The control and the like that verses are overrated though, nothing he said was anything special
I feel like everyone sometimes misses that hiphop is about more than just bars though. There is flow, cadence, and how you present the bars.

Kendrick has better flow and cadence than drake for example....easily. that's what made the control verse, and the like that verse. That's what the wow factor is.

Lupe doesn't value this, because...its not really his absolute strength either. Sometimes I feel like he mainly prioritizes lyrics and bars over these things entirely.

Like for example if busta rhymes is on a song with lupe or Drake...from a flow/cadence/presentation/musical standpoint Busta will look be an absolute monster.

Kendrick flow is ok, but its choppy and animated like a worse version of Eminem at his best, doesn't come across natural at times.

I feel like Lupe been baiting Kendrick for years ever since Control

I still don’t even know the real origin of the Drake/Kendrick feud other than Kendrick been randomly baiting him for years and Drake is just now responding

The crazy thing is Lupe has an incredible flow when he turns it ON

I mean Tom Brady is not playing a pick up game at your local community college breh.

It just ain't happening.


:pachaha:

Whole thread has very "Why won't Shaq just come to the park and hoop with us, so we can see who REALLY has it ?" energy.
Lu isn't a random at your local community college, though. Kendrick wants to pretend he's the boogeyman while avoiding people he knows would beat him. I mean, I get it. After how casually Lupe crushed Royce I wouldn't test him either.

EXACTLY!!!!!

Even when I was a Lu stan I always knew deep down his voice was unremarkable and his flow/delivery meh but his wordplay and concepts always helped me ignore it.

Lupe is saying what alot of us know about Kendrick as a rapper

i just disagree with the Drake part. Drakes ghostwriters are better rappers than Kendrick, not Drake
Yeah. People on this site have made threads asking for Kendrick quotables, but when Lu says he has no bars then suddenly he's bitter.
I keep seeing lame and bitter in this thread

What I don't see is Kendrick is better

At the end of the day it's levels

Lupe may be a dikkhead, but on the mic just ain't too many fukking wit him AT ALL
These Kendrick stans know Kenny can't hang, so they are deflecting hard af.
