Meek Mill Say Kendrick Lamar Can “Run That Backpack, I’ma Run These Streets”

    Last year, Meek Mill and Kendrick Lamar both appeared on “Power Circle,” from Maybach Music Group’s Self Made Vol. 2 compilation. This week, Kendrick’s verse on Big Sean’s “Control (HOF)” mentioned Meek Mill in his controversial bars claiming reign over his Rap peers. K Dot rapped, “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.”

    Hours after the song leaked, Meek Mill appeared on Power 99, in his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvia. Host Mina SayWhat asked Meek’s thoughts on the verse. “He’s not comin’ at him in a disrespectful way, he’s comin’ at him in a competitive way,” said Meek, who compared it to sports. “It’s like if me and my homie playin’ basketball—I’ma tell you: I’ma dunk on you, I’ma spin off you, I’ma give you 30 points a night like Lebron [James]. I’m pretty sure [NBA players] hang around each other in the club and all that, but [still trash talk competitively].”

    Meek said that his battle with a gold-selling (nearly platinum) peer is quite different from the local battles he’s been involved with throughout his career. “People get it misunderstood. [On] Philly diss records, you don’t even know a person, [and you saying] you’re gonna blow they head off, shoot your mom with you see you. On some Rap stuff, you’re like, ‘Aight, bet. Put your vest on, ’cause doin’ some shots too, havin’ fun with it.’ That’s what Hip Hop about.”

    The former Grand Hustle Records artist did imply that he plans on responding to Kendrick. Unclear whether speaking to Kendrick’s Black Hippy quartet with Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul or just K-Dot, Mill stated, “I’ma tell y’all: y’all what y’all run; I run the streets.” To the Philly emcee, he’s the king of his own place in Hip Hop. “I’m in a lane by myself. I’m the only [one] that’s lyrically spittin’ some street music and gettin’ money. Kendrick [Lamar and Black Hippy], I’ma tell ’em in a rap: y’all can run that backpack, I’ma run these streets.” Backpack refers to a style of lyrical Hip Hop and sampling popular in the 1990s. Meek stressed that this competition is purely amicable. “We gonna have fun with it; get money. Hip Hop needed that.”

    (August 14)

    UPDATE: Hours after Meek Mill’s Power 99 interview comments circulated, Kendrick Lamar is believed to have had a laugh of his own. In a brief Vine video added to YouTube on August 15, Kendrick appears on a four-wheeler, a street-vehicle popular with Meek Mill since his early days as a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania street rapper.

    Kendrick pulls up, tells the camera “Meek Mills, huh?,” calling the rapper by a name he used on early mixtapes and late 2000s recordings. Then after yelling, Kendrick pulls away, and does donut spins with the quad.

    UPDATE #2: VladTV.com confirms the video was made a few months ago, and is not a direct response.

    1. Meek mill running this game right now. He went platinum 1st week and will sell even more with his second album. Great flow and so much better lyricalism than K Dot.

      1. You got it wrong. Meek ain’t running shit. His debut only sold 160k 1st week and sold more than 300k total. His next album will bomb hard. He has a wack flow; Kendrick is lyrically better than Meek’s yelling ass.

      2. Kendrick ain’t running shit. Meek mill is running this muthafucking game. Meek mill sold 1.6 million 1st week and more than 3 million total. His next album will do even better and Kendrick sounds like a girl when rapping. I went to one of his shows to see why Kendrick is known at all and I saw Kendrick making out with the 3 other members of black hippy.

    2. hahahaha…one meek mill aint running shit nor did he go plat first week…two I dont see how black hippy are backpack rappers with Q and Jay Rock of all people in the group…and third Meek just sounds lame and a lil scared

      1. 1. You got it backwards. Kendrick aint running shit and is not going platinum.

        2. Black Hippy is the definition and eptitome of pop music.

        3. You spelled Kendrick wrong. It’s not MEEK it’s KENDRICK.

      2. Hating on you? Hey whatever you and your mom do for a living is your business, no hate on my part fuck ass hahahaha!

    5. Cassidy already bodied this dude. Needs khaled number of features to sell his album. And he’s a bitch getting on stage with 50 when his label mate’s getting robbed by 50’s dudes.

    6. Meek is such a boring fuck-boy all he talks and raps bout is his money car n watch and no one respects u in the street 50 pushed ya man and u looked shook. Sigel a REAL philly nigga u a lame

    7. You aint running the streets because Gucci is running the streets. Go play cop and robber with your boss you fantasy nigga.

    8. “I’m the only [one] that’s lyrically spittin’ some street music and gettin’ money. ”

      yooooo he cant be serious with this shit

      cyserro just destroyed him last week too

      1. again with the money thats the only think meek and his fans can bring up.

        “Went from a humble broke nigga to a clown with money
        That’s what happens when you put never hads around some money”

      1. meek challenged him when he knew he was outta town on some be here in 3 hours type shit cause he knew it wasnt possible. no one respects meek for that shit

    9. HAHAHAHAHA.. NICCAH DA STREETS? LMAO U NOT BEANIE MAN.. U NO WHERE NEAR THE BROADSTREET BULLY IN PHILLY.. GILLIE DA KID GOT THAT CITY AND HE STREET.. WAY MORE STREET THAN U MY NIG..

      Chief Kief – Finally Rick : 50k first week

      Ace Hood – Trials & Tribulations : 37k first week

      Waka Flocka Flame – Triple F Life : 33k first week

      Meek Mill run this street you nigga starvin’.

      1. whats your point? ross flopped too compared to my niccas kendrick, j cole, young jeezy, jay hova and kanyeezy

      1. You didn’t get the memo, people aren’t talking about rapper’s finances anymore. People are getting smarter and are listening to the lyrics and after this joint there will be more conversations about who bodied who than who makes more than who.

      2. what debt? i guarantee kendricks album made 4 times as much as meeks did and i never see kendrick bragging about his whips or all the money he got like meek does event though kendrick got more

      3. Kendrick’s profits are taken by Dr Dre. He’s actually running out of money and turned to gay prostitution along with the other members of black hippy.

    11. LOVE THIS INTERVIEW! Meek took Kendrick Lamar exactly how it was presented, friendly competition. As a music lover I find this exciting.

    12. meek is delusional noone bumpin his cd right now shh was weak and his bars are not even the best from philly, all them state property nickas will eat him, he have the same damn flow and aint tlkin bout shhh…..lame nickas always bring up money, i heard more nerds bumpin his shh …the streets fugg w jeezy , yo gotti , jadakiss more then this goofy

      1. I don’t mean what I said… I can’t pay my rant an I got a eviction notice… and this nigga makin’ so much money… I’m mad you know…

      2. Cause you ain’t a real hustler. You should listen Ace hood’s Hustle Hard so you will be stimulated and you will stop hatin’ on niggaz makin’ money.

    13. These wack n*ggaz started dissing kendrick, how lame they are! Nobody give a f*ck what they said bcuz they are so wack that theu using this diss for their promotion Kendrick mentioned them or not.

    14. Delusional disorder is an uncommon psychiatric condition in which patients present with non-bizarre delusions, but with no accompanying prominent hallucinations, thought disorder, mood disorder, or significant flattening of affect.

      Somebody, anybody, please get Meek some help.

      1. Kenwack is more like a young bear cub untrained and raw afraid to scrap with the lions named Ross, Drake, Wayne and Rule.

      1. Ross isn’t a cop retard. He was a C/O back when he was 19 and nobody knew who he was. You act like you ran with him for all those years in between.

    15. no one cares about if you from the streets or how much money you got nigguh where the fucking bars

      you a rapper lets hear some rapping fuck all that yelling about your ghost and rolex

    16. Really!? cause that verse that Kendrick murdered Meek on seemed way more “street” then that lame shit he was talking. It’s funny how dude claims he has so much money but yet isn’t recouping the money spent on him from his own label. I use to like meek but your talk is bigger then your skills & your pockets bruh.

    17. Meek Millz ain’t running shit his album came out niggas bumped one song off that shit for a week and never played that shit again fuck outta here the streets is still waiting for meek to get at cassidy

    18. STFu meek millz, what you gon do? shout kendrick out of existence cos that’s the only thing you do on tracks. GTFO man

    19. MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE GIVING LIL JON DIRECTIONS

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE ON A MOUNTAIN TOP COMMUNICATING THROUGH ECHOS

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE GOT UP TO GET SOME NAPKINS AND NIGGAS ATE HIS LUNCH

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE SAW A SPIDER IN THE HOUSE BUT TOLD SOMEBODY ELSE TO KILL IT

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HIS CREDIT CARD GOT DENIED IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDZ

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE AT THE BUS STOP AND IT DROVE RIGHT PAST HIM

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HIS MAMA TOLD HIM TO PUT HIS FAVORITE CEREAL BACK CAUSE IT AINT ON SALE

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HIS FRIENDS CAME OVER AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE REFRIGERATOR

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE IN A GROUP CONVERSATION TRYNA HAVE HIS OPINION HEARD

      1. You deliver jokes like Steve Harvey wrote them then laughed because he’s the only one who laughs at Steve Harvey jokes.

      2. You tried your best attempt to copy the Drake jokes guy and you failed. This shit is lame and not funny. Stick to your day job.

      3. @meekmillraplike is blowing the fuck up on twitter yall dont sleep on it

        MEEK MILL RAP LIKE THEY GETTING 15 EXTENDED MINTUES OF RECESS

        MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE SELLING HOT DOGS AT A BASEBALL GAME

        MEEK MILL RAP LIKE SOMEBODY BLEW UP THE BATHROOM AND AIN’T EVEN SPRAY NO LYSOL

        MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE KEEP TELLING SOMEBODY TO CHEW WITH THEY MOUTH CLOSED

        MEEK MILL RAP LIKE THE TEACHER SAID HIS NAME WRONG ON THE FIRST DAY

        MEEK MILL RAP LIKE THE POWER WENT OUT WHILE HE WAS IN THE SHOWER

        MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HIS 5 DOLLAR FOOT LONG CAME OUT TO $8.34

      1. LOL again with the cash

        how much cash you think meek gonna have in 5 years whens hes completely washed up and getting all his cars and chains repo’ed

      2. everyone does not worship money like meek mill. at the end of the day, it’s al about skill. that is why kendrick lamar can comfortably call out anyone…

    20. tryig to understand black people talk is like trying to figure out what came first the chicken or the egg shit lol

      no wonder their treated the way they are RETARDS JUST SPEAK FUCKING ENGLISH

      1. A person who is born and raised in Europe would say the exact same thing about the English that white Americans speak. You guys butchered the language just like everyone else.

    21. this nigga wasnt looking or sounding to0 street last weekend when he was begging Godfather 50 not to smash on his lil disloyal homie for being a keyboard warrior!

      1. Begging? lol He was being civil because the last thing Meek needs is to get into a fight, get arrested and increase his legal problems.

    22. “i guarantee kendricks album made 4 times as much as meeks did”

      Meek has jumped on other people’s albums, and his exposure is 10x that of Kenwack who got his phony plaque even though we all know he didn’t physically sell 1 mill.

      1. And all of those other people’s album’s don’t sell shit and his exposure doesn’t help his record sales.

      2. damn quoteman you got a lot of hate in you

        everyone gets their platinum records before they sell a million

        doesnt change the fact that he will have sold a million by the end of this month!

        what “kenwack” was able to accomplish in 9 months Ross hasn’t been able to do in 9 years!

    23. “ross flopped too compared to my niccas kendrick, j cole, young jeezy, jay hova and kanyeezy”

      Ross’s resume shits all over Kenwack’s. Nobody’s bumpin this female sounding queen’s pussy songs, yet every club or bar you go someone is playing Ross and the crowds are loving it.

      1. “Nobody’s bumpin this female sounding queen’s pussy songs”

        You’re right. Nobody listens to Drake.

      2. “Nobody’s bumpin this female sounding queen’s pussy songs”

        So how did he sold 994k albums if nobody bumps his shit?

      3. i like ross too. but club/radio spins would’ve crowned Nelly the king in the early 2000’s. so what is your point?

      4. No one goes to the club to hear a sentimental or serious song. They go to have a good time. Ross gets played more in the club because of the lack of substance. Granted, I have heard good verses from Ross, his place is more in the clubs and such. Kendrick’s isn’t, except for swimming pools and the more pop type songs hes done.

    24. it pisses me off that black people admire people who say ignorant shit like this. he’s rich he can stop being in the streets, and probably DID stop, but he sets the example that bein in the streets is cool.

      1. Meek you a coward. If this what you do…really what you do in streets when called out??? he aint asking you to go to war all he want is Meeks next jam should be called “look the other way” on his new ‘dream dodgers’ mixtape. I wouldnt buy this foo cassette!

    25. only time meek was in the streets coming up was when his bum ass was sleeping on them corners..glad he got rich but he wasn’t putting in that work

      1. selling more than meek and lyrically on another level…u mad? and the backpack means its more sample based music and true to hip hop meek is a dumb ass..when i think of a backpacker its graffiti/dj shit not having lyrics

    26. MEEK MILL RAP LIKE THEY GETTING 15 EXTENDED MINTUES OF RECESS

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE SELLING HOT DOGS AT A BASEBALL GAME

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE SOMEBODY BLEW UP THE BATHROOM AND AIN’T EVEN SPRAY NO LYSOL

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HE KEEP TELLING SOMEBODY TO CHEW WITH THEY MOUTH CLOSED

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE THE TEACHER SAID HIS NAME WRONG ON THE FIRST DAY

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE THE POWER WENT OUT WHILE HE WAS IN THE SHOWER

      MEEK MILL RAP LIKE HIS 5 DOLLAR FOOT LONG CAME OUT TO $8.34

    27. SMH! More excuses! Lupe Bodied Him self and Joell Ortiz and King Los roasted Kendrick competitively! Stop tweeting and start rapping more!

      1. AMEN!!! I am huge K. Dot fan but I won’t lie he got killed by Ortiz, Lupe, and Cassidy. I’m not sure about Los though, but thanks to him anyway I have heard about Los and listent to more of his music.

    28. Way to exclude yourself from the battle royale Meek. He talking this bullshit because he knows he can’t keep up lyrically with Kendrick. So when he says “you can run that backpack” it’s all because he knows he can’t compete.

      1. Y’all are idiots. When you dealing with a street nigga what music you think he’s gonna play? I’m a Boss, Tupac Back and Levels or Money Trees, Swimming Pools and Sing about Me???

        That what he means.

    29. STOP COMPARING THEIR ALBUM SALES. KENDRICK HAD WAY TOO MORE HYPE THAN MEEK HAS EVER HAD. THE WHOLE WEST COAST WAS ON HIS DICK, HE STILL HAD SOME DR. DRE STUFF COMMENTING IN INTERVIEW, SWIMMING POOLS WAS HIS BIGGEST HIT, MEEK DID NOT HAVE ANY SONG WITHIN BILLBOARD TOP 50. SIMPLY ALL OF YOU SUCKERS SAYING THAT MEEK HAD MORE EXPOSURE THAN KENDRICK ARE LAME.

      AND BY THE WAY, I’M A FAN OF BOTH, I HATED KENDRICK BACK THEN, BUT HE GOT SOME GOOD INTERVIEWS AND OPINION WHICH CHANGED MY MIND. BUT THIS CONTROL SONG IS TOO MUCH OVERHYPED AND IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO MENTION THAT NAMES. MOST OF THEM HELPED KENDICK WITH BUILDING UP HIS HYPE.

      1. Listen to yourself. Who cares what Cassidy says? Battling him would be charity work to get his name back in the mix. No need to help him out like that.

      2. charity work? didnt cassidy assist with his music early in his career??? thought so…… it’s a typical copout…he dont want to compete.

    30. In Europe we we like reallllllll hiphop better so yeah, Kendrick Lamar from the STREETS of CPT. The real G-shit

      Maybe a few low iq 1 lil dick gram dealers listen to Lil wayne n Meek Mill ore ven Ja-Rule, shit is the same everywhere with the handicapped.

    31. “Run the Streets” SMH nigga you are a RAPPER. You don’t run any streets any more, you and Officer Ricky have security no doubt. You rhyme words to make a living, not selling coke or “street hustling” anymore. And dude can actually spit, what a BS excuse just say u don’t want to get embarrassed in a battle with Kendrick.

      1. he means run the streets as in run the music played in the streets. kendricks music dont get played in the streets. dummy

      1. he means run the streets as in run the music played in the streets. kendricks music dont get played in the streets. Dickhead

    32. I really try to just read the stories on here, and not look at these dumbass comments, but for some reason I always get drawn in. Y’all dudes are idiots foreal.

      When you dealing with a street nigga what music you think he’s gonna play? I’m a Boss, Tupac Back and Levels or Money Trees, Swimming Pools and Sing about Me??? If you actually listened to the interview, he said he knows it’s about sport. Backpack niggas listen to K.Dot, Hood niggas listen to Meek. That’s his point

      That what he means.

      1. Street dudes listen to K.Dot. Plenty of them love K.Dot. I knew a NY hustler who kept Badu on repeat. Blasted Talib and Common in the same hour that he bumped Beans and 50.

      2. are you kidding me??????? bloods and crips and latin kings rep hard for kendrick. so what is meek’s argument???

        besides, he got called out several times the past 6 months by gillie, cassidy, young chris, cssyro, chubby jag ect ect

    33. EXACTLY! SHIT BACKPACK NIGGAS ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE TIME TO COMMENT ON THESE NUT ASS BLOGS ANYWAY. HOPE Y’ALL AT WORK MAKING MONEY WHILE YOU DO IT AND NOT AT HOME JERKIN OFF

      1. I NEVER COMMENT ON THESE BLOGS WITH WEIRDOS IM NEVER GONNA SEE BUT I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING TODAY. INTERNET GANGSTERS ARE THE WEIRDEST I SWEAR

    34. Nobody even listened to the words. Youre all hype beast cunts. Because he called out big name niggas and told them to step their game up..that means hes in a position to so so??? Just because he did that…hes competition…to fuckin meek mill…? Eat a FATTTTTT dick. He did that shit for hype and hes getting it because half the world and 99% of you people, are hype beasts who will DICK RIDE FOR DAYS, just because its a popular thing to talk about. I hope every person gets shot in the face that says anything like ‘this was the verse of the year’ or that hes the hottest/best in hip hop…or that he is ‘re inventing hip hop’ or ‘bringing real hip hop back’. Get shot in your fucking face please. Too many people are rich because of having the attention of the intellectually challenged.

      1. Hey Rex shut the fuck up. It is verse of the year, name something hotter. Name an artist who called out niggas that were in the same song.

    35. “So how did he sold 994k albums if nobody bumps his shit?”

      It was a figure of speech. There’s obviously an organization of no taste buying consumers who are lapping this sleepy shit up, but just because it went platinum doesn’t mean it’s in heavy rotation on the streets.

      1. “There’s obviously an organization of no taste buying consumers who are lapping this sleepy shit up”

        No. Those no-taste buying consumers are buying YMCMB/MMG’s shit. Kendrick’s album is far from sleepy.

        “just because it went platinum doesn’t mean it’s in heavy rotation on the streets.”

        Who the fuck cares about the streets anymore in 2013? They don’t even buy records, they just download them off the internet. Those same streets have terrible music taste as they listen to trash like Chief Keef, Gucci Mane, Future, Yo Gotti, etc. Kendrick don’t care about the streets. Like other rappers, he wants to be bigger than that. Why appeal to a bunch of bum hoodlums living in the projects on food stamps when you can appeal to a more diverse audience just like Jay, Kanye, Eminem, Wayne, etc.?

    36. “what kenwack was able to accomplish in 9 months Ross hasn’t been able to do in 9 years!”

      Yet Ross is everywhere, so apparently going gold is working for him. Kendrick won’t have other artists reaching out for him in the same way now after he had his little diarrhea of the mouth moment.

    37. “And all of those other people’s album’s don’t sell shit and his exposure doesn’t help his record sales”

      He did a guest spot on Take Care (Lord Knows) and the album went 2x platinum. I’m On One was also a big hit off Khaled’s album.

    38. most of these rappers aint real niggas. Word, Nas bankrupt never was a drug runner, Lil Wayne aint no blood, Jeezy aint no BMF, 50 a snitch, Game a stripper, Em was gay. None of these niggas real you guys. If they was all real they all be dead now. Like it or not Ross is the new biggie.

      BAWSE!!!!!

      1. man! look at you man…if your a kid i can understand.If ur a grown ass man writing shit like this,,,wtf is wrong with you?sounding like the biggest DICK eater eva…..And then ur gonna tag in a Ricky Rozay.What? u think ricky rocks with a dick rider..n—-s like you be playing urself hard man!

      1. too bad for you fools you’ll never respect a legend like tyler, the only REAL rapper left in the game. his originality is UNMATCHED!

        #GOLF WANG!

    39. man who actually listens to meek fuckwit appeals to tryhard teens fuck outta here with that shit u pussy

    40. who the hell listens to Meek Mill and says he’s a lyricist? All he does is talk about his designer clothes and money who the hell cares go run your “streets” Meek

    41. let’s see kendrick drop a verse hotter than this

      “My sentiments exactly, niggas can’t out rap me
      And if they could, they already dead or they hip-hop hall-of-famers
      Don’t run up if you ain’t got a whole catalog of bangers
      Gary gangsta, guess I’m no longer a stranger
      Bitch I get love out on the West Coast like I ball for Lakers
      Ask my nigga Syke, fuck the proof, I’m where the drugs was
      Hit the streets with nothing but troops, slaughter your buzz, cuz
      Thuggin’, I don’t be bloggin’ like Budden, I just speak through the songs
      Figure the only reason that you was on, cause you’s a clone
      Moving right along, we all wrong, but all’s well
      Slamming off the phone and chopping stones, we all sell
      Sometimes I had work on deck, and sometimes I 9-to-5-ed it
      Do more than boast about balling, I rhyme about surviving
      Getting it in every city I ever lived
      South Central to ATL and over the Brooklyn Bridge
      I hit the G and watch them shipping that weight
      Serving plates, whipping with my nigga Dominican H
      I need some cash, I know you trying to get straight, so fuck with me dawg
      Them other niggas slamming that bammer, they need a recall
      Got choppers, fuck binoculars, nigga we come to see y’all
      Don’t matter if you V, or GD, or C or a B-Dawg
      The topics from the prophet prevail
      East-side G.I. ’til I get dropped or I get locked in a cell
      My nigga Seal(?) said, “I can’t afford to take that L.”
      So he lickin shots at the fucking laws, I call ’em Johnnies (fuck the police), he like to call em 12’s
      Fuck the polices and rest in peace, to my nigga Stymie
      Pigs killed him front of his family, that shit was grimey
      That’s why everywhere I go I keep a brother beside me
      Cut the fat from the clique, got them bitch niggas way from ’round me
      That’s how they do you, act like they never knew you
      Ho I see right through you, what you eatin’ don’t make me doo-doo
      And if I ain’t gon’ shit, I might as well jump off the pot
      Mighty dollar say I might as well pull a plot on your spot
      I’m trying to clock a knot, pushing as quickly as possible
      Had to be Gangsta Gibbs, wasn’t gifted like Glenn Robinson
      Average hoop skills, but I ride up on coupe wheels
      Custom convertible cutlass, how you and you crew feel
      When you see that? You probably wanna do that just like me
      I set the bar for I-N-D, no nigga don’t rap like me
      You want that killer not that filler, then fuck with yo’ boy Fred
      Malcolm of the Mid, probably more like Detroit Red
      And I can easily bring you defeat with my vernacular
      I’m too deep in these streets to be beefing with a rapper
      I got niggas that hate me, bitches that love me
      Hands do damage so I manage to stay handsome when shit could get ugly
      Now every nigga rhyming think he a mob boss
      Better keep it tucked cause pups get fucked like Shad Moss
      Niggas was puffing that huff ’til I sent a few quads off
      Shot my nigga some kush and couple of zips of that bomb soft
      Attracting addicts, when I pick them beats I be selecting Statik
      Rap ain’t nothing but talking shit; I’m just the best at it
      At every stage show, I’m puffin that tree
      Been putting it down since ’03, but y’all wasn’t fuckin with me
      I threw my tape out on the streets and watched my tape lift off
      With out a verse from Weezy, Kanye or the fake Rick Ross
      Fuck a cosign, I hold mine close to the hip
      Crushin’ feelin’s, leaving niggas on some emotional shit”

    42. 1) Drake is the face of rap. If not list nsmes that are hotter than drake is right now all you haters can’t.
      2) Drake has the most number 1 hits in hiphop on billboards in only 4 years in the game. This is a fact look it up
      3) Drakes tours are the highest grossing look it up if your in denial.
      4) Every song drake drop gets the most views again look it up.
      5) Drake is only 25 he is allready on legend status when drake enters his 40s he will be the most sucessfull.
      6) Only hiphop nerds that live in their basement and get no pussy hate on drake all casual fans of music respect and like drake when they think of listening to hiphop they listen to drake

      All you haters claim i lie when i state facts instead of your shitty opinions drake runs rap its fact!

      1. 1)Drake worships Lil Wayne.
        2)Drake is also an RnB artist.
        3)Mariah Carey gets more diva money than Drake. Look it up.
        4)Babies get the most likes on youtube videos. Look it up.
        5) If Drake doesn’t develop another platform of income, he will not last long enough to have more than any of hip hop’s moguls.
        6)Drake is specifically made and designed for hip hop nerds.Look it up.

        All you lovers that claim Drake is the greatest, stop voicing opinions and mistaking them for facts! LOL!!!

      2. Drake is so “hot” because he appeals to young teenage girls. They buy music legitimately and go to concerts in major arenas with their parents. Does he deserve praise for successfully targeting this market? Sure, but no more than Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, or Miley Cyrus.

        One thing is for sure; if you go into a room full of well read, true hip-hop fans or better yet, professional critics, you can expect to get laughed at with that diatribe.

    43. fuck kendrick cuz im spittin’ on u niggaz
      got my nigga lil wayne shittin’ on u niggaz
      best rapper in the game pissin’ on u niggaz
      regina carter is sexy dissin’ on u niggaz
      rick ross be twerkin’ his sexy ass on stage
      birdman told me rich gang sold a milli away
      tell future to get on this hook to sale
      i am the reason why all ur album records fail

      1. Meek Mill = another rapper poisoning the minds of the youth, encouraging children to do shit that will destroy their lives.

    44. What streets does he run? I’m in philly all day and never seen him. These rappers with a little change wouldnt be in the streets. This nigga past frontin he LYIN LIKE A MUTHAFUCKER!

      I’d take his fucking sneakers.

      We pat pockets out here meek. WHERE YOU BE AT?

    45. Meek Mill Says Kendrick Lamar “Can Run That Backpack, I’ma Run These Streets”

      Is what corny ass,no talent rappers say.

    46. “Dumbass. I was talking about Meek Mill, not Ross”

      Slow your roll down syndrome boy. Meek was on T.I.’s last album which will be gold.

    47. “khaled got like 7 albums and not 1 gold”

      He’s had a 2x platinum single, another platinum single, and several gold one’s. That’s where he makes his money, not off album sales. You sound like a broken record screaming to the world how certain rappers have never gone this or gone that. They’ve had more success in their life than you ever will.

    48. “No. Those no-taste buying consumers are buying YMCMB/MMG’s shit. Kendrick’s album is far from sleepy”

      So if people buy Macklemore or Kendrick then they have taste, but anything with a beat is trash? Kendrick’s album is sleepy. Soft. Inoffensive. Not memorable. May hike the suicide rate.

      1. You’re wrong about Kendrick. YMCMB/MMG make the same type of boring songs talking about the same subjects over generic beats.

      2. “Kendrick’s album is sleepy. Soft. Inoffensive. Not memorable. May hike the suicide rate.”

        All of this describes Drake’s albums not Kendrick’s. What makes you say this, because the nigga isn’t using generic techno/trap beats, yelling at the top of his voice like he’s getting raped, boasting about how much money he has/how he likes using recreational drugs/bragging about how many bitches he fuck like many of the other typical rappers out there? You need to be more open minded about music.

    49. gat damn, hiphopdx. Kendrick makes one little verse and you dedicate your entire newsfeed to him for the day? Actin like this was the 9/11 of rap.

    50. “Who the fuck cares about the streets anymore in 2013? They don’t even buy records, they just download them off the internet”

      Considering most people are out on those streets everyday either to go to work, or just going somewhere, you can get an idea what people are listening to. I saw a dude driving down the street playing an old Dre song. That’s my point. People in the streets/everyday life don’t listen to that sleepy shit. I like some of Drake’s music, but he’s got sleepy shit too, and nobody bumps that.

      1. So you’re basing this off a couple guys you’ve seen driving around where you live and your own preferences…

        Bloods be repping Kendrick hard. Meek getting punk’d by 50 on stage meanwhile.

    51. “Kendrick don’t care about the streets. Like other rappers, he wants to be bigger than that”

      Then why does he constantly do interviews talking about Compton and how he grew up around thugs if he doesn’t care about the streets, or want any part of being represented by them?

      1. thats his life yo if he supposed to not talk about it.

        your nigga ross talking about a life he never lived in all his interviews glorifying that shit

    52. “So you’re basing this off a couple guys you’ve seen driving around where you live and your own preferences”

      I’m talking about driving around the city, not going around the block. Nobody bumps Kdot. Bottom line.

    53. “You need to be more open minded about music”

      I’m very open minded if the music is good. Kdot’s beats suck, and his flow is average, to me at least.

    54. “Who the fuck cares about the streets anymore in 2013? They don’t even buy records, they just download them off the internet”

      ^ lol

      meanwhile someone right now, is a person from the streets buying an album, cassette, or CD. Yes vinyl, NY Times had an article about it in June. 2013.

      Downloads dominate the sales, and it’s no secret which community represents the downloads. Pirate Bay, Bit Torrent, Hulkshare, make more money than these street peddlers pushing these bootleg CDs you all swear that are ruining music sales. That’s the dirty little secret in that comment you keep reposting.

    55. “You can keep lying all you want. It doesn’t make what you say true”

      Thankfully it’s the truth. I don’t waste time lying my ass off like you.

      1. “Nobody bumps Kdot. Bottom line.”

        ^ this is that truth you’re trying to pass off as a commandment because YOU say so?

        “Control” and the backlash says STFU. And you’re here actually bickering because you KNOW you right. LOL, what a clown.

    56. 1) Drake is the face of rap. If not list nsmes that are hotter than drake is right now all you haters can’t.
      2) Drake has the most number 1 hits in hiphop on billboards in only 4 years in the game. This is a fact look it up
      3) Drakes tours are the highest grossing look it up if your in denial.
      4) Every song drake drop gets the most views again look it up.
      5) Drake is only 25 he is allready on legend status when drake enters his 40s he will be the most sucessfull.
      6) Only hiphop nerds that live in their basement and get no pussy hate on drake all casual fans of music respect and like drake when they think of listening to hiphop they listen to drake

      All you haters claim i lie when i state facts instead of your shitty opinions drake runs rap its fact!!

      1. Drake is lyrically capable, but doesn’t use it. He is successful and has more hits because he isn’t controversial. He toes the line and really has nothing to say when it comes down to representing the lifestyle, culture, and people that support him. He is the poster boy of self promotion, and excluding himself from those he wants money from for it. That’s the fact. There aren’t any controversial hip hop artists on the charts, and it ain’t by accident.

    57. “this is that truth you’re trying to pass off as a commandment because YOU say so?”

      I’m not God, tiny. All I’m pointing out is I don’t hear Kdot’s music anywhere. If you’re the 1 human being driving around playing his shit loud then God bless your audacity.

      1. Why are you still here trying to make you’re little drive-by scenario more credible than what we’ve been saying?

        Look at this Nerf dart he threw:

        “If you’re the 1 human being driving around playing his shit loud then God bless your audacity.”

        ^ but he’s commenting on articles of people who……..guess what……have listened to Kendrick’s music.

        Told y’all something wrong with that boy.

      1. THANK YOU!!! Since when rapping knowledge is a bad thing. We got enough people rapping about drugs and money. Rap some enlightenment sometimes. HIP HOP NEEDS DIVERSITY!

    58. Wayne and Birdman kissing is father and son. It’s not gay behavior, fathers and sons do it all the time.

      Also, Meek Mill is running the game.

      1. fathers do not kiss their grown up sons on the lips EVER! that shit is unheard of! especially for a father and son that aint even blood related. wayne didnt come outta that niggas balls

      2. I’ve seen my friends kiss their fathers on the lips all the time. Birdman is Wayne’s stepfather. Same thing.

      3. you are right, there is nothing wrong with a father and son kissing. but they are NOT father and son. they call each other that sot they can have an excuse when they get caught with each others tongues down each others throat.

        there is nothing wrong with being gay. they should just own it

      4. Samuel. you think Patrick`s postlng is really cool… on sunday I got a new volvo from bringing in $4133 this month and-just over, ten/k last month. without a doubt it is the most-comfortable job Ive ever done. I actually started nine months/ago and right away started to bring in at least $70… per hour. I use this website,, ——> WEP6(dot)COM

    59. Meek mill should be happy he got his name said and on some street shit meek really don’t want to start some shit with a Compton nigga that going to have the whole west cost riding with him…..Meek Mill runs from every battle fake ass hip hop need to get the fuck out the way it over for Meek anyway

      1. how would you know that

        his uncles and cousins are probably all gang members

        jay rock rolls with him aint he a blood?

      2. “hes a straight arrow dude, who says please and thankyou, he dont have connections” yeah, cause only people who have an IQ of 50 and speak like a complete fucking monkey have “connections” lmfao

      3. Kendrick got some connects. He was from Compton. You just dont know. And dont say some shit about Philly. Because I lived in both places

    60. i hope schoolboy hold it down on oxymoron

      hope he aint make fake music

      dont even have to get personal

      just be super lyrical

    61. whats rap without lyrics

      mixtapes better than albums

      prove urself with crazy mixtapes than fall off with there debut

      seen it happen to wale j.cole kendrick royce and more

      dont know what mainstream hip hop are doing

    62. aaahhahhahah maybe neighborhood watch.

      ahahahhha responds without a verse.

      fake rappers are getting exposed.

    63. “his uncles and cousins are probably all gang members”

      Recorded phone conversation between Kendrick and his Uncle Tyrone. Shoot Papoose for me. I would do it myself, but the sound of gunfire scares me.

    64. “I would do it myself, but the sound of gunfire scares me.”

      ^ there you have it folks, a Quote-Man confession

      1. No half a sperm. I suspect every time a car backfires your bitch ass runs home and listens to another bitch, Kendrick Lamar lol

      2. And don’t you love the irony of how you just took that out of context, yet bash others for doing the same? Desperate times call for desperate measures, huh?

    65. Bitch Millz still mad about Kendrick killing all of MMG on Power Circle, yall niggas rap game look like Ross’s titties, DROOPY.

      1. If he was mad he wouldve tried to diss him. Meek Mill doesnt care, which is why he doesnt make the music he can. All he cares about is making money so he wants other artists to make the song better.

      2. MMG is 100x more popular than Kendrick Lamar. The streets respond to MMG. Hair salons respond to Kendrick.

      3. HA!! Is that a joke? If they’re more popular, how come none of them have a platinum album? The streets don’t care about MMG at all.

    66. Ja Rule army has fallen on hard times…. some of our generals have been banned (the ones that started this shit way back in 2012),not to mention this new “ja rule the official troll army” appeared.

      DONT DIVIDE MY BROTHERS, WE NEED TO MAKE THEM BELIEVE OUR GOD JA RULE IS COMING BACK. LETS GO, LET MURDER.INC LIGHT GUIDE YOU. FOR HONOR,FOR JA RULE,FOR ASHANTI’S SWEET SWEET ASS!!!
