niggas gon feel some type of way about Wale thinking he the best rapper out..........the irony

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

imo, it might be dope seeing the other guys on the tier with B.O.B. (pill, cyhi, curren$y, wizard, tyga, etc) going as hard as they can tryin get up there to that A & B tier of the artists kendrick mentioned

 

[R2_163]

Everytime I hear people mention B.o.b I imagine a black kid that wanted to be a famous pop rock star but niggas didn't take him seriously so he decided to rap. didn't bother listening to his shit. He's one of those identity crisis havin ass niggas

 

[StillFaggyAF]

Mickey killed it

 

[JokerzWyld]

But why mention rappers that are already dope though? Why not mention Gucci, Waka, Future, Chief Keef, Migos, Y.G. etc and other wack niggas. Truth be told 3 of the niggas he said in my humble opinion are better than him. Krit, Cole and Jay Elec.

Those wack rappers aren't worth mention. If the fans get excited for hearing talented rappers, wack rappers will disappear on their own.

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

If Curren$y really took this type of challenge seriously, it would be very interesting

 

[Meta_Conscious]

this shit really separating the MCs from the rappity rap niggas... u dont respond, dont ever say u the best on the mic...

Wale with the cop out.

 

[DOPEdweebz]

One thing for sure everybody NOT MENTIONED will respond within the next 12 days (so it seems).

Officially the worst response since B.O.B.......

My nigga tweeted yesterday that half the rap game is in the studio right now. Meanwhile Currensy is twit pic'n Hot Wheels cars. Lol

S/N

There is something to be said about a nigga given no fucks about that verse. That's kinda dope in it's own right. Especially if they can really rap.

Because this aint retard rap, It would take chief keef 3 years to try and reply in a lyrical form that was coherent and considered real rap/plain English. KDOT knew who to address and who to leave out because they obviously aint even on his radar of competition or lyricism for that matter

Big K.R.I.T. spoke with HipHopDX about his reaction to the verse, explaining how it connects with Hip Hop history.

“Rap, Hip Hop has always been mad competitive,” K.R.I.T. said Tuesday. “It's exciting because it was probably crazier for his fans, for him to mention my name among rappers that people would consider top tier, [rappers] people kind of look at as being the future and my name just randomly popped up. So what I got an opportunity to see a little bit last night and this morning, was just people that probably never tweeted me before, whether it be negative or positive. For me, it was like, ‘Thank you for the promotion.’"

Kendrick Lamar's verse may introduce new fans to K.R.I.T. who were previously unaware of his skills as a lyricist, he said.

“It let people know that, ‘Yeah, I'm from the South and yeah, I'm country but you ain’t going to take me lightly," K.R.I.T. said. "Aint none of these rappers going to take me lightly on a record.’ And [Kendrick Lamar] know that. So that's why my name ended up on that list. If you think about ‘1 Train,’ or any record, I’ma give my all. People know that I'm a lyricist and I can compete with some of the best and it is what is. I appreciate the shout out because that’s really what it is. It’s a competitive sport; it’s a gladiator sport. Don't nobody want to get murdered on a record. That just it is what is. So I don’t know, brother. I was like, ‘Hell yeah.’ It is what it is. Thank you for the shout out and shout out to all the fans that he may have that didn't know about my music and now they gon’ go back and listen to records and check out ‘1 Train,’ and want to know why he felt the need to mention my name. And I’m 100% sure he probably gets tired of going to barbershops and hearing my name mentioned where he is and vice-versa. It's all good man. It's all within the sport.”

Joe budden and pusha t...the only nggas I want to hear w/ a rebuttal

The rest? On the low Drake is more built for this than yall's saviors Krit, j cole, wale, etc...But make no mistake...none of the new guys have 'it'. You can almost read the accompanying 'this is just rap it aint no beef' interview that will follow. ...fuk these overrespecrful nggas. They all soft.

So they supposed to beef with a nigga who made it clear the verse wasn't meant as some "let's beef" shit?

Uh, yes ngga. Yes. Thats pretty much exactly what I'm saying.

By 'beef' i mean just go in lyrically...like your prepared to make this ngga mad and never talk to em again...no caveats...no explanations...no 'its all love, thats my brother, its compettion, blah blah blah'. Like you prepared to not fuk with NONE of these nggas

These new nggas wana be part of EVERY circle. TDEMMGOVO foh Lol

Its moments like this where i appreciate 50. Where all the lone wolfs at? Where all the anti-social rappers

Hence why i said: Give me Budden and Pusha and no one else. Thye will make this shyt UNCOMFORTABLE.

You see where 50 being anti-social has gotten his music career right? No release date in sight for how many years now? Like me and others keep saying, you can be competitive as you want w/o being disrespectful. You talking about Budden when Budden is part of Slaughter House which is what again? Oh yeah a group of solo rappers with careers already who came together to form a group. Pusha who not only been part of a group his whole career minus the past 2 years but also joined up with Good Music instead of doing something independent for his solo stuff. You picked the two rappers who represent what you say you hate.

@ bolded: Nggas, boy i tell you. Do we really wanna use 50 cent as an example of how NOT to win in the rap game? Lol

Lets not use a 3 year snapshot to undercut a 10+ yr career.

@ undrlined- Yea, you keep thinkin that. You think Nas got to a level of Ether b/c of his respect for Jay z? Pressure makes diamonds (no pun). Exactly how hard do u think a ngga gon go at somebody he goin to lunch with the next day?

Same thing is goin on in the NBA! All the teams that have given Lebron problems have grown to literally dislike this ngga (Pacers, Celtics, Mavs)

Meanwhile Kevin "I'm tired of being 2nd place" Durant is workin out with Lebron all summer, wonderin why he cant pass him...

I digress, but i trust u get the point.

 

[deemula420]

In true competitiveness you want to go up against the best, Not play against folks you know you can beat with ease.

this shit really separating the MCs from the rappity rap niggas... u dont respond, dont ever say u the best on the mic...

Do you feel like a response has to be direct, ie mentioning Kendrick's name, or would releasing a dope new song with BARS be sufficient? In other words can it just be some fresh shit where someone is raising the bar lyrically or do you expect it to be provocative on purpose like Kendrick's verse?

it doesnt have to be "direct" as long as it is creative and the message is clear... flip his beats, use his voice on the hook... something...

these niggas done forgot how to do hip hop...

An indirect subliminal response with crazy dope bars is all I expect

I like how Pusha handled it on twitter and expect a response like that
