No...I don't hate. A nikka put a gun to 99% of rap fans mother's head and says "this broad dead unless you can spit me a Lupe rhyme!"...say RIP to that nikka's moms
Of course but it’s not like nikkas don’t listen to Lu

I don't give a fukk about who can quote who outside. I bring it up cause y'all geeky Lupe stans looooove to point out how nobody can quote Kendrick like anybody really can quote Lupe.
So there now what?

You don't have to be a punchline rapper to be great
but you gotta have em. it's a part of wordplay and without it bragging in rhymes just becomes monotonous
Most don't. Why y'all trying to act like y'all don't know this?

kanye came out in 2004 with his first album. hot albums dropped constantly from 2000-2003 before Kanye ever had a release.
Blueprint 2001
Stillmatic 2001
Quality 2002
Marshal Mathers LP 2000
The listening 2003
Lord Willing 2002
The future is now 2002
chronic 2001 came out the end of 99. The worst part about the early 2000s was when crunk music, reggaetone, and snap music came on the scene. That shyt was trash, but it left as fast as it came. Thsi trash shyt has been here for a while and it's not going anywhere any time soon. I'm not from NY. I'm from the south and I listen to music from all coasts. I listen to stuff you don't even know existed. As for that "new era" Kanye ushered in, Little Brother was doing it in 2002 before him. That type of music. Their album was released in Germany in december of 2002(where I bought it) but officially in the states early 2003. I'll say it once again, to talk hip hop, you 've got to know it and a lot of music knowldge from people on this site started arond 2004. When I hear dudes talk about, "I grew up on Jay Z and Nas" I know they're young. I was 19 when Jay dropped his first album. I don't look at myself as an old guy. I don't down the youth like so many others. I talk with them and reason with them to show them that nothing they're seeing is really new cuz older people did it with me when I was young. Like when a dude in college said Kendrick is top 5 greatest all time cuz he's the current most popular rapper in a bs era, I had to explain to him that once upon a time, Special Ed , along with Kane, were the 2 hottest dudes in Brooklyn. Special Ed took a break after releasing 2 hot albums, came back in 95 with a bs album and a curly afro and we didn't hear from him again until Snoop put him and Prodigy on a song together on the Doggy all stars. Greatness comes with time. I never in my life of listening to music saw albums get called classics the first day they dropped. wtf is that about? haha
No you don't have to have them. Pac, Nas, Cube, Ghost, Prodigy and a litany of the greatest rappers of all time rarely used punchlines.
Word play and punchlines are two different things Bruh
I NEVER claimed or implied he doesn't have fans
shyt, I'm addressing y'all in here.
I bring up the who can quote who thing outside because dudes on this board kill me with that corny ass "ohhhhh, but who can quote Kendrick" bullshyt.

I hate that Kendrick don’t got quotable BS cause I hear nikkas quote him often
But Lupe ain’t in the mainstream rn so the average rap fan probably won’t be able to quote him, just like any other rapper like him
