i first listened to that shit i thought dude really had potential.

 

[Stew]

Niggas be like "Name names" all the time. He did that with no fucks given. Nuff said.

 

[BobOblah]

Yeah, because he called out what he views as the entire rap game BY NAME. His verse will go down in rap history for that alone.

It's not even a question who had the best verse.

I asked it though. And we've got some varying answers in here.

 

[BangEm_Bart]

Why would I change my mind. Kendrick been consistent.

 

[NuffRespect]

I give it to Papoose

 

[blackrain]

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.

You can't accurately judge the verse w/o the name dropping though because that's a huge part of it. Of course if you take away that part it wouldn't make as much of an impact.

 

[soul rattler]

Objectively, now that the shine is off the apple, I appreciate Big Sean's verse more than Kendrick. Kendrick brought a crazy level of energy and wordplay but Sean had coherent thoughts and meaningful content. People under-reacted to Big Sean just as much as they overreacted to Kendrick Lamar.

All that being said Jay Electronica had the best verse. The fact that he had the shortest verse having not heard anyone else's verse makes alot of a difference. His shit was like fighting a Monk who can hit pressure points to knock you out in 5 seconds flat.

 

[lordstanley]

People saying Sean had the best verse wanna be different sooo bad..

 

[lordstanley]

As much as it's been overhyped since, that don't change the fact that Kendrick went the fuck off

 

[BlackAX410]

1st time listening to this in a while I said Kendrick then and still feel that way

"I'm silent as a rock cuz I came from a rock, that's why I came from a rock and signed my name on the Roc" yall really think Jay elec had the best verse in this song? Lol

 

[janklow]

Kendrick's Control verse = best Control verse

Come on man, you rap too. You know those lines aren't as simple as you're making them seem
