Read the replies before listening to the track.. Some really wack sh)t in there but there was some good lines.
Sounds like he was trying to ether him in every since of the word. When he was really supposed to respond with good music.
What people fail to realize is this...in rap/hip-hop...you can't dictate how a nicca should respond. You issue a direct challenge/"call-to-arms", to an entire city that is the Mecca of Hip-Hop, then this is what you get. Niccas ain't thinking about K's intent or how his challenge is "supposed" to be viewed, according to the *EDIT* "NEO-purists (tru skool purists know what time it is)" or "rap-hipsters"...
This is bloodsport. It's always been. In a sense, Pap reminded this nicca, like, "Dog, you just made yourself shark bait. You should know how it go if you're really a head!"
You can't rearrange the rules because you stan this nicca, K. Remember this rap/hip-hop emerged from the street. Any form of disrespect gets verbally destroyed.
The process of verbal destruction from some rappers who feel slighted by a prior verse might involve a series of subs for a sec...others go in and go for the neck early. Clearly Pap is the latter. No matter how misguided (from a non-rap perspective) or career jeopardizing it might seem.
