The Game was never the same when this was dropped
an overrated verse with like 3 dope bars and the rest of it being filler

Rule #1 - when your album sells to casuals at the expense of your core, watch out because you're in for a dip. Your career will be over unless you can re-energize your core.
Drake 100% has more bars than kendrick.
We can bar for bar too
He's not about that life. No Kendrick stan is
Food and Liquor has better production than GKMC.

You don't even believe that shyt, The Cool Production was way better Than Food and Liquor and F&L is not sonically better than GKMC
But let's talk how T&Y sonically sounds like a TDE album

waterproof I know you're the resident Kendrick dikkrider but relax. The beat produced songs on GKMC are better than the best on Food and Liquor but I take FNL overall. GKMC has songs like the intro that are boring primarily because of the music. Real is boring as hell too, etc. GKMC is the worst of the 3 major Kendrick albums. And the Cool does not have better production than F and L. It just had better singles.
On the back of cosigns and pop hits,not on pure musicality.
That has to eat Lupe fans up that Kendrick is out here becoming a superstar based on genius,lyricism and music instead of just cosigns and pop reaches.

A Kendrick stanley accusing another rapper of being cosign-dependent and poppy is the funniest shyt I've read all day

There's one person already blasting Kendrick Lamar's just-released album, To Pimp a Butterfly. That person? Taylor Swift.
"KENDRICK PUT HIS ALBUM OUT EARLY," she wrote on Mar. 16. "NO ONE TOUCH ME."
This is hardly the first time Swift has proclaimed her fandom for the rapper. In an interview with Rolling Stone last year, she shared that Lamar's music helps her go from feeling "victimized" to "awesome." She further noted that her "go-to" Kendrick track is "Backseat Freestyle" from his 2012 album."
That was organic unlike those Lupe cosigns,Jay ain't just cosigning AND executive producing projects without a check being cut,Atlantic probably still paying him til this day. You had Kendrick doing features AFTER to TPAB on the strength they appreciated his artistry. Do you think people like George Clinton and David Bowie were just lying?
"Longtime Bowie producer Tony Visconti explained to Rolling Stone, “We were listening to a lot of Kendrick Lamar. We wound up with nothing like that, but we loved the fact Kendrick was so open-minded and he didn’t do a straight-up hip-hop record. He threw everything on there, and that’s exactly what we wanted to do. The goal, in many, many ways, was to avoid rock & roll.”
"We hung out during the video for “Ain’t That Funkin’…” and we’ve been in touch getting ready to release it, but he’s number one right now! It’s hard as hell to be in that position with so much attention, but he’s got a good team around him. It’s hard to deal with and still try to be creative at the same time, but he has that in check. The only other person I’ve seen do it like that before is Prince!"-George Clinton
These are other artist appreciating Kendricks artistry! Who has been given as many compliments and cosigns from legends inside and outside of hiphop? NOBODY!. I don't think you guys realize how big that is,and no I don't think Kendrick is the GOAT by any means,or is he sniffing my top 10 btw. But comparing him to Lupe Fiasco
? Kendrick took his manufactured cosign from Snoop,Game and them,and ran with it and put out pure hiphop.His singles off DAMN are hiphop at its purest,for the culture,and not outside forces. Can't say the same for a song about skate boarding,Superstar and Show Goes On
The singles that REALLY pushed his sales,which is my main point.Kendricks albums aren't garnering attention due to pop reaches like those,nor is that where his sales are mainly coming from.
No he don't. Lupe got two gold albums, that's it. Check RIAA.
Record sales, plaques and all that shyt don't even matter either way but let's not start making shyt up.

see how you skipped over the maroon 5 and sia joints? and u2? and that horrible bad blood track?
and hov and lupe have had a relationship since 2002
the reason lupe signed to atlantic was because jay z said he was gone be the president over there and wanted him there with him but he got a better deal and went somewhere else
so that jay z cosign was geniune as can be.
