real niggas got that heart cut into their hair in 2021

aint no real niggas but me itt

I don't think Lupe failed at being in a Kendrick Lamar position

To me his career reads like he didn't enjoy pressure from labels and actively decided to make music that was less appealing to the mainstream because it's what he wanted to make despite losing some success

Which is cool even if I don't wanna hear a lot of it

SOMEONE CHANGE THE TITLE TO SAB IS A COOL GUYZER

How am I am a bigger Lupe fan than Kendrick when I’ve listened to 5x as much Kendrick in a year ?

No it ain’t man lmao

It was the biggest before Drake/Kendrick

I agree with this

Because we remember your posting history and your deep affiliation with your city. It's cool bro.

This goofy logic to me when real people died over 2Pac biggie but go off

Gnx was my most listened to album of 2024

Your logic is stupid

There were bigger and more tragic outcomes of the Biggie/Pac beef yes, but as far as which one was a bigger cultural moment at the time that it happened, it’s easily Drake/Kendrick

I listen to more Kendrick than you do so as I said stand up

Ok

Lupe proved he could already make fun smart music when he was basically still brand new

He also was in a more confusing time for that type of thing and I think some of the success he saw might have even motivated artists like Kendrick lamar

Labels probably mistreated him to a degree because they didn't know how to handle that combo and he didn't like it so he gave up on some of the fun/mainstream appeal aspects to his music

Yeah and I also had to make a new WTPD thread because of u doing the same s***

jay f***ed lupe lol

i’ve been pretty consistent about this the whole time lol

NLU didn’t even make my top 100 in 2024

Lupe was helping to propel some of the artists fusing mainstream appeal with smarter content like j Cole and b.o.b and wale and stuff

I don't think he ever misunderstood any part of what happened with his career he just quit part of it

While listening to Dog house

i don’t think he quit it, i think he realized it no longer worked when Next To It flopped

Watch the party die is the weakest song of the beef era to me personally . Great message overall but wrong timing in a way . Criticizing black music while the beef started on like that were future rapping about the same thing he is lamenting . Then working with Carti . You bringing up Lupe here when it’s irrelevant is your own problem . You can’t admit you’re wrong which is fine . My opinion is of I enjoy some gnx songs but the 3 I specified faded out with time the most . It 100% deserved nominations but I have clipse rap album and bad bunny over it .

Gnx isn’t a bad album I bought it the first minute it dropped and I have followed Kendrick career for 16 yesrs( since you were probably 10 )

Over Like That?

NOTE THAT DOG HOUSE IS PAUSED

i just wanted to remember if the Julia part was country or pop or what

would’ve been better without Kendrick

I knew that but I had to say something

(Sab is a super lame nerd)
