Lupe Fiasco Denies Apologizing To Kendrick Lamar In 2018

[Not Crodie]

Lupe Fiasco's discography is not seeing Kendrick Lamar's in any capacity.

Dude is literally the 2024 Canibus and is relegated to forum posts where his mediocre
song writing is spoken of in whispers.

A perfect example of early aughts pseudointellectualism masquerading as deeper than
it really is.

A musician who has effectively been stuck in a rut since 2007 and has remade failure six or seven times
with each remake worst and more obtuse than the last.

It's music for the kinds of special snowflake brehs who read Ta-Nehisis Coates and watch T1J on youtube
and can't wait Black-splain to their captive all white audience about the nuances of Hip-Hop and Blackness while
largely keeping no black company themselves.

The type of uncultured brehs to spaz over Lupe fiasco doing the shyttiest Sound Garden imitation:



fukking mediocre.

I remember TheColi unironically hyping this shyt up now years later we get "Yeah TPAB Is TOO BLACK, only WHITE LIBERALS like it".



Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda want their style back.




On Lupe Vs Mos


at this point, it's like issuing a challenge to Andre 3k.


shyt is like going to an old folks home and pressing a retired boxer.


"Yeah bro, I was so hard when I pressed that geriatric breh, he didn't even try and fight back!">

Correct but then again Lupe ain't a threat to anybody. Besides the entendres Lupe hasn't mastered the other aspects of lyricism and he's definitely the weakest "respected mcee" when it comes to music.

Lupe has some stinkers for sure but his first two albums and t & y can sit with any kendrick album.

Billy ocean new account?

Everyone loves lupe to death except for @Billy Ocean , Guess that's why his records are flying off the shelves


You're honestly one of the worst but in the meantime for having 100 replies in the Mr. morale thread, Truly overly dedicated

As for the rest I was on no sleep(still am), This has never been my m.o. so I apologize to you lil bytches (no J. Fold)

As predicted, deflection and juelzing @NoHalfWay you cool wit me and you're right, next time I'll start with softball questions
I expected at least one excuse but you cannot dispute a fact word to art barr
Lupe ducked smoke repeatedly

Time to get real in 2024, Lupe to Dot is like a flee to an elephants ball sack


When kdot was blowing up and Lupita was relevant that's when he got challenged and could have got busy
He chose not to so all these hypothetical scenarios are meaningless.

If he wants to get muddy any hardcore emcee that never went pop could potentially serve him, Go find him another imaginary rival.

They can't, objectively.
None of lupe album are cracking the hall of fame of albums in music history, in any genre.
Kendrick not only have some of the most acclaimed albums in rap history, but dude legit has TPAB, an album acclaimed as one of the very best albums in MUSIC period
We're not talking about personal preferences here, we're not asking you what you subjectively enjoyed more.


At this point its like comparing Common Be (a classic, a great rap album) to Prince, Nina S or radiohead's best album...you know be is never going to be mentionned as a top 10 album ever made in music history lol. Kendrick has albums in that discussion though.

This. People on thecoli usually confuse "quality" / "consensus" with what the shyt they subjectively fukk with.
I love Lupe, I really do, and he does have great albums, but not great to the point where they'd be considered true musical masterpieces like Kdot's albums

The Cool & F&l don't rank with the likes of TPAB, Illmatic, MBDTF,

Lupe was always in those discussions though so im not seeing your point. His first two albums were critically acclaimed and he has some of the biggest co signs any rapper could get. When Nas say Lupe is him, what is there left to discuss?

Sure, Lupe never reached the commercial heights as Kendrick, for various different reasons. But the rapping ability and those two albums alone were always respected and held to high regard. People just dont like Lupe as a person and that often times dictates the perception of him. Like example Lupe was getting clowned for the samurai martial arts shyt but everybody thought Kendrick was super innovative for that kung fu kenny shyt.

 

[It is a mystery]

People in here talking about Lupe didnt go all out after a throwaway song bar from Kendrick in 2010
That predates kdots debut album

You gotta be a dedicated hater to be holding on to that in 2024. I'm both a Kendrick and Lupe fan but come on breh Kendrick probably doesn't even remember saying that and Lupe has likely never heard it

Lupe albums are only critically acclaimed in hip hop, kendrick albums are both acclaimed as rap albums but even more so as music albums for their musical composition. Tpab is literally praised for having some of the best jazz elements we've heard to the point where a legend like Herbie Hancock tried to make his own TPAB featuring kendrick's collaborators.

Here's the huge difference. It has nothing to do with commercial success.

I agree with the dude, you can't compare them, you just can't. Lupe albums also aren't acclaimed to the point where as rap albums they would enter the pantheon like Illmatic.
It's also valid for kdot albums though, you can't compare gkmc to tpab either, gkmc is an amazing rap album, but it doesn't have half the considerations TPAB is getting as an "album" (not just rap)

No offense but 1) it's not on the same level of acclaim amongst rap critics and 2) lupe records never transcended rap music. You'll never see any critic, music lover, expert, musician talking about the good notes, the scales scales, the syncopation, the polyrhythms, the keys, the composition on a lupe album. Matter of fact, all his albums have major musical flaws despite him having great rapping on them.

This is a rap forum and I understand damn well rapping matters the most on here, but you are not allowed to claim lupe's first 2 albums can play in the same league as kendrick's albums. Kendrick is not a dude that just rap over a beat and then add a few choruses.

Lupe answered the control verse when that was going on. Kendrick don’t want that kinda smoke. To be fair theres not much to gain in a war vs Lupe. Way more to gain vs Cole and Drake since those are the clear 3 of there era.

Lol nah Kendrick ducks smoke

Drake has dissed rappers below him and rappers past their primes

This is just another pass dude gets

 

[Nuuko]

lol at expecting kdot to respond to the 3000 tracks that dropped after control. Dot ain't ducking anybody.

Nikkas tryna change history. We had a battle between 2 classic albums and Lupe won the round with 56% of the votes.

Lupes catalogue—————> kendrick.

 

[derro13]

Drake has dissed rappers below him and rappers past their primes but never rappers above him or in the same league.
That says a lot..............

Kendrick HAS NOT DROPPED A DISS TRACK

He has only thrown shots for 10 years

The Kendrick bots are at it again hahahaha

That’s a god damn lie

Qnsfinest in here trying to change history.

Kendrick's catalog >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lupe and it's not close to being close
