Hip-hop music was built off of
competition and Kendrick Lamar gave
fans and artists alike a reminder of
what it is like to take rap's
battlefield.On Monday night, Big
Sean dropped "Control," a leftover
track originally recorded for his
upcoming Hall of Fame, and it
featured Jay Electronica and a fiery
verse from K-Dot. After proclaiming
himself the king of New York (and
the west coast) Kendrick name-
dropped a gang of his rap friends,
but he wasn't so nice about it."I'm
usually homeboys with the same
n----s i'm rhymin with/ But this is
hip-hop and them n----s should
know what time it is/ And that goes
for Jermaine Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale/
Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky,
Drake/ Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler,
Mac Miller/ I got love for you all but
I'm tryna murder you n----s/ Tryna
make sure your core fans never
heard of you n----s/ They don't
wanna hear not one more noun or
verb from you n---as," the Black
Hippy MC rapped with an extra grit
to his already gravelly voice.
"I hear u loud and clear my n---a...
@kendricklamar," Pusha T tweeted
right after the song was
released.Rap artists from all over
have since been flooding Twitter
weighing in with their own reactions
since the track debuted on New York
DJ Funk Master Flex's Hot 97 radio
show. "I never really tweet about
music. But good lord.. @
kendricklamar just like.. Bodied
everyones entire year's worth of raps
lol," Just Blaze wrote in awe.

2013 Veteran hip-hop producer Pete
Rock crowned the performance "illest
verse of the year," while Missy Elliott
took to the social networking site to
thank the good kid for forcing rap
artists "2 be Lyrical and have
substance again."Bun B also
applauded the young MC. "Every
rapper is supposed to feel like
Kendrick feels as far as wanting to
murder n---as on the mic. That's why
I wrote my 'Murder' verse," he wrote
referencing his 1996 track with fallen
UGK partner Pimp C.Not everyone
was a fan however, in particular
Lupe Fiasco. "Y'all know y'all easily
impressed. Bar so low you need a
shovel to get at it," he wrote from
his private account before he
humorously ghost wrote rap
responses for MCs like Drake, Jay Z
and Rick Ross.Joe Budden
questioned the pride of Big Apple
MCs. "A Cali n---a just said he's the
King of NY & u n---as so f---ing
worried about your relationships,
y'all make me sick," he messaged.
"Where's old NY !???!"
Any studios open yet?

August 13, 2013 So who will be the
first to lyrically respond to Kendrick's
call-out? Fabolous seems to already
be on the case. "Any studios open
yet," he asked early this morning.
