Kendrick Lamar did not hold anything back on his latest verse off Big Sean’s “Control (HOF).” The TDE emcee took a huge step forward in claiming the “The Greatest of His Generation” title by telling several of his peers that the only ones in his league right now are rap veterans Jay Z, Nas, Eminem, and André 3000. He also caught people’s ear when he even claimed that he is “The King of New York.”

It seems Kendrick’s message was heard loud and clear, because a few emcees took to Twitter to respond.

Pusha T: “I hear u loud and clear my n***a… @kendricklamar” Pusha T tweeted at him.

Mac Miller: “If I can’t do no more nouns or verbs ima start comin with the wildest adjective bars that anyone has ever heard,” Mac Miller added.

Diddy: “KENDRICK!!!!!” Diddy tweeted. ”Ohhhh Sh********t”

Big Sean: @kendricklamar so mad on that song, ha ha… Sheesh @JayElectronica on there like a scientist! Thanks u rappin ass niggas
