What's embarrassing is that someone can twist your words and it get more motion than your recent project.

Lupe is masterful at putting words together but outside of that his resume isn't strong enough for us to care about his commentary on the "culture".

Did you guys actually listen to the full quote or are you running off a clip from a white boy Drake stan?

He's on live right not saying he wasn't even talking about Kendrick lol. Which was obvious. Once again this is white dudes dictating hip hop media with bullshyt. And the Coli playing lap dog.

There was never a singular person to dictate who is apart of the culture. That is something people determine as a collective. A singular person can only give a opinion, it's up to the masses to decide.

Y'all gather around a campfire to listen to Budden commentate on culture when that nikkas career is college bust status, make it make sense.


By y'all's logic there's no one who can talk culture because the people who would meet the criteria are too busy doing productive shyt, Nas and Hov can't be bothered talking about current rap trends for you nikkas, so who else is currently talking about rap who has the strong resume you speak of?

Nore? :mjlol: these are the guys at the forefront of talking about rap, Nore and Joe Budden

This was exactly his point, anyone with a midling rap career can start a podcast and suddenly be the voice of culture, there's no barrier for entry forreal

Lupe 1 of my favourite MC’s period but record sales & concert tickets don’t necessarily mean that your apart of the culture.

There’s much more to aspects that Lu mentioned.

Kendrick’s success burns slow for Lupe. He excelled to highest level in lane that Lupe was supposed to occupy.
Lupe been knocking on Kendrick's door for like 10 years

He's articulate enough to put up playful bad-faith arguments like he's doing here but you can tell he hates his ass lol

I'm not "y'all", I don't care about what Budden, Nore, Gillie and Wallo, or Math Hoffa have say about the culture either.

The only person in that group who has a resume to speak on anything is Nore and to his credit he just interviews (poorly) others.

All of them found more success podcasting than they did making music, so who are they to tell us about the culture?

:yeshrug:Because he is smarter and more strategic than Drake. He has nothing to gain besides a loss on his record by engaging Lupe. Drake could have ignored Dot's "Like That" verse and just kept on subbing. Instead he engaged and look where that got him. Nobody was even thinking about Kendrick before hand.
Yep. Drake fell in a dumb ass trap.
