Think it makes him human.

hot take: 99% of the time the rappers yall call conscious or political hate being called that lol

Like who?

Not at all the same brodie lol.

Give me a drill song with the same complexity as a mother i sober lmao

I dont really call Lupe concious or political. I dont limit him to that. I call him an artist and yes specializes in rap obviously. I think he puts forth more effort into concious and politics than most rappers. As does Vic Mensa. Noname and a few other artist.

Mick jenkins literally said they calling me conscious (UH-UH)

Ghais Guevara said his Super Slave album felt like an essay and he hated writing like that lol.

And noname definitely is trying to back away from that label lol like cmon yo

a lot of people’s first impression of Kendrick was HiiiPoWer….just want to mention that.

But Mother I sober isnt an exodia card

Jonylah forever clears much of what Kendrick has done for emotions for me personally. Yet its not going to get the shine cause its not Kendrick. Many impressive rappers and artist you run their same lryics through ai and if it convincingly sounded like Kendrick voice they gonna love it.

S*** a lot of Drogas Waves

How people feel bout Lupe depends on how early they started listening to Lupe.

I remember guntalk/drug talk Lupe heavy lmaoo

squatter song left me slightly confused

Tbh I never knew this was a thing and I can see how it’s racist/putting people in a box

*Ignorance Is Bliss

Lupe was fkn great since food and liquor but up untill he had that all black cover album i hopped off that s***. im good on that

b**** bad woman good was hilarious. I think ive been blocked by Lupe on twitter for the last 13 years because of that

u dont actually engage w whats being said in debate, there's no point of talking with you atp. and again, ure clearly obsessed w arguing for the sake of it - not actually internalizing the opposing view.

and again, i am not this other person you were discussing with. its unfair to keep bringing that s*** up as if i made the statement. and this whole "words alone" caveat is reductive and minimizing.

"they're doing it so i'm doing it too" worked when we were kids. not now.

love kendrick but bro wasn't talking about s*** on that song lol

A Little Appalled for me

I mean I personally think a lot of it was posturing in retrospect hahaha but still he’s referencing a lineage of activist leaders to his own journey.

saying coolname dont engage while im engaging is a funny ktt2 gimmick to fall on when you mad lol. I been directly responding to your posts and even quotes calling us sheep but sure dawg

he prob did make some people google Huey Newton and Bobby Seale I'll give him that lol

B**** bad was a bad song man lol.

Is it not weird though having a performance start with “the revolution will not be televised” and not support the dancer with the Palestinian flag? It makes him seem like any suggestion at political advocacy is purely aesthetic and branding and not to be taken seriously

Yeah sorry thats what I meant. hilarious in a bad way cuz that s*** was headass. i remember him trying to explain it on Sway in the morning. i think that probably led to my hype dying with that album

“The revolution 'bout to be televised / You picked the right time but the wrong guy”

At least finish the whole quote dawg lol
