Unless you've been living under a rock these last few days, then you either heard or atleast heard of the crazy, name-dropping verse on Big Sean's "Control" featuring K.Dot and Jay Electronica. And for those who heard it, you all know that was the best verse of this year and it probably WILL NOT be topped in 2013.
"But there's so many great rappers out there!! How will it not be topped this year?!?" The reason is because the only reason anyone would try to beat him out is completely in spite of him and the verse he put down. While writing the verse, the rapper is thinking "Okay I need to top Dot..What can I say that will get a better reaction than Kendrick's verse?"
It is pretty comparable to how all of the "New-Age" rappers will never top the careers of the legends like Tupac, Jay-Z, Biggie, Nas, etc. They are all rapping to be the best rapper to EVER live; and in the process, they are trying to surpass the legends and become one themself, which is EXACTLY what Kendrick's point is in the verse.
So....there you have it. You CANNOT beat out something or someone that was the original. Rappers: Wait until next year to surpass Kendrick. And if you somehow have not heard the verse, you can listen below!!
