TMZ's cameras caught up with Kendrick Lamar at an airport recently and asked him how he felt about some of the responses to his "Control" verse.  Kendrick remained poised as he stated, "They gotta try harder."

He was also asked how he felt about Diddy posting a meme of him and Jay Z laughing about Kendrick saying he's the "King of New York," and Kendrick replied addressing Jay Z, "That's the big homie.  Everybody else gotta try harder."

Do you think any response would really impress Kendrick?  Check out the footage above.
