I didn't realize how many nerds was on here until the Tetsuo thread. That's the only reason Tetsuo got that many votes. Very impressive in numbers you guys are on here :leon:

And you know to yourself Kendrick is WAY more popular and has WAY more fans. Don't live in this warped Coli world, Golden. He's a MUCH bigger rap star, SELLS MUCH more albums, is a better rapper and has way more fans. Ya'll gonna be aight tho. Don't worry bout it.

That's cool that's your opinion, real hiphop heads on the coli seem to think they deserve to be in the same sentence. I'm sure a bunch of cacs will agree with you though.

Lol. Breh, do you realize that Lupe's online fanbase is most likely predominantly white and nerds? Lmao. The irony of stating "I'm sure a bunch of cacs will agree with you though."

Lupe has stans that project their stannery online ONLY. The hip hop community outside of the internet realm would never place him amongst the greats now. He's not in the conversation with this generations top hip hop artists. In no way. He's not Kendrick. He's not Cole. And he's not Drake. Ya'll want him to be there with those guys so badly but it's just not reality. Outside of the internet Tetsuo had VERY little impact. Almost none. I'm sorry to break it to ya'll. It was an ok album that got a million reply thread with most of the posts being from the same 5 or 6 dudes that pop up in every Kendrick thread trying to bring Lupe up.

Lupe is hated more than kendrick on all platforms except the actual lupe fiasco forum, so that excuse is weak.

Lupe is just the better lyricist, no matter how painful it is for kendrick stans to admit it.

Kendrick is the bigger star, but that has nothing to do with the quality of lyricism. He doent need to be up there with jcole, kendrick, drake and them. Any real hip hop head would admit lupe could rap circles around all them nikkas.

Lupe never really got his props, even when he first came out, so he aint gon get em now.

Lupe is gonna be one of those artists where no one is gonna wanna admit his greatness until he's dead. Its fukked up but thats how its gonna be at this point.

They are both about equal but I'm liking the theme of kendricks album more, it's more enjoyable to listen straight through.

Nerd Lupe stans opening up the thread and seeing Kendrick pulling up in votes, now looking like this...

Praying ol' weird ass Wasalu can hold on :russ:











:russ::russ::russ::russ::russ:

Kendrick album WAAAAAYYY better, brehs. N!ggas actually started listening and voting appropriately.

:dahell:

Are you really gloating about Kendrick LOSING in the poll by a small margin? :lupe:


If TPAB being the better album was really as obvious as you wish it was, it would be pulling ahead by leaps and bounds, not struggling to keep up.

I'm sure you'll attribute that to the "nerds" on here, but it's really just a case of Coli posters not dikkriding K Dot as hard as you.

Citing album sales doesn't mean shyt either. If album sales equal quality, Taylor Swift would be better than all these rappers.

I like Kendrick. But T&Y is just better. Lupe is just a better artist. :manny:

Get K Dot's pubes out of your eyes and you might be able to see it too.

Not trying to erase anything. Just stating facts. Very few outside of the internet realm even knows that Tetsuo dropped and very few that do know it dropped are actually listening to the sh!t. It's funny how ya'll pop up in a bunch of Kendrick threads and Drake threads and Cole threads trying to force him into the conversation. Say I'm lying.

He fell off popularity wise, but not lyrically. Which matters most at the end of the day. Lu was still spitting bars on lasers, t & y, and f & l 2 that outshines lyrics on tpab lol

Kendrick preaches on tpab- "voice of our generation!"
Lupe preaches- "get this uncle tom ass nikka outta here with that save the hood bullshyt"

I swear if kendrick dropped t & y yall would swear to heavens that it was a lyrical masterpiece

This is what I'm talking bout :russ:
Mostly everyone that fukked with his first 2 albums & wrote off the following 2 have said that this a return to form.
What's so different now then back then?
It's the hype :yeshrug: He doesn't have the mainstream or hypebeast on his side anymore

I admit there were a few dudes who had to name drop in the K.Dot and then started the debate.

I didn't compare them in that thread at all. I showed the man K.Dot love, I love the new album

But you know these comparison threads are inevitable. Same shyt is bound to happen when Nas drops. And of course not many aren't talking bout Lupe's album. If you know the situation with his label, this album was held back for 2 years with little to no promo outside of his Twitter and the album was undershipped
