@Gaurav Goel He didn't mention Kanye because he probably doesn't see him as competition, Kendrick mentioned young rappers only. Notice how he didn't bring up Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas, Kanye or any other older rappers in that "I got love for you all" moment of his verse. He probably knew that they were all clearly better than him. It's clear that Kanye West is better then Kendrick
When this dropped Kendrick had Hip-Hop shook for a lil & made some artist get up and drop some heat. Hip-Hop needs more of this I wanna see good rappers drop fire tracks left, right & centre just like how Meek said keep it fun and in the music Hip-Hops kinda stale atm.
Jared Yearsley Because hip hop isn’t based on talent & lyrical skill anymore it’s about popularity and which popular artist can make a label the most money Kanye is talented though
Jared Yearsley It will always be about it but if you look at the majority of artist and majority of the popular artist who are soon to take over most ain’t lyrical and probs couldn’t write a deep lyrical piece if someone had a gun to their head
Kendrick definitely had the hardest verse on Control, and easily one of the most iconic verses of the last decade. Bar none. Regardless, without the name drops, Big Sean and Jay Electronica did more than just hold their own.
If u think that’s all drake has ur insane drake has crazy bars and if u don’t understand that u haven’t listened enough. There’s a reason EVERY rapper fucks with drake bc they know he can spit
The way I see it, Kendrick wouldn’t have said it if he knew he couldn’t prove it. Few years later here we are in 2018, and Kendrick’s one of the biggest out right now and one of the greatest. RESPECT ON TDE
Tokur kurrupt was in this video. Him and snoop had a song called New York New York where they said the king of New York line and the shot up the video shoot cus they felt disrespected
BIG KRIT!!!!!!!!! Thank you, I feel like no one ever acknowledged that verse it was the best response in my opinion. Just glad someone finally mentioned it.
When I heard this track.. I was so overwhelmed and new fo sho that kdot was here to school and inspire the other hiphop artistes and he did that accordingly... Kungfu Kenny for Life!!!!
Man I remember this like just yesterday. It was 5. Fucking. Years. Ago. Born Sinner in June, Hall of Fame dropped in August and Nothing was the Same dropped in September 13'.
I was just listening to the song yesterday. It's weird how much time has passed since that verse. Cannot even believe it's already been 5 years since the verse.
All of you here are sleeping on Joell Ortiz response😴🔥🔥. And y'all didn't know that he responded to Kendrick Lamar 6 hours after control was released. What a greatest mc he is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One name i juggle them all with one hand all he saying is dont stop keep trying that's really respect for towards you and he is motivateing encouraging you to even think of you in competitive way is awesome
I feel like this song is the point when a new generation of rap truly started, people were still chasing a 2000s type radio hits with this people came with the lyrics, will need a control for this generation.
The loop that sounds in the background actually says: "El pueblo unido jamas será vencido" which is a very common used protest yells in latin america. That's just crazy.
*Editor's note: We mistakenly included an alternate GKMC cover.
Genius same difference
Nah that's F A N A R T from GTA dummy
Genius it’s ok we all make mistakes
Genius way to mess that up Genius..
- jvsona nigga make your mind up
The fact kendrick said “they gotta try harder” is absolute gold
The standard is high and that standard is kdot himself
That’s hilarious and disrespectful at the same time haha
"Try harder"
Thats something a respectable chess player would say to a good checkers player.
Love how the video didn't mention nothing about Kendrick saying King Los had the best control response though
I felt like Kendrick was like Thanos when he said "they gonna try harder" to the responses
man I think if you weren’t mentioned in Kendrick’s verse then he didn’t consider you competition
That is the only true interpretation of it man. I must say tho, I liked Ortiz's and Joey's responses.
Or their name didnt rhyme
@@Jamie-Sparrow ahahahahha
He didn’t even think they were competition, they were just the highest below him
@Gaurav Goel He didn't mention Kanye because he probably doesn't see him as competition, Kendrick mentioned young rappers only.

Rappers hella sensitive
Walking W your profile picture made that even funnier lmaoo
Walking W Drake was upset (nervous) because he knows he can’t lyrically beat Kendrick
Drake hella sensitive
bro I'm the 1k like.
It’s to keep rap exciting and competitive
Drake really took that verse to heart lmao
salute100 Drake is trash.
Fr that nigga is wayy too emotional
salute100 typical lightskin nigga
Lol he mad
lightskin niggas.....
Drake was upset (nervous) because he knows he can’t lyrically beat Kendrick
Yup
Not even with eight sub credited writers and every advantage possible on earth because he’s tried lol. Kendrick just picked up the pencil
Kendrick Lamar will serve Drake and his team of Ghostwriters 😂
he couldn't
He still can't.
When this dropped Kendrick had Hip-Hop shook for a lil & made some artist get up and drop some heat. Hip-Hop needs more of this I wanna see good rappers drop fire tracks left, right & centre just like how Meek said keep it fun and in the music Hip-Hops kinda stale atm.
the ringer brother
'kinda stale' is right. How the hell is 'I Love It' top the charts?
Jared Yearsley Because hip hop isn’t based on talent & lyrical skill anymore it’s about popularity and which popular artist can make a label the most money Kanye is talented though
Hail Caesxr Beats Kanye a creative genius. No denying Lil Pump is popular, but true hip hop always gonna be about lyrical skill.
Jared Yearsley It will always be about it but if you look at the majority of artist and majority of the popular artist who are soon to take over most ain’t lyrical and probs couldn’t write a deep lyrical piece if someone had a gun to their head
the fact people tried to reply to kendrick with those weak ass bars is disrespect
Responses from Joel Ortiz, Papoose, and Lupe was weak??? I don't think so.
On god !
@@oblambo papooze was weak as shit.
This nigga really said Papoose's name. GTFO lmfao
@@OgLoC2 this nigga sure did 😂😂✌
Kendrick is my favorite rapper alive
me too bud, wait in line.
Rip X
He got tupac in him
I went to see that idiot who said “you the next on my fork” he ain’t even making music no more 😂😂
Kendrick is the best rapper that ever come out
I never understood how Big sean could release the song with that verse💀
Bro frfr 😂
Sean went crazy on it too tho
i think its a compliment
Big Sean's just that big lol
Cause real recognize real and that verse was monstrous
The fact that j cole didn’t come with a rebuttal and instead just did the Black Friday remix with Kendrick is amazing
And that collab was 🔥🔥🔥
More than a decade later and this verse still doing damage. Greatest verse of all time
*King of New York is a **_F U C K I N G_** movie*
3D KURLS 🤣
I would pay to watch it
Who was the KING OF THE NEW YORK???? 😂😂😂😂😂 Kurupt lmao
Wuz kurupt on coke😂😂😂
Kurupt was on something lmao
That 2nd verse was so powerful we completely forgot how good Jay's 3rd verse was. A Pivotal movement in Hiphop history??
No. He drops a verse every 6 years and its supposed to be magical? it's good, but nothing to get all worked up over
Jay’s verse was nice but that boy don’t drop anything so it doesn’t even matter
I think he's talking about Kendricks verse being pivotal, not Jay Electronicas
NICOLAS ARZOLA-COLON suppp
LeBeautiful I forgot he was he even on it
Kendrick definitely had the hardest verse on Control, and easily one of the most iconic verses of the last decade. Bar none. Regardless, without the name drops, Big Sean and Jay Electronica did more than just hold their own.
Without a shred of a doubt, they all KILLED it. Kenny's was just that much sharper to make it make a difference
rip mac miller
I knew somebody was gon say it
@@jnall5904 niggas will do anything for likes
Ahmed Ibrahim yep 🤦🏾♂️
Let be honest nobody listened to mac miller before died
@@therealboyboy7449 you're a moron
This was legendary
So 5 years from now, there's going to be another video, " Looking Back At Kendrick Lamar’s "Like That" Verse | Song Stories "
Best response was Mac, he did it on a track with Q, took the message the right way
Kendrick Lamar songs: taught in literature classes
Drake: kiki do you love me?
Lmaaaao
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
nd i wonder y drake even on the list lmaoo
Damn we actually analyzed Sing about me in literature
If u think that’s all drake has ur insane drake has crazy bars and if u don’t understand that u haven’t listened enough. There’s a reason EVERY rapper fucks with drake bc they know he can spit
Drake is soft
Facts
More like... Microsoft
people been saying that forever but idk how it's even an insult really
Nigga took that to the heart..
Taneka Bellamy Drake was upset (nervous) because he knows he can’t lyrically beat Kendrick
White dude: How do you feel about the comebacks...
K.Dot: They gotta try harder
White guy
White folk
White fellow
white
White boi
Kendrick's gun go doo-doo, Meek's gun goes blat-blat. What? 😂
Meek was saying kendrick is shooting with a pistol possibly a silencer. While meek shoots a more powerful automatic gun
😂
In GKMC, a few of Kendrick's verses and skits included him making gun noises, and the noises he made could be transcribed as "doo-doo-doo-doo"
I thought It was paying homagebto the song put it on by big l
If ya all dont knaw "Doo doo doo" is One of K dot Ad libs For Guns
I love how much respect Kendrick has always had for Mac. I wish they had time too make more music. Rest In Peace MR. Fisherman.
The way I see it, Kendrick wouldn’t have said it if he knew he couldn’t prove it. Few years later here we are in 2018, and Kendrick’s one of the biggest out right now and one of the greatest. RESPECT ON TDE
Everyone stepped up their bars and music after that verse.
Not drizzy though only gave about 4 rap songs since then
@@tahachihab8226 and then he got murdered my pusha T
Fast forward to 2024, hip hop needs another control verse to really get these new rappers to step up their bars
@@DOUBLEJOE850 Heh Do you Like That :)))
"They gotta try harder" is THE best response I've ever heard this man is a genius
The verse that changed hip hop forever
How? Verse was trash
@@runegeezy🧢
Kendrick is da best rapper out there!!!
*_No rap_* 🎓😒
STFU💩
*D R A K E* *I S* 👑
Louis Alleyne Em
Drake is overrated, and u can't say shit about that.
nah eminem
why was that guy so mad with the king of new york line lmaooo
JayhanDave territory
JayhanDave wait which guy, kurrupt ?
@@jbtheprophet It wasnt kurupt wtf
Why would kurrupt even care about NY
Tokur kurrupt was in this video. Him and snoop had a song called New York New York where they said the king of New York line and the shot up the video shoot cus they felt disrespected
Pap: "How do you feel about the responses to your CONTROL verse?"
Ken: "They gotta try harder"
Me: *Spits Out Drink*
😅
kendrick sacrificed himself to make new school rap great again. To make those rappers he mentioned, step up their A game. RESPECT
Like, Drake got worse and still is breaking records like crazy
R.I.P. Drake
Kendrick and Cole on another level to their peers
Not Cole
Definetely not Jermain Cole
That verse birthed a super duper star.
It’s the old adage “ if I don’t say, I’m the best who will?”.
Kendricks verse on this was next level. It proved he's a different level to other rappers. 👌🏽
Kendrick spun them man differently, that shit is timeless
MY HAPPINESS WAS RESTORED WHEN THEY ASK HIM HOW E FELT ABOUT OTHER RAPPER RESPONSE AND THE KIND SAID THEY GOTTA TRY HARDER. ALL HAIL KING KENDRICK
I just want to say I’m glad Big Sean doesn’t think he got washed on Control. He’s the only one who thinks that, but I’m glad someone does
😂😂😂😂
BIG KRIT!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, I feel like no one ever acknowledged that verse it was the best response in my opinion.
Just glad someone finally mentioned it.
the year is 2031, kendrick dropped again yall, bout to go jam with my grand kids.
*insert big sean making arthur fist*
OB3 STA t😂😂💀💀
Kung Fu Kenny did it again 😂
Big KRIT had the best response. No question. #TheSouth
Boogie Scott Facts !!!!!!!
Nah it was King Los
Facts young krizzle Multi TIL the sun die
Ken and Em forever ❤❤❤
Had to check in after euphoria and the grahams
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Kendrick and Jcole just collabed and I couldn't be happier
That diss verse has been greater than any rap beef songs put out in the last couple of years. Legendary
Do a video about the history of Kendrick and Drake. What happened between them? Are they beefing or not?
They already did
edit: nvm hip-hop dx kinda covered it
drake just salty he aint as good as him
Theres no beef, kendrick already ate it
freddy Fuck no lmao
@@thedarkside55567
My nigga what?!😲😲😲 those low-key some bars right there lol
When I heard this track.. I was so overwhelmed and new fo sho that kdot was here to school and inspire the other hiphop artistes and he did that accordingly... Kungfu Kenny for Life!!!!
Do One Of Big Krit Mt. Olympus 💯💯
Baby Luwop I was thinking the same, krit is slept on the most tbh🤦🏻♂️
Big sean still denies being outrapped by Kendrick on Control
Man I remember this like just yesterday. It was 5. Fucking. Years. Ago. Born Sinner in June, Hall of Fame dropped in August and Nothing was the Same dropped in September 13'.
I’m crying at meek mill bruh 😂😂 man said you’re the king of New York? What is wrong with you 😭😭
RIP Mac Miller
The control verse was much needed for hip hop at that time
Big Sean's verse get slept on like crazy
I mean Ken had one of the best verses ever, what did you expect
@@WyWid I mean did he? It was just controversial... let’s be honest electronicas verse was much more tasteful
Who here after the beef? 😂
Dear Aubrey,
I wish Control was on Spotify.
It is
@@johanesandrentolentino372 all I found was a podcast about some middle age men debating about the song lol
Very happy they included Macs reply. I listen to FACES very often and I always loved that little easter egg
Kendrick's Verse was game changing, too true. But Big Sean's Verse is criminally underrated
I remember this like yesterday. Kendrick made rap exciting again with the bars he be giving. He shook the industry with that verse.
Joey Bada$$ response was the best y’all sleeping 💤 he responded with some fire lyricism 🔥
Still listen to this control weekly...
I used to think Kendrick's verse was fire back when the song dropped but Jay's verse was pure lyricism.
King los was the best
I was just listening to the song yesterday.
It's weird how much time has passed since that verse.
Cannot even believe it's already been 5 years since the verse.
I remember that verse like it was yesterday. Kendrick closing in as my favourite rapper of all-time.
Can any people explain why Kendrick is quite? You think he's dropping a new album or something?
hes working bro
i hope he is
Quiet*
Did you forget he made a whole album for black panther
Because Killers move in silence
5:06 thats the definition of thug life 😎
I need a old thug life blunt and glasses gif
Verse of the decade
Might wanna look back at it again...
3:27 Its crazy cause i never realized j cole responded and i listened to both songs
That Meek mill response was fire though
true facts
Behind king Los yes.
On the Dr Dre sample tho. Meek low-key had the best response, especially considering that he was beefing wit Cassidy at the time.
Your guns go DOO DOO mine go BLAT BLAT
I do it for the niggas on the corner you do it for the niggas with the back pack
5 years later, and Kendrick is the king!
😂not anymore
@@ElevateFitLife who’s the king?
0:25 lmaoo they used a GTA cover
Was literally just bumpin this !!!!
Who else listening to Control right after this video? 😂
Preston Poindexter I’m listening to big Krit after this🤘🏼
Its one of the best bars ever spit
Preston Poindexter me
Thank you for this. Helped me to understand a lot more of this song.
kendrick is better
Truly rare moment in Hip Hop. I am yet to witness that kinda impact of a verse again.
Mac a fool, dissed Kendrick on a track featuring Schoolboy Q. TDE and Mac were all close homies though. RIP Mac. Faces one of the GOAT mixtapes
All of you here are sleeping on Joell Ortiz response😴🔥🔥. And y'all didn't know that he responded to Kendrick Lamar 6 hours after control was released. What a greatest mc he is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the hardest verses in rap history
verse of the century
Joey had the best response hands down.
And Joey knew it wasnt a diss too
It’s really unbelievable like if u see nowdays beef how looks like and this dude Just named all the best rappers alive one by one DAMN 🔥🔥
At this point Drake should just go back to acting.
Still gives me goosebumps when I hear him calling them out
If y’all know about joey badass response then y’all know 🤷🏿♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Starnes Arcade no flow
Eduardo Martinez he ain’t need it bro he murked him
KSwank it was crazy underrated 🤷🏿♂️
Right ! I’m surprised it didn’t gain Joey any attention
It was ite
One name i juggle them all with one hand all he saying is dont stop keep trying that's really respect for towards you and he is motivateing encouraging you to even think of you in competitive way is awesome
Back in 2024 after Euphoria 🎉
I feel like this song is the point when a new generation of rap truly started, people were still chasing a 2000s type radio hits with this people came with the lyrics, will need a control for this generation.
Kendrick spazzing on everyone 😭😭
That ain't christ like
The loop that sounds in the background actually says: "El pueblo unido jamas será vencido" which is a very common used protest yells in latin america. That's just crazy.
Damn 2024 Kendrick still coming for Drake
I remember when this Gem dropped 🔥
Big Sean's Control verse is criminally underrated; it's sad.
Bro, how can y’all not crown him as the best of this generation,he literally had his peers and a couple OGs coming at em
