Anyone heard the big sean feat Kendrick - control song?

Kendrick kills his verse

SeaDaily · 21-08-2013 1:52pm

Kendrick's verse is good but he got killed in all the responses. Lupe Fiasco, Joell Ortiz and King Los all had sick responses.

Seaneh · 21-08-2013 11:57pm

Joell bodybagged him.

Kendricks verse was good but its was stupid to call out so many rappers.

Seaneh · 22-08-2013 12:33am

Actually, I take it back.

Joey murders that beat. It's over.

Papoose's was nice too, worth a listen.

It wasnt a diss though, at least in the normal way. It was to get things going in Hip Hop, calling everyone to improve. He stirred things up and it brought a lot of new music out in 2 days.

Given that nobody called out had responded, no it wasn't.

Everybody who responded is an attention whore jumping at a chance to get a little bit of relevancy and attention out of the song. They'd take any excuse to get their name out.

What has Lupe got to be pissed about that song for?

The people actually called out were taking it as a compliment almost to be mentioned. They know they intent and they know its not an attack but a statement of intent.

Plus, he's had everybody talking about his rhymes for a week. It's a win for him.

Free publicity and fans of lyrical content and competitive rhyming will have new found respect for him for putting lyrics to the fore again.

Over? that response bored me to death.

Best responce yet, not trying to take shots, not trying to 'murder', just saying it like it is.

I f*cking love Breeze Brewin.

Jonney the vast majority of your posts make no sense and are barely comprehensible.

No. that is just your opinion. You label my post like that because you disagree with most of my opinions

Kendrick will destroy this idiot. Kendrick is the best new rapper in the last 5-10 years.

I am fan of his, but that's rubbish. He's not even the best in his crew imo

As someone with very little interest in rap music, why is it I've only heard of Kendrick Lamar so? Is it simply due to him being the most successful of his crew? Because one or two people I'd trust when it comes to music have said To Pimp A Butterfly is revolutionary and that he has pretty much nailed the idea of race relations in the US through the metaphors he uses in his music.

the reason you've heard of him is because , at the moment , he's so far ahead of everyone else in the rap game that it's genuinely weird . TPAB was a masterpiece and his releases/verses since then have seen him move up another step . the scary thing is he only seems to be getting better which is worrying for every other rapper imo

He is the most popular and most heard of from his crew because he has an honesty and conciousness about him and his music appeals to a wider audience. The other members of TDE are more niche:

Jay Rock - Gangster Rap
Ab-Soul - Stoner/Gangster/Life
Schoolboy Q - Stoner/Gangster

These aren't really mainstream types of things they rap about. There is another guy on TDE called Isaiah Rashad who is quite close to Kendrick in his style, he is set for an album soon but I don't think it will reach the acclaim of Lamar.

Also, Kendrick has some large names bhind him that endorse him on radio stations in the USA which helps break music globally.

Announced as the first non-classical and non-jazz musician to win the Pulitzer prize for music.

Stab*City · 22-05-2018 1:47pm

His rhymes are tight but my god i cant stand his voice.. I have tried to like his music but i just can get around that voice. Probably the worst sounding voice Ive ever heard rap.

melted_face · 22-05-2018 2:31pm

p good thread

Storm in a tea cup. Ironically all the outrage is on the net and from white people For Kendrick framing the girl.
The video is on youtube, look it up for yourselves

Boom_Bap · 22-05-2018 7:38pm

Yeah seen that, being blown way out of proportion. It's hard to censor yourself when you get into the flow of regurgitating the song you've heard a billion times.

nah mate i get what ur saying but imo its act fairly easy when u DO know the song so well and the fact its such a point of emphasis, esp at the end of many sentences. not saying she deserves the doubtless hounding shes getting at all at all but theres no way u can say that what she did wasnt flucking stupid in the extreme , considering context and everything

Boom_Bap · 23-05-2018 9:08am

There's a great interview with Schoolboy Q a few years ago where he talks about one of his songs that has a section of lots of N words.
When he's dealing with primarily white crowds, he makes sure that they say every single one of them.

My take is that yer one probably doesn't have a racist bone in her body as she didn't even think of the word or the consequence, she was just flowing with the song.

I'd also add that I was at a Kanye show and during all of the lights and at the line "MJ gone, our nigga dead" the music stopped, he pointed the mic to the crowd, and the 99% white crowd didn't sing the line. He wouldn't continue until we sang it back to him.
