Shortly following the release of “Control,” Detroit rapper Big Sean expressed confidence in his verse on the much talked about song as he commented on his addition to “Control” being “harder” than verses from both Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica.
Nearly a month after the release of “Control” and Big Sean is continuing to stick with his words. During an interview with Cleveland radio station Z107.9, Big Sean again stated that he had no desire to change his verse after hearing Kendrick’s and referred to his bars as “excellent.”
The Hall Of Fame rapper also suggested that Kendrick’s “namedropping” is one addition that really set the Compton emcee’s verse off.
“I’m an ethical dude and I’m a confident person in my bars. So, I always feel like I have a good verse or a standout verse always,” Big Sean explained. “So, I sent him my verse first and then he sent his verse back. And I ain’t wanna change it up because I’m from a city of G’s where we keep it honest…You can always try and be selfish and try and one up somebody, but I was like ‘Nah, I did what I did to it.’ And I feel like Kendrick verse was real good, but I feel like that namedropping is what really set it off. Just the blatant fact of it. So, I feel like my bars were excellent on it.”
Big Sean spoke further on Kendrick’s “Control” verse as he recalled the moment he received the rapper’s verse back. And similar to Kendrick, Big Sean compared the competitiveness in the celebrated verse to the sport of basketball.
“I got his verse and I was like ‘Yo, this fool talking reckless on here.’ But then I was like, but it’s sports,” he revealed. “You know what I’m saying? We’ll talk trash about each other, but just like how basketball players will go score 30 on each other…And just like he [Kendrick] think he the best. And just like Jay Z think he the best. Just like I think I’m the best. And Drake think he the best. We all think we the best at what we do. If you don’t do it to be the best then or do it to inspire people then I don’t know what you doing it for.”
Big Sean’s “Control” garnered an immense amount of buzz thanks to the addition of a lyrically bold verse from Kendrick Lamar. On the song, Kendrick calls out his competition as reveals his desire to “murder” the likes of Mac Miller, A$AP Rocky, Pusha T, and a handful of other rappers.

Big Sean Lost
Says the kid living in his grandmother’s basement.
^^How would you know Stan?
no one is even gonna remember that it was a big sean song
I cosign what Sean is saying, you gotta have confidence in yourself
actually losing so much respect for him, not just because of his fucking boring ass album.
if you’re confident, quit talking about this shit. he’s searching constantly for what people want to hear, leave it you stupid ass.
for real, every week…
all this dude every talks about is how dope he is and don’t nobody see it….
or buys his shit
^^lmao real shit tho^^. On some real shit ..I’ve tried to listen to his stuff…And some of it’s cool…But he’s not nearly as dope as he thinks he is..He tries to make inspiring stuff tho..So I’m not mad at em
his album flopped :hah:
not compared to french montana, ace hood, tyga and rich gang
pretty damn close though
sold more than Chief Keef
yeah but that was keef’s 1st album & like 3rd ever project period.
no. it didn’t.
He failed by not pushing his album back and having the samples cleared for Control. That would’ve been dope on his album, but he failed. How are you going to leak a hard joint like that, and not even save it for at least a mixtape???
yeah but most people & radio stations skip right over his control verse. it’ basically kendrick’s.
72k bro…
another numbers dumbass. I swear, if dumbasses could count as well in math class like they do with record sales, we would have some smart kids.
yeahhh good one.
More than Juicy J, Tyga, French Montana, Ace Hood, Slaughterhouse, Asap Ferg, Rich Gang
^^^
all of which will be forgotten in 5 years.
just like big sean
There were about 3 or 4 good songs on his album, the rest wasn’t that good. Not surprised it flopped.
another dumbass vanilla ice went multi plat shouldnt he be top 10 tired of these sales bullshit.
sales DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE GOOD ITS A POPULARITY CONTEST
KRS ONE STILL DROPS TO THIS DAY
RAKIM DROPPED AN ALBUM NOT TOO LONG AGO
IM SURE LIL WAYNE SOLD MORE THAN THEM DOES THAT MEAN WAYNE IS BETTER THAN BOTH RAKIM OR KRS ONE
HOW BOUT 50 Cent OUTSOLD EVERYONE TO YOU WAYNE STANS:
50 > WAYNE based ON SALES
but 50 is better than wayne
another dumbass comment about it not being about numbers..its a business dumbass maybe if you knew more about it and numbers and how it brings in money for companies you would be one of the smart kids you talk about
Another dumbass comment about business. Are you an A&R? Do you own a label? Do you have a record deal? No, then what do the numbers have to do with you personally? Do you base your appreciation for an MC by his music or his popularity? Apparently, you are just a dick rider who only supports an artist after he sees enough other people like him, and there’s nothing Hip – Hop about that….

Yall heard that new Kendrick Lamar song “Control”??
kenny got murdered by cassidy and papoose. dude is azz. and sean is right.. the name dropping is what brought all the hype and d!ckriding.
Dumbass.
yet where are cassidy and papoose at this week? probably back to the corner not to be heard of for another 4 months
this guys is awfully insecure about his verse if he keeps talking about it a month later..
this fuckin guy is kidding, right? faggot
honestly all these rappers suck ,kendirck deserved to call them out and all this reaction is just bogus cause they intimidated and they know the wack ass.
On the one hand he says he thinks his was the best verse
but then he says that he didn’t change his verse because that’s not what Gs do. That’s basically saying “My verse wasn’t as good but I won’t change it because I’m a G.”
yep. contradicting himself.

Yeah, Big Sean sounds bitter. I know he is trying to hide it, but he sounds bitter. Sorry.
