Control, Big Sean (feat. Kendrick Lamar, and Jay Electronica)

What’s not to like about seven-and-a-half minutes of a fantastic beat and some amazing lyricism?

There’s something about this track. Whether it’s the revolutionary sounding chant heard throughout, or just the simply hilarious “I DON’T SMOKE CRACK MF I SELL IT!” to kick off K-Dot’s verse.

Honestly, he walks both other guys on this track. He calls out both Big Sean, who’s track he’s featured on AND Jay Electronica, the other feature on the song. It’s one of the best “I’m the King of the Mountain, recognize” collection of lines I’ve ever heard. Both the microphone and gauntlet are dropped.

I heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time
Bout who’s the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y’all
New n****s just new n****s, 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 n****s I’m rhymin’ wit
But this is hip hop and them n****s 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 n****s
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you n****s
They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you n****s

All in all, I think it’s a 10/10 song. Would listen to daily.

Hope you enjoy! Be good, do good.
