Then Fabolous addresses Kendrick Lamar’s “Control” verse.
“The thing about Kendrick saying he king, don’t ask me how I took it, nigga,” Fabolous says. “The real niggas know all the kings came from Brooklyn, nigga.”
On “Control,” Lamar referred to himself as a king of both coasts in Rap.

“I’m Makaveli’s offspring,” Lamar raps on the track, likely referring to Tupac’s 1996 release as Makaveli, The Don Killuminati (The 7 Day Theory). “I’m the King of New York, King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both.”
Lamar’s “King of New York” line was likely inspired by a 2010 selection, “Get Bizy,” which featured Kendrick Lamar, Terrace Martin, Bad Lucc and Kurupt.
“I’m important like the pope,” Kurupt raps on “Get Bizy.” “I’m the King of New York. I’m live from South Central. I’m a Muslim on pork.”

In August, Lamar spoke about the line during an interview with Los Angeles radio station Power 106.
“The irony of that line is that the people that actually understood it and got it was the actual kings of New York,” Kendrick Lamar says. “Me sitting down with them this past week, and them understanding that it’s not about actually being the King of whatever Coast. It’s about leaving a mark as great as Biggie, as great as Pac.”
