With a new album coming out, Big Sean decided to let loose of this track with Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica. The internet gobbled it up, looking way past Jay’s verse and even Big Sean’s to discuss Kendrick Lamar’s controversial lists and claim that he’s the “king of New York.” Of course, Funkmaster Flex dropped bombs all over this, but it doesn’t take away from the solid, 7-minute, 3-way cipher that embodies everything that is right with modern-day hip hop.
I heard the barbershops spittin’ great debates all the tAnnotateime Bout who’s the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y’all New niggas just new niggas, don’t get involved And I ain’t rockin no more designer shit White T’s and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous I’m usually homeboys with the same niggas I’m rhymin’ wit But this is hip hop and them niggas should know what time it is And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake Big Sean, Jay Electron’, Tyler, Mac Miller I got love for you all but I’m tryna murder you niggas Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas What is competition?
