Kendrick Lamar not only possesses the least likely MC name ever but the Compton, CA based rapper has gone forth and claimed that he is the “king of New York” in a guest verse on the new Big Sean song.
This is Very Big News for People Who Don’t Get Outside Much and Take Lyrics Way Too Seriously. Honestly, you gotta love it when braggadocios rap fans get all Morrissey-fan about shit and start taking the lyrics way, way, way too seriously.
Over on Jamz, Max Read talks about how Kendrick started a feud with the entire rap industry. It might be more accurate to assume that poor ol’ Kendrick is just a little stoned/coked up and was havin’ a little bit of fun. Dude also talks about Linsday Lohan in the same song. Rap fans are worse than “Walking Dead” fans.
The song was supposed to appear on the new Big Sean album, but couldn’t get released due to legal issues with the samples.
I heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time:
“Who’s the best MC?” Kendrick, Jigga and Nas,
Eminem, Andre 3000—the rest of y’all
New niggas just new niggas; don’t get involved.
And I ain’t rockin no more designer shit;
White Ts and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous
I’m usually homeboys with the same niggas I’m rhyming with,
But this is hip hop and them niggas should know what time it is.
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, 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 niggas,
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas,
They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas.
Kendrick’s pretty great, but it’s a stretch to say that the Compton rapper is king of anything in New York.
