Kendrick Lamar shook up the
rap world with his ear-popping
verse on Big Sean 's "Control,"
but while boasts of being king
of both coasts and verbal
warnings were issued to
friends like Drake, J. Cole and
Big Sean dominated the
conversation, K-Dot's 64-bar
rap marathon were packed
with tons of goodies.Now that
we've had some time to sit
with the epic verse, which
dropped on Monday, MTV
News examines the highlights.
Here's what we learned. Tupac
Taught Me
What made the good kid go
mad? It's hard to say.
"Control" doesn't seem to be a
beef record per se, but like the
late Tupac, Kendrick spits with
a competitive fire; he wasn't
shy about calling out his
targets by name either.
Through it all he even makes
reference to 'Pac's Don
Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory
album where he changed his
name to Makaveli and took aim
at everyone from the Notorious
B.I.G. to De La Soul. "I'm
Makaveli's offspring, I'm the
king of New York," Lamar spits
drawing clear comparisons to
the fallen rap star.
