Only a few of those are made for the club. Touch The Sky, Golddigger, Good Life etc. = radio songs. Mercy & NIP were built for clubs.

Most of those have strong concepts too. Mercy & NIP (except for Jay's verse maybe) are about nothing. They are not about ANYTHING.

These are group efforts so obviously the themes aren't as strong as his normal stuff but it's not up to scratch. Mercy & NIP are dope for what they are though.

Who said nikkas in Paris was made for the clubs? and Who said Mercy was made for the clubs? They were/are played on radio in the morning, day and night. They've all got videos, with no light dressed girls, no night clubs and on.

nikkas in Paris clearly has a concept, it's that they ball so hard that CAC's wanna fine them. But cause they ball so hard the cac's fines are negligible.
Mixed with swag rap like a lot of other songs, like the Power Remix, Good Life, Stronger, Breathe in breathe out.

I'll give you Mercy that track is about nothing, it was just there to re-introduce Sean, 2 Chainz and Pusha-T.

Lupe can say that shyt to Kanye if Kanye's music makes him feel that way.
But he won't cause it won't cause any controversy, this nikka rarely goes on an interview without leaving some "screaming for attention" statements.

That's my problem with Lupe, besides his music being wack for the past 5 years.

He didn't ask to be questioned about the song. He didn't come there with the intention of speaking on this. It's not even Kanye's song:ld:.

So if someone asks him if he want's to fukk Michelle Obama in the ass, does he have to answer yes?
He could answer like he had some type of respect for Kanye, instead he went on a rant for people to talk about just like we are doing now.
Cause he knows that his stans are like fundamentalists, he knows that he can drop lasers bullshyt, say it's wack, say it was the labels fault and still sell 500k.
nikka can say all this dumb ass things he keeps on saying and his stans will just eat it up and co-sign.

Lupe gotta lotta nerve critiquing in public other artist's work considering that atrocity of an album called Lasers that he released some time ago. Didn't he blame the final product on pressure from the label? Now he's criticizing what another artist puts out? SMH

Lu has a good point though. This will be interesting to say the least

Actually there is absolutely no reason why this deserves a discussion at all really. The fact that people are upset and up in arms because someone said a song is repetitive is pretty ridiculous. Who cares?

I don't even know what you are trying to get at in the second part of your message, but it sounds completely untrue. This dude is mercilessly berated for dropping Lasers, Friend of The People, dubstep/electronic beats, and reusing the T.R.O.Y beat. There is no one in hip hop right now that gets more heat and criticism for everything they do besides him. The only people in the same league are Ross and 50 honestly. You have people acting like he never dropped quality material. You have people acting like everything he did before Lasers dropped never happened. Even his fans have called him on his hypocrisy :comeon:

Somebody had to say it, and he's 100% right. All this shyt these fad rappers make sounds the exact same and clowns hold this music to high standard. They not gonna say shyt back either, they dont want it with Lupe. His music has taken a hit but I'm sure he can snap out of it and hurt somebody career. And yes Kanye been trash since after WTT

dog, Lupe isn't even a big dog in the industry, he couldn't end anyone's career if he wanted, especially a nikka at Kanye's stature. Kanye is wack rapping, yes, but Lupe ain't got that Hit em up/Ether in his DNA, and def ain't got no political pull behind the scenes as apparent with the whole Lasers fiasco.

I can't believe dudes are so passionate about Lupe saying he's not a fan of a song. I co-sign that because I prefer the conscious, intellectual side of hip hop just as much as he does. Ya'll acting like he said Kanye sucks.

And this "He hasn't made good music in 5 years" thing is hive-minded bull shyt. Lasers was bad, but that isn't the only thing he's released since The Cool. Enemy of the State was a great mixtape, he's dropped several random singles, features and FOTP didn't vibe with some people but was overall received well. Even Lasers had some really good songs to be 100.

Let the future GOAT live. And like I said, Around My Way>>>>>the garbage Kanye's been dropping lately.

this sounds like a shot at 2 chainz more than kanye.

hip hop will be in a better state in a couple of years when most of these new rappers are forgotten

dude just voiced an opinion and rather than seeing it as a shot at ye or 2 chainz why not see it just as he said "i feel like a lot of whats being put out in hip hop right now is the same". dude makes a type of music that not many ppl are going for right now just like everybody else stays in their lane, u do that because you prefer it over what other cats are doing, its that simple.

"Flex, see i'm not controversial. But people ask me questions and I answer it.
It's like someone asks me what do you think of that glass of water and I answer "it looks dirty" and then they go off saying What??? You saying my momma can't wash dishes?" - Lupe

He put him ON a big ass single when only a few cats in the Chi and some very deep fans outside of Chicago know who he was. I would say The Roc Jay and Kanye put him on if anyone. Him being the first reason to why he got on and them being the 2nd. Only famous people included that is.
I didn't know who Lu was till I heard F&L

Its not like after the single he was getting hit up for features... I used to skip past his verse on Touch The Sky, he didn't fit at all
