I wouldn't use "legendary"Nah, this is cap. Lupe had legendary mixtapes
The industry darling shyt I mentioned. Canibus had clown ass Wyclef, if he had Lupe's industry push, there's no telling what he could have done. Most of these rappers were afraid of him.that put everyone on notice before his debut. Had co-signs and a feature from Hov on Food and Liquor. Huge feature on Kanye's Touch the Sky leading up to his release.
Production from the Neptunes for his lead single on his debut album.
He sold more records, that's about it. Where are the freestyles being played and analyzed years later? Who did he battle?He was highly anticipated and hyped and actually delivered 2 great first albums. Let's not spew out bullshyt and act like Lupe didn't have his time and isn't easily more accomplished than Canibus.
I'll take 2000 BC and Rip The Jacker over anything Lupe ever did. He's a great lyricist, but most of his his music isn't fun. His off court antics and dikkhead personality makes me like even his good records less.
THANK YOU. We have to hear this bullshyt narrative about Eminem all day on here, but Lupe is damn near in the same boat. When is the last time he made some groovy, fly shyt you would want to hear "outside" or at a "function"?Where is all that "...don't be outside", "...music scares the women away", "...you don't hear his music in the club/at the function" energy when it comes to Lupe?
So we going to pretend cuh don't make music for n*ggas who wear button down anime shirts? We going to act like people didn't stop paying attention to Lu after Food & Liquor?
Defended Iggy Az and talked condescending on them
They let it slide but still tried to ask why he feels Drake is better Emcee than KDot and their battle songs
He didn't wanna answer the question and responded with questions on how lyrics should be on different metrics
And then kicked them off
Kept talking over them while they were being nothing but cordial
He treated them like Royce treated him
Don't forget the pro-cop shytTo be fair he doesn't have many nice things to say about Lupe.
What's funny about these threads is "b bu but why are Kendrick fans attacking everyone not sh*tting on Drake?!"....literally all of those people were criticized and mocked for years before Drake vs Kendrick.
The Iggy Azalea sh*t was a decade ago. Let alone the A Tribe Called Quest debacle. Or his obsession with Japanese culture.
But no, let's over look all that because he wants Drake to buy "Reasonable Doubt".
Fred.
