Was "Control" a response to "5 Am in Toronto"?

[Malik]

I'm listening to this sh*t right now and it just dawned on me

Drake was throwing his weight around hard on "5 AM"



"You underestimated greatly, the most number #1, how long did it really take me?"
"Part I love most, they need more than they hate me. So they never take shots i got everybody on safety"
"Give nikkas the look, the verse even the hook, that's why every song sound like Drake featuring Drake"
"A couple albums dropped, those are still on the shelf. Bet them albums would've popped if I was willing to help"
"I'm only nikka really known for the music"



I could see Kendrick hearing this sh*t like "okay"

Drakes toronto song is probably better than any song this year. Lots of truism. He didn't really lie and kicked some smooth ish.

I don't think it was a direct response, but I'm sure it was songs like this that kinda made Kendrick say what he did....

I mean you got all these rappers claiming they the best out, and always talking about "other rappers" but never saying any names

I think Kendrick was just like fukk it, I'm saying I'm the best rapper in the game period, and just so there is no confusion I'm gonna to name the cats I'm speaking to when I say this...

Drake has consistently been throwing subs at other rappers especially lately... On both Versace & All Me he claims "He heard your new shyt, hated it" and "We don't fukk with your new shyt" but yet He won't say who he is talking about.... I would have said Ye but he brought him out at the OVO fest, maybe J. Cole but we got pics of him buying up all of Cole's CDs with him in Best Buy...

So who the hell is he talking about?

Kendrick left no speculation, and made his point very direct

5 AM is the shyt to be honest

No it wasn't.

Not the first time Kendrick has made a song about killing rappers and taking their fans.

Two days before GKMC dropped

The younger rappers had wanted some of the OGs' comfort
But I ain't need it
I never screamed out the 'New West', I didn't believe it
They brought each other down,I was planning out my achievements
I need to separate myself to stand out
I need a better way to take your fans now
I need to kill you motherfukkers dead
Three hollow tips aimed at your head
I'll be damned if the chopper jam now

Not the first time he mentioned people by name either.

I’m the best rapper alive!
I’m the best rapper alive!
I’m the best rapper alive!
Jigga man should’ve retired
I’m going after Kanye, Lupe Fiasco and Nas
Snoop Dogg and mister Andre, Eminem, Busta Buss Rhymes
Y'all better bust no more rhymes
I’ma start busting your ass
If you walk with a metro, then throw a bus on your ass!
Ya’ll be no action, no pass
We gon’ start busting on nikkas
Choppers be bustin’ on nikkas?
Chopper be bustin’ on nikkas!
fukk you and fukk you fukk nikkas
