Big Sean ft Kendrick Lamar / Jay Electronica – Control (HOF)

Big Sean gave Funk Flex a gem last night when he let him premiere his new track ‘Control (HOF)’ featuring Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica.

It’s safe to say K Dot steals the show as he drops one of the best verses in recent memory and proclaims himself as the king of New York and controversially name checks various rappers to chase his crown. Considering most of the MCs he name checks are rappers that he respects it’s hard to call it a diss track more like friendly fire to shake up the game and in an era where every rapper is on each others dick it’s a refreshing change.

Unfortunately due to sample clearance the No I.D produced track will not feature on Sean’s forthcoming album ‘Hall Of Fame’ which I’m sure Jay Electronica is pleased about as he clearly has the weakest verse which apparently was recorded a few months ago. When will rappers learn that in order to not get bodied on a posse cut be sure to all be in the studio at the same time lol. Peep below for the track as well as Twitter reactions after the jump which has been on a melt down ever since the cut was unleashed….
