Yikes! Joe Budden & Styles P Exchange Words On Twitter Over Kendrick’s Verse
It’s not all fun and games in the rap world over this Kendrick Lamar verse. As rappers and hip-hop enthusiasts alike buzz about the song on Twitter, steadily checking to see who will be the first to respond, Joe Budden and Styles P butted heads over what started off as a friendly exchange. Styles tweeted earlier this afternoon that any rappers Kendrick called out (this includes Drake, J. Cole, Mac Miller and more) should have responded by noon today. Joe, just making conversation, replied and said that Styles was included in that, since K. Dot basically called out all of NY when he said he’s the “King of New York.” Apparently The Ghost is not a fan of Joe’s, personally or professionally, and did not take kindly to the NJ rapper popping up in his mentions. Check out the exchange in the gallery. Sheesh! Can we just get this on wax, not TWITTER?!
(Video) The Realness: Rosenberg Drops Nothing But The Truth – Kendrick Lamar Is King Right Now!
After Big Sean released, “Control” a track that will not be make an appearance, on his up-coming, Hall of Fame album – the hip-hop world went crazy! The track features Kendrick Lamar as well as Jay Electronica…what shouldn’t be a surprise is that Kendrick KILLED IT! He called out every single one of his peers that claims they are the best – including BIG SEAN (it’s his track! The real reason why it’s not making the album, lol!). Greatness is at our fingertips ladies and gentlemen, and we call it Kendrick. Today’s REALNESS is giving by Hot 97’s own Rosenberg. Hit the jump, have a listen, and let us know if you’d agree.
Rappers Respond To Kendrick Lamar’s Verse! See Who’s Dissing, Who’s Giving Props, Who’s Preparing Their Response…
Last night, Big Sean damn near broke the Internet when he released “Control,” a track that features Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica (though I don’t think anyone’s gotten to his verse…sorry Jay), and wasn’t able to be on his forthcoming sophomore album Hall Of Fame because of sample clearance issues. “…IT IS NOT no radio sh*t.. Straight rap,” Sean warned before he released it. “I’m talking 7min shit… Grimey sh*t.” And grimey it is! Kendrick had arguably the best verse on the track, but undoubtedly the most talked about. Why? Well for starters, he’s calling out all of his peers by name and challenging them to come harder. Most importantly, though, he dubbed himself the KING OF NY. A rapper from Compton, CA…the other side of the country…comfortably called himself the king of a city he’s only visited. Just one day after we celebrated hip-hop’s 40th birthday. Yo, New York rappers…y’all gonna let him have that? Because as of right now, 10:12 AM on Tuesday, August 13, 2013…he got that. Naturally, the people couldn’t just sit back and let this fly, and rappers began taking to Twitter to respond. Some were impressed and inspired, some were ready to get in the booth and show K. Dot a thing or two, some were hating (Lupe Fiasco…c’mon fam.) Unfortunately for me, hardly any…
