(AllHipHop News) By now, everyone living above rocks has heard Kendrick Lamar’s murderous verse on Big Sean’s “Control” where he effectively tells the Hip Hop game they are beneath him.
Though Kendrick only named ten rappers, a bevvy of others chimed in. Some took it well and others not so much.
These are the emotional and psychological effects Kendrick Lamar’s “Control” verse had on Hip Hop in 18 hours.
It gave Fabolous a sudden urge to find a recording studio:
Any studios open yet?

…and apparently gave him amnesia of previous 24 hour recording studios he has recorded at:
OH! & Tell your favorite NY rapper @PlatinumSoundNY is open 24hrs. — ℳعℓ O. (@Bombshell_Mel) August 13, 2013
It opened up Tyga’s eyes that were once admittedly blinded by the allure of money and rededicated the young MC:
Hours later this career changing epiphany was deleted but the determination seem to not have faded away:
Can’t sleep.up Listening to beats……… — T-Raww (@Tyga) August 13, 2013
Mac Miller heeded Kendrick’s threat and began forgetting all nouns and verbs and began planning an adjective-only rap career:
If I can’t do no more nouns or verbs ima start comin with the wildest adjective bars that anyone has ever heard. — Mac. (@MacMiller) August 13, 2013
Meek Mill accepted the challenge (without his usual exclamation marks):
Lets have fun…. But lets really see where all these guys are really at #onlythestrongsurvive

First, Paul Cain took claim of Los Angeles:
@kendricklamar I’m The King Of LA Till One Of Y’all Prove Me Wrong! Better Read Some More Books & Write Some More Verse Young’n! #BKNYNigga — P.CAIN…STUDDA GANG (@PaulCainSF) August 13, 2013
Then named the songs that will be in response to Kendrick:
Matter Of Fact “So U Wanna Be King” Will Be Followed By “N#### Wit Attitude” P###. by @youngHYPElife — P.CAIN…STUDDA GANG (@PaulCainSF) August 13, 2013
Then interestingly enough claimed he stopped rapping years ago:
@S_CLASS101 Absolutely Not! I Stopped Rapping Years Ago Bcuz NY N##### Wasn’t Making NY Music Anymore! #RightOrWrong
— P.CAIN…STUDDA GANG (@PaulCainSF) August 13, 2013
After bouts of arrogance, Lupe Fiasco began assuming the personality of a few of the MC’s Kendrick Lamar mentioned:
Then tweeted himself in a circle:
Then an OG came down to speak to the youngin’s:
ATTENTION M.C.’S: Complaining about @kendricklamar verse on twitter is Gossip. Getting in the studio trying to write a better one is Hip Hop
— Big Daddy Kane (@bigdaddykane) August 13, 2013
In the end, Kendrick Lamar’s force of nature verse on Big Sean’s “Control” caused personality disorders, loss of memory of local recording studios, hurt prides and so much more.
However, over 15 hours later and it hasn’t caused one response song.
