Kendrick Lamar was feeling himself too much on Control; I think he realized this after hearing SLR 2

[TillWeDie]

lupe put on a great display and variety of what he can do but it's still lacking impact to me...maybe I expect more from Lupe or something more edgier and hard-hitting...unless if this was some sort of warm-up track or didn't want to give him too much of a serious response.

waiting for SLR 3

 

[criminology]

what kinda barbershop is nikkas puttin his average ass in the same sentence as genre-defining legends of the game like Nas and Jigga

The same ones in '97 that were arguing who the best was biggie jayz or nas.

At the time that was pretty silly shyt but time is funny like that.

I think jay z was talking about marcy projects with that line. The whole song is about macy, so maybe nikkas in marcy were debating who’s better.

Food and Liquor is slightly better than GKMC to me. The Cool isn't but it's close. But his last 2 albums aren't close.

slightly my nikka?

Lupe will always be my favorite rapper hands down, but sometimes Lupe can be a danger to himself. This whole cocky attitude he has, that I don't have to "rap" or respond to this shyt is killing his fan count. We know you have the intellect, the talent, the flow, but can you deliver to your expectations.

Lupe and Kendrick teaming up will be Lacey Duvalle on a silver platter

Did you just compare that potential Hip Hop merger to a cum guzzling porn goddess?....mind you they are both males


But they both respect each other, Lupe gave him his praise, but Lupe saying don't get too carried away. Plus I don't think Lupe, being from Chicago really cares about the KONY crown.

Metaphorically speaking... yes

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Lupe deserves the text cause he clearly overshadowed Kendrick Lamar's verse, IMO. It was a display of a distinguished talent level. I like Kendrick but Lupe shows he's a level above him which is exactly what Lupe was trying to establish in the freestyle.

Kendrick doesn't owe Lupe a gatdamn thing! What kind of shyt are u on?

 

[Lala718]

Control is the most overrated sh*t to his the net. It wont be mentioned in 10 years like Ether or Takeover especially if rappers are not going to respond. I respect Lupe for responding but it was trash but he is better than Kendrick though!!!!!!!!

Oh sh*t, another post that went over your head.

Shocking

 

[Omar Little]

I fukk with Kendrick's music more than I do the music of Lupe's goofy weirdo ass, but objectively, Lupe is the superior lyricist and SLR2 >>> that overrated Control verse.

Now whether Lupe can make a better album than GKMC is a whole 'nother question.

FNL and probably The Cool>>>>

 

[Peak]

Kendrick should pay homage to Lupe in some manner. Write him a letter, text him, or call him on the phone. Whatever he needs to do to thank Lupe for letting him light a fire under his ass, needs to happen.

one of the more ridiculous things I've heard thus far...

Its not a diss track.

But of course, New York poster, 718 in the name...mad as fukk.

Jayz wasn't in the conversation in 1997.

I don't think you understand Im not doubting that it was a better song. I'm doubting where the credit is due. Kendrick was the one that got Lupe off his a$$ and made a song that we can all debate about and enjoy it wasnt the other way around.

Again I'm not doubting your opinion. I'm saying that Kendrick thanking lupe makes no sense at all. Unless the text looks like this:

"Thank you for writing a song that I motivated you to write in the first place"
