Causing the biggest excitement in hip-hop since the Jay Z -Nas battle for the King Of New York, Kendrick Lamar has put all on notice with his verse on Big Sean's joint Control which supposedly didn't make the album because of sample clearance issues! In the essence of KRS who used to write a diss rhyme about the best emcees and the top charting artists on the Billboard chart just in case they said his name, in the way Michael Jordan even when playing ball with his friends went out to prove his was the best, Kendrick Lamar sets the bar and unapologetically challenging all comers including Big Sean who track his is spitting on. Basically he saying all rappers need to step their game up. The Compton emcee struck a nerve when he boldly claimed to be the King of New York.
I'm important like the Pope, I'm a Muslim on pork
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
Here is the Kendrick Lamar verse only version of the joint that got everyone from Phil Jackson who he mentions (Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be? If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me, I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable) NBA players like LeBron James and Kevin Durant tweeted how dope his verse was, how this is hip-hop and a host of artist some named and some not mentioned said their peace on twitter and instagram, Fabolous tweeted he was hitting the studio. Everyone from Pusha T, Killah Mike, Just Blaze, Bun B, Lupe Fiasco and Joe Budden just to name a few all take to Twitter following Kendrick's fiery verse.
Bout who's the best MC?
Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all
New niggas just new niggas, don't get involved
And I ain't rockin no more designer shit
White Ts and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous
I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' wit
But this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale, Pusha T, Meek Millz,
A$AP Rocky, Drake, Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
They don't wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
What is competition? I'm tryna raise the bar high..."
When you step out there like this you gain the respect of many and get hated on by others. Either way you paint a target on ya back and everyone is comin for you. Basically he tellin you he took the number one spot and both those who used to have it and everyone who aspires to get there wants a shot at the one who claims to be the best. In boxing they say you can only be champ by beating the champ. Every rapper wants there shot. Ask KRS One, ask Jay Z ask TI who claims the King Of The South title, once you put it out there everyone wants to knock you down a notch. Responses have already started surfacing less than 24 hours after it debuted on New York DJ Funk Master Flex's Hot 97 radio show, by B.O.B., Fred The Godson, Bizzy Crook and you know New York rhymeslayer Joell Ortiz who wasnt mentioned had to be the first to set it off challenging Lamars claims of the King Of New York
