, whatever tho, Thought is amazing too. I’d have Ransom on Tier 3, , no offense. Probably Sean too.
Kendrick is soulful and thought provoking. Extremely vulnerable and introspective. But technically speaking, his rhyme schemes are simple and he doesn’t rely heavily on literally devices comparatively to some rappers. To me, I still consider him to be a lyricist cause he’s thinking deeply about his message and story. To Lupe, he seems to separate that and the technicalities of lyricism. You can be rapping about stupid stuff but if you are pulling out advanced similes/ metaphors/ punchlines/ and rhyme schemes, he’d say that’s lyricism. Personally, I disagree but I can see where he’s coming from.
Kendrick is very intentional with his writing process but a lot of us older fans feel like he isn’t as sharp as he was in 2010-2015, especially around 2011-2013. Doesn’t seem as hungry
He addressed this in Poe Man's Dream
It’s dumb though because in the hip hop world it’s pretty consensus between fans and talking heads that Lupe is more skilled than Kendrick. Idk what he’s trying to prove
People used to tweet to him asking his thoughts on Kendrick and he was always a fan until Control dropped. Sometime after there he started this idea that Kendrick was overrated, even though he even gave him props on stage before
After control he liked it but dropped a response
He's also notably a fan of TPAB Ofc
Since like 2016 he keeps tweeting every once in a while talking about Kendrick, responding to people saying Kendrick would best him in a rap beef etc. He's really got a problem with the idea Kendrick is a better rapper than him (which is fine) but he's overcorrected to now where he's basically a fan of Drake simply because he's got this secret beef with Kendrick since control.
Even at one point saying fukking Logic is better than Kendrick
but at the same time he's clearly still a fan
Lupe just jealous because he knows he'd obviously best Kendrick in a 1v1 beef but Kendrick will never take that bait because there's no real reason to, and because of that everyone looks at Kendrick as the top lyricist.
This is exactly what happened, and I can't blame Lupe for feeling that way. Lupe feels that he is one of the best and better than Kendrick and has every right to feel that way. It's the same way Kendrick probably feels when people put Drake against him. Shyt is competition at the end of the day.So basically random twitter fans gaslit Lupe into hating kendrick?
Pretty much. A lot of these dudes are weak mentally when you really break em down. Lupe overall just seems like a miserable human being.So basically random twitter fans gaslit Lupe into hating kendrick?
