Control is trending worldwide now (untailored).
Full of errors but it's decent.

None of that is objective, dope, other than being "commercially" stronger.
And I find awesome that you remember some post I must have made about a Nas album. Love it.

Rap is in the toilet. Calling out people by names in 2013 apparently is a revelatory moment.
So kendrick doesn't have better critical reception and a bigger fanbase?

Big Sean's verse is the weakest but I think that's the hottest he has spit in awhile.
I'm giving you the bigger fan base argument as I mentioned. Critical reception is not objective you joker.
Is this the part where you say it's all subjective, then I post some metacritic links for both careers and then you say that doesn't count?
Kendrick Lamar just dropped the most unanimously positively regarded album since MBDTF. That encapsulated Big K.R.I.T.'s entire career worth of stuff. That is not subjective at all either. The response to GKMC is something hip-hop hasn't seen for a while, for a newcomer, even longer.
Switch Up > his verse on Control.
Are you for fucking real? Lol
Why don't you go to Gaming and make a thread saying how, "objectively" speaking, GTAIV is the best game ever because of its metascore lmao.
And in this case is even worse because music is even more subjective.
I didnt say anything was the best ever. I'm talking about critical reception. And yeah, GTAIV was highly received by critics, including GotY awards.
deal with it
Are you talking opinions or critical opinions? I think you have to understand the whole purpose of using critics as some sort of metric is the objectivity they offer once you give them authority for comparative purposes.
If your trying to use this argument that every opinion is subjective, you shouldn't have acknowledged critic opinions as a point of comparison.
GKMC >>> the entirety of KRIT's discography. deal w/ it.

You deal with the fact that a metascore (lulz) is not the metric to come to the conclusion if something's objective or not. Since you don't want to make the thread in Gaming as I told you, I believe you just lost this argument.
He's coming back this year.. Sort of? Got a lot of features.
......It's the only numerical/quantitative marker of aggregate opinion we have. And in that sense, Kendrick is clearly better. We could talk about awards and end of the year recognition too, whatever you'd like. You can win the internet argument if you like though!

For real. There was nothing even slightly raw about it. I mean overall it's a good verse but the callouts were hardly callouts at all.

I want to see more salty rapper responses on twitter!
Lupe can talk since he has Food and Liquor under his belt. Fabolous though? Hmmmmm.
I'd love to see B4DA$$ replying to this, even though he wouldn't do much.

Agreed, but dude has fallen off big time these past couple of years.
I like Fab, but c'mon.
And I really like Joey too but Summer Knights was unfortunately a step down from 1999. Hopefully this just motivates them all.
hahaha
Lol you know drake don't care. He's sipping white wine rolling his eyes right now with common.

Actually, he does mention drake.
Drake did tweet this a couple of days ago...
"Bench players talking like starters I hate it."

Food and Liquor (and The Cool) are dope but that was 06/07. None of his albums since then have touched that quality.

He probably knows Drake would pay Em to write him a verse and kill K.Dot.

Drake, Cole, etc won't respond. Kendrick wasn't dissing anyone, he was planting his flag. Which rappers don't really do anymore.
He's friends with all the dudes he checked. Thank god dudes are taking their verses more seriously now.

Em would put Rihanna/Skyler Grey on a hook and it would go from this could be dope, to this is the lamest shit ever in the span of seconds. But that has mostly been Eminem's style for a good minute now.

Kendrick did get a lot better from this freestyle but still Charles was 20.

He did call drake out?
He says he's friends with all of them, but it's hip-hop. Shit is a competition.
Doubt any of the people called out will respond.
