The Kendrick Lamar saga continues on to the weekend. So far, we've heard responses from a whole slew of emcees, including Astro, JR Writer, Cassidy, Papoose, Fred The Godson, Joell Ortiz and even Knicks swingman Iman Shumpert. I figured Jumpoff Joey wouldn't go long without putting his two cents in, and here we have it.
I can hear the fire in Joey's bars, I like it. It seems like Kendrick got the response he wanted, so far everyone seems to be raising the bar. It took Hov's The Takeover to wake up the sleeping lyrical giant in Nasir back in 2001, and now Kendrick's verse on Control has not only brought out the beast in some of New York's finest, but it seems to have evolved the qualifications needed for one to be able to put "lyricist" on their resume.
Just listen to Budden's response, this is clearly Mood Music Budden, not Love & Hip-Hop Budden. You're welcome.
