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. Read More »
Looks like Joey Bada$$ is the latest to respond to a verse that didn't really warrant all that much talk in the first place. You had to expect this, though. Other than A$AP Rocky, no other rapper has been held up as the return of New York hip-hop more than Joey, and his response to Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse, "Killuminati Pt. 2" is one of the better ones out there.

While ASAP Rocky made it clear that there was no point in responding to Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse, apparently Trap Lord ASAP Ferg didn't hear him (in spite of the fact that he was sitting right next to him when he said it).

While the internet has been aflame over Kendrick Lamar's (actually kind of lackluster...I mean a list of names is an audacious thing to put out, but it's still just a list) verse on Big Sean's "Control," Lupe Fiasco has been busy doing something about it. While Lupe was not explicitly mentioned in the verse that called out Jay Z, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, Wale and others, he did release two songs (one seeming to address the controversy directly, the other just a decent song to prove he's still got it) "SLR 2" and "#DopeFrancis."
