Kendrick Lamar participated last weekend in the BET Awards’ annual cypher sessions along with the rest of TDE and footage has now surfaced of the Compton emcee throwing what appear to be subliminal jabs in the direction of YMCMB rapper Drake. Courtesy of the short clip provided by AllHopHop, K-Dot can be seen dropping a few bars which include, “And nothing been the same since they dropped Control, and tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes.” Needless to say, all signs appear to be pointed in Drake’s direction, however, it hasn’t been officially confirmed by Kendrick or any of his people if that is truly the case.

AUDIO: Big Sean – Control Feat. Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica
Big Sean sent the internet into a frenzy after debuting a new track titled “Control” featuring Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica. Though every MC delivered their respective verse, Lamar definitely stole the show after crowning himself the king of New York and aiming his sights on several big name artists such as J. Cole, Drake, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky and more. At one point in the song the Compton native raps, “I’m usually homeboys with the same n*ggas I’m rhyming with/But this is Hip Hop and them n*ggas should know what time it is.” Though Lamar’s lyrics only appear to be competitively driven, don’t be surprised if one of the rappers referenced in the lyrical assault capitalizes on the opportunity to go bar for bar with the Hip Hop star.

Big Sean also provided some insight behind the song when he clarified that due to sample clearing issues, “Control” was unable to make the final track list on Hall Of Fame and subsequently was leaked for our listening pleasure.
