I cannot stand the background noise on Control. Straight up made me stop listening.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

All these posts on Kendrick Lamar "dissing" these trash "rappers" need to learn that in reality it's trash telling other trash they need to step up their game, but thing is, what game? None of them even have any. It's not even a real diss or challenge... You want a real diss and rivalry, here you go:



I can't stand these new time "rappers", "mc's", they're all trash and don't deserve any kind of credit, fame or listeners. All they're doing is making society shittier than what it already is with their crap music.

I am actually not too into modern rap as you all know but I have no problem with this song. Lamar noticeably changed his delivery to make it obvious it's a throwback kind of diss song. No problem with the other rappers he called out either (drake being the best of them).

And if this can just be a beef about just pure music and not have it spill into other aspects of their lives (like in the 90's) then I don't see what the problem is. It is just entertainment. And it would show how far we/they have come since those days, wouldn't it?

The only problem I have is Lamar ranking himself up there with the best rappers already...it is too soon, he doesn't belong there with them.

I'm a muslim on pork/I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
King of the Coast, on one hand, I juggle them both..

Means he is progressive, he is breaking boundaries as part of a new generation. That juggling line was nice(reminded me of Jadakiss on this a bit).

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..

Means he is wild and uncontrollable, hence why you didn't expect this from him. He's saying even the best coach who ever existed (PJ= 11 titles) wouldn't be able to control him.

Decent overall, but more of a buzz-type thing imo.

I will give Kendrick all the credit in basically telling everyone out there who even considers themselves an MC to step their game up. Hip hop as a whole needs to evolve, but it's more or less being brought back to the 90's where it's about competition and lyrics, this is still far better than what it's devolved into now.

Out of all the response freestyles to Kendrick's verse on Control I've heard in no particular order are Cassidy, King Los, and Joell Ortiz.

I want to hear Pusha T and Lloyd Banks put out a track to this too.

But I don't think anyone should consider Kendrick or these response tracks are disses. It's just some rappers/MC's putting something out to show they can spit. It's easy to confuse the competitive nature of a track as a diss. But I guess why I really love Cassidy's track, he's an established battle rapper, and he snapped his freestyle.

I guarentee the rappers that didn't get mentioned are more disappointed than the ones that did get mentioned.

I think people read way too much into the words, rappers are always making brash claims. If any other new rapper tried to group themself with Nas, Jay-Z, Eminem and Andre 3000 nobody would take that claim seriously. It just so happens that Kendrick is good enough that some people have to sit back for a minute and think about whether he is on the level of the rappers he says.

I've only listen to the Joel Ortiz response but rap fans should be happy that Kendrick is stirring shit up, there haven't been any good rap feuds for years.

Actually, Kendrick Lamar is the shit. I started listening to Compton and Poetic Justice and then I got M.A.A.D City and Backseat Freestyle. The two latter songs are the best i've heard so far from the album. I've also listened to Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe and it's overrated so don't start with that one.

Well Lupe killed it IMO as far as that goes. Cassidy sounded kind of old school but Lupe raised the bar with his creativeness.

Not sure how Childish Gambino is viewed among rap enthusiasts but I was wondering if anyone could recommend someone similar in style to him (more so lyrically but flow also if possible)?

I've gotten pretty hooked on El-P and his endeavours with Killer Mike in the last couple of weeks.
The Run the Jewels EP is a fucking genius piece of art.

You can get it here for free - because fuck profit, thats why.

Favourite song of the album is this one for me.



El-Ps last 8 are ridiculous.

Don't fret little man, don't cry
They can never take the energy inside you were born with
Knowing that, understand you could never be poor
You already won the war, you were born rich
You can only take the energy you had going back to the realm or the home where your lord is
Whoever whatever that lord is couldn't give a fuck if you ever made fortunes
Fuck anyone ever trying to run that bum shit
Send 'em to the flames where the orcs live
Them and the lost minds thinking they're smarter than us don't understand love's importance
And we can weaponize that, bring 'em back to the truth where the ashes and dust got formed in

Not that related, but I found a good mashup of Biggy with Thomas the Tank Engine. Video.

I'm so glad people are finally realizing El-P's greatness. If you havnt already check out the album Funcrusher Plus by Company Flow (a trio featuring El-P). IMO greatest album of alltime hands down!

Why do you keep using " "?

And I feel like pointing out that so far Ghostface Killah's album Twelve Reasons To Die is the album of the year.

Also waiting for a Nas and Kendrick collab, that gon be the shit, Nas is ill.
