Huge Lupe fan, trust Lupe is definitely jealous of Kendricks success. Kendrick is easier to listen to, while still making thoughtful tracks. Dude definitely has skills
Of course lyrically, Kendrick ain't messing with Lupe, but Kendrick is still good lyrically while making more catchy music.
Basically in the same lane with concept albums. I don't think any of Kenny's albums are messing with The Cool, but I can easily see why everyone gravitates to Kendricks albums. I stopped the Kendrick Vs Lupe thing after I heard To Pimp a Butterfly. Lupe should get over it.
It’s all a matter of taste and I’m aware I’m in the minority with this but …The Cool is wack Ok not ‘wack’ but there is something off-putting about a completely make believe album. It’s ….nerdy. So for me it’s a perfect snapshot of why Kendrick is the better artist. Lupe don’t really have anything personal to talk about. His personal story is non existence.
Now Food & Liqour can go toe to toe with TPAB and most albums all time, and that version of Lupe is an all timer….but where Kendrick continued to make dope realistic authentic music, Lupe went left into a rabbit hole of nerdom. My Cool Young History
