well i think the initial idea was to have both simultaneously, to have a plethora of money and the prospect of becoming the greatest. the context of kendrick's list of the new school rappers is that these are guys who were good enough to make their money (to the point where it's nearly inconsequential), and now it's about the dream.
perhaps it was forgotten or shafted once they all became rich, but kendrick seems to still hold on to that and now that he's got the money, he's locked his sights for the top. or at least the first to vocally notify everyone that it's his next step.

lmao fucking dead at that Drake page
A must watch: 9th Wonder and Young Guru break and debate over Kendricks verse.
Really funny but a bunch of truths there. Copy+pasting from what I said in GAF-Hop but really, what do you say to Kendrick when he's cornered every barbershop argument? What will their rhymes contain? Choice quote.
"There's a lot of n***as running around the city talking about they "really rap." They're complaining that's the reason why they're not on. So really rap. I'm on, so really rap."
Also Big Sean explains Control. IMO this is how everyone should handle getting wrecked on their own track. If sample clearances was a cop out, he wouldn't have put it out period.

9th hit the nail on the head. Not only did Kendrick murder everyone, he kept it 100% on rap. Doesn't care about clothes, doesn't care about cars, doesn't focus on money...dude is daring people to out rap him. That's it.
These dudes can't even comprehend that. They've been gliding on being richer or selling more than people, but finally here's a dude who went platinum yet can still rap his ass off.

aw hell nah i aint catching up on 9 pages
this was 10x more fun than any sean track should be
...wow
its still weird that it's being called a diss track but that's a whole other level of dumb
this, so hard
its been said but the only people more immune to this hungry/competitive side of hip-hop are the pop dudes like flo rida & pitbull, going after them would be as weird as when em would name pop stars alla time
that really would be the best thing to come out of it, but its clearly not happening...i missed today's responses but honestly if joel ortiz is a highlight i shouldv'e stayed asleep
hew
HEW
if son lives in an apt complex i don't think he should rep his floor
he knows about hip-hop, you can gather that from interviews but i don't think ive given a shit about his input on anything (past his taste in women, which is respectable) since he whined about XXL calling meth & others better lyricists and he threw a tantrum
who is gafhop and why are you talking about a thread youve very clearly never even seen

"Feed me Dame, Feed me Leor"

Nice to see people like 9th wonder and young guru reiterating what a couple people were saying on the first page.

He better not be featured on Drake's next album or do another tour with J Cole. Otherwise this was just another stupid rap publicity stunt.

I love that Joell flow...but I'm not feeling all of this "response" bullshit.
These rappers are so fucking dumb
Like.. respond to what exactly? This isn't a diss, it's a fucking wake up call to do more than the usual things to sell a few records - everybody who responds to this so early misunderstood the whole point K-Dot was getting at. Respond with carefully crafted albums that actually has some depth and value instead of responding with a track that you shit out the next day which is by the way pretty ironic since this is how most of these rappers craft their albums

Somehow Joe Budden and Styles P ended up beefing with each other when Kendrick was supposed to be the target.
Nore jumped in
Royce too
NY hip hop lost, Knicks Lost, and somehow Nas Lost.

He called himself the king of NY. I think that's what made certain rappers mad. Not the "step your shit up" part where he is calling out names. Being from Cali and calling yourself the king of NY is a big deal, it's a slap in the face to many NY rappers because it's kendrick basically saying you're not important and your town loves me more than you. That is shown in Astro kid and Joell's responses.

Why didn't he bring up Kanye... That would have made this much more entertaining.
Even Kings bow to Yeezus...
Kanye's not new school, they're a different class. He's talking about the dudes coming through with him.
Dunno why he bought Pusha up though, dudes been in the game quite awhile.

None of the dudes Kendrick named (or other guys on that level) are going to respond directly. It's much easier to drop a hot verse on a different beat and then throw in a sublim reference to Control, rather than a head to head freestyle on the same beat.
The dudes responding directly now are just using Kendrick's name to get their buzz up (or back up).

Styles P said:
Wait these are grown ass men right? Just just checking. I mean it's hard to tell. With all the empty threats and invitations to a ffight. Seriously reading that is taking me back. Haven't heard shit like this since the thugs in high school would get in each others face talking shit then slowly walk away from each other still talking about how they'd fuck the other up.
