New Single "Control (HOF)" Sees Kendrick Lamar Calling Out Big Competitors

Kendrick Lamar is rising to the top and won’t let anybody stand in his way, the rapper has made that much clear by calling out a bunch of rappers on his latest track “Control (HOF)”. Actually, name dropped would be a more accurate description, because the list of… um… homeboys includes quite a few big names.

That’s quite a controversial message, but at least he’s being friendly about it, sort of. In any case, if there’s anyone, who can afford the friendly rivalry with the likes of J Cole and Jay Z, it’s Kendrick Lamar, who has become a household name in the past couple of years. This year, he topped MTV’s Hottest MCs In The World Poll, beating out the likes of 2 Chainz, Kanye West and Rick Ross. And with a platinum record (good kid, m.A.A.d. city) and sold out shows across the country, the rapper definitely has some backing for his confidence.
