Kendrick Lamar Cypher Lyrics at BET Awards: 'Nothing's Been The Same Since They Dropped 'Control'' [VIDEO]
Kendrick Lamar disses Drake during his appearance on Top Dawg Entertainment's cypher at the 2013 BET Awards. The Compton California rapper goes hard in his cypher verse,
"Nothing's been the same since they dropped 'Control' / And tucked the sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes." He continues, "Ha-ha, jokes on you / High-five, I'm bullet proof / Your sh-ts will never penetrate / Pin the tail on the donkey, boy, you've been a fake."
Although Kendrick does not mention who he's targeting unlike his "Control" verse, his dissing line of "Nothing's been the same" hints that it's stemming from Drake's recently released third studio album title, "Nothing Was The Same." Lamar makes it very obvious that he's still aiming at "the sensitive rapper," Drake.
The infamous hip-hop feud between the two rappers broke out when Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex debuted Big Sean's non-album cut "Control," on which Kendrick Lamar personally calls out a handful of the biggest names in present day hip-hop, such as J.Cole, Wale, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Big Sean, Tyler the Creator, Mac Miller, and Drake. He says he would lyrically "murder" them, and make sure their "core fans never heard" of them.
On Drake's lyrical response, "Language" from "NWTS," the Young Money rapper rhymes, "I don't know who you're referring to, who is this n---- you heard about? / Someone just talking that b---s---, man someone just gave you the run-around / N----s downplaying the money but that's what you do when the money down."
However, CEO of Cash Money Records Birdman, who also appears on the song, denies that Drake was dissing Kendrick Lamar on the track, "Drake do what he do. He really slick with whatever he do. He makes you think. But I didn't think he put no energy into that."
Kendrick Lamar's Drake-dissing cypher verse will air Tuesday, October 15 at 8pm EST.
