. . . I guess but this is a ben shapiro ass answer.

rap is rythym and poetry for a reason. this is spitting gme to people's brain on a higher level.

since rap comes from the dozens(roasting), poetry, racial/social commentary, and fly s***/ playa esque s***.

these R&B ans soul cats were great rappers as well.

James Brown, Bobby Womack and George Clinton and Gil Scott Heron.

I only came back for you?

You’re illiterate too?

It's great artistically speaking. He didn't just put a song on and rap. Had a topic, meaning, sample usage, name title was clever with song's structure/topic, etc.

jay is a high class artist because he rapped over rock before

you’re fine

Good job Ignance you were able to name some of the other artists he pulls from

you’re delusional

come back to me when you accept lupe bears no importance on this genre

must suck stanning artists who literally don’t affect anything about the realm of music they do anything in

I doubt it

That still doesn't make much sense.

Lupe style is apart of Kendricks style

Listen to his first two albums, you’ll see the song structures don’t feel as varied compared with T&Y and Drogas Wave, plus there aren’t as much melodies too

Ah I see exactly what this kinda thread is and has become...yeah out.

Yea you overdoing it with Lupe lol. You post like you mad at the nigga. It’s kinda odd. his fans do overstate his influence sometimes though lol.

It’s funny seeing a site like KTT downplay Lupe all the time now compared to how KTT was when Lupe was more popular..

If you can’t acknowledge Lupe impact on hip hop and the fact Kendrick was influenced by him this convo is pointless.

Artists are melting pots none of them would be their final forms without the artists that influenced them

i hate d***riders that discredit trail blazers

This is theoretical nonsense
