In 2014, Kurupt created one of VladTV's most viral moments when he went ballistic over New York's defensive response to Kendrick Lamar's "I'm the King of New York" line in his "Control" verse. Kurupt originally spits the "King of NY" line on the 2010 track "Get Bizy," which also featured verses from Kendrick Lamar, Terrace Martin, and Bad Lucc. Shortly after giving an explanation behind his line, Kurupt went off over how quick New Yorkers are to get offended by any line that mentions their city. He emphasized that there is no problem between the West Coast and New York and that every state within the United States is ultimately a part of a family.
