Lupe is nice but he's not as musically smart, creative or original as Kendrick, which is why he'll never be able to drop projects like Kendrick. Except if you run low on brain cells and find anything that's not stupid super smart.

Food and Liqour and The Cool are both solid 8.5/10 albums, he lacks something that could push him up to that other level. I think it's about being more musical or working with producers that are. That's definitely something that has hindered Cole, a lot more than Lupe.

The unknown
To this day I still don't understand how The Cool (the song) didn't have an anime to go with the song :mjcry:

"Not at all nervous as he dug to the surface
Tarnished gold chain is what he loosened up the earth with
He used his mouth as a shovel to try and hollow it
And when he couldn't dirt-spit, he swallowed it, working like a
Hmmm reverse archaeologist
Except, his buried treasure was sunshine
So when some shined through a hole that he had drove
It reflected off the gold and almost made son blind"

:wow:

Kendrick borrows from Lupe conceptually and Lupe is more musically inclined of the 2

We don't believe you you need more people!!!

Wtf? Smart creative or original? Have you not listened to lupe before? What's more original and creative than making an album you could either listen to forward or backwards and it'll tell different stories(multiple) either way. Smart? Kendrick couldn't make a failure or mural. How are you going to say he's not smart enough then say he has to make something that's not super smart.

Let Kendrick continue talking about crushing a taco with a prosthetic hand and his competition being beautician brehs.
:what:

Lupe Fiasco fans with their reaching, reading articles from some dweeb and all of a suddenly T&Y is Einsteins last unpublished paper.

No one said that he isn't smart and original, I said not musically smart and not original enough.

Just cause Einstein was smart doesn't mean that he could understand what flow goes with what beat, which delivery that suits the emotion he's trying to convey optimized with a certain flow to match the perfect beat etc . How great beats sound. Imo that's what he lacks to be able to box with Kendrick. Now I know that Lupe stans are some of the corniest stans in music, the Beyhive might be the only ones above y'all l. So I do not expect unbiased discussions with dukes and I will not try to have one.

Criticize Drakes latest performance = Discussion.

Criticize Lupes shortcomings = Angry birds twisting words, negs and more angry posts :mjlol:


And need of more people? Check the reviews boy.

Lupe has never done something as retarded as editing 2pacs words to create a fake interview :mjlol:

Facts. And he washed Jay on his debut album.... :sas2:

The Cool is a top 5 album of all time so no need to elaborate on that.

Lu is quietly in GOAT consideration, no hyperbole. I think once this current generation goes through his catalogue he will finally get his just due.

:mjlol: @ anything that wack ass, bean pie bars spitting, smart dumb nikka 16's writing, nonlyrical, miracle, spiritual fukk boy Lupgay Fagsco aka Toupee Fiasco being capable of approaching even the worst album from the GOAT Hov

Lupgay's struggle S. Carter impression wouldn't even be possible if the GOAT Hov ain't give him a style to run with :mjlol:

Too bad he tripped, fell and bussed his grill b4 even making it out the starting block with said style :mjlol:

:mjlol:

you a funny nikka but let's not act like the springsteen of 16's didn't rip hov a new one on pressure

fahrenheit 1 & 15th - enemy of the state were grade a bars

I wouldn't compare any of his albums to RD but Lu is in my top 10 all time :smugdraper:

Thanks for clarifying cuz you had lost me for a second. I see what you're saying.

To Kendrick's credit, he has worked with some of the best producers and musicians around to masterfully craft the cohesive sound of his last LP. Many musically inclined people can appreciate TPAB for the production itself, K Dot really has a ear for the sound he needs while Lupe has struggled with production at times.

That's only a part of the story tho...
