WhoAmIIt really isn't
Kendricks music is waaaaay more personal and emotional than Lupe's. This is on top of being better produced and more enjoyable to listen to. His delivery is 10000x better than Lupes also. Lupe basically says all of this in the clip
By contrast I've unironically listened to Lupe albums and picked up books after to understand certain concepts more deeply. With respect I'm never doing that after listening to a Kendrick album.
I have both artists in my top 5 but it makes total sense to me that Kendrick is more popular. Its fair for Lupe to point this out, but he does look like a hater by beating the point into the ground year after year after year
Lupe also says Kendrick has better concepts and themes. Kendricks topics definitely could warrants reading more into stuff but its not necessary to understand, unlike Lupe where sometimes it is necessary.
Both are in my top 5 too. Im not sure Kendrick has better themes and topics than Lupe though, but he does deliver them better. For example I think theres a good chance Kendrick would do a better job at the Drogas Wave concept
Give it a rest, this argument may be valid but him bringing it up so often makes him look salty as f***
Since when was it a bad thing to say you were a better lyricist than Kendrick? We losing recipes, music discourse is cooked.
2wordslol show me the Lupe verse more nonsensical than this
And we don't stress
A .38 'til it free your chest
Then PP on the PO's desk
I'm JAY-Z in a blowout press
Relate me to your blowout's best
Can't hate me, I'm remote you're deaf
I'm HD, causin' photo theft
My AC antifreeze gotta—that part
Hold your breath, I'm 8 feet when I hold this TEC
Protect me from the local threats
My ID say my eye don't rest
My IV qualify T-Rex
Society kept my IQ vexed
Denyin' me from an Ivy school
Applyin' me to the street I slept
I quietly had to hold this tool
Reminding me of the block I repped
The turf I stepped, the church and the earth I blessed
The first I guessed the alert was the murk I chef
That hearse the flirt with perks of a kill confessed
Dispersed the worst, the first 48 addressed
The search of laws and verse of the birth I nest
The—uh, the awe, the curse of a pose in zest
The good, the flaws, the pain to reverse what's left, uhNahhhhhhh, I can’t let you get this off. This here is ELITE rapping.
KeeGloria???
Overrated song
insertcoolnameherePart of this is his own fault too tho.
Lupe consistently also tends to talk A LOT and just makes a lotta false promises that dont ever come true and niggas got tired of that (this imo was always his biggest flaw, nigga just be talking so much)
We was supposed to get LUPE.N.D. (Never happened)
We was supposed to get All City Chess Club (Never happened)
We was supposed to get a collab album with Soundtrakk (his best producer) called Skulls for like the past 15 years (also never happened)
Mans had a blog where he regularly updated us through the process of fighting with the label over Lasers and how Atlantic was holding it hostage and or making him change it up. Then said “Success” like everything was solved *nigga that was the first album I bought with my own money in high school just to get it and instantly feel buyer’s remorse. Oh and keeps being contradictory on how he feels about that album lol.
This kinda stuff versus a rapper that virtually dont be talking outside of the music is gonna make people side with the latter.
Word ion rly keep up with the news i just listen to the music

A lot of this is outside of Lupe’s control though. And he’s far, far, far from the first rapper to make promises he couldn’t deliver.
Even that Kendrick and j Cole collab never saw the light of day
Zoid eveLupe got a better voice than kendrick
He can lowkey sing
not saying much, kendrick voice legit annoying sometimes lmao
Zack From The SixCalling it ''bitterness'' because u cant accept he isn't a worshiping fanboy...
Real honestly
·1 replyLupe is not bitter if anything he's bitter about people bringing it up in the way you have @op
EmotionMakes sense but also lasers was trash
Label intervention he never wanted to do lasers he had a whole album planned called lupend
Nuja 🦋·2 repliesT&Y better than Kendrick’s entire discography which is saying a lot considering Kendrick has a phenomenal discography. The Cool & F&L can probably go toe to toe with the Kendrick’s albums too. But as a whole. Kendrick is the better artist and better discography in the grand scheme.
·1 replyidk I think Lupe has a stronger discography than Kendrick. kinda weird he is only talking about lyricism.

YoungNastyShawtyBattle rap always finds a way in the light lmaooo. Like when Joey Badass randomly tagged in Lux for one of those disses he made last year
Lux being in that was the highlight of the whole battle to me. It made me forget Daylyt was even in it too
- Zoid eve
Hes right that people moved on from him too fast and he has a legendary discography but after the cool people stopped rly putting him in that top tier of popularity
Lupe's discography after Lasers > Lupe's discography before Lasers tbh
he just killed his own momentum
- Josh

That battle was so funny. Drake vs Kendrick had people fiending for battles so bad they were listening to ANYBODY make diss records. Lux was the only highlight

At first I thought Lupe real af for that first post (Kendrick being better than him in every aspect except for lyricism)
But then I saw the post about 100 rappers better than K Dot and knew it was indeed bitterness

It’s weird to me he said he thinks Kendrick got better albums but I think he’s maybe speaking about in the realm of Kendrick’s albums connecting with far more people than Lupe’s has which I think just dials into the industry support Kendrick has that Lupe doesn’t have
- OPfancy lacriminal
Lupe is not bitter if anything he's bitter about people bringing it up in the way you have @op
So he’s bitter that people keep questioning why he talks indirectly when it comes to Kendrick???
Idk, it sounds like they got good points most of the time.
Not everybody is kissing Dot’s ass

The Big 3 should be Lupe Blu and Phonte
All still making great hip-hop music to this day
I still listen to Beautiful Lasers (2 Ways) to this day
