AUDIO: Papoose – Control | Kendrick Lamar Diss Response

papoose

New York artist Papoose drops a Kendrick Lamar “Control” response and is clearly willing and ready to soak of every bit of spotlight he can take from Hip Hop’s current hot topic.  After taking Kendrick Lamar’s “King of New York” line to heart, the Brooklyn MC takes the initiative to go to bat for his city and apparently defend its honor.  Interestingly enough, Kendrick Lamar and TDE recently showed Pap some love while out in New York for Summer Jam.  In fact, Lamar shortened his own set to allow Papoose the opportunity to steal the last few minutes and perform his new single.  However, that doesn’t seem to be playing any sort of factor as Pap has set his sights on the West Coast artist in the hopes of declaring lyrical warfare.

CTE’s latest addition to the squad, West Coast rapper YG, drops a new trailer for “My Nigga” which is featured on the recent in-house compilation Boss Yo Life Up Gang mixtape.  The short clip flashes images of YG getting picked up by the police, being questioned, thrown behind bars, riding around in a lowrider and having drinks with the homies and smoking loud.  From the looks of things, there may be some sort of cinematic concept behind this one with its underlining message revolving around friendship.  Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Juicy J keeps the visuals coming with “Yet” as the release date for his new Stay Trippy LP approaches its release date of August 27.  The Taylor Gang artist goes in over an ominous sounding instrumental packed with hard-hitting bass and keeps the visual simple with the rapper rocking a hooded sweatshirt in front of a few television screens with no signal.

VIDEO: Meek Mill – Levels (Prod. By Cardo)

This didn’t come out probably the way everyone thought and anticipated it would.  Meek Mill finally drops his Hype Williams directed visual for “Levels.”  The music video comes off as one long 4 minute trailer as images of familiar products from brands like Ciroc, Rolls Royce, Rose champagne and Beats By Dre flash across the screen with the occasional gorgeous model in between.  In fact, MMG rapper Meek Mill hardly even makes an appearance in the music video for his own hit song.

Cassidy jacks the instrumental to Kendrick Lamar’s “Control” and decides to try his hand at an standout response.  The Philly native has always been synonymous with lyrical wordplay so you better believe Cas is dropping a few gems here and there.  As the “Control” responses continue to flood in well try and keep you up-to-date with the one’s actually worth your time.  Let’s just say the flood gates have been opened and every artist I’m sure is looking to capitalize on an extra 15 minutes.
