@Seth Clayborne there's a hot 97 interview with kendrick from 02/28/13 where he's asked who from the younger generation he can take inspiration from. Kendrick says he's been listening to joey badass and that "that dude crazy". Joey put a short clip from the interview in his 'Hilary Swank' music video, released in October of 2013
Travis Buchanan that’s facts, anyone who listened to 1999 would’ve already known he was gonna be on top but he has still evolved a lot since then to be fair. And grown in popularity. But I remember seeing hardknock on 106 and park and already knew he was great Edit: so someone like Kendrick would’ve easily been able to see the success Joey was destined to have
Two years later J. Cole drops one of his best albums to show he can run with Lamar but I’ve been saying K-Dot and Cole are the two best rappers of the 2010s

"I'm Makavelis' offspring, I'm the king of New York, king of the coast, one hand I juggle em both". He's saying he's the king of the east coast and the west coast. Just like how Tupac and Suge ran the west coast and then tried to expand into New York. That's why he's Makavelis' offspring.
Jeromy Griffin yeah pac was “east coast” for 90% of his life... most people just know his death row thug rapper stuff instead of actually listening to 2pacalypse now and his older albums like that
FlyKings 2k I think he did. It just seems sus that in his verse he disses people that name drop, and then one minute later Kendrick name drops. Not to mention that Sean’s verse on the song is probably his best ever, and no better time to go change your verse if you you got washed by a feature. And the fact Sean later went on an interview bragging and saying “I could’ve gone and changed my verse” is a bit sus. Idk there’s no way tell if he did or he didn’t, I guess only Kendrick would know
The Ultra Labyrinth Of D-Bro DALE just aggression? That verse literally changed the game, 20+ artists responded to Kendrick and a sense of competition was brought back. This arguably bright more quality to the rap game which is supported by 2014-2016 being one of the best periods for hip hop music of all time. Nobody is denying that Sean had the better technical verse, but it comes nowhere near to the impact kendricks verse had, and that’s not mentioning Kendrick still brought A grade lyricism with flawless execution. And impact >> technicality
@@MjSa-es4zu the name dropping is what made people rate that verse. I guarantee that out of every 10 rap fan you ask today what they liked or remember about Control, 8 or 9 will say its due to that. I was one of the few fans at the time that settled down soon enough within a day or two after the song released to recognize the greatness of Sean's verse. Kendrick no doubt heard Sean's verse, knew it would be a waste of time to try and outdo him lyrically based on the bars and said 'fuck it, Imma just get aggressive and stir some shit up and call some names!' lol. And yeah it worked.
Kendrick Lamar: The Heart Pt. 2 Kendrick Lamar: The Heart Pt. 3 Kendrick Lamar: Good Kid, Madd City Kendrick Lamar: Duckworth It's so many good songs by King Kendrick
true dat. his whole TPAB is a letter written to Tupac himself. ppl will know this if they listen to the last track also, To Pimp a Butterfly's original name was Tu Pimp a Caterpillar (TuPAC)
@@will-sv2wh went back an listened to it recently m, tpab never hit me as much as gkmc. Might he because the issues weren't personal to me as a young white kid, the older ive got the more I've learnt that album is absolute genius very relevant too
Best thing of all is that he isn't really dissing the guys he mentions. He basically saying he's gonna be outshine his competition, and is merely waring his pairs about what time it is, but flexing so hard it's hard not to feel a certain way about it😂
I feel so honored to have been deep into rap when this song dropped, the first listen you knew something just happened that shook the whole industry up, it was watching history happen
I remember my brother sent me this song, as a 16 year old kid I was fucking shook. I had to go dissect everything, and I just couldn’t believe it. I remember too that they interviewed big Sean and he was saying how he wasn’t a bitch and didn’t rewrite his verse. Then Sean felt some kinda way about it after seeing the worlds reaction to Kendrick’s verse. What a time to be alive for sure
Gaa damn this why I love UA-cam. Going back and watching all these reactions from content creators such as yourself. Bless up brother congrats on the success 🙏
After this verse Drake was the only one who went on a he is not nice to me media run! Clearly showing he doesn’t understand lyrical competition among writers.
"I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the King of New York, King of the Coast. One hand, I juggle them both!" . Pac was born in NY, but lived in Cali for years! Kendrick is GENIUS!
@@williamvt9630 dude no joke me too, lol I just saw it on Cartier Channel uploaded 11 hours ago so I thought this was new. I started looking for it and it said 9 years old and Ive been confused until about 5 minutes ago realizing it really is that old 😂
It’s crazy to see how far you’ve come since this reaction. You went from being a newcomer in the world of Reactions, to absolutely dominating. You’re the Kendrick, Cole or Em of Reactions, owe that shit GOAT
the stomach line just like the "let your core audience stomach that, then tell 'em where you get your abs from" kenny got something with that body part.

Everyone focus on the name dropping but the last verse is Straight up evil sht, Bars no cap. Not to many can f with kendrick. I considered kendrick on the same level as Eminem, Jay Z, and Nas.

😂
I’m back again I can’t stop watching 🤣

I've never seen anyone call him "dreezy BBL" but that's great
The real diss was the people he didn't mention.
Darryl Smock Jr true
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppp
Not really he couldn’t fit some rappers he didn’t mention in the song lol, for example he loves earl and joey badass but he didn’t mention them

perfect explanation

I mean 2pac is from the east side n moved out west lol
I dont even know why people thought drake stood a chance Kdot in another stratosphere

RIGHT 🤣🤣 Aubrey's "Core fans" did🤣🤣🤣

Good kid is so slept on
