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

[Billy Ocean]

He punked Mos out of a battle

Name the rapper he has bested in battle. Thanks in advance.

Big L the only dude you named there that is considered a punchline rapper. Stop it. And if you're saying these rappers are considered great mostly by their ability to rap than you have to consider that Kendrick is doing something people are liking. Really liking. Breh can rap. fukk if some of y'all can't quote his shyt.

the thing is, you can't quote it either . I'm telling you that I can't. I put that responsibility on all of you. Cuz if I tell you I think a nikka great, you better believe I can rattle off 10 quotes instantly without googling.

 

[Kaypain]

Still waiting on that album Lupe

 

[Billy Ocean]

Jay Z, Eminem are considered punchline rappers...

Punchline rappers exist in the mainstream....

And Kendrick isn't really measured by his ability to rap, he's measured by his ability to make great albums and storytelling


Kendrick doesn't drop "bars"

Which is fine...

Jay-Z and Eminem are not considered punchline rappers. Maybe some considered or still consider Em a battle rapper because of his background in battle rap but he isn't considered a punchline rapper. Big L, Fab, Banks...those dudes are considered punchline rappers.

yeah sure, if top tier lyricist = ONLY punchlines, then kendrick isn't a top tier lyricist. but being a top tier lyricist is so much more than just punchlines.

and rappers still mentioning Control verse 5 years later

I

These Kendrick stand man..

Better than this?

Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life CD 1 & 2 (Northern Star 32bit Remaster): Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life CD 1 & 2 (Northern Star 32bit Remaster) - YouTube

Or this album



Wait let's take it somewhere else



Or

Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele: Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele - YouTube

What about



Or



Across all genres huh?

Y'all Kendrick stans

I've already told these dudes this album isn't even a top 10 west coast album all time and I couldn't even sucker them into getting me to prove it. They just left it alone. For starters you got 2 NWA albums(I left out the EP. I'll be fair), Ice cube's first 3 full lengths, both chronics, and doggystyle. And i'm just scratching the surface. Anyone want to debate why anything KL has done is better than any of those albums? His albums come and go. they barely live in internet communities a year after being released.

Y'all Kendrick stans

I guess you don't know what the word albums and across multiple genres mean if you gonna list other best albums of all time and then say is it better...which kinda implies there is only one album of all time...

And just because YOU don't recognize it doesn't mean it's not considered the best...

Good Kid Mad City and To Pimp a Butterfly....especially To Pimp a Butterfly is universally recognized as one of the greatest albums of all time...

I am not even a Kendrick stan...but he's making the best Hip Hop music of this generation and I ain't stupid enough to argue against that...

no one screenshot the tweets?

Lupe is a weird cat to me. And im a fan of the nikka. Its like dude has “mental revelations” every other year that makes him smarter than everyone else. nikka has literally dikkrode IWW for the whole first half of his career and for him to just say “no” without even explaining why he changed his stance is another window into how pretentious dude can be.

Breh, the weirdo just literally a few days ago tweeted that he's smarter than dudes and posted his IQ score. Dude is a pretentious prick who patronizes his listeners. These dudes can keep that nerdo rap. Ain't for me

 

[Cadillac]

Nice. I like the old man smiley. Creative. Next time hit me with the Larry Holmes. That'll show me.

And you're wrong. When I step outside some of the shyt I see propagated on this board is not even remotely witnessed on the street. NOBODY listens to Lupe or can quote him. Sorry. Facts is facts.

Superstar went plat in the streams so somebody is listening to him.

Name the rapper he has bested in battle. Thanks in advance.

nikka he punked out Mos def out of battling that speaks alot and is something to behold as much as him actually destroying someone.

And recently u can say his text battle with Daylyt. Many I have seen say he won

 

[Cynic]

This nikka still ain't answer my question. Where is this rapper Lupe has destroyed in battle?

If opponents are shying away ...what does that tell you ?

Nice. I like the old man smiley. Creative. Next time hit me with the Larry Holmes. That'll show me.

Your attempt at sarcasm was terrible. Next time try watching British comedy or something

You care way too much about "the streets" and "people outside". If you don't like Lupe then so be it.

Who needs external validation to justify their own taste except highschool kids ?

The Kendrick hate on this site is weird as hell to me. Not even his biggest fan but objectively he's the only MC from the past 10 years that can comfortably fit in a Top 10 ever list, based on his consistently great Hip Hop music.

It's also weird how dudes deify this overrated, patronizing weirdo Lupe.

Just weird all around. Weirdo shyt. That's the shyt I don't like.

The Coli hates Kendrick just like they hate Lebron, two instances I don't get


Lupe the reason I become a Kendrick fan in the first place.

But I agree with Lupe to an extent

Kendrick can write dope shyt when HE WANTS TO

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

nikkas on here will call that wack like any bar you throw at them

This sums up Kendrick to me

You want lyrical Kendrick listen to some Section 80 or Kendrick Lamar LP shyt

He needs to go back to his roots, that West Coast sound

But Kendrick is more than a rapper, that nikka is a musician


Lupe my favorite rapper, he periodically does this shyt, why I don't' know? We already know you think Kendrick isn't a top tier lyricist

Now drop the album nikka

 

[Renegade47]

the only thing I'm gonna say is...

Black Friday was more lyrical than any track on Kendricks album

I don't understand why rappers leave the best stuff off their album or release hotter sh1t for free

drake always leaves his best songs off his albums im not even a drake fan and that pisses me off

Don't tell me he deleted all the tweets

Don't tell me he deleted all the tweets

Just like he deletes his album release dates
