Lupe Fiasco -Tetsuo & Youth vs Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly

[Shammago]

Two of the Greatest albums coming out of the new school / post 2000 era.

Both are very lyrical.

Both are experimental.

Both raise consciousness.

Both represent that REAL HIP HOP even us old true school heads can feel.

Which album do u have in your number #1 and #2 spots respectively?

Let's go!!!

I'm primarily referring to the real hip hop fans who know what real hip hop in all about.

So you didn't nitpick the struggle bars on Kenny's album like you did Lupe, huh?

 

[tonyclifton]

Consider for a moment that Supreme Clientele came out in the year 2000 breh. That's an example of an album that was monumental & influential that "real" on any hip-hop fan for that matter would consider classic material. There is an objective consensus that goes along with classics imo. You can't just throw Tetsuo & Youth in there, especially when it's probably at best Lupe's 3rd best album. Furthermore, it's way too early to crown To Pimp a Butterfly in this fashion also.

Go ahead and appreciate the music that you love though breh. I don't take issue with that, but the "Real" hip-hop fan shyt is often a cop out for panned & obscure material.

And Lupe ain't no damn new school artist.

His mainstream breakout was 2005

 

[eerieBell]

How is Lupe's album experimental ? I don't see it. Unless poppy production is experimental now ?

True. All classics must have some type of impact and influence on the game.

Last Lupe album that really had impact and influenced a lot of new gen rappers was The Cool.

Tetsuo & Youth is great but doesn't meet the criteria for classic.

Those Dahi tracks have hella experimental elements.

Plus the production on T&Y is diverse as hell, all kinds of styles on it

This is way more difficult then its being made out to be. I just recently copped lupe and got the kendrick as soon as i heard.

Gonna go with kendrick off the strength of his whole project working together... but lupe got tracks where im just now getting the concept he was spitting.

Lowkey, i know hip hop do it, but putting these two against each other ain't fair yo either. Just be happy we got two damn near classics brehs

 

[Pool_Shark]

Kendricks album.
