Did Kendrick Lamar Save Hip Hop?


Monday night Kendrick Lamar took Hip Hop off life support with one verse on Big Sean's new single Control...

The entire Hip Hop community is buzzing after Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar dubbed himself the King of New York and pledged to murder his Hip Hop peers calling them out by name.

In the verse Kendrick spits
Im usually homeboys with the same niggas im rhymin wit/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 nigga / Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas / They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from u niggas
Expect a bunch of responses, especially from people who weren't named on the track.
