This was brilliant...
Kendrick is the only "new *****" to be able to get away with this...
Wale - is wack, is always angry, hater incarnate, rappin *** rapper, he wants the attention
Big KRIT - who is this guy?, country, Compaq Presario production
Mac Miller - corny, white rapper, look at his fanbase, what does he/they know?
Meek Mills -
Tyler - trollin, can't take serious, shock value questions
Big Sean - delivery is weak, laughable attempt to sound tough, someone turn on the bass boost
Pusha T - old, desperate, trying to become relevant/relive his youth
Jay Electronica - illuminati, power move by the Rothschilds, suspicion
ASAP - already braggadocious, not hip-hop enough, needs to be G checked for authenticity
Drake - this is not you, part-time rapper, you're from Toronto tho...
J. Cole maybe could have done this and gotten a similar response as Kdot, but I just don't see him taking that risk. Also he doesn't have a team like Black Hippy to call to arms if **** gets more serious

View media item 539199
Kendrick Lamar started a hip-hop battle royale Monday when he called out rappers by name with his verse in Big Sean's
Control.
Lamar dropped the gauntlet with a chorus that included these lyrics: "I'm usually homeboys with the same n----- I'm rhymin' with/But this is hip-hop and them n----- should know what time it is/And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale/Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake/Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller/I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you n-----."
By Wednesday, all sorts of artists, including Lupe Fiasco and B.o.B., had taken the challenge. (Note: Links lead to audio with explicit language.)
In
SLR 2, Lupe Fiasco rapped, "N---- you ain't Nas, n---- you ain't Jay Z/You will respect me, you will reject me/But I've done so much, no matter how far you go, you will reflect me

B.o.B.'s
How 2 Rap included not only his boasts — "I know that I'm shinin', I know that I'm shinin'/Don't worry, 'cause you can find shade in my shadow" — but also his instrumental prowess, when he launched into a guitar solo after saying, "Give me my guitar pick, I'll show you s---."
In
Outta Control (Response to Kendrick Lamar), Brooklyn MC Joell Ortiz responded, "Homey, you ain't the king of New York, you're the next thing on my fork."
On Tuesday, ICE T tweeted: "I love how ONE verse woke Hip Hop the F--- up. It's been a LONG time since people talked about ANYTHING someone said in their rhyme." In later tweets, he added, "I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of replies and diss tracks. Don't trip. It's just Hip Hop. ... Hey, Hip Hop stripes are born in battle. Me and LL (Cool J) did our thing back in the day. It's part of the game."
