    its silly how everytime i google anything about kendrick..i get hits related to control

    why is control consider earth shattering? its a great verse but jesus christ its not like the guy killed all these 8 rappers

    i mean i get that the idea behind the verse is great...but i dunno i feel its a tad overrated ?

    The name dropping was the least impressive part but obviously the most talked about part. Kendrick had so many great arrogant lines for his claim to the top. But I guess you can call it overrated but it doesn't really have a great subject matter compared to other Kendrick songs.

    Yeah it's overrated. Jay Electronica have the best verse, people forget about that.
    They talk about it just because Kendrick dropped those names, that's it

    The verse was immediately overhyped because of the names he used. It's a great verse, but the fact that it was so overhyped when it came out has maybe made it a little overrated.

    It's a good verse but it was overhyped when it first came out because of the way he called others out.

    It was an opportune verse. He dropped those names, took the risk and it blew the lid of the Hip-Hop verse. Of course it's overrated. It's good but overrated

    Maybe Meek and Drake would still be sending each other emoji collages if it wasn't for the control verse. :useyourhead:
