Kendrick Lamar calls himself the king of NewYork, Rappers react big time (download)

Kendrick Lamar continues to leave his mark on hip-hop history.
The Compton born rapper set Twitter ablaze Monday night  after hip-hop heads around the web caught wind of his battle rhyme for the ages on “Control,” a seven minute song also featuring Big Sean and Jay Electronica.  Did a west coast rapper really call himself King of New York?   Did a rap rookie really put himself on the same scale as Jay-Z and Nas? And did he really call his hip-hop peers out by name and vow to annihilate their careers?
Spitting out some of the most braggadocious lines in recent rap history, Lamar (crowned by MTV as the “Hottest MC in the Game” in 2012) is now said to have the best verse of 2013.
Many have reduced Lamar’s verse to a diss track that has compelled countless rappers to respond via Twitter. But others, myself included, are intrigued by how awe-inspiring Lamar seems to be to rap veterans, his contemporaries and hip-hop heads. This verse is a mere extension of him constantly pushing the envelope and operating outside the box.
In his verse , Lamar not only dissed fellow rappers like Drake, Wale, J. Cole and A$AP Rocky, he also declared himself the king of New York. Kendrick spits:

I'm in a destruction mode if the gold exists.
I'm important like the pope, I'm a muslim on pork
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
The juggernaut's all in your jugular, you take me for jokes
Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces
Cartier bracelets for my women friends I'm in Vegas
Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be?
If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me
I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable. Fuck y'all clubs, fuck y'all pictures
Your Instagram can gobble these nuts

Kendrick also called out a few rappers...see the verse below..

I heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time
Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all
New niggas just new niggas, don't get involved
And I ain't rockin no more designer shit
White T’s and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous
I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' wit
But this is hip hop and them niggas should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
What is competition? I'm tryna raise the bar high
Who tryna jump and get it? You better off tryna skydive

Lol. How cocky. See the rappers reaction below...
