Kendrick Lamar(Shots Fired!!!!) "Control"

Lupe and joell killed it

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.

competition which could lead to everyone getting shine>>>beef which could lead to things going way too far and careers or more ended

budden aint gon do shit but tweet about it anyway

 

[A$AP_A$TON]

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.

 

[Muhannad]

I know I'm late but this was exactly what hip hop needed. Kendrick blacked out. BOB and Joell Ortiz already responded. I wanna see n*ggas go at in on wax (n/h).

 

[Mr.LV]

Lupe and joell killed it

My favorite 2 responses shit is sick.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Mayn I thought that Lupe shit was weak.

I can't stand that 'dare to be different' nigga. Kendrick dropped a hot verse. It would have been hot in any era. Dunno why he's talkin' like niggas are too easily impressed when the verse is dope

I get what he's saying, but nigga rap this shit. Don't do an interview about it. Go back in the booth or release some of this music you got saying you the best. This shit here is what I have an issue with

 

[Meta_Conscious]

that B.O.B. beat is wack as fuck... he was actually spitting tho... and I dont fuck with his music at all...

Joell >>> B.O.B. response >>> Lupe

I understand him but at this point it's about bars. The regular rap nigga braggadocio isn't sufficient right now. Lyrics are on people's minds, you not talkin lyrics then shut up.

yea....

King Los did a track.....

 

[S2J]

Im slowly readin thru this thread, but the fact that NUMEROUS cats r sayin 'big sean verse aint that bad' is why we here in the first place.

It takes a verse like Kendricks to show how average most these new nggas are! Aside from Jay elec, the guys name droped are Average! They get good production and tell oaisionally good stories, but they are not it. Not in comparison to thier pedecessors. Thank you Kendrick Lamar (who is overhyped himself) for highlighting exctly that point.

However...Now watch Joe Budden show that Kendrick is not '90s nice' either and show the even higher level

What the hell is 90's nice? If a rapper is nice he's nice. It's like when people say certain athletes wouldn't be good if they played in the past. If you're good enough your talent will always shine through. Not every rapper in the 90's was "90's nice" yet we still remember their songs and fuck with their music.

Oh really?

90's nice is just a metpahor for 'back in the day'...i wont even bring up the literal 90's and the obvious fact that rappers then are better than those now. Wont even bring it up.

But even the early 2000s nggas were '90s nice'

When the last time you listened to Beans n Jada's beef? Compare it to this.

Jay vs Nas (of course). Compare it to this.

When the last time you listened to Jada easily embarass and destroy 50 lyrically...with ALL TRUTH...no metaphors. Compare it to this.

State Property killin it at Hot 97 w/ Jay-z losin his mind...that same night Cassidy damn near birthed battle rap as we STILL know it now, by murderin Freeway...i could go on and on

The competition level is lower now, Period.

I mean, just LOOK at the names he mentioned as his compettion...Asap Rocky....Meek Mill...Mac Miller (kys w/ the 'mac miller got bars' shyt) Gtfoh.

Shyt is like Bosie State football goin 13-0 every fukin year Lol Nobody cares b/c i know they aint beatin nobody.

"It ain't about how many fIghts you had, it's who you fought"

You too busy comparing shit from a decade and 2 decades ago that you missing out on what is actually happening right now. 90's nice makes no damn sense because for one you're eliminating anything that came before then which means you're cutting off alot of hip-hop greats that weren't that big in the 90's but were nice before then. Think about how many legendary rappers who came out in the 80's but flamed out by the 90's yet we still hold them up. Do they not count because they're not "90's nice"? You can't compare actual beefs to this shit because this is NOT a beef/diss. The things you listed were all rappers who had legit issues with each other and it was more than some "I'm the best rapper" shit it was literally on some "If I see you we fighting" type shit. You've heard Beans and Jada speak on their beef. That shit was real beef between two crews who just happened to rap as well. We just happened to get some good diss songs out of it. Competition doesn't mean niggas have to beef and dislike each other, it just means nobody slacks off when it comes to proving they're the best. Which can be done w/o all the extra shit being done off records.

Yes, it was real beef, but they also just happened to be better rappers (in this type format) than any of these new nggas. Again, in THIS type format.

Thats what yall dont understand...I/you/we dont HAVE to crown none of these new dudes. And i listen to all of them. They make good, sometimes great music. But it is possible to seperate their music from their actual skill level as rappers.

As rappers, they are AVERAGE...Not kendrick, but the rest of his new ngga "competition"

As far as i'm concerned the whole era is full of guys hyped up just b.c there's nobody else at the top. From now on out ima call em Bosie St rappers. Yea..i like that

 

[DOPEdweebz]

To be honest if Drake dropped a track and responded to this "head-on", then this thread will needs it own subforum.

 

[Meta_Conscious]

Los shit was meh... Fred was spitting over a wack ass beat... somebody need to jump on one of Kendrick GKMC beats... duh...
