The PERFECT analogy for this is when Dave Chappelle was on tour recently and called out Key And Peele for doing “his” show.
When interviewed about it. Chappelle admitted he was being petty and said that the fact that Key and Peele has such an easier go of getting creative freedom and having success while he was basically blackballed for demanding the same thing, hurt his feelings.
That’s the SAME thing that’s going on with Lupe/Kendrick. Lupe was the OG who came in with fire lyrics, awesome concepts, and a fresh approach to making enjoyable yet “conscious” music.
Chappelle had two successful seasons of Chappelle Show before the network tried to interfere with his creative vision
Lupe Fiasco had two successful albums before the label tried to interfere with his creative vision
Chappelle rebelled against the network, lost his show, and was blackballed once the network reneged on his deal.
Lupe rebelled against the studio and was shelved once the studio reneged on his deal.
Chappelle went on tour while on a Hollywood sabbatical and relied on both his fanbase and growing legend to keep him afloat
Lupe went on tour while on a recording sabbatical and relied on both his fanbase and growing legend to keep him afloat
While in the midst of his professional turmoil Chappelle had to stand by and watch as Key And Peele rose to stardom utilizing humor based upon racial economics and inventive skits.
While in the midst of his professional turmoil Lupe had to stand by and watch as Kendrick Lamar rose to stardom utilizing lyrical based music based upon racial economics and inventive album concepts.
Chappelle dropped two comedy specials from the “vaults” before gearing up to release his recently recorded and heavily anticipated “Equanimity” Netflix special. Which marks his complete freedom from Comedy Central.
Lupe recently dropped Drogas Light, an album from the “vaults” before gearing up to release his recently recorded and heavily anticipated “Drogas Wave” album. Which will mark his compete freedom from Atlantic records.
