all time, Lupe got him, but Lupe's music has been slippin, and if Kendrick keeps on droppin heat like he has been doing, then I can see him passing Lupe

I'd put Lupe's 30 best songs against any rapper of all time. His versatility sets him apart; he has storytelling tracks, straight spittin bars, crazy concept tracks, conscious songs, crazy wordplay songs, etc.



Put it like this, Lupe can do (and has done, many times over) what Kendrick does... however, Kendrick isn't capable of making a Failure, Lupe The Killer, Put You On Game, Twilight Zone, Game Time, etc.



dogg... think about how fukkin genius the whole Michael Young History concept is, with the personification of the game and the streets... he carried that concept over multiple albums and in the end it was a coherent narrative... creatively, Lupe is in a league of his own

and if you want to look at it from a catalogue standpoint:


Lupe has 5 mixtapes and 2 albums that are at least 4/5

Kendrick has 1 album and 1 mixtape that are at least 4/5






the more I think about it, this thread is blasphemy... should've said "who is better right NOW"
