Turn It Up, Turn It Up! The 15 Best Songs Of The Year
Big Sean’s “Control”
It’s hard to believe one of the best rap songs of the year has no official home. Big Sean released “Control,” which features Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica, to generate some buzz for his album and that it surely did. In his verse, Cali native Lamar called out his fellow rappers and crowded himself the King of New York, ruffling many feathers in the process. Although the song didn’t make it on to Big Sean’s Hall of Fame album due to sample clearance issues, it did become a trending topic and helped Big Sean move over 70,000 copies of his album in the first week.
