Kendrick Lamar "Control" Heats Up Other Rappers- But Big Sean's Cool With It, "Most Exciting Rap Song To Drop This Year" Responses Set Hip-Hop World On Fire

Kendrick Lamar's "Control" is heating up air waves...but Kendrick Lamar infuriated other hip-hop artists with "Control" (WATCH/ LISTEN BELOW). The Big Sean track is garenering a host of angry responses.

Lamar called out a slew of other artists with Big Sean's Control. His verse included the lyrics, "I'm usually homeboys with the same n----- I'm rhymin' with/But this is hip-hop and them n----- should know what time it is/And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big K.R.I.T., 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 n-----."

And other artists rapidly took him up on the challenge--both on Twitter and musically.

In SLR 2, Lupe Fiasco retorted, "N---- you ain't Nas, n---- you ain't Jay Z/You will respect me, you will reject me/But I've done so much, no matter how far you go, you will reflect me."

B.o.B.'s How 2 Rap both included an actual guitar solo and some choice digs- "I know that I'm shinin', I know that I'm shinin'/Don't worry, 'cause you can find shade in my shadow," he said, then wailed on the guitar after rapping, "Give me my guitar pick, I'll show you s---."

In Outta Control (Response to Kendrick Lamar), Brooklyn MC Joell Ortiz blasted Lamar, saying, "Homey, you ain't the king of New York, you're the next thing on my fork."

On Tuesday, ICE T tweeted: "I love how ONE verse woke Hip Hop the F--- up. It's been a LONG time since people talked about ANYTHING someone said in their rhyme." In later tweets, he added, "I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of replies and diss tracks. Don't trip. It's just Hip Hop. ... Hey, Hip Hop stripes are born in battle. Me and LL (Cool J) did our thing back in the day. It's part of the game."

Big Sean, though, wasn't peeved. He said,

"I started the song, I laid my verse first. I sent it to Kendrick and Jay Elec too. And then Kendrick sent that verse back... So when I heard it I was kind of like cracking up," Sean told Vibe.com on Tuesday night. "When I heard that verse I was like, 'Man I'm not about to go back and change my verse - that's cheating."

 He decided not to change his own version because, as he said, . "That ain't the way of an O.G. That ain't how G's move. I wanted to that for the culture of hip-hop as opposed to myself," he said. "This is the most exciting rap song to drop this year, period."
