Both songs share a similar concept about keeping it real and being yourself, which track is better?

i'm really really real

Lmao coming from a Lupe stan I'd even take Kendrick's Real. That's probably the only song on F&L that I don't really like tbh

the hook used to bother me until i realized how much it sounds like erykah badu
i wish he got badu to do the hook tho

Real was never one of my favorites on F&L but I think I still take it over Kendrick’s

Real by kendrick wildly overhated

crazy how much Anna wise voice meant to that whole album

Real by Lupe because of the production but Kendrick’s performance on his version of Real is better

I feel that, I'm not even sure what I don't like about that song but I've just never cared for it.

This comment makes no sense

The hook isn’t that great and the tempo of the beat/flow is kind of a lot different/slower than the rest of the album so I definitely get why you feel that way, it might’ve been my least favorite at one point too. But it grew on me because I love the lyrics on the verses. A little off topic but to you prefer retail or leaked F&L?

I prefer Kendrick’s verses but as a total package, I’m going with FnL’s Real

The hook just doesn’t do it for me on GKMC’s Real

username to thread title ratio is nuts

I just went on genius for an a***ysis on lupe's lyrics in Real...shit's too deep. he clever as f*** with the message.

I always loved kendrick's real tho. both dope

nobody wants to hear alien Kendrick for 3 hooks. so lupe

I definitely prefer retail but the leaked F&L had some gems

Even though Trials & Tribulations is amazing I actually love Pressure, that's honestly one of my favorite Hov verses and Lupe's spazzed too ofc.

The Cool, I Gotcha, and He Say She Say are also some of my favorite songs from the retail version of F&L too.

Game Time from the leaked version was my joint for a minute though.

Pressure one of my favorites. I should relisten to F&L, s*** is so good. Lupe deserves more praise by the greats man. People always bring up Rakim and Mos and other lyrical rappers but Lupe never gets the praise. Kinda sucks tbh

Lupe does get respect and cosigns from the real ones but it is pretty wild how much he's slighted from most conversations of the best rappers. But to be honest he kinda does it to himself, it seems like he refuses from doing many features even when he was popping which is kinda why if you don't listen to his albums you probably won't have him on your mind.

And yeah you should def give it another spin

Real

Idk love both

lupe wins i think

Lupe’s obviously

you know how the Lupe meat riders are here..

lil f***ing jay >>>
