Only way Poope ever get talked about is when being compared to King Kendrick! sad!

i feel like the production on F&L stood the test of time a bit better. the more sample based approach on that project feels more timeless to me compared to a lot of tracks on The Cool.

GKMC does feel like a movie at times. Kendrick's storytelling and production is really immersive and instantly makes you invested in his story. Both are excellent projects but F&L just hits different for me

nice avi

you blocked fam

I agree but lyrics alone don't determine who has the better album.

Otherwise, Can-I-Bus would be a top 10 hip hop album of all time.

hurt me soul vs. keisha's song?

both cover a similar topic with different approaches

GKMC easily

Hurt Me Soul is one of the greatest rap songs ever

Both of their next albums are a lot better imo

I accept these two as classics but not their peaks

GKMC >> The Cool

The Cool makes more sense to me, bc that's actually a concept album with a linked story, like GKMC. Its also Lupe's best album, like GKMC may be

I'd say GKMC concretely, but they got pretty comparable highs.

GKMC but both classics

What??? Lupe is a really good artist too on top of being one of the best lyricist to ever rap he’s super creative

for sure

but it's the musicality that makes me say he's one of the greatest

he was able to become a complete emcee

he had singles
he had deep cuts
he had mixtapes

he had his own art direction / swag

and the level that he did it at was very high

there's a reason he was around Jay and Ye and Pharrell

Lupe was really that dude

and still is

Lupe is really anything but overrated lmao he’s not even rated that highly

I prefer F&L

Checkout Tetsuo & Youth first then Drogas Wave

The Cool >>>>>

which is a shame

because he's seriously one of the best

without a shadow of a doubt

Lasers isn’t nearly as bad as some of Em’s albums too

Oedipus Rex
Motherfucker
this better
than s**

Sucks that just like other 2000’s rappers, his controversies gain more attention than the music

the one with sing about me

Love both but might have to go with F&L

could be for nostalgic reasons tho
