And it is safe to say that even the respectably Jay-Elec is left slightly behind on this one. <\/p>\n<p>The TDE conglomerate uses the piano key-chiming bell-and tambourine-ringing track to roll call his \u201ccompetition\u201d in the game:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m usually homeboys with the same niggas I\u2019m rhyming\u2019 with<\/p>\n<p>But this is hip hop and them niggas should know what time it is<br \/>\nAnd that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale<br \/>\nPusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake<br \/>\nBig Sean, Jay Electron\u2019, Tyler, Mac Miller<\/p>\n<p>I got love for you all but I\u2019m trying to murder you niggas<\/p>\n<p>Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And just like that, K.Dot might have given you one of the hottest verses of the year on this one!<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cControl\u201d<\/em> will not be included in <strong>Big Sean\u2019s<\/strong> upcoming album due to issues with clearing the sample, however <strong>Hall Of Fame<\/strong> looks to be a stellar filled album with or without <strong>Kendrick<\/strong> and <strong>Jay-Elec<\/strong>, as he gathers contribution from <strong>Nas<\/strong>, <strong>Miguel<\/strong>, <strong>Pharrell Williams<\/strong>, <strong>Kid Cudi<\/strong><\/strong>, <strong>Nicky Minaj<\/strong>, <strong>Lil\u2019 Wayne<\/strong>, <strong>Young Jeezy<\/strong>, and <strong>Ellie Goulding<\/strong>. <strong>Hall Of Fame<\/strong> is now available on itunes for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.defjam.com\/pre-order-big-seans-new-album-hall-of-fame-now-on-itunes\/\">pre-order<\/a>, and will officially be due out August 27th.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and did I fail to mention that <strong>Kendrick<\/strong> just crowned himself \u201cKing Of New York\u201d ?
