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

[ReasonableMatic]

The same nikkas using Scarface bars to exploit how wack Lupe is lyrically... If you told them how Face felt so compelled to tweet about how crazy Mural was the nikkas wouldn’t believe it

 

[NoHalfWay]

Food and Liquor has better production than GKMC.

Yep

Soundtrakk > Sounwave

Even Kendrick’s producer’s name bites Lupe’s producer’s name

Spoiler

 

[hex]

Matter of fact, I'm at the turn the thread took. With people talking about "Kendrick is a pop star!"

Did you fools forget Lupe had a song on the "Twilight" sound track?

The god damn "Twilight" soundtrack.



If you want to talk about how pop Kendrick is but the fact of the matter is Lupe tried to sell out, and failed. So that angle don't make much sense to use against Kendrick.

“B-bu-but that nerd shyt”

How the hell nikkas on the coli citing Face lyrics as to why Lupe is wack meanwhile Face is somewhere slapping Mural

Only on the coli

Like I’ve been saying if you gonna come at Lupe criticize the weak production featured in his catalog cuz y’all can’t have it both ways

He’s had some weak bars and mailed in shyt like many top tier rappers on rare occasions, but the general consensus is he’s a beast on the mic

 

[You Win Perfect]

he isn't. I swear i listen to his shyt and TRY to like it cuz at one point, I thought it was just me. I thought I was the only hip hop fan in amerikka who though this guy was severely overrated. I listen to a song like this and wonder why everyone think it's one of the greatest things ever and I don't.


but then I realized that Aftermath was behind him

song and video were unbearable

Look at Pop Star Lu

Wearing Shades, roll up tight jacket, dancing in glitter and shyt, white women models

White Executives at Atlantic told him, look nikka boy we still paying Jay Z for your last album and you still didn't recoup, you making a pop record....after blatantly attempting pop he still went Gold

The biggest Global Mainstream Pop Movie Franchise Soundtrack and couldn't get new fans

While Kendrick Lamar got Disney to drop Marvel The Black Panther Soundtrack on TDE/Aftermath/Interscope Records

Basically The Soundtrack is a Kendrick Lamar Album

King Kunta wins again

 

[The Exchanges]

How did lasers fail when it was his highest selling album

Lasers was doo doo.

It’s what made me stop listening to him.

 

[Renegade47]

Andre 3000 ain't have quotables either
it's not his rap style

wtf

 

[Meowth tote da Uzi]

I was saying this to a coworker the other day. Nothing Kendrick has ever said makes me go oooooohhhhh

I just played Lupe Solar Midnite track for The Twilight Soundtrack

Lupe should be ashamed of himself

That nikka is 0 for a 100 in his pop attempts

I see why Atlantic Records hold his shyt hostage, he just couldn't get it right

Lupe has grammy noms and platinum plaques from his “pop” attempts before atlantic. The least u nikkas could do is get the hate right. Also. Kendrick could do metaphors and similes if he wanted to. He’s done it before. shyt. His verse on that unreleased song wit him and J Cole.

 

[HeruDat1]

"Top tier lyricist"

Lupe couldnt get a 20 page thread on his music without Kendrick name being attached.

Its no problem what he said, it just dont matter cause we want to hear good music. Lupe time up.

The plat plaque is world wide, he barely went Gold with album in the states

What is Gold when Atlantic spent millions on advertisement, videos, studio time, air time on television, they brought in Jay Z, Jay Z ain't cheap nikka

 

[Benefited]

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.

How long did Jay have a relationship with Beanie Sigel?
I'm not questioning they respect Lupes pen game,but Jay has relationships with a lot of nikkas and respects they pen game

Im questioning the outward nature of the cosigns,the cosigns were blaytantly for the public to see and take notice of as they were planned and strategic,not organic. Those guys in that video who cosigned Kendrick probably knew him too,doesn't mean that event wasn't staged now does it?

And I did mention those songs in saying that those artist respect Kendrick for his artistry,and those features came off the tail end of TPAB which wasn't a pop reach at all. Thats different then Lupe making reaches with pop records in order to go pop. Songs like Kick Push,Superstar,Show Goes On and now I'm seein this horrible Twighlight song,those songs were not of or for the culure.

Plus where was the obvious pop reach with that U2 song on his album?
