Weeks after Kendrick Lamar’s “Control” verse sparked a lyrical battle among rappers, Meek Mill finally decided to respond to the Cali native on his “Ooh Kill Em (Kendrick Diss).” Unfortunately, Meek’s bars did not reach the standards his fans may have had for him and we completely agree.
Listen to Meek Mill’s response below.
Check out our 6 reasons Meek Mill didn’t lyrically assault Kendrick Lamar on the track.
1. Meek used audio of the Vine famous little kid who singlehandedly blew up from his “ooh, kill em” line and dance moves. Although the young one may feel special for his notoriety we happen to think you let Terio down with this one Meek.
2. We understand Meek may have felt some type of way but perhaps rapping over Rich Homie Quan’s “Some Type Of Way” instrumental would have been a better fit for you.
“I’m usually homeboys with the same n*ggas I’m rhymin’ with/But this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is/And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale, Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake, Big Sean, Jay Electron’, Tyler, Mac Miller/I got love for you all but I’m tryna murder you n*ggas/Tryna make sure your core fans never heard you n*ggas/They don’t wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you n*ggas.”

We personally think Meek should have felt honored to have been named and used the same concept on his track rather than releasing a lukewarm diss record especially since the two rappers seemed to be quite cordial with one another prior to the lyrical namedropping.
3. When writing a diss record, you should probably talk about things you usually don’t speak about and focus on lyrically murdering your competition to smithereens. Unfortunately Meek stuck to talking about his shooters, his drug usage and thetypical Meek Mill wordplay we hear on every other track.
4. “You’ve been in the game like a year and some change & you feeling yourself so I’m killin these niggas” Can we call your bluff Meek? Kendrick Lamar and Meek Mill both started building their buzz around 2003 when Kendrick went by “K. Dot” and Meek Mill was rocking the struggle braids.
In addition to getting put on at the same time, they were both featured on the XXL Freshman list in 2011.
5. Meek seemed a little bitter throughout the diss record-that featured a bar and a half getting at Kendrick- and perhaps we know why. Meek are you upset over your debut album sales considering that “good kid, m.A.A.d city” sold nearly 80,000 more copies than “Dreams And Nightmares?”
“They know Meek Milly, I barely went gold.”
6. We’ll have to wait to see if Kendrick is going to respond to Meek Mill but something tells us that the diss track is the least of his concern right about now.
