Joell Ortiz - Outta Control (Kendrick Response)



Hmm...

Big Sean - Control ft. Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica



So Apparently Hip-Hop was dying and Kendrick Lamar gave it much needed CPR. Everybody from Diddy to Missy are wetting their pants hailing Kendrick the savior and much needed prescription for Hip Hop. Claiming he was on a mission to murder Pusha T, Big Krit, Drake and Mac Miller (and more) Kendrick is declaring war or maybe he's creating an opportunity. In any case it made social media burst with commentaries eluding Kendrick's skills as creme de la creme and he is unstoppable, But, for some reason I'm not convinced are you?
