Nah im sorry Lupebdid a lot more with lessLupe is the real boogeyman of rap, that they claim Kendrick is. NO ONE mentions Lupe in terms of battling because they know his pen game is insane.
Although...
Looking back at his battle with Royce, Lupe didn't destroy him like the internet forums made it seem. Mickey won that battle. Factz diss track on Royce > Lupes. Easily.
Meaning that I don't think he's this battle god that people make him seem. There's a lot of lyrical aliens out there but that doesn't mean they can construct any type of song (ex. 95% of battle rappers).
Lu has already admitted that he's better than Kendrick lyrically but Kendrick makes better music. I also lokey think Kendrick is well aware of Lupes feelings and has been trolling him (Kung Fu Kenny, Damn collectors edition that could be played backwards when T&Y had the same concept, all the stars single cover, etc).
Despite all that, I think it'll never lead to anything because they have a common friend and collaborator in Ab-Soul and Lupe recently shouted out GNX.
How does Lupe have fake deep raps?Kendrick would surgically annihilate Lupe. Break down his whole career top to bottom. The fake deep raps. Failure to make an impact. One dimensional style. Trash albums. Alcoholic induced tirades seeded in jealousy. It would get ugly very fast for Lupe. And he already admitted Kendrick is a better artist and that he was jealous of him.
Kendrick would drop an absolute banger on his head dissecting all of his insecurities while lupe drops a song flipping Kendricks albums titles over a beat that sound like two lizards fukking.

Everyone has bad versesNow let's vogue, Martin pose
Downward facing dog, warrior pose
Tree pose, bridge pose
Triangle pose, seated twist (pose, pose)
Upward facing dog (pose, pose)
Pigeon pose
In this bytch, that's vulgar, that's yoga
Let's try it again with clothes
And closer, enclosure, exposures
Quiet is kept like Rosicrucian meet koza nostras on Oprah's sofa
With both controllers
Watchin' Gazans and ashkenazis ride roller coasters
Say yeah
Yeah, lots of options, now up is down, two player
Now A is jump and B is punch
You seein' somethin' that weren't there
To find friendliness in a nemesis, it's a old test
3 buttons, see somethin'
That's emphasis on genesis

Lupe would kick Kendrick's ass.

We not gonna act like Lupe hasn't wrote good songsIt's not that it's bad. It's pretentious dog shyt. Lupe is nowhere near the writer that Kendrick is. He's extremely one dimensional. Which is why he makes his lyrics as confusing as possible so he doesn't have to connect the dots on anything he writes. Ambiguous writing like that has never been praised in any writing field and it shouldn't be praised in rap. I highly doubt Lupe could even explain what that verse means. Cause like I said. It's pretentious dog shyt with zero substance behind it.
And why is Lupe so fascinated with Oprah's sofa. He's used that phrase in like 17 tracks

.....This dude is nowhere near as deep as y'all make him out to be. He doesn't have the imagination to write great songs so he hides behind obscure raps with no meaning.
I remember Nikkas in here was hyping this goofy shyt
Dot would chalk this nikka the fukk up outta here if he was gonna come with that.
