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

[SirBiatch]

i have a huge dislike when people talk about "sonics". One of the greatest, shyttiest mixed albums of all time in hip hop is Enter the stage. Are you telling me that because Future records in million dollar studios with hundred thousand dollar SSL boards, and it "sonically" is better than Enter the Stage, it's a better album? One of bruce Springsteen's best albums was recorded as a demo on a 4 track cassette tape and he just sent that to be mastered.

"sonics" is a thing pop-leaning, pretend-hip hop fans always force in hip hop convo. They like their music scrubbed of grit and uniqueness.

at loving a hip hop record for how clean it sounds.

U pick his worst linea. Cole is far from trash

Prove it

 

[SirBiatch]

Drake 100% has more bars than kendrick.

We can go bar for bar too

He's not about that life. No Kendrick stan is

You would lose going bar for bar. Drake has no bars period. Neither does his ghostwriter

post top 5 Kendrick bars, then.

Not whole verses, whole songs and typical dumb shyt. One line per bar (2 lines max).

Let's go

And we still haven't heard from @JYoung24, which proves what I said all along

Prove it

Don't expect a response. Seems like he has a habit of going mute when asked to show and prove

 

[LJLYDK!]

Lupe's allowed an opinion, but he's wrong.

I already posted a kendrick verse

 

[SirBiatch]

I already posted a kendrick verse

verse is not 'bar for bar' breh. You already know this. Don't play dumb now

Since @wingstop said 'we can go bar for bar', you've quoted both him and me swearing Kendrick is superior bar for bar yet you haven't posted a single bar

Anyway, I'm not expecting any bars. You'll go mute or deflect. It's the usual tired play

why does this have 1000 replies?

Lupe hasn't made an impact since The Cool

I thought lasers went plat but gold is great regardless in this era. I dont give a shyt about record sales either but yall making lupe seem like his career is some type of failure

You're moving the goal post all over the place.

First off, he didn't go gold in "this era". The last album of his that went gold was "Lasers", which came out 7 years ago. This was when Wayne was doing 940k first week, before all the streaming nonsense started. Gold wasn't some kind of groundbreaking achievement in 2011.

Secondly, I never said anything about his career being a failure. I said he made attempts to cross over and failed, so it's disingenuous as fukk to call out Kendrick for being pop.

Let's go

And nine times out of ten nikkas don't pay attention
And when there's tension in the air nines come with extensions

Now you can rock it up or sell it soft as leather interior
Drop some ice cubes in it, Deebo on perimeter"

I know some rappers using big words to make they similes curve
My simplest shyt be more pivotal

I got my finger on the motherfukking pistol
aiming it at a pig, Charlotte's Web is gonna miss you

My issue isn't televised, and you ain't gotta tell the wise
how to stay on beat, because our life's an instrumental

It's kinda scary ain't it
You can't act like no bytch, that only got Tyler Perry famous

*A rich nikka buy anything you sell him
A broke nikka believe anything that you tell him*

Jump in the booth, then shatter every rapper's dream
They jump in a sauna because I killed their self-esteem

How many nikkas get mistaken for clitoris in a day?
How many sentiments you make before running p*ssy away?

ou nikkas Marcus Camby, washed up
p*ssy fix your panties, I'm Mr. Marcus, you getting fukked

Love is not just a verb and I can see power steering
Sex drive when you swerve, I want that interference



This dikk aint free

Black man taking no losses

I don't smock crack muthafukka I sell it

We gon be Alright

Gold in 2011 was big too records sells started dropping in like 04 or 05 and his attempts to crossover was not a failure he had hits

Death to the imposters, label me the king
My dreams could win Oscars, my nikkas turned mobsters

Because T&Y is a damn near Classic album and his legacy of greatness is set in stone.

People value his opinion in the culture
