That last part of the verse where he starts off “I’m trying raise the bar high” goes through three alliteration rhyme schemes. G then P then S. GPS. Kenny was telling them where the bar had been raise to giving them locations with that verse Jesus Christ this man is different
Period. All my drake fan homies been confused how I like them both but still let them know Kendrick Is light years away. Not even a rap god but a Hip Hop alien 👽
I think Kendrick is such a complete rapper/poet. His writing skills are fouth dimensional . He is a genius. We need to appreciate and give him his flowers now.
This isn’t “Like That” this was playfully telling the rest to step up to dot’s level. He still worked with guys he name dropped and Mac playfully poked back on Faces just showing that they love each other. “Like that” though…there was absolutely nothing friendly about that😂Bro wasn’t telling them to “step up” he was telling them to STRAP up
Real talk, I neeeeeeever saw this as a diss to anyone he named. It's forgotten that the core of hip hop was competition. Hip Hop was and still is a competitive genre. That's why when he said "I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin wit/But this is Hip Hop and these niggas should know what time it is..." and the finished his list of names with "this is competition, I'm tryin to raise the bar high, who's tryin to jump and get it?" I was like OH, HE ISSUING A CHALLENGE!!😮 He's saying I'm trying elevate this genre that pays us from the space it's in to something greater. BUT, it being competition he had to throw down that quick slap. People put their best work and go the hardest they FEEL someone going at their neck. But people heard the bars and names and instinctively took it as a diss. And good on them, because they came back with their best bars in defense. This was the shot in the arm Hip Hop needed for real.
Facts Kendrick ain’t dissing he wants a challenge Nobody today will come close though not gonna lie. He goes beyond rap it’s lyrical poetry Untitled unmastered is a great example Crazy as it sounds, songs like these he actually DUMBS DOWN his lyrics
This! If anything it was a compliment, but people like Drake are too soft to hear that, and take personal offense. The real diss was to anyone who WASNT mentioned
You are absolutely right to say that people only paid attention to the name dropping part of the verse. That’s actually what Drake was saying when he asked how the verse starts.
Facts. I remember when this dropped and that's all people focused on. Kendrick said so much other dope shit in the verse but it got overshadowed by some name-drops.
That is NOT what Drake was saying lol Drake was saying everyone would eventually forget the song and it was just shock value. But he was wrong because it is still being talked about till this day 10 years later
@@ZayForReal_ he asked Elliot how does it start on the spot lol listen to the rest of that interview. He was salty and saying he is only focused on making things that last. He literally was saying people would forget the verse in time. He was wrong
Now I want you to listen and analyze Big Sean's verse to this song. Just listen to how many bars are in Big Sean's Verse. Sean even replies to Kendrick name dropping in his verse aswell. This was one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. And it was Big Sean and Kentrick combined that made it happen.
I always said this callouts always took away from the verse itself. This is one of Kdots hardest verse, almost every line is a bar and with his syllables. Shit was fire as hell.
Are u kidding me this man created a whole new galaxy with this verse. Drake decide to go against the man that spit this verse. I'm a Cole fan but Kdot is the GOAT of this generation hands down
Especially when he said “Your shots will never penetrate, pin the tail on the donkey boy you been a fake” nigga was talking bout drake or big sean😂 but drake got writers so i feel like it was about him
I remember when this came out, motherfuckers where I live were angry cause like, hows this fresh kid from the west coast gonna say he's the king of new york, but then when you ask them who is they had to be like... "idk Jay Z" and it's like... is that who you really want runnin the show? just give kung fu kenny the whole country, he's the reincarnation of Pac. Nas doesn't want it, big is dead, Jay Z is great, but what has he done for new york rap really? just fed from it like a vampire.
You should react to "Mount Olympus" by Big Krit, especially when he directly references "Control" with the following lyrics. "All this attention, I don't even know what I might even do with it That Control beat is like an ugly bitch that everybody done fucked raw Maybe you hit it Aww man, I'm more concerned why n_____ been textin' my cell, callin' my phone Ask me about this Kendrick shit, that he ain't even really even diss me on"
Yo! I love this K-Dot. This is what separated him from the rest of the game. He took a page from his brother from another mother Eminem. “I’d diss Melly Mell if I had too” that’s a shout out to Em. Dre just stated Em is the best rapper period.. Dre worked with them all. I know EM white and all but don’t get it twisted. He will ride with Kendrick and all corny lines a side EMs bars are second to none. “If I was half as good as I used to be, I’m still twice as good as you’ll ever be”
I love seeing a current react to this. I'd love to se a little miniseries of tracks like this from Kendrick on his 'I'm the King' shit with his shit from the 2013 TDE cipher and The Heart part4 and King Kunta and Humble and his verse from Family Ties and those type of tracks from him.

I NEED IT TOO!!
Absolutely 🫡😤

I think Kendrick is such a complete rapper/poet. His writing skills are fouth dimensional . He is a genius. We need to appreciate and give him his flowers now.
here after not like us... people forget kdot is a battle rapper and a fuckin beast at that
"Is Kendrick the best lyricist out there right now?"
You know the answer Scru. We all do.
This isn’t “Like That” this was playfully telling the rest to step up to dot’s level. He still worked with guys he name dropped and Mac playfully poked back on Faces just showing that they love each other.
“Like that” though…there was absolutely nothing friendly about that😂Bro wasn’t telling them to “step up” he was telling them to STRAP up
"your parachute is a latex condom hooked to a dread" is insane XD
I'm going through a lot right now, and tgat line changed my mood instantly.
Yeah Kendrick on a normal day decided you know what let's opt for violence had Big Sean saying why did he say fuck me for 😂
Damnnn Kendrick we just had Ciroc together 😂😂
@@KejuB lol word
I never realized how insane this verse is in reality. Kendrick is a monster jfc.
Everyone remembers where they were when this verse dropped
Kendrick has given Hip Hop so many iconic moments!!!
Pre calculus class in high school. With my skullcandy headphones on my flip keyboard Samsung LMFAO
This is how reactors be breaking down EMs songs. This is also why Em says Kendrick is one of the goats.
5:54 bro was predicting that drake was lined up for execution 😂
Kendrick been no. 1 that’s what we’ve been tryna tell you
People barely waking up bro drake pop tarts living in denial west cost is the best coast 😂💀
Big K.R.I.T.'s "Mt. Olympus"...his way of responding to Control. Fire beat. Crazy flows. Please give this a thumbs up.
The most authentic response to the Control verse. Long live KRIT! 💯
Yes!!!! KRIT don’t get enough respect
💪🏾🔥
Must watch @SCRU
I was hoping someone was going bring this up 😂
Facts I still love his control verse since 2013
Ight cool
Got dang... I forgot about that section where he pops off with that almost Em esque extended punch line about the plane lol
Big Sean still getting bullied in the funniest ways but Kendrick to this day, Big Sean drops Kendrick releases something same day lmao
Ayo hold up ain't no way😂😂😂 that's god level trolling
Drake got lined up alright

Right!!!
King Los and Lupe Fiasco are some of the most unrecognized pens in the GAME
Bruh... I be feeling like reactors are scared to react to Lupe
What everyone has lupe as one of the best lyricist in the game he just don't make good music same with king los
Mural is a masterpiece of lyricism.
@@dawahnsalaam scared to react to Lupe? That makes no objective sense. Soemtimes you just got to be real and leave the feels out of it.
@@ojerico6097 arguable. Lupe has some classics. I’d say the only reason he has a trash album is label involvement
I feel like no one talks about how Krit had hands down the best response to this verse. Mt Olympus goes crazy.
Facts
Since it dropped i have listened to it every year
I’ve always thought of the name drops in this verse as a compliment. He named who he thought in his opinion were the top MC’s at the time
Exactly, He dissed whoever wasn't mentioned
This one of best rap verses in the last 20 years
*50 years
More throwbacks plz ! So many gems need to be highlighted! Wale- Groundhog Day
I always said this callouts always took away from the verse itself. This is one of Kdots hardest verse, almost every line is a bar and with his syllables. Shit was fire as hell.
Idk, like he said, he was issuing a challenge and just called out those who he thought could rise up. except Drake, he want that brotha head 🤣
Don’t forget his word play. I’m up at 2am studying this verse lol
Are u kidding me this man created a whole new galaxy with this verse. Drake decide to go against the man that spit this verse. I'm a Cole fan but Kdot is the GOAT of this generation hands down

Ab-Soul & Kendrick Lamar - Rapper Shit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kendrick was saying “I’ll 1V20 the game if I have too”!
It's as if he was egging the industry to beef with him 😂. This dude is seriously diabolical. Drake FELT like it's a 20v1, Kendrick WANTED a 20v1.
He said the Parachute is a condom. lmao Jump if you want to, you're still phucked. 😂😂😂 The man said the parachute not gon save you.

Yo dope that you brought control up during this time with it all heating up!!

Damn....You were right Scru, J Cole did skate out of this ight 😂 and Drake did get lined up 🤣
😂 right
BBLDrizzy had it coming
0:47 “WHAT?” 😂😂😂😂
I always love Scru and his reactions. 😂 He get hyped for the bars... I can’t blame him, my reaction was similar.
Always doing great reactions even if it’s old stuff.
I wish I could meet you bro. Music conversations would be crazy
Imagine if Kendrick performs his control verse at the superbowl!!!
"I'm impo'tnt like the Pope, I'm a Muslim on Po'k/
I'm Makavelli's offspring, I'm the King of New O'lns"
it would be a perfect opening song lol
Thank you Big Sean!!!
Pdiddy the diddler got me weak 😂
Kendrick is the goat lyricist of this generation of rappers. J Cole is a not too distant second.
The foreshadowing here is wildly accurate 🤭🤭🤭
The crazy shit is: all them callouts was supposed to be a *_COMPLIMENT!_*
Whoever wasn't mentioned was basically told by K Dot "You aren't good enough for me to mention ya'll, That's the real diss.
Sean should blame himself for putting Kendrick on a song with that beat called “Control” 😂😭
WOAH SCRU YOURE FINALLY REACTING TO THIS🔥🔥🔥
Joell Ortiz responded with his own control verse and it was also 🔥
Your reactions make the songs more enjoyable! Keep doing your thing!!!
RIP DRAKE. Here after the slaughter.
😂😂 I'm here for the funeral too ⚰

Here after trying to sue
Yo!!! Scru never gets out of his chair. You know it's 🔥
