Earlier this year, Kendrick Lamar gave Papoose's career a huge boost by letting him grace the Summer Jam stage without even telling the concert's organizers beforehand. It was a bizarre moment for sure, but the Compton rapper said he was just showing Papoose love after Papoose had helped him out years ago. So today, Papoose returned the favor... by dissing the shit out of Kendrick in his response to "Control."
Now, since the release of "Control" Monday night, there's been a flood of response records. (For a helpful tally of the first batch of responses, click here.) But this one is totally WTF. For starters, Pap kicks off the song by saying he only needs 30 seconds—and then proceeds to rap for almost four minutes straight. Poor time management skills aside, Pap's rhymes were, umm... Well, we picked out some representative selections, and then found some GIFs showing how we'd imagine Kendrick might react.
Just know, there's a reason why Kendrick feels comfortable enough to call himself the King of New York: It's because guys like Papoose rap like this.

"Kendrick Lamar, where’s your last name? Rap bastard/You got two first names, your mama was ass backwards (Stupid!)."
Points for originality, in that we have never heard anyone dissed for having a last name that could also serve as a first name. But that's probably because: Who cares even a little tiny bit?
"Kendrick, Kanye, and Drake they act feminine/Wear a lotta clothes you usually see women in."
Cracking on someone's fashion sense is a tried-and-true way of dissing someone. But dressing like a woman? Nah, Kendrick dresses more like a....
"Good kid, bad city, you know nothing about the trap/On your album cover you sat on another man's lap."
And by another man, Pap is referring to Kendrick's uncle. Because sitting on your uncle's lap as a baby is so TOTALLY WEIRD, right?!?!
"You'll never be a real West Coast artist like Eazy-E/You a fucking joke, we laughing at you like hee-hee-hee."
Oh we're laughing alright, just not at Kendrick.
"Strip him to his socks, I bet you he got a Poo-See (pussy)/Bullets hit him dead in his cootie come out his booty."
No. Just no.
