I agree with Lupe Kendrick can rap his ads off and makes dooe.music so don't think he's one of the greatest lyricists though

As a dude over 30 who’s from Chicago, I mess with both Lupe and Kendrick. Lupe is a superior lyricist as far as putting words together, double entendres, etc. Kendrick isn’t wack by any means, but he’s simply made more enjoyable music with more replay value.

If I had to rank their albums as far as enjoyability combined with quality, it would go...

TPAB>GKMC>The Cool>T&Y>DAMN>F&L>S.80>>>>>F&L 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lasers

I feel like if Lupe had released F&L the way it was meant to be released, it would be his best album.

Who writes better than lupe? Ever? :gucci:

Do you even read lyrics or do you just skim through them?

Only people close is jay electronica, nas and mf doom.


I can name many artists who writes better than Lupe. Get the fukk outta here. I'm not impressed or entertained with that overly complex shyt. Sit down and listen to Nas on It Was Written or GZA on anything or Rakim on Paid In Full and then get back to me. Them dudes are doing less and are LEAGUES better at conveying powerful images than Lupe.

THAT IS POWERFUL WRITING.

THAT IS TRUE LYRICISM.

GZA don't even have the best verse or song on his own album :russ:

Jay electronica killed the whole album with b.i.b.l.e

Ok.

Lupe never made ANYTHING. I REPEAT...ANYTHING...as good as this:

If he's such a "powerful" writer like ya'll are claiming how come he never made a song that made masses cry like:



or



Ya'll really impressed by that doing too much bullshyt huh? All them damn words and density and he can't make nobody cry from his verses? Make nikkas in the hood want to pick up the phone and call their moms? Yet I'm supposed to believe he's the greatest writer/lyricist of all time?
