Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Humble’ Lyrics Diss Big Sean? A Quick History Of Their Beef

Rapper Kendrick Lamar was accused of dissing Big Sean on his new track, “Humble.” Twitter erupted with speculation when the track dropped Thursday. It all started when the Compton rapper released “The Heart Part 4” last week.

He spits: “My fans can't wait for me to son your punk a--. And crush your whole lil s---. I'll Big Pun your punk ass you a scared lil b----.”

“Lil b----” is an ad-lib that Big Sean uses. It’s prominent in Lamar’s “Humble.”

One of the reasons people claimed Lamar took shots at Big Sean, again, is because the Top Dawg Entertainment star started his opening verse with the lines: “My left stroke just went viral. Right stroke put lil’ baby in a spiral.” This references Lamar going after Big Sean in both “The Heart Part 4” and “Humble,” Complex noted.

The problem between the two started in 2013 when Big Sean released “Control.” Lamar essentially slayed Big Sean on his own track.

He raps: “I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhyming with. But this is hip-hop. And them n----- should know what time it is. And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale, Pusha T, Meek Millz, ASAP Rocky, Drake, Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller, I got love for you all, but I'm tryna murder you n-----. Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you n-----. They don't wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you n-----.”

At first, Big Sean didn’t have a problem with Lamar washing him on his own track, but speculation arose with Big Sean dropped “Hall of Fame” and “Control” wasn’t on it. A year later, Big Seasn told Complex Magazine “Control” had “negativity” on it and it didn’t mesh with the tracks on “Hall of Fame.”

Since then, Big Sean seemingly took jabs at Lamar on tracks like DJ Khaled's “Holy Key” and “No More Interviews.”

While on “The Breakfast Club” in February, Big Sean denied that Lamar washed him on “Control.”
