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

[SnuffDaddy]

The verse was good/necessary but what I come to realize (fan of his music, btw) is all he has to do is rap 'aggressive' and ppl'll automatically say he killed it/overhype it. If I'm wrong, name 5 hot lines - without going back to listen, if possible. The funny part is ppl trynna make it a eastcoast-westcoast thing over one line (add to the fact it wasn't one eastcoast rapper on the song) when the focus should be on him saying he better than EVERY rapper and placing his name w/ the elites. The whole purpose was him crowning himself and drawing a line for competition, yet it's rappers from Cali celebrating & NY rappers congregating.

Also, Sean either re-laid his verse w/ subliminals toward the mid way point or Kendrick's was directly inspired by that. I'll go with the former, the 'you write ya name w/ a sharpie' line was kind of slick as well as the 'name drop' & 'O.G.' lines.

And no diss but let's be real Jay-Z is NOT gonna stand up for NY to go at Kendrick.

Nah ... he definitely wouldn't.

He's been lyrically beaten on wax years back.

Lyrically,none of these new niggas is fucking with the jiggas,nas Lupe's of the rap game.. None of them except jay e.. That's not even a diss to them becuz they good n their own right but a lot of niggas come aggressive on a track and niggas hyping them up to be the next goat.. I hear Kendrick flow fast and that's cool and all but never anything that make me stop the track over and over again becuz I'm just shocked about what I heard.. I did replay it to make sure I heard everything tho

c/s......I think Kendrick is dope. I think GKMC is a soon to be classic. I think his mixtapes are dope as well. However, it initially took me a while to get into his music. Nigguhs kept saying he was so dope, but I just didn't see it. I grew up in the era of true rap legends......nigguhs who when you heard them spit some shit you had to rewind to check wtf he just said cause it was so crazy. Kendrick makes good songs, but I can't think of one bar he has ever spit that had me like....

That is the honest to god, unbiased truth. I think the game is so absolutely trash and fans are so eager to have that next "Jordan of rap" that people are elevating certain rappers to a "lyrical" level they really aren't on in comparison to the greats of the past and present. Again, I think K-Dot is dope and he makes some great music, but "lyrically"....and I'm talking about dope, gotta ass, rewind that bars....he's cool. He's got a dope delivery. He's a dope freestyler.....but he's never spit a verse that I had on repeat 10+ times in a row. He is definitely one of the best of this generation, but he still has some growing to do imo.

The most realistic shit ever wrote on hear about dude and that verse. Wish I could goat and cosign a 1000x.

Strongly disagree. I think yall are looking for lines.

He's still lyrical but he just so happens to deliver his lyrics in another way which is more about stories & something specific & how he breaks it down rather than slick lines here & there, which i think he does have.

I think yall more used to the old school New York way of rapping which is understand but that isnt the only definition of being lyrical.

 

[ohhhla]

Niggas thinking having the 'Hitchcock syndrome' is being lyrical?

SMH@ you niggas.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

SMH @ Lupe fans pretty much proving those calling him overrated to be correct. His verse has been posted and re-posted like 100 times in this thread. It was a decent response, but it's not nearly as good as ya'll are making it.s If we didn't think it was the greatest verse of all time, we're not going to believe it our 93rd time seeing it. And if you were swinging from Lupe's nuts before he even spit the verse, you don't need to post the verse for us to know where you're hanging. Obsessive fans are the reason some cats get hate they don't deserve.

I was just listening to Lupe verse again and I caught something that made me laugh at this nucca thought process. .

In his verse he said " My left foot is in L.A. but my right foot is in Spain". Out of all places, why is his right foot in Spain? On a physical map if you can picture someone who placed there left foot in L.A and if you find Spain on the Map and place your right foot there, that means your "nuts" is in New York.LOL. Kendrick said he the KONY...LOL.

If im reaching please tell me.

You Mr. Fantastic on that one.

Kendrick said he juggles both coasts (being the king national nationally), Lupe was said he stands from LA to Spain, meaning the king internationally.

Hope that helps clear that up.

Y'all frontin' like Lupe's whole style isn't mr. fantastic struggle bars. He could have very well meant what dude was talking about.

So now we going to act like NYers haven't been doing the super collabs forever? We going to act your god Jay-Z don't try to jump a track with whoever is hot at the moment? Ok

And let's not act like NY doesn't have it's fair share of wack rappers, they just don't get the fame that the South's wack rappers get for whatever reason. And lol @ one of the few new NY niggas that is getting some shine, doing everything he can to look like he's from the South.

Smh at only washed up rappers no one listens too being the only ones responding trynna get that little 15 minutes

Jr Writer ????c'mon nigga

Shits sad b

If its a good response its a good response. Hip hop fans need to stop putting expiration on rappers cuz they shaved their heada and grew a beard or are no longer part of a trendy movement. Let them cook.

Word, I'm waiting for someone relevant to respond so this shit can get started... BUT because KL dissed the whole NY, anyone from NY can respond at their own risk. Including wackass Writer.

IMO NY natives and anyone Lamar named has the right to respond. Everyone else is on some attention seeking shit if we're keeping it 100.

Astro dropped one of the top 5 responses...

Hardly, the kid as potential but the flow and delivery is way off.

Dog what are you talking about? The only reason this thread is 100+ pages deep is because K called himself the KoNY and a bunch of NYC rappers caught feelings. No one is bringing up NY because we're obsessed with you. We're bringing up NY because it's central to what's going on here. You know what region wasn't mentioned? The South. So there was no reason for it to even be brought up outside saying some of the newer artists there should take K's call and step their games.

I personally wouldn't have said anything about NY at all, if you hadn't gone out of your way to make it seem like the South is solely responsible for the shittiness of rap as if NYC didn't contribute.

 

[9TRAY]

I've read some strong emotions being displayed in this thread

 

[Meta_Conscious]

Again, Lupe, Cassidy, Los, BOB, and Ransom caught feelings because of the KONY line or nah?

Niggas like u want it to b about Ny catching feelings so bad... Smh... U love us...
