“I’m usually homeboys with the same ni**as I’m rhymin’ with,” Kendrick Lamar says. “But this is hip-hop and them ni**as should know what time it is. 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 tryin’ to murder you ni**as. Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you ni**as. They don’t want to hear not one more noun or verb from you ni**as. What is competition? I’m trying to raise the bar high.”
That’s the verse that has got the US HipHop world on fire and Twitter going off like a panic alarm at a bank, On Big Sean’s 7 minute long track entitled ‘Control’ Kendrick Lamar is a typical New York MC, in that he brings the trash talk and let the others follow. One thing we have to question though, is Kendrick Lamar the King of New York?
