Drake Throws Slight Jab At Kendrick Lamar

A couple of weeks ago, Kendrick Lamar had the whole world (well, the hip hop world) in a frenzy, when he went at his peers on Big Sean's Control song. A couple of his contemporaries that he said he wanted to lyrically murder were his homies, and they didn't take the diss too seriously. But, from all indications, it seems Drake is not too cool with Kendrick's move.


During a recent interview with Elliot Wilson (CRWN), he was asked about the verse, and he responded with...

“That ['Control'] verse was a moment to talk about. Are you listening to it now, though?,” he asked, hushing all 850 attendees at NYU’s Skirball Center, including Wilson. Drake continued: “He didn’t come in there on some wild, ‘I’m in New York, fuck everybody.’ I almost wish he had come in there on that shit because I kind of lost a little bit of respect for the sentiment of the verse,” Drake said. “If it’s really ‘fuck everybody’ then it needs to be ‘fuck everybody’. It can’t just be halfway.” (missinfo.tv)



Hmm! He made a point right there...are people listening to the song right now? Just like 5 weeks, and people have totally forgotten the song. So, really, what was Drake trying to say with his words above? I know he was trying to be a bit diplomatic, and not send negative waves out there, but he made his point clear...he didn't feel the move all the way. I think I was cool with the whole competitiveness he was trying to bring in with the verse, but I never liked that King Of New York line...that line is not showing skill, that is just pure disrespect, cos you don't become a king of a place you are not representing...even if you have been able to sell a lot of records in that place.
