How do you feel about the song? The beat? Kendrick's part? I like the song, the beat is sick, and Kendrick killed the song.

Jay and Kendrick are on point as usual, and the beat sounds like a Graduation-era Kanye West beat. I hate Big Sean, so he ruined it for me. One listen is enough for me.

It's a big thing. Kendrick just called everyone out, told them to step their game up. He wants to be the greatest of all time, the leader of the new school. He's on point.

Beat was meh, lyrics as a whole were meh (except Kendrick saying he's the best, that .poo. was hilarious). Song was ok, but forgettable. Then again, I don't care for rating single songs.

I think its great that he's riling people up. Hip hop needs some good beefs. Everyone is too occupied with corny dance tracks. They're losing focus. Talib Kweli tried to start some controversy by calling out ASAP Rocky, but no one cares. When was the last time Kweli was relevant?

I'm feeling that Joell Ortiz response though.

Trick question? He never was? Is ASAP considered relevant too? I agree, hip hop definitely needs some beef, but Kendrick trying to start it is laughable. Now RZA doing a response I could get behind.

Black Star, man.

I don't think its laughable. He called out new rappers (his peers) in it. It's not like he's going after rappers that have been around for a while and have staked their claims. Like DC said. He's just trying to be king of the new generation and is not far off of getting there.

I think Kendrick had plans to bring hip hop back to the old days, where people had rap battles, they always rapped about each other. I actually when I heard it stood there, replayed the song. Stopped there and gave it to my brother to hear. I was amazed of how up frot he was about saying to the new artists to step there game up. I think it put a flame under them to make some more songs, especially about Kendrick lol.

Dudecore

Everyone is firing back. It's the most interesting thing to happen to hip hop in awhile. Kendrick is the most talked about dude in awhile too. It's refreshing. I don't think there is anything old school about Kendrick. He's a conscious rapper - little bit of Kanye, little bit of Kweli.

I mean for real though: J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale, Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake, Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller are all trash. Maybe Rock might be the only decent one. They're all new school .poo. and Kendrick has been murdering them.

Lupe Fiasco and everyone else has absolutely been clowning Kendrick, but hopefully this is the start of a hip hop resurgence and a move away from the Lil Wayne autotuned, meaningless garbage. Kendrick is non-violent anyway, not gang affiliated and a positive role model - I hope he gets it.

Pusha needs to get back with Malice. I like ASAP and Jay a lot. The rest are horrible. I wish he would've called out Hopsin. That wouldve been great because he's garbage too.

He set the Internet into a frenzy. I think its great.
