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.

After being outspoken and reassuring listeners that he would always have love for Dame, it almost felt like the former business associates were on the brink of squashing past issues. The moment finally came to pass as the two embraced one another and took some photos to document the special occasion. The second photo below comes to you courtesy of Shaheem Reid.
