After an overflow of lyrical responses to "King Kendrick Lamar Of New York," the title he pro-claimed in his verse in Big Sean's "Control," rapper Raekwon and producer Harry Fraud join in on what they coin as "fun."

Raekwon suggested that if the "Poetic Justice" rapper thinks he is king of the Big Apple then he, being a veteran in the game, must be on a higher level all together.

"If he could wear the crown, imagine how my crown is looking," said Raekwon in an interview with Its Bizkit. "It's on some King Arthur sh*t. My sh*t is in mausoleums in different countries under water. If he the "King Of New York," what the f*ck am I?"

Although he was gassing himself up, Raekwon believes there is a rapper that deserves the "King Of New York" declaration.

"All I'm going to say is that he [Kendrick] knows he ain't the "King Of New York," said "Ghetto Boy" rapper. "'The King Of New York' to me is in the ground and that's B.I.G.. That's the n*gga that came from the bottom and really earned that position."

Despite Raekwon believing that Lamar will "never wear that crown," he has taken a liking to the Compton MC.

"I love his energy, when you go at that mic it's like shooting somebody. You might be aiming at that n*gga but whoever is in back of him or on the side of him might get shot," explained the Wu-Tang Clan member. "It's like when I come in the studio and I know I'm trying to murder the track instantly. That is my intentions. Nothing is in front of me. He could've felt like that or he could've been throwing darts."

Overall, Raekwon The Chef thinks Lamar's "Control" verse was all in the name of having a good time.

"He was just rhyming and having fun, he was just expressing himself," said aka "Lou Diamonds." "It was a good strategy. Let hip-hop be hip-hop If that's what he said that's what he said, but just know the truth. The king is B.I.G.."

Producer Harry Fraud also thought Lamar's verse was witty and acknowledged him for stepping out of the box.

"I thought Kendrick killed the verse. I didn't take it as offensive as other people took it," said the 26-year-old beat maker while holding a joint. "Because this is rap. Your suppose to have fun. It got away from that. Everybody is so safe."

The "Shot Caller" producer said everyone in the industry should be aiming to reach the top.

"I'm trying to be the best producer, he [Raekwon] trying to be the best rapper," said Fraud. "We are all trying to be the best, if your not trying to be the best then don't do it."

In the end , Raekwon summed up Lamar's name dropping in "Control" as child's play.

"It's young boy sh*t," he said. "Young boys having fun."
