- Killed Conway on his own shyt.



- Made that nikka Jigga look like a chump from Amateur Night At the Apollo



- Defined the "other" nikka that with Food & Liquor and The Cool, which are two certified classics


- Flooded the streets with a trilogy of mixtapes and other compilations with nothing but undeniable classic material (unlike that other nikka that at one time released free sewage bi-weekly)


- Made it cool to make conceptual albums since Keith, Doom, and Ace


- Garnered a fanbase dedicated enough to rally behind him and push the release of his third album


- Received blessings from the likes of Nas, Jay Z, and Bun B


- His presence helped derivative ass nikkas such as Charles Hamilton, B.O.B, Kid Cudi, and Childish Gambino gain the courage to do them



So next time you see the misguided dread head on your screen, just remember who he was. :birdman:

He was the original "good kid" from the madd city...kendrick wouldn't have much of a lane to do his thing without lupe.


Every time anything on EOTS, I can't help but see just how much Kendrick jacked his shyt

I was huge Lupe fan back in grade school. Got older and more mature and realized he a smart-dumb, convoluted, corny nikka but has more talent than 99 percent of rappers. Except them mixtapes and loosies, I can play those til this day

He's had next to no impact on hip hop whatsoever. Anyone whose found influence from him barely counts.

Kendrick is a hot boys Stan, not goofy ass Lupe.

He might be a hot boy stan but his whole flow is a product of Mr Carrera

I think Lupe's main impact was as a support role to Kanye's whole "normal dude" rapper trend

Without them guys, no J Cole, Drake, etc

I don't hear Lupe in k dot. Agree on the toy, hipster, Kanye assist though.

Throw the corny ass clipse and NERD in that bowl of gumbo too.

All very harmful, funk fakers.
