Joell Ortiz responds to Kendrick Lamar

[Francesco]

"You rich rappers can't respond with all the dollars you get
Gangsta rappers can't retaliate with hollows and clips
And you fashion rappers wear the kind of jeans that hardly get zipped
So zip it, I got this shit, real hip hop in this bitch"

See? Even Joell acknowledges that NY has been slippin' and deserved this beating from Kendrick.

"Why should I recycle bars when my mind is a flight to Mars?
Any force I came across was like rhyming inside a star"

Actually...the whole verse rocks.

Yeah totally on point... he wasn't hating on K.Dot. Dude just did himself & it fucking murdered it.

[SliK]

He didn't really say much in this verse. It's obviously one of the better ones but nobody is on Kendrick's level right now. Even Eminem (my #1 rapper) couldn't drop a verse as hot as Kendrick's.

Enjoy riding Kendrick's wave of success though, Joell. You gotta get ya name out there somehow.

[EminemBase]

Not bad yo. Kendrick's was better doh.

This is great for rap doh.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

This is better than Kendrick's verse, Joseph though will trump everybody else.

[SliK]

Lol, no it's not.

How can you even say it's better when the impact of Kendrick's verse is what created all this? None of the verses that follow can touch Kendrick's because they're only using Kendrick's buzz to promote themselves. What Kendrick said made the Internet explode, Joell just made a hot verse.

[SliK]

Literally not in the same league.

[Trimss]

If Drake never dropped Over we wouldn't have Despicable yet the latter one is better.

[SliK]

That's because Over was shit and had no impact at all. What's your point exactly?

[Trimss]

The quality of the verses can be compared without talking about impact. Even so., Joell's verse got the world buzzing too.

He represented NY and everyone said he killed it. His verse was as dope as Kdot's.

Lol. Not at all. And what does that have to do with your last statement?

He literally said nothing but "you ain't the king, I'm the king!"
The rest was either filler which was pleasing to the ear or just him repeating himself.
We'll see which verse is remembered in a few months.

[Epidemik]

holy shit.. ive always been a fan of Joell and i like Kendrick.. but Joell fucking killed this. Hands down..
good to hear some competition diss again.
we can only hope that Kendrick responds and mentions the rest of Slaughterhouse or the rest of slaughterhouse just respond anyway.. then Royce can bring Malcom out of retirement lol



oh and to the people who thought he was mentioning Curtis...
But Dre you a fucking gangster and Kirdis you're such a sweetie
hes talking about Kurdis Postelle

Kirdis Postelle, the former general manager and 17 year veteran of Dr. Dre's label Aftermath Entertainment

Lines like this is why Kendrick's verse was better. Yeah, that sounds cool but it's completely meaningless and says nothing.

The juggernaut's all in your jugular, you take me for jokes
Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces
Cartier bracelets for my women friends I'm in Vegas
Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be?

"Lines like these are why Joell's verse was better. Yeah, that sounds cool but it's completely meaningless and says nothing."

It can go either way. Shut the fuck up.

[SliK]

Lol how does that not mean anything? Cos you're too dumb to understand it?

Fuck outta here.

[Coulter]

And that meant more than what Joell said? Both meant something. What the fuck are bars if they don't mean anything?
