Lupe Fiasco “kendrick is not a top tier lyricist to me”

[Billy Ocean]

People are in here saying nobody ever has quoted or listen to Lupe in real life. Kendrick is a current superstar.

Listen to this from the 23:00 mark onward. Cole and Kendrick's names are forced into the convo. Listen to Meek's reply



nikkas don't like Lupe, cool. Y'all be giving his legacy too little credit tho.

Breh pseodo intellectual garbage, bro. Some people gotta bring some truth to balance it out with y'all delusional stans in here.

 

[EndDomination]

I was listening to Aries Spears talk about top-tier lyricism.
Kendrick Lamar is definitely top if we're looking into pure story-telling ability, as well as experimental hip-hop.
If we're talking punchline bars, he's behind Fred the Godson and a lot of others.
But even in the top-10, there aren't too many artists who can tell a story better than Kendrick

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

What Lupe really wanted to say is stop putting this sub par nikka above me, but he would be called a bitter hater if he kept it a 1000.

 

[GreenGhxst]

That’s because you don’t listen to Lupe.

Kendrick's a better artist, Lupe is a better lyricist if we're talkin metaphors, punchlines and all the bullshyt that make people jump up and down when they hear

Breh pseodo intellectual garbage, bro. Some people gotta bring some truth to balance it out with y'all delusional stans in here.

How much of Lupe’s music is pseudo intellectual garbage?

50%? From Food & Liquor onwards?

No noteworthy songs in his catalog?

Facts

I BEEN saying this on here

Hes a hipster hypebeast industry plant

 

[NoHalfWay]

Kendrick's a better artist, Lupe is a better lyricist if we're talkin metaphors, punchlines and all the bullshyt that make people jump up and down when they hear

You said he’s a better poet. Lupe’s a better poet than Kendrick.

He’s a better street reporter. A better storyteller too, just as vivid the imagery.

At they’re absolute best I have Lupe above Kendrick artistically. But Kendrick is by far the more consistent artist.

Cole and Kendrick are top lyricists because they can tell stories that are easy to consume for the public. They can get a message across simply.

 

[boskey]

Lupe had his shot and blew it. His industry issues didn’t help but he was never trending to the type of status Kendrick has. He had hype and cosigns from Kanye, Hov and Pharrell but he just didn’t have the records that Kendrick has consistently been able to produce.

Nothing on F&L or The Cool measures up to Alright, Sing About Me, Money Teees, Kill My Vibe, Poetic Justice, Humble

Storytelling >>>>>> punchlines, entendres and puns

 

[Insensitive]

See this is what I'm saying. How do you know dudes were just arbitrarily posting rhymes without thinking they're dope? Those verses were dope and even a Lupe fan in here admitted he hears people qoute Kendrick all the time. shyt like this is why dudes don't fukk with Lupe. His stans are almost as pretentious as he is.

His stans are straight up pretentious condescending pseudo intellects who really believe
that you need a degree from harvard to "get" Lupe Fiasco. He prides himself on being "smart"
but regularly espouses the dumbest self informed bullshyt whenever given the chance to.

He's a great rapper, I genuinely believe that, but what I don't believe is that dude is some secretly
brilliant revolutionary.

He's Canibus with a bigger budget and more chances to completely and utterly fail.


**For the record, I like both Canibus and Lupe fiasco but the stannery on The Coli
is just

 

[Tonbo]

I didn't think Kendrick would be so unpopular on here

No he's not, Do You know the writing structures of Poets, how Poets write and use words.

Kendrick is a storyteller Poet. Listen to Common, Tupac and some Melle Mel read their rhyme schemes is written like a poem

Keep forcing it

Kendrick is a better artist because he understands musicality better. Lupe has a weak voice, people have a love/hate with Kendrick’s voice but it is def unique.

About 95% from F&L onward. The other 5 is pop leaning crap.

I like Mural, but it's overrated as fukk.
