Unlike graffiti and breakdancing, it seems as if the musical side of hip hop has fallen and can&#8217;t get up. The recent controversy surrounding the whole <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SaMreUKk5Fk\" title=\"Kendrick Lamar - \"Control Freestyle (Kendrick Verse Only)\">Kendrick Lamar Control verse<\/a> has left me shaking my head in disbelief. I honestly did not understand what the fuss was about. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/blogs\/therecord\/2013\/08\/21\/214145432\/the-blast-radius-of-kendrick-lamars-control-verse\" title=\"The Blast Radius Of Kendrick Lamar's 'Control' Verse\">Brothers are stating that Lamar&#8217;s verse on Control is going to shake up the game<\/a>. If that is the case then hip hop is in even more of a sad state than I originally believed.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think Lamar has shook up the game as much as he has taken a page from MCs over 20 years ago. Back when competition was the word of the day. Back when lyrical content was more important <!--more-->than the trash that passes for Hip Hop today. Back when you had to watch what you said or be verbally assaulted for dropping weak tracks. Lamar&#8217;s verse wasn&#8217;t even a dis track. He was just stating that in Hip Hop everyone is in competition to be the best. I give him respect for that, but this wasn&#8217;t anything like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rk2r6EohfT8\" title=\"Hit'em Up\">&#8220;Hit&#8217;em up&#8221;<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z-alEhlHSzk\" title=\"The Bridge is Over\">&#8220;The Bridge is Over&#8221;<\/a>. If anything it was like he was naming the &#8220;best&#8221; of the current crop of rappers. Hell, I thought <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/08\/10\/harry-belafonte-disappointment-jay-z-beyonce_n_1766315.html\" title=\"Harry vs. Hov\">Harry Belafonte went at Jay Z<\/a> harder than Lamar went at the industry. <\/p>\n<p>Only one thought was going through my head the whole time I have been listening to Lamar, the rappers he mentioned (notice I said rappers an not MCs), and their responses to his track. To paraphrase the illustrious Slick Rick&#8230;. Garbage, garbage, garbage. The whole army of them is straight garbage.<\/p>\n<p>I miss real hip hop.
