Cassidy took a storied battle career and was primed to be one of rap's promising hit makers — his first single featured R. Kelly — but this Philly spitter's most famous days are behind him.
Still, he goes on for six minutes doing what he does best, delivering bars. Interestingly enough, he praises Kendrick for the inspiration and takes aim at other rappers like Meek Mill. Los, "Control Freestyle ". With his dizzying display of rhymes on this one it, makes us wonder when Diddy is going to give this Bad Boy a release date. The Mad Rapper, "Control Freestyle ".
Dot resumed his Mad Rapper role and comically runs down all the Kendrick-related freestyles. Rather than hate on Lamar, he sets his sights on all those other mad rappers. The execution could've been better, but props to the multiplatinum producer for taking a clever approach. Grafh, "Control I'll Body You ". Grafh wasn't even mad at Dot, he just used this opportunity to prove what rap fans already knew: he can rap — very well! Fred the Godson, "Say My Name".
Here he takes a swipe at our "Hottest MCs" list and its current crown holder and while there are some funny one-liners, this one won't do much to elevate Fred. Mickey Factz, "South Park". Mickey Factz has been flying under the radar since he filmed a commercial with Honda and then signed a deal with Jive Records in Yes, he's been quietly releasing mixtapes, but his "South Park" marked a return of sorts.
The Bronx lyricist takes exception that Kendrick didn't name him in "Control," but Mick's efforts would've been best used making a real comeback to songs that put him on the map like "Incredible" and "Rockin N Rollin.
Mysonne, "Uncontrollable". Mys was being groomed to be New York's next big thing when the late Chris Lighty gave the Bronx spitter some memorable looks on 's Violator: The Album. Unfortunately, an ill-timed jail bid postponed his rise. NYC native Grafh made an appearance out of nowhere to get at Kendrick. The title pretty much says it all. While plenty of people were getting emotional on Twitter, Joell Ortiz was the first to step up and really get back at Kendrick for his claim that he's the 'king of New York' on the new freestyle "Outta Control.
Lupe used his private Twitter account to share his immediate thoughts about Kendrick's verse when "Control" initially dropped, but then he let the rest out on "SLR 2," one of two tracks that he dropped in a hour span.
He definitely took issue with Kendrick comparing himself to Hov and Nasir. Beg ya pardon? Cass floats all over the beat by holding nothing back. He certainly proves his case here. While he officially reps Baltimore, the heat Los brings to the table is impressive, even going into detail about why each rapper was named with clever wordplay.
Props to Bobby for the originality. Papoose "Control Freestyle " Rating: XL Occasionally funny and occasionally bizarre—not sure about the R2D2 reference—Papoose's response is personal and brutal in the way fans expect these tracks to be.
Though it's not a total knock-out, it's fun to see someone take a swing. Instead of going in on Kendrick, he goes in on the people who dared to respond, cracking jokes about Lupe, Joell Ortiz and more. For a short moment, Ortiz was a trending topic on Twitter, and gained a huge amount of respect for stepping up and lyrically putting on for the East Coast.
Was it KONY material? Probably not. But dude kept our ears perked up. Skip to main content. JR Writer "Control Yourself".
