Rappers Respond To Kendrick Lamar’s Verse! See Who’s Dissing, Who’s Giving Props, Who’s Preparing Their Response…
Last night, Big Sean damn near broke the Internet when he released “Control,” a track that features Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica (though I don’t think anyone’s gotten to his verse…sorry Jay), and wasn’t able to be on his forthcoming sophomore album Hall Of Fame because of sample clearance issues.
“…IT IS NOT no radio sh*t.. Straight rap,” Sean warned before he released it. “I’m talking 7min shit… Grimey sh*t.” And grimey it is! Kendrick had arguably the best verse on the track, but undoubtedly the most talked about. Why? Well for starters, he’s calling out all of his peers by name and challenging them to come harder. Most importantly, though, he dubbed himself the KING OF NY. A rapper from Compton, CA…the other side of the country…comfortably called himself the king of a city he’s only visited. Just one day after we celebrated hip-hop’s 40th birthday. Yo, New York rappers…y’all gonna let him have that? Because as of right now, 10:12 AM on Tuesday, August 13, 2013…he got that.
Naturally, the people couldn’t just sit back and let this fly, and rappers began taking to Twitter to respond. Some were impressed and inspired, some were ready to get in the booth and show K. Dot a thing or two, some were hating (Lupe Fiasco…c’mon fam.) Unfortunately for me, hardly any of the rappers I want to hear respond have made even a mention that they’re going to be doing anything, save for Joe Budden and Loso (who was really busy being excited about finding some money in his pocket…thanks Relly for sending the birdcall.) I’m patiently waiting on Nicki Minaj, A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne, Drake, Cam’Ron and J. Cole. The latter of whom, by the way, was dissed by his OWN FAN SITE when the track dropped! Sheesh! Check out all the responses thus far in the gallery. Who do you want to hear come back with a verse? (I’ll tell you who I DON’T want to hear….Uncle Murda, Papoose, Lil Mama…stay FAR AWAY FROM THE BOOTH! FAR AWAY!)

I want to hear fab or j.cole come back cause joe budden gave up his rapping career when his dumb ass went to reality tv he became a reality joke so I rather hear the mentioned come back with some bars on this track to claim their spot in ny cause if they can let a Compton n*gga come in their home town and call them out their stupid and need to step up
Kendrick for real tho?? Jada stand up and put the heat to dat azzz!! Styles get em!! Cole givem that work!! King of NY tho?!? One hot verse does not give you rights to the crown
he murdered that track and some of you hip hop niggas got mercked on wax and need to step up cuz he lettin yall know you fallin off
Joell ortiz ripped kendrick today on outta control but i wanna see jadakiss show kendrick who the real king of ny is
Joell was the warm up. Jadakiss is the King of NYC!!
Kendrick Kill That. And truth be told, THE SOUTH DIDN’T KILL HIP-HOP. THE EAST COAST DID. HOW SO? BECAUSE ALL THE BEEF THEY HAD WITH EACH OTHER. NAS & JAY ARE THE TWO BEST RAPPERS FROM THE EAST COAST. WHY WERE THEY BEEFING? OVER SOME CHICK? 50 BEEFED WITH JA. TERROR SQUAD BEEFED WITH DEF SQUAD. WU TANG BEEFED WITH BAD BOY. BEENIE BEEFED WITH JADA. ROCAFELLA BEEFED WITH THEMSELVES. THEY SHOULD HAVE CAME TOGETHER AND MADE THIS MONEY. THAT’S WHAT THE SOUTH DID. THATS WHY PEOPLE GOT TIRED OF ALL THAT BEEF NONSENSE AND GRAVITATED TO THE SOUTH. AND TODAY, I SAW STYLES P & JOE BUDDENS BEEFIN WITH EACH OTHER OVER WHAT KENDRICK DID. THAT LETS ME KNOW THAT THESE EAST COAST CATS STILL AIN’T LEARN. ALSO WHILE THE SOUTH WAS BLOWING UP, EAST COAST RAPPERS WERE JUST COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW WHACK THE SOUTH IS. AND THE WHOLE THE SOUTH WAS STACKING PAPER. EAST COAST RAPPERS CAME OFF AS HATERS. THEY WEREN’T IN THE STUDIO PUTTING IN THAT WORK TO SHOW THE WORLD WHY THEY WERE BETTER. KENDRICK WAS SMART. HE’S PROVING THAT HIS BETTER ON THE CHARTS & WITH LYRICS. SO WHY GET MAD? TALIB SAID ON TWITTER “Y’all new NY rappers ready to stop rapping like y’all from down south yet? #kingofny.” STEP YOUR GAME UP. YOU WANT TO PROVE THAT YOU BETTER? DO IT WHERE IT COUNTS. WITH LYRICS AND ON THE CHARTS. P.S. I’M FROM NY. IT TOOK A ROOKIE TO SHOW YA’LL HOW LAME THESES RAPPERS ARE AND FOR THEM TO STEP THEIR GAME UP. THE WEST MADE A STRONG COMEBACK.
I totally agree with you Nigel. Im not sure why any rappers would hate on this song. I think Kendrick is smart for doing this. I think if Tupac or Biggie were still alive they would do the same thing. Which is change shit up. Idk about anyone else but im tired of what rap has turned into. Slick Rick, Kool Moe Dee, NWA, and all of the other REAL hip hop greats didnt rap about the garbage they are rapping about now. They actually told a story back then, it was fun. Nowadays all niggas are putting out is material thats not realistic heavily saturated lyrics referencing to drugs how much they spent on designer clothes and how “good” their sex game is. This song was a great ploy to get these rappers to challenge themselves. The old bait and pull always works. Job well done Kendrick.
Nigel an Jae WYS!!! I grew up listening to cool moe dee Curtis blow dougie fresh mc lyte etc… It was about bringing ya A game not hating on A game IJS THO!! 😉
Kendrick added Life to HIP HOP!! What he did was revamped what HIP HOP usto be.. Step your game up… repping 》》 da south!!
I think the buzz is good for competition, but I think K Dot may have stepped in it ankle deep he’s crowned himself King #Reallytho maybe he needs to Pour up and Drank another shot because he’s tripping.
I’m so sure my main man -Papoose’ response to Kendrick’s verse will be the best. For now,LOS’ response is the toughest. Papoose is the king of New York!Fuc the hatred!!!!
I think this good for hip hop friendly compitition just don’t let it get out of hand , but besides that Kendrick’s shit was hot but I think its overrated cause he said names so it made look more than what it was , even tho I’m from Brooklyn ima call a spade a spade , Joel really went in that’s shit was fire
I def wanna see jadakiss n styles wit a response. let these niggas know ya can stop rappin for a while n come back like ya neva left. D-Block!!
Grafh is coming..Canibus this is your lane, stand up. Kiss back is hurtin cuz he bout to put nY on it again. Somebody,anybody from WU..Ghost,Deck,Gza,Meth, let’s go.Nas? Hov? The crown on a clown,cmon Sun. Nyc stand the f up& lyrically jack this fool like his name is cousin Harold! Let’s GO! SKYZOO..TORAE..go get this clown,lyrically.KRS…Pap..Rakim? G rap…I said my peace,ny, you up.
I am actually glad kendrick did this diss verse I’m hoping out of this we get some good music from New York artists who are better than Kendrick and now have a good reason to hop back in the booth and feed the streets with something new. Flex I can’t wait to hear your responses the next few weeks on these diss tracks!!!
you got to salute Kendrick for breathing air into rap…. im so tired of the “bang-bang” “versace versace” rap realm we have been warped in for the past few years!!!! RAP NEEDED THIS!!!! i didnt like Ortiz come back…. lil Astro even tried…. BoB’s was just ok…. I have also heard a list of irrelevant ass ppl…. i am looking forward to MEEK MILL, FABOLOUS, JADA, JCOLE, EMINEM, NAS, JAYZ, shit maybe a few old cats need to resurrect they rap career just for this!!! all the true rap vets are straight out of NewYork!!! i know yall aint gonna let KDot body yall like that!!! As of right now the only response holding flame is Lupe Fiasco. and thats real shhh*t
Bout time we see some real hip-hop in the game. new York, stand up, where ya at, lets get it! time for the energy and love for the art to come back like the 90’s. Wu Tang, Nas, Rakim, Lyte, badass, Saigon, D Block, SlaughterHouse, Mobb Deep, Skyzoo, Duck Down(BlackMoon, Fab5, LGC)OC, Linque, ATCQ, Heather B, Camp Lo, AZ, Master Ace, Big Daddy Kane etc… Roll call!
Kendrick did what all rappers should do is compete,bottomline your only as good as your competition so if none is competing then how would you know how good they really are.Get to it and bring out the best in each other.
Don’t be dumb! The south does have good rappers and I think cassidy did a good job and spit more bars than any other ny rapper…. bob didn’t have to say much he proved that he can spit like a cobra.. oh, and the South ain’t all booty shake.. yall tighten up! ny been wacky for a while now.
I’m a older head from ny so yeah I’m always gonna be pro new york ….but Kendrick put the bait out and now the wolves are gonna come running …you can pretty much count on a lot EC rappers killing this track ie joell .cassidy both did work …only a hand full of rappers from the south need to respond as lyrics or battle rapping is not really their thing..and FYI PAPOOSE OR CORY GUNZ WOULD AND WILL KILL THIS BEAT ….
CAPTAINBLACQ’s-Post Up! ~ LONG Live The King ~ “BLACK PRINCE” of COMPTON ~ Kindrick Lamar ~ It took a “New” come’er Hip-Hop artist to put a “Pulse” back into the “RAP-GAME”, (Some folks my call it a (Ploy, Great Marketing, Crazy! or just a Smart-Genius). NO MATTER WHAT!!!! “KINDRICK-LAMAR’s” ~ STOCK-VALUE ~ just JUMPED ~ three-Folds ~ (A true hip hop fan, I am of the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s…… I MUST SAY….. GREAT-JOB!

D BLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fab!!!
Raeqwon the chef!!!!
Some of these underground rappers…. turn up!!!
I would love to hear Fab, Luda go in on Kendrick Lamar
Kendricks king!!!!!!
Imma just say this. Just cause kendrick nice on the charts, doesn’t mean it’s the commercial rappers comin back at him. The problem is that he forgot about all the rappers that don’t wear little clothes. Just cause you got all these little girls runnin around on the commercial side doesn’t mean that they’re gonna respond. Real HIP HOP
comin back.
best thing to happen since “who shot ya” vs “hit em up”
it’s like he’s sayin he’s focused on BARS not sales. and that’s why he winning
dis east coast rappers need to wake up & smell the coffee…hw can a visitor be yo king? kendrick{the game changer}
dis east coast rappers need to wake up & smell the coffee…hw can a visitor be yo king? kendrick{the game changer}thats whats up
Good Job Kendrick. If a West Coast rapper callin himself the the King of NY doesn’t wake u up, nothing will. Some of the rap in rotation today is pure GARBAGE, though creative expression. Why have a clothing designer as the name of your song, STR8 FREE ADVERTISING, when u ain’t getting a freakin DIME???? Back to my point…I know KRS-1 already has a response. If not for the older ny rappers, there is no younger ny rappers carrying the torch. U can’t let Kendrick just assume the throne like that….or maybe u do
