It would be valid criticism if Lupe:
- Wasn't a self-admitted Drake stan
- Didn't spend the last few years throwing shots at Kendrick
- Got his facts straight

Feel you 100%. This whole kendrick thing is what made do a double take on lupe and i dont even like kendrick. But its pure jealousy for how people react to kendrick and not him. And imo both of them embarass themselves imo trying to be the enlightenment messiah but as soon as its beef they revert to “i used to be a street guy 20 years ago” talk.
Plus lupe seems to REALLY care how people think of his music. Never seen an artist so obsessed with how he is seen vs others and mad they get more attention.
you're still crying? gotdamn

Lupe needs to go somewhere and lock in writing 96 bars full of words that rhyme but not really saying anything.

He won't acknowledge Lupe bc that's a smoke he doesn't want. Say what you want but Lu is one of the few that can go bar for bar with Kenny easily.
Hiphop culture didn't respect Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Tag Team, Young MC, Tone Loc, Sir Mix A Lot, Black Eyed Peas (with Fergie), and many more despite how many records they sold or shows they sold out.
he way too scared for that

And has the biggest rap song of the yearLupe can't even get his facts in order. Kendrick just did the highest selling solo hip hop tour last year
Kendrick Lamar's 'Big Steppers Tour' Becomes Highest-Grossing Rap Tour Ever
Kendrick Lamar's The Big Steppers Tour is now the highest-grossing tour by a rapper as a headlining act, surpassing Drake's 2018 Aubrey & the Three Migos Tourwww.complex.com
So wtf. By his own metrics, Kendrick can and should be dictating the culture

I’m a fan of Lupe but he has a google commercial and still can’t get the hype Kendrick got right now.

I was listening to that Twitter spaces while watching boxing/UFC.
That Twitter spaces had absolutely NOTHING to do with drake/Kendrick specifically , he was talking about all kinds of shyt and he only referred to that situation when it made sense to
That "culture" shouldn't be dictated by some nikka with a podcast, there are people who sell more records and have more tour dates worldwide that the average person can't even name, even he was surprised by some of those types of artists. But people will pretend like fame/celebrity is more important. That they whole "all publicity is good publicity" is bullshyt, along with "money can't buy happiness" and if you look into the origin of these statements there was never anything real behind em.
Content creators and podcastsera make money off of interviewing you but when you ask to be paid they magically hit you with the "I'm just doing it for the love of the culture" bullshyt
Spoke about how entities like Revolt and whatnot will have you come out to do a show then have a writer from there kick your back in on an article for engagement, our how rappers will try to backdoor you and embarrass each other on tracks instead of just having a straight up battle, that's why he doesn't do features anymore, used J. Cole as an example.
Also mentioned how this exact thread would be created, he does some interview and people go and find a soundbite and rewrite a narrative to get engagement
Interviewer asked him about the Webby awards he just won for the Google commercial stuff so he explained what it was
Was saying it's weird how people wanna take political advice from artists instead of people with actual political science degrees and lawyers and whatnot, referenced a Malcolm X quote about how people would rather let a person who plays the trumpet talk to them about politics than him.
And THAT'S how he went on to say the same thing about rap culture, because we don't have a Rap degree available to get in college, that any nikka with a podcast who sold some records can pretend they know what they're talking about by saying vague shyt like "culture" and who is and who isn't part of that culture and it doesn't make sense, rap has been around long enough that it should be a studied science like everything else because right now anyone with some clout from back in the day can talk like some elder statesmen. Low-key shots at JBP
He SPECIFICALLY said he supports both Kendrick and Drake because every barrier that they break through is a win for rappers as a whole and he thinks that shyt is dope. Punch was in the damn spaces for most of the time listening to him tell stories and be asked questions by the woman running it
if he's not popular like that anymore why does this nikka go viral EVERYTIME he says anything, other artist say way more egregious shyt every dayNow I see why that nikka be so pissed off and doesn't wanna talk to anyone publicly, nikkas like OP and the rest of this thread never wanna hear the full context, he was NOT spending his energy talking about Drake and Kendrick the whole time and you don't walk away from that spaces thinking he was hating unless you already had that narrative in your head
And I HATE his most recent album before anyone tries to call me a Stanley
most of my Lupe tracks are old as hell
