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

[DaHNIC82]

Why people in here saying this? Did I miss something? Who's these MCs Lupe has destroyed in battle?


Kendrick >>>>>>> Lupe.

His Control response was the worst of the whole batch and laughably bad.

These Lupe stans are terrible

 

[Trilogy]

Lupe don't got anything that rides harder than "Money Trees"

This is also right

Also can someone please tell me who's this Top 5 ever rapper that was/is considered a punchline rapper?

you can quote kane, rakim, and Krs for DAYS. i know chicks from NY that are in their 40s and 50s can still quote Rakim. And when you say "punchline" rapper, you're referring to those backpacking dudes from the early 2000s. I'm talking about lyrically gifted mcs that get down. What are some of your favorite Kendrick Quotes. surely you or anyone else can give us five 2 or 4 bar sequences that will make us go "damn, that was ill..".

Listen to his mixtapes

Bars are bars...You display them on albums, tapes & features because you have them to give...I've heard enough

 

[Detroit_blue]

Jay z is a punch line nikka
Redman
Jadakiss
Big l
Kane

Everybody build up should lead somewhere. Dog just be rapping words

so it's "hate" when you don't praise someone that everyone else is? You guys need to learn what "hate" is. It's really a word today that's used when people want to escape criticism. If you say someone is "hating" it's a good way to get them to stop talking about you. I just wish that word would go away. And when his hype dies down, you guys will forget about him like you have 50 cent, Ja Rule, and Jeezy.

It's "hate" because if we're judging Kendrick the same way we judge all the other MCs who get or have gotten critical acclaim it's at the point where you have to give him his props. How can you claim you love Hip Hop and NOT like a MC who has dropped damn near flawless HIP HOP projects from jump? nikkas is hating. And the main nikkas hating is nerd Lupe stans jealous that their hero ain't getting love by the masses like Kenny. I'm sorry, tell ya boy to make better music and then the praise gon come.

takes a bunch of words that rhyme, jumble them together real fast but when you actually try to decipher it, it's really not deep at all and he's not saying anything slick or clever.

shyt is crazy, bro. I always considered Eminem to be the most overrated rapper ever but on this site Lupe probably is.

Who are u talking about?

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Thi should NOT erupt a Lupe vs Kendrick fan war.

Both are different & uncomparable.

We should just be happy we have both.

i think lupe and KL are both good mcs, but i can't listen to either one of them consistently. Not my cup of tea, but I think they're dope, but lyrically, Lupe is better. I want those quotes. We can end all of this if someone just posts some ill azz, hit the rewind button, "dead in the middle of little italy: or "it gets tedious/ so I keep one eye open like CBS" kendrick shyt that I've never heard. I'm not saying he doesn't have it, but how is the greatest rapper alive and top 5 all time unquotable. U call it hating, I gonna call it, "show me I'm lying.."

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

Who are u talking about?

Kendrick..

Just like the "control" verse. it really wasn't that hot. he just threw a bunch of rappers names out there and said he wants to go at them(not literally) to prove he's the best and mfs went crazy over that? for real? Just like Drake and Meek Mill's diss records. Cam and Mase put up a far better battle lyrically than Drake and Meek, and these dudes are in my age bracket.

When people like to pick who is the best rapper of all time...it has do with their actual ability to rap...not really has anything to do with their "musical" ability...

So you'll get names like Big Pun, Jay Z, Eminem, Big L, Nas, BDK, Kool G Rap, Biggie

Eminem, Big Pun, Jay Z and Big L are considered punchline rappers...

----------------------------------------

I'll never get the Kendrick Lamar hate, since it seems like it's just because he's popular....

Kendrick Lamar makes the best Hip Hop music out of this generation...and his conceptual and storytelling skills are amazing...

He made two of the best albums of all time in any genre...without having 10 writers on a track. He actually did the traditional way of just writing your shyt and actually saying fukking words and rhyming them together without hella autotune and reverb and adlibs...

That's really all that matters at the end of the day...

You forget Mos Def backing down from Lupe ?

J.Cole was quick to sub Kanye but when Lupe responded...zilch

Kendrick got it too with SLRII ...zilch but ain't hesitate to hit back at Sean...

Budden deflected to talking about Video games ...
