YESSSS!!! This is what Hip Hop needs!!!!! A Rapper who aint afraid to respond. Let’s goo!!!
That right there was A Lil NY. rappers step up. Get on BIGGIE Shit Who Shot Ya
Who is this guy? He’s garbage… That’s why he said to DRE if you need me I’m a free agent because he’s so lame he doesn’t have any deals to go with that wack flow
*Yawn* How you gonna respond to Kendrick’s next level flow with that same old tired 1998 NY flow. It all sounds the same. Step into the 21st century please…
Maybe that old ’98 NY flow is what hip hop needs from this lazy ass 21st century rap.
Yes!! Agreed!
Agree 100 percent these new jack dont know a damn thing
Agree! That nigga Kendrick is way too nice!
Please kill yourself
maybe not. No. I am sure – no it is not
again, how Kendrick is fashion rapper? Joell is some kind of lunatic.
He didn’t say Kendrick was a fashion rapper. He pretty much said a real hip hop rapper could respond because the other styles couldnt do nothing ” gangsta rappers can’t respond with a clip”
Kendric Shyt Wasn’t Really Sayin’ Nuttin Anyway Besides King Of NY That Got EveryBody Amped LMaO
That NY flow is lazy. Using the same template laid out nearly 20 years ago. Biggies flow was more futuristic than a lot of NYs new stuff. What the game needs is more K.L. Obviously…
well kendrick is the best and if there is any rapper wanna be the best then i guess he should take out kendrick lamar… But i think i can beat him!
Stop it kendrick is killing shyt joell is a beast tho
Stop it kendrick is killing niggas lyrically no clips envolved joell is a beast tho
Joel bodied this track. True story, we got to send a thank you to big sean and kendrick for waking Hip hop up. We are tired of the YMCMB we are the world records. We tired of mofos rapping about molly. We are in for some great music coming our way. #slaughterhouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you recycling the same old post? Why would Joel rap with kendricks flow? Do you have logic? Why is it if you don’t like this verse that you had to come back a half hour later to say the same shit? You just sound like a dick rider.
Slept off after d 3rd line…..NY rep ur hood!!!
Joel Ortiz is the truth. You can’t take anything away from that man. But big thanx to Kendrick for Slaping the Ruler on the Desk and wakeing thees moufukas up. Much needed. It’d def brought out the best for Joel. Lets see what els happens. I’m sure a lot of rappers been workin on verses all day.
@Ghost_shep_killa you think there are only two kind of flow? Lazy and Kendrick’s? Are you retired?
Joel Ortiz is the truth. You can’t take anything away from that man. But big thanx to Kendrick for Slaping the Ruler on the Desk and wakeing thees moufukas up. Much needed. It’d def brought out the best for Joel. Lets see what els happens. I’m sure a lot of rappers been workin on verses all day.
Rap isn’t about the years…it’s about the LYRICS and Ortiz ripped that ish.. u think otherwuse then you’re clearly illiterate too real hip-hop
He just called “Curtis” sweety?
ITS HAPPENINNGGGG
They all suck and will be broke if they’re not already.
Damn… I love Joell, but he could have been more direct with the diss. But whatevers. Hopefully they go back and forth haha
No! Kendrick better not even think about replying to this!^ kendrick has the thrown you don’t go to war with pawns
CaptainBLacQ’s – Post Up! Yeah!! “You-Go” KINDRICK LAMAR ~ Wake these so-called “Hip-Hop” rappers-up! They don’t know, Real Hip-Hop if, it “Slap-Them-in-the-FACE”. GO-AHEAD! (My-N!@@A ~ “New” King of “Hip-Hop”. You got my BLESSING…… YES ~ YES ~ YESSS! Since, the EARLY 2000’s…. HIP-Hop has Slipped-Off it’s main Supporters the “Hip-Hop” Culture….. Has Gone POP’ (like) a Moth’a F€€k’a…. Until Today…. (This is what Rap/Gagst’a-Rap/Hip-Hop’s) needed for a long time. SO LET’s see what’s Next…. I really, feel good about the (Verse), those hip hop Rap artist out there making big bucks… TAKE NOTES……because, “Hip-Hop” just Got it’s Pulse…..BACK!!!!!! (CaptainBLacQ)
P.S.
THE verse although short, reminded me of 2Pac’s Hit-Em-Up! Single, off the ALL-EYEZ-ON-ME ALBUM….. HIT-Em-Up! Created the same Buzz!!! in the Mid-90’s… AND we all know, what it did for “DEATH-ROW” in it’s (Hay-Day) ~ Sales ~ Sales ~ Sales $,$$$,$$$,$$$
I respect Ortiz as a man Putin in work, but I didn’t hear a word he said after ‘my click’.. y’all all, y’all all, y’all all..? That’s who kendrick was talking to y’all rappers! that made ‘my life’, etc on bubble gum beats! For records sells. Now you wanna go back to rappin hardcore cause you mad another lyricist had to wake yall up!?.. Damn..Joell was better off just saying thank you for opening up a new era of hip hop kendrick. Lol is this the nigga!^ that was doing songs like this a year ago http://youtu.be/iB9nFiJChDo ?
FUCK a Kendrick Lamar. Y’all need to stop dick riding. The kid has a nice flow but he needs to learn his place. He been hot for like 2 years… Now he the king? Fake bandwagon fans are too funny. Joell did the right thing putting this kid in his place. Earn your stripes youngin.
Kendrick is one one overrated fuck so was his verse. Stop the nut licking
Why respond with violence. Kendrick jus saying rappers need to step up cause he wanna be the greatest so he competing with the gReatest. Kendrick just woke these Kats up #great marketing tool now they all giving Kendrick what he wanted from hip hop
Are you morons really saying not to use the 90’s flow? Wake the fu(k up idiot, rap has suffered since that 90’s flow disappeared. That sh!t you want him to flow like is bubble gum rap, Joell killed this & this IS WHAT HIP-HOP is at the very heart.
There are guys who like beats then there are guys like me who listen to lyrics, the lyrics on this are sick.
I sware i havent read such ignorant responses in my entire life. Kendrick is good. hes at the top of the game because their are barely any rappers who want to use LYRICS ANYMORE. 90’s hip hop was about being the best LYRICIST and for the past ten years you PEOPLE have forgotten what that meant. BUT for him to say he’s the King of NY, and to list rappers that have NO F&#KING LYRICS WHAT SO EVER is retarded. He only said it to wake REAL Rappers up. ORTIZ went in and SHUT IT DOWN AND RESPONDED APPROPRIATELY. old 98 Flow?…. NINJA NY GAVE BIRTH TO this Sh$t dont ever forget it. F$#K the bull thats been on the radio. and theres no such thing as New Flows. DO YOUR RESEARCH…HALF OF KENDRICK SH$T COMES FROM EMINEM…HOW DO I KNOW…CUZ I FOLLOWED AFTER EM Heavy and not many people spit like him, cuz they CANTTTT……everybody who is fan of music is quick to be Critic but aint SMART ENOUGH TO THINK BEFORE THEY SPEAK. who ever is knocking on the 90’s music should IMMEDIATELY SHOVE THEIR FOOT IN THEIR MOUTH. THE FACT THAT YOU EVEN SAID OLD 98 FLOW JUST TELLS ME YOUR NOT A TRUE HIP HOP FAN..BUT A SHEEP LIKE THE REST ON THE BANDWAGON. GOT TAKE A NAP ….BL3zZ33″2014″
Im sorry but that response joell did was not a “freestyle” & the line about “your not king of NY, your the next thing on my fork” like homie, thats a NURSERY SCHOOL RHYMES i was kicking better rhymes then that. thats why i say LYRICALLY kendrick murdered joell, theres no conversation about it. Kendrick payed respect to Nas, Jay-z, Eminem, Andre 3000 & has got respect from them artist what has Joell done NOTHING! Listen to the lyrical prospect of kendricks verse then listen to joells response like thats the hardest joell can go. Not one bar in kendrick’s verse is easily thought of, he gets straight to the point #HESHERETOMURDERALLOFYOUNIGGAS as he stated. #WestCoast!
Ortiz 1 Vs. Lamar 0
Real Hop-Hip is Back!!!!!
LET DA GAMES BEGIN
Now all we need is “ASAP rocky , Tyler The Creator and drake to get back at Kendrick
Omg a NIGGER SITE LMAO THIS WEBSITE LOOKS LIKE A !@ YEAR OLD MADE IT
12 year old **
How the FUCK you gonna be a HIP HOP FAN and not know who Joell Ortiz is? He been out way before K Dot was and Ortiz is fucking NASTY and yeah he did a song called My Life which is a real ass song just like Kendricks Poetic Justice
this shit was fire, yall get off kendricks dick already. It was an appropriate response, he said what needed to be said. Kendrick wanted to get attention, well he brought out the battle rappers. that’s what verses like that get, response from the correct niggas, Joe Budden, Cassidy, Papoose, all battle rappers need to respond because the niggas he named aint about that life. but all is fair in love and war in hip-hop, so stop hatin. Next up….
Hip Hop needs this Battle Rap right about now….K. Lama is nice slaughter house is nice…but its about the BATTLE….WE NEED THAT!!!!!!!
Yo I love this shit. Hip hop welcome back.
Let us not hate, this is a GREAT Song!! I love it when hip-hop speaks to us. This is opening ya ears up. This is real. We need this. I am sick of everyone sounding the same, doing the same. Time for that true hip-hop formation. I am with it. I claim both coast, I lived and was raised on both. It’s not about West or East. It’s about the skills.
CaptainBLacQ – Post Up! HANDZ-Down, KENDRICK LAMAR-24 years old, came with-it, when “Every-Body” took they EYEZ-off the Prize….. (Hip-Hop)an’t ~ Dead ~ and Never was….. It was only the industry…. Catering to the Sale of Pryor (artist) music sales. witch was very-low since, the mid-90’s…. The Bad Boys, Cash Money’s, YMCMB, DRAKES and the Soulja-Boy’s….. Just to name a few…. HIGH-Jacked the Music Hip-Hop industry single- handedly. Artist now of days, don’t hardly get Music Staying Power on the Radio…. They have to do…. a (L’ll Wayne) Mixed-Tape and get on everything with-out being Payed….. And you all know…. What I Mean…. Whose really, getting paid…. These Days…. $$$. Unless you got both feet in the door….. With a ( GUARANTEE ) and 3-4 month up front… Money $$$ for signing on to a major label….
The mark is Set-Very-High by (Kindred Lamar) not, just in unit-sales and Billboard rankings but, Creativity of his music(Craft)…. To be good! You just, have to be able to Compete with your music competition.
But, to be (Great) you need to Lead from the (Front)…. and (Kendrick Lamar) did just do that…… “Lead from the Front” Kendrick Lamar has created a conversation that was not, their in the hip-hop/rap communities for why’ll…. “Hell”at least since, the mid-90’s since, (2Pac) came out with (Hit ‘Em-Up). KENDRICK LAMAR has created a Viral conversation about our hip-hop RAP-Industry and Culture. That-almost has gone to SLEEP for the passed 15 years.
