For many of you who may not know, Papoose is a rapper out of New York whose career can be safely considered washed up. Another thing lots don't know is that coming up, Kendrick was given alot of shine by Pap whenever he would come to New York just so he'd gain more exposure. So in return, Kendrick gave Pap the last 5 mins of his Summer Jam set this year without given the permission to, just out of love. Now my thing is, I still can't quite grasp why the artist are reacting so sensitive about Kendrick's "Control" verse. Real Emcee's recognized it was him simply naming his competition, and they agree'd to do the same in return then keep it moving. But for people such as Drake and this guy, why take it so personal? Of course Drake made a good point on his CRWN interview when he asked Elliot what was the first 2 lines of the "Control" verse; Elliot could't answer. But AS WE ALL KNOW Kendrick's BET Cypher verse was targeted at Aubrey, so why in god's name is this guy consistently failing at attempts to stay relevant? Pap, this verse was OBVIOUSLY not directed at you. In my opinion, I feel like dude is just latching himself on to Kendrick's every word. Then to go as far as saying Kendrick can't shine your shoes lyrically? Saying you "ate his soul alive" with your response. LMAO. Come one man, give it up. Kendrick and the whole TDE camp are doing great things. Let's stop the hate. See what Pap said about Kendrick and his BET CYPHER verse.

A lot of people said he was going at you.
I agree with the people, I looked at the majority and they were saying he was going at me. So I agree with the listeners, I agree with the fans. They say majority rules, so I agree with the majority.
You’ve gone back at Kendrick in the past with a verse. Are you planning on that this time?
Yeah yeah, he can’t fuck with me. He’ll never be able to shine my shoes, lyrically. So I’m just gonna be able to continue to prove that, to show and prove, like I did on “Control.” This is hip-hop, I love hip-hop, but I just want to continue to show and prove that he can’t fuck with me lyrically. You can look forward to that in my next release, straight up. I live in the studio, that’s my second home. So yeah, I’m definitely going to respond.
Are you going to wait to hear the full verse?
I don’t gotta wait, he’s very predictable. I already know what he’s capable of and what he’s gonna say; he’s very predictable. I don’t gotta wait. I can go right now and crush that little 15-second shit he did. That ain’t even about nothing. The guy’s predictable; he’s a very predictable artist. I already know what he’s gonna say before he even says it.
It kinda seemed like Kendrick had gone through your “Control” response line by line in his verse.
Oh, definitely. Cosmic Kev out in Philly, when he played it, he said the record reminded him of “Ether.” I think that just ate his soul alive; as much as he wanted to take the high road and try to say that he was too much of a big shot to respond, I think it ate him alive and he couldn’t resist.
You think you struck a nerve with him?
Oh, more than a nerve, I struck the entire nervous system. He couldn’t sleep at night, when he opened his freezer he’d see my face, when he closed his eyes…[Laughs] I’m just bullshitting. But I think that struck a nerve, definitely. It shook the ground up, let’s keep it real—when I dropped my response, it shook the ground up. You got guys who say, “this response or that one,” but come on, man, my “Control” response has over a million views already. I look around at some of the other guys, they got 300,000 or something like that, you know what I mean? There’s no comparison. Come on.
