Kendrick Lamar 'Control' Verse: K-Dot Talks Response To Diss Track With Hot 97's Rosenberg

It seems everyone and their mothers have been weighing in on Kendrick Lamar's boring-as-hell 'Control' verse. Now, the snake has started eating its own tail. K-Dot spoke with Hot 97's Rosenberg on his own verse and what he thought of the responses to the diss track.

Kendrick said his favorite response came from King Los, and jokingly, Kevin Hart's rap persona Chocolate Drop. He also added that he thought Papoose's response was "comical." (hehehehe)

"I liked the [King] Los verse," Kendrick said. "Joe Budden did this thing, Joell; a lot of people with different approaches...Joey had the facts in his verse, a few things that he felt. Papoose had the comical joint. Los was flipping his words and putting that spunk on it. I think he had the killer thing though. Yeah, Los killed it out of everybody. But the number one joint at the top of the list had to be Chocolate Drop."

Kendrick also said that he has talked with the rappers who were actually named in the song and says he doesn't expect there to be any ill will there. The Black Hippy member also explained that he doesn't want to start another East v. West rap war.

"All the ignorance behind it, you can kill that noise. It'll never be like that again where two coasts [rivals]. Not on my behalf. You get what I'm saying? Not while I'm doing this," Kendrick said. "And I think the OG's of the game would want that anyway. They'd want that competitive nature back and no bloodshed over it. You feel me? I'm way too wise and I'm way too polished to not get caught up in the hype of the media, but what I'm scared of is cats that's not polished and they getting caught up in what they Twitter responses is saying. And what they're homies around them saying and people gassing them up. And they try to take it to the next level. Nah, that's not G. That's not gangsta." 

The TDE signee also took a moment to explain his "King Of New York" line.

"My first sold out show was in New York. You get what I'm saying? So, I always looked at that place as a place that respected me and my lyrics and [I] respected the culture and the birthplace of it," Kendrick said.  "I think the ones that really took it out of context was the people that we know [who] wanted to grab an opportunity just off the fact of the hype of the record.. "Rather than actually tuning in and listening and know how hungry I am...I'm saying I'm the most hungry in this...I respect the legends in the game. I respect people who done it before me. People that lost they lives over this. So, because of what they laid down I'm gon' try and go ten times harder and breathe it and live it. And that's the whole point of the whole verse."
