Though other rappers have said more about Kendrick Lamar‘s verse on “Control” more than the author himself, the figures aren’t absolutely skewed against Kendrick. K. Dot recently sat down with Chelsea Handler to discuss the verse. It’s a brief segment and Handler is unsurprisingly obnoxious and racist (“You’re black so obviously you know about basketball” – hardy, har har), but Kendrick handles it with poise. The segment is only two minutes, but why wouldn’t it be? The verse truly is that easy to explain, despite the histrionics from the rap community. Watch below and never watch Chelsea Lately again.

For additional words from Kendrick himself regarding the verse, listen to his interview with Peter Rosenberg. It’s slightly sycophantic and over-dramatic, but it’s an interesting listen nonetheless. Kendrick is a very thoughtful dude.
