Lupe been baiting Kendrick for years, saying Cass, logic and Los is lyrically better, sending shots after Control, now the past 2 days he's at it again. Lupe on some passive aggressive hoe shyt and is jealous of Kenrick, when he found out that Marvel picked Kendrick to musically direct the Soundtrack to one of Comic's biggest Movie Event, one of the blackest movie which the soundtrack going to move units and Lupe being a comic nerd, he lost his shyt, Lupe Cracked.

You claim you emcee one of the greats a Master in the lineage of Kool Moe Dee then snatch Kendrick Crown, you want it, then go for his crown or shut the fukk up.

No its not the same....Kendrick's production on his albums shyts on Lupe's....and of course Lupe is the better mc but his music is so boring....Thats where they differ....
Lupe needs to have someone else executive produce his albums to keep him away from himself. He's his own worst enemy in that regard sometimes. Lupe if he had actually signed with the Roc :wow:

He turned into the nikka that you almost was

:umad:

Facts. It's all Lupe fault too. Lupe turned corny and made that shyt in style. He's the 2nd most wasted talent in rap behind Nas of course

Kendrick's still a better artist than Lupe could ever be, sounds like some hater shyt coming from Lupe to be fair

Kendrick is a better lyricist then most, he paints pictures he isn't out to give you witty punchlines or metaphors

He's more of a poet than Lupe could ever be, and this is coming from a long time Lupe fan

Lupe's last 3 projects can't hold a candle to Kendrick's last 3, PERIOD

Grandmaster Melle Mel, Slick Rick, Tupac Shakur are in The Top 10 GOAT emcee list of the majority of all in hip hop.

Grandmaster Melle Mel and Tupac are poets, Slick Rick is a Story Teller. Let that sink in, and Melle Mel and Pac crushed emcees In battling

Don't underestimate King Kunta

If being in the game is good enough for you thats fine.Garbage is harsh, But it sounds like you think his career is dissapointing too. Meanwhile Kendrick is exceeding expectations,hopefully he is studying Kendrick and trying to figure out what he can do to have a greater career and be a better musician. Big time failure of a career when you think about who was in Lupes corner starting out. But I think his career is actually accurate,Kendrick did what he was supposed to do based on who he had in his corner,and has actually done more. Kendrick is bashed for having a machine behind him and living up to the hype,where as Lupe was overated due to having a machine behind him,but just failed to the point the machine couldn't even carry him.
I responded to the claim that Lupe's career is trash.

You're adding all this extra shyt about disappointment and continuing the Kendrick success vs Lupe success argument when I was addressing the ridiculousness of claiming that Lupe has had a garbage run.

Lupe doesn't have to study Kendrick Lamar. Lupe knows how the machine works. It's funny how you're talking about his failures when a lot of the shyt you're holding against Lupe are things he didn't want because he didn't believe in it.

-He walked away from deals with McDonald's
-Turned down machine generated hits from Atlantic
-Refused to sign a 360 deal and exposed what that was about to the masses

At his peak, he wasn't down with what Atlantic had planned for him.

So while Kendrick is hot and popular, you don't know what compromises he's had to make to keep Interscope happy behind the scenes

Jay-Z did that man a service if he really was the executive producer on F&L.
Cause if he could've kept dropping bangers like that, his whole career might've
turned out differently.

Two of the most overrated rappers on here who both for the most part make trash music. Seriously scratch my head when I hear there music and think to myself people really feeling this shyt.

He turned down machine generated hits until he turned into a raging cynic near the end
of his major label time. Lasers literally has a "Generated by a major label think tank" single on it.

Lupe's experience on a major is clearly vastly different from Kendrick Lamar's
and their musical output is indicative of it.

One artist's label had little to no faith in them recouping their investment in his project
so they slowly wrestled creative control from him, the other has proven himself three times
over and the label gradually backs off and lets him really do some shyt that isn't really happening
in either arena (Mainstream or Indie).

He didn't turn down Jay as an executive producer on his album,the man had Jay and Kanye cosigns. Should have been on cruise control with no need to comprimise? Were Superstar and Show Goes On the atlantic generated hits?as bad as they were they weren't horrible for singles.

Far as Kendrick is concerned,I don't see any comprimises,seems like pure artistic integrity on his end. I'll let you know when he drops a Lasers,hopefully Kendrick fans will keep it real and not blindly still try to blame the label:martin:
