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…

(Video) In Addition To Their Own Projects Meek Mill And Wale Are Doing What !!!
The Red Carpet got a lot of buzz this past weekend. Meek Mill and MMG group mate Wale informed VIBE that they are doing a joint mixtape. I wonder what that’s going to sound like. I may just be here by the time summer hits (YAY – just in time for my birthday – LOL !!!). The two also are in the mix of working on their solo projects of course. Wale will be working with producer, No I.D. for his third album. “My third album, it’s gonna be reminiscent of my first album, Attention Deficit, a lot of musicality in it. I’m bringing back guys from the 90s that I looked up to. I’m excited about that.” I’m excited too ! While he’s doing that Meek Mill is working on DC3 and the next single off of “Dreams and Nightmares.” Working hard. Keep up the good work guys. Drop down bottom for the video.
