BET ran their annual Hip-Hop awards. During the always anticipated Cypher segments, Kendrick closed down the TDE crew’s turn on the mic with a scathing verse that many saw as a direct response to Drakes interview as well as the Papoose diss when he spit (And nothings been the same since they dropped control/and tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes/Ha-Ha, Jokes on you, Hi-five/I’m bullet proof. Your shot’ll never penatrate/pin the tail on the donkey boy, ya been a fake. I Got my thumb on Hip-Hop, and my foot in the back of yo ass/aftermath get the last laugh.” Advantage: Kendrick.

Nearly four months later, Roc nation representative J. Cole decided to finally get off the bench and in the game… kinda. At one time it was reported that he and Kendrick were actually working on a joint album together and Cole who’s always stood for lyrical excellence has been a champion for the modern MC. With this in mind, many thought he’d be one of the first to respond and were surprised that the southern spitter had been super quiet. But Cole found a funny way to address the elephant in the room when on the remix for Justin Timberlake’s TKO he spit, “I was home alone, next thing I know/That long ass verse from a song called “Control” was on. The room got nearer, the tomb got clearer/That’s when I seen the shit playin’ on your phone. Girl, what is that? A 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 n*gga want problems, my trigger’s on auto, I’ll make sure that nobody miss him!” It was a good verse that was well appreciated but still seen as a disappointment to those that believe that Cole was one of the few who could go bar for bar with K Dot.

Drake drops some more subTweet bars at a nameless opponent in a remix to Future’s “Sh*t” but everyone assumes he is talking about Kendrick:

“If a n*gga say my name he the hot sh*t/but if I say that nig*a name he still the hot sh*t” and “funny how they dangling the bait but I’m the one killing n*ggas on the hook.”

Kendrick’s boss at TDE, Top Dawg, was not impressed and let it be known in a Tweet:

“If this is the best shit n*ggas got… I feel sorry 4 em…lmao #TDE

Given responses like this it is unlikely that we’ll see an actual battle between Drake and Kendrick, (or anyone else actually mentioned on the song) but it will still stand as a defining moment for hip-hop music in 2013 and possibly, beyond.

“It was a good moment for the culture,” Young Guru told TheUrbanDaily.com reflecting on the whole thing a month later. “That was this generation’s first real deal ‘moment’ the same way we talk about Nas and Jay on the radio. That was a MOMENT. For me it was good.”

For us it was GREAT.
