    J. Cole Addresses Kendrick Lamar’s “Control” Verse On “T.K.O.” Remix

    J. Cole has addressed Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Big Sean’s “Control” with a verse on Justin Timberlake’s “T.K.O. (Black Friday Remix,” a selection that also features Pusha T and A$AP Rocky. 

    Cole’s verse centers around a woman that plays “Control” on her cellular phone. Upon hearing the track, J. Cole responds.

    “Cole to the rescue, never save a ho,” Cole raps on the track. “Hoes like to hide their behavior though / Thought you was a down-ass bitch / ‘Til I found that shit a couple days ago / I was home alone, next thing I know / That long ass verse from a song called ‘Control’ was on / The room got nearer, the tune got clearer / That’s when I seen the shit playin’ on your phone / Girl, what is that, ringtone? / Shit, not you too / Man that hype done got you too / Everybody and their momma gassed / Even my momma asked what I’mma do / Decisions, decisions / In case this is war, then I load up on all ammunition / If a nigga want problems, my trigger’s on auto / I’ll make sure that nobody miss him / Now pack up your shit, you don’t believe in me / I don’t need you, I got me, bitch / Same nigga moved to N.Y.C., bitch / Got a record deal and a college degree, bitch / Two gold plaques, I produced all the tracks / And I never-ever-ever lean on Jay Z, bitch / And after all that achievement / Real nigga never even went and got his teeth fixed / Now you try to play me, bitch / You try to fuckin’ play me / I ought to knock your ass out.” 

    J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar have reportedly started working on an album together. In March, Cole spoke with MTV about their collaborative work and how competitive it is to rap beside one another.

    “It’s mad competitive,” Cole said. “It has to be, because we both love it. We’re not gonna speak about it, it’s not gonna be like, ‘Yo man I killed you.’ It’s pride. You have pride in your craft and what you do, but to a certain extent. It’s not about who’s better verse, it’s about the song. But if it’s just for flexin’. You definitely wanna show out.”

    In May, Cole confirmed that the album was being worked on and that the duo had a handful of songs completed. 

    In June, Cole and Lamar appeared together on “Forbidden Fruit,” a cut off Cole’s Born Sinner album. 

    In August, Lamar spoke about Cole during his “Control” verse on Big Sean’s selection.

    “I’m usually homeboys with the same niggas I’m rhymin’ with,” Kendrick Lamar raps on the song. “But this is Hip Hop and them niggas should know what time it is / That goes for Jermaine Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale / Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake / Big Sean, Jay Electron[ica], Tyler[, the Creator], Mac Miller / I got love for you all, but I’m tryin’ to murder you niggas / Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas / [and that] they don’t want to hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas / What is competition? I’m trying to raise the bar high.” 

    In September, Cole responded to the selection in an interview.

    “That’s Rap,” Cole said in an interview with Noisey. “That’s Rap music. That’s a part of the game. It’s natural. It’s fine.”

      – Killed a man who tried to rob him. Ask Young Jeezy.
      – Exposed Young Jeezy as a fraud.
      – Beats up so called fans.
      – Throws bitches out of his car while driving.

      These are facts! Fuck the studiogangstas: Rick Ross, Mobb Deep, Nas, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, 2Pac, Big L, GAYrick Lamar etc.

      7. Jeezy got more street cred in ATL than Gucci, believe that my nig. Gucci is a crazy nigga who has too many enemies all up and down the East coast. Anyone who actually knows these niggas and the situation can tell you Gucci can’t go nowhere in these streets without bodyguards whereas Jeezy gets nuff respect, seen?

      2. I am not a fan of Timberlake but you are only proving to everyone that you are a kid who cannot get into clubs because JT is all over that shit and trust me, it ain’t just soccer moms screaming and grinding all over the place. You don;t have to like the guy but being envious of him only hurts yourself, bruh.

      1. Yes because REAL musicians only fuck with one type of music and never mess with a well established artist and broaden their creative horizons. You fucking moronic 12 year old cunt.

      He was basically saying those are the ones he see’s as his competition; and that he was going to remain competitive with them for the top spot. If anything he dissed every other rapper he didn’t mention.

    18. You guys gotta understand that J Coal is “the one” because he just dropped his debut album Born Sinner and all these other new guys are 2-3 albums in and don’t have the impact that J Coal is having. Sure, Kendrick is making impact but he has 2 albums out (Control System, GMKC) so just wait until J Coal drops his sophomore album before criticizing him. I’m only 16 and I know it’s Coal World, bitches. Now that’s how you Either Kendrick Lamar.

    21. Control is still a topic on this site? Lol this site is fuckin dead. 90% of the stories published on here are garbage.. maybe its a reflection of how Hip Hop is DEAD. Fuckin new school sucks.

    29. As an accountant for YMCMB, I can personally confirm that TDE simply can’t afford to go to war with YMCMB. Anthony Tiffith will not pay for Kendrick’s studio time if the songs recorded will be deemed offensive by YMCMB. Wayne, Drake or Nicki could body Kendrick’s career very quickly, and then TDE will be bankrupt. Meanwhile, here at YMCMB, we give artists full control over their albums and we give them all of the funds necessary for them to exercise such control. That’s why it’s taking a long time for Cory Gunz, Jae Millz, Gutta Gutta, Lil Chickee, Lil Twist and Mack Maine to put out albums.They are taking their time to make a classic. Not everyone is as talented as Drake and Wayne to be able to put out a classic every year. Some artists need time.

    31. If we’re going to talk literal, and take this as seriously as they want us to.. I will pray for Kendrick’s safety, and J.Cole’s quick demise.

    39. I like the fact that K. Dot got all the singing ass rappers acting on emotions instead putting skills to use, sensitive ass rappers SMMFH. Hip-Hop has one foot in the graveyard. All these rappers are scared to put that career on the line. I see somebody talking about that homo label but you know what people support bullshit and this how wack rapper get rich. The Hip-Hop culture is losing its integrity real fast & 95% of New Schooler have dept in music somebody gives them a mic and it DRUGS, RAPING, MATERIAL THINGS. THE HIP-HOP GAME IS LACKING INTEGRITY PERIOD.

    42. Did J.Cole get really emotional? Awww, here’s some tissue dude. I’m a fan but that was weak bro. Kendrick sounded like the overconfident bully and you just came back with I should knock your ass out bitch…don’t make me laugh

      2. Doesn’t sound like he’s getting emotional you idiot. He’s responding to everyone blowing he song out of proportion. If he was getting emotional I doubt they would be working on an album together.

      Late Registration:
      Best- Gone (GOAT kanye verse here at the end)
      Worst- Celebration (I like it, but Kanyes flow here is a bit lame)

      Graduation:
      Best- Homecoming (a Chicago classic)
      Worst- Drunk & Hot Girls (the lyrical content here is too immature for Kanye tbr)

      808s & Heartbreak:
      Best- Amazing (one of the only tracks on this record i could listen, sorry i really didnt feel this album)
      Worst- Heartless (Staight corn. Kanyes singing here just doesnt do it for me

      MBDTF:
      Best- Runaway (debtable GOAT kanye track, backed by an excellent delivery from Pusha T
      Worst- Hell of a Life (the beats a bit corny by MBDTF standards, nonethless a great song)

      Yeezus:
      Best- Bound 2 (a beautiful album-closer, nice contrast to the other songs)
      Worst- Hold my Liquor (Chief Keef? C’mon son. That autotune didnt really help either, mildly epic tracks though)

      What do you think is the best & worst song off each of Kanye album?

      Reply

      1. Bound 2 has the absolute worst sample of all time. That “uh huh honey” shit had me flipping the song off. I could barely watch the franco and rogen parody I hate that song so much.

        Worst – Barry Bonds (only just beat out Drunk and Hot Girls for me)

        808s and Heartbreak:

        MBTDF:
        Best – Power (my favourite Kanye song)
        Worst – So Appalled (hard to pick for me, every verse by the featured artists (including Jay) are shit)
