    3. The Ripper says:

      @ Tyrone, did you listen to K. Dot? Joe Budden’s bars were weak as hell. Weak. Stop trying to hate on K. Dot

    4. Chronic says:

      Joel and crooked had comparable levels of dopeness to kendrick. But Royce barely saved his verse at the very end and that was the weakest joe budden I’ve heard since pump me up. Kendrick just went on for so long just killin it the whole time

    5. Ill Street says:

      he was better than Royce, @ least = to Joell, not better than Budden or Crooked

    6. lovehiphopdebate says:

  13. djdoit says:

    List In Order who killed it:
    1.Kendrick
    Close 2nd:Jay Rock
    3.isiah
    4.ab

    1. polopolo1 says:

      my charge is killin rappers with no warrant that shit was hard, jay rock fucked it up.

      and you forgot Q who i think went pretty hard too, isiah dope but he needs to be at the bottom he wasnt fire

  14. Pap-pap says:

    that was at papoose all day.. “opportunist or corny”

  15. Eldude Stryke says:

    SOUTH CENTRAL STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. M25 says:

    Kendrick is dope but his verse is being over hyped again! He had his moments but it was average to me. I think people boosted this because they felted like he was aiming at Drake. You can tell that people are feenin for real hip hop.

  17. SkinnyNigga27 says:

    Kendrick….. GOT DAM

  18. JMcL says:

    kendricks verse is soundin like rap god

    1. Versace FlockaFlame says:

      The fact that the verse was said before the song came out makes your statement invalid!

      1. JMcL says:

        I said its soundin like.. Never said they were copying

  19. Doobi-Roc says:

    King Kendrick…

  20. polopolo1 says:

    i still cant determine who was this nigga talkin bout? if you go deep it sound like he was talkin about papoose but it was so vauge especially with that first bar that it sounded like it coulda been for drake? hmmmmm yall think he left this answer open ended on purpose or nah?

  21. SteakandFries says:

    Drake not fkn with dude…sorry

  22. Lance R. Grandé says:

    can’t lie, kendrick killed it

  23. Hussle says:

    GOOD LORDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!! King Kendrick showed everybody why he will be amongst the great!!!!!!

  24. LP1087 says:

    Kendrick ain’t quotable tho. Ill shit but you wanna be legendary, be quotable

    1. Max says:

      What about “The west coast cosa nostra under oath till it’s over, you over-owe us” ? come on.

  25. haann says:

    Theres no way anyone can tell me Kendrick didnt know that him saying “Nothings been the same” and “sensitive rapper” would make people think hes talking about drake. Kendrick knows good and well that saying those things would be seen as a drake shot hes not stupid. With that being the said the verse is way to over hyped, solid but way to overrated

    1. Jay says:

      “Accidents never happen when murders involved” in my opinion that means if you feel like that was about you than it probably was. His words were calculated.

  26. Jovanni Barinas says:

    I cant even pick just one to say killed it…they all compliment eachother rt

  27. MR. UNDI$PUTED THE MOGUL says:

    Kendrick’s verse was straight fire!!!! You know the sucker’s hating his verse are the same one’s whose favorite mc’s got dissed!!!!! Papoose had his chance & now ever since he’s been dissing Kendrick all of a sudden I see people on these hip hop sites rocking with him like they were with him in the beginning. “Niggaz” not Black people always hating on whoever’s either been on top for a long time or whoever the new hot mc is getting props from everyone!!!!!!! Keep Lyricism Alive!!

    PEACE & GET MONEY!!!
    MOGUL $$$ GAME ’13!!!

  28. Word says:

    Y’all continue to underestimate ASAP Rocky. He bodied his too. But Kendrick takes home the crowd.

    I feel Kendrick is winning so much these days though that now you’ll see these hipster anti-hype fuckers trying to downplay everything he does now. Everyone knows Kendrick killed but you’ll get folks saying Bronson or Crook were better (both great but not Kendrick)

  29. SpaceGhost says:

    As I was saying yesterday…….GET THAT EMINEM BULLSHIT OUTTA HERE, KING KENDRICK IS IN THIS BEEYATCH!!!!!

  30. haann says:

    Kendrick is becoming so overrated in everything he does, this guy could do nothing but fart on a track and have all his dickriders treating it like its the holy bible. Dont get me wrong Kendrick is the truth, people just have to stop acting like hes a GOAT or something chill out

    1. djdoit says:

      No one is screaming Goat yet. Kendrick has revived a once dead art. This trap shit, tho contagious and catchy, isn’t what hip hop was built on. All the youngsters gon dislike this but, you won’t get rid of old hip hop heads! We will continue to search daily on sites like this HOPING someones drunk uncle screamed at him during their childhood about how HIP HOP was started off with lyrics. That a whole generation of ppl who love this art didn’t have computers or cell phones. That most artist had to have talent to be heard. We’re all thankful technology has come along and allowed ppl to be heard but some of us, even if only a few, still hope there is some sort of breath still left in hip hop. And like it or NOT,Kendrick is the closest we’ve had in a long while. Give us this moment. Lord knows how long it will last

  31. Cartune says:

    After reading these comments first then looking at the video my expectations were high! But as I should have known dick-riders over-hyped it! smh… I guess I’m that ‘hater’ on here cause this was only a bit above average to me, people are way too easily impressed these days!

    Honestly Kendrick may have set a bar for himself on that “Control” verse, they say you’re only hot as your last song and that verse raised a bar for himself, now he’s in the same position as Eminem is; everybody patienly waits for him to deliver a dope verse and outshine everybody. Idk, just my opinion.

    1. SpaceGhost says:

      You are in denial. He murdered this shit and if the white boy would have done this you would have nutted all over yourself. He set it off and that is that on that lil buddy.

      1. Cartune says:

        If the white boy would have did it I would have nutted? laughable! lol Go back and read my comment I left under Em’s “Rap God” on this site, I’m no dick rider by ANY means, I’m actually not afraid to admit when my favorite rapper(s) has a $#!++Y verse or songs or whatever.

        Don’t get me wrong, I love Kendrick, I even bought his album twice (a clean and a dirty copy) so in no way is my opinion considered bias or hating at all, I just wasn’t impressed!… And to be fair… I actually wasn’t impressed by ANYONE this year at the cypher. I guess if I was to say who came the hardest it’d be Kendrick or Crooked I, but they’re still not highly impressive. Sorry if our opinion’s aren’t the same bro. *shrugs*

        1. flo says:

          and no1 really cares about your opinion

          1. Cartune says:

            Ugh stfu, you sound like a tard! Every comment on this site is based on opinions, nothing is a fact here, that’s why it’s called a blog!

  32. Matt says:

    ab soul didn’t even go hard and killed it.

  33. Kappa says:

    Slaughterhouse cypher was better, but the beat slaughterhouse had was average as fuck if they had this one it wouldve been complete murder

  34. Foekist says:

    Is this recorded live? – Didn’t think so! So what’s up with all the cheers and claps and shit in the background. That’s corny

    1. eastpointvet says:

      the cheers and claps are from the crowd at the show when they show the cyphers to the crowd

  35. Octavio Reis says:

    Kendrick Lamar kills.

  36. Dave says:

    Q wasnt as good as i thought he would be. Rock had the best verse, Kendricks was just longer

  37. Nick Perle says:

    Personally I think rittz had one of the verses of the night! “From the south but I wasn’t brought up like Paula deen”

  38. yeah says:

    Control was respectable, now you’re just biting the hand that fed you. Nonsense dissin’s only going to lead to discredit. Isaiah showed out for tennessee though, people are looking at him like they did K around section .80, but dont say i told you the future.

    and note: i started fucking with kendrick about 4 months before gkmc was even announced, i want this guy to win, but i cant say “YEAHH! DISRESPECT THE GUY THAT HELPED YOU OUT!” Much less give you a crown for it.

  39. Vins says:

    he’s not saying anybody helped him, he’s saying he helped hiphop with that control verse and now everybody hatin on him

  40. haann says:

    Drake gave Kendrick the platform to put his music out and your in denial if you cant see that, Drake showed Kendrick what his first arena looked like, Drake gave Kendrick the beat for kendricks first single swimming pools that was made by drakes producer Tminus.

  41. Hip Pop Is Alive says:

    Slaughter House will murder TDE, KENDRICK IS FUCKING OVERRATED AS EMINEM!

  42. DJ Coganc says:

    JayRock. KDot. AbSoul. Schoolboy. Thats the list in the correct order.

  43. DJ Coganc says:

    The Memphis cat showed up too.

  44. brza says:

    waiting for a sophomore album from Kendrick before throwing around labels

  45. Nahhhh says:

    Anyone else feel like KDot couldnt find the camera the whole time?

  46. JAlley13 says:

    Kendrick ain’t playin’ around ladies and gentlemen!! A monster has been unleashed. Need a new album ASAP.

  47. ke n says:

    man kendrick that kid is not playing

  48. click says:

    Shut the fuck up if you don’t think Kendrick murdered this. Ignorant beings.

  49. wahrheitsgetreu says:

    was just listening to MGK’s Lace Up and found an interesting thing: there is a song on it called End of the Road, and in it there are lines like: “Established myself and then I signed myself, and what I tell myself is you did it by yourself…”. Reminds me of Drake’s lines from that All Me joint…Since Lace Up was out like a year before Drake record was released, seems like the Drake ‘found some inspiration’ in MGK’s lyrics, doesn’t it?

  50. SaloDolo says:

    Let’s be honest here. The reason everyone is riding Kendrick is because no one here or anywhere can make a strong argument for any of his verses, features, or songs being wack in the last year and a half at least. He has come out the gate and delivered nothing but strong and intelligent hip hop. Even his radio singles were not made to be that way.They got picked up pushed by the stations because they were fire. When girls are wearing shirts sporting Kendrick lines and he didn’t even saturate or try for that market. People need to stop hating. The kid is something special. Realistically with the body of work and what he has been doing he has worked his way into my top 5 and is heading into a legendary bracket. Every sport has prodigies right? Secondly Jay Rock has been nice and it took money trees to see this. He has been nice since the breeding ground of All Hip Hop. Real Hip Hop is alive if people want to search or accept it. Thirdly Soul is always lazy. Dope artist but he delivers the same way he pushes himself through the industry. Lastly Q has made a strong presence with an intelligent ignorance which is something that satisfies the mainstream along with the true fan. Bottom line there are tons of dope artists out just like them. And Kendrick textbook murdered this the way he has murdered everything.

  51. ColEWorld says:

    Listen to Jay Rock’s verse and tell me he’s not dissing meek…

  52. B says:

    King…..Kendrick? Shots at King Push??

  53. OGRODDY says:

    Schoolboy don’t care.
