The Game's "92 Bars" > Kendrick's "Control"

[Piffery]

Nah, it's p*ssy.

I find the whole shot taking/beef culture more "p*ssy" than what you're saying.
It's fun for me to look back on as a relic of the past, but it's kind of silly to pretend that insults on a song really effects a person's career or establishes someone as a boss in the same way that it would in years past.
It's no different than middle school conflict in my mind, manufactured too.
(And considering that rap is much less grassroots, interconnected in "the streets"/gangs/organized crime, not dependent on magazines/radio, and not dependent on regional sound, among other things, it wouldn't make sense for the things you're talking about to be as prominent today)

Craziest thing bout Control is Kendrick got universally fellated for restoring competition and battling nikkas in theory . ...then proceeded to duck and ignore everybody that actually called his bluff and engaged him. ..its comical now cause he proceeded to promptly get killed in back to back battles since , but meek was one of the dudes that was ready to jump head first into it with him. ..had Kendrick actually responded he probably would've won and had people calling him the GOAT battle rapper now

He continued to shyt on competition by dropping better music that was the whole point. It was never about battle rap in the first place really





"IM BULLETPROOF"

92 bars is the better overall song but Kendricks verse on control spawned so many responses it was hilarious to watch.

That hi five is one of the top 3 gayest moments in hip hop over the last decade, which is saying a lot in this current climate
