The Day. Kendrick Lamar. CHANGED. Hip Hop. Forever.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Control’ verse, 6.5 Years Later

Dooms Day in wack rapper colonies has been remembered as August 14th, 2013, better known as the date in hip-hop history, that Kendrick Lamar dropped an atomic bravado bomb, on a song that wasn’t even his, no less. Lamar left nothing untouched during his epic verse on Big Sean’s “Control.” After the total seven and a half minutes of smoke cleared, it was almost forgotten that there were actually two other exceptional verses other than Kendrick’s on that thing, one from its host and a rare appearance from the nomadic, mystifying figure Jay Electronica.
