Punch Of TDE: "Be Careful What You Ask For, You May Get It''

[MischievousMonkey]

Punch always tweeting some bullshyt they ain't gonna do shyt.

Exactly. Punch always try to hype up the fans and nothing happens. Two months ago he was like:

"So yall really want this J Cole & Kendrick album? maybe if you ask for it it'll happen "















and I always see Lupe talking about Kendrick but I never see Kung Fu Kenny give him the time of the day

 

[Piff Perkins]

Probably talking about “the industry” and not rap.

I’m not even sure Kendrick is even focused on typical rap shyt, from beef to lyrics. We will see with the new album but I get the impression he’s going in the Kanye direction (anthems, big sounds, more arenas etc).” I hope I’m wrong. I just don’t get the sense that he thinks about rap the same way J Cole thinks about rap for instance.

This isn’t about Lupe. No one cares about Lupe outside of the Coli and 1000 people on twitter.

 

[prophecypro]

You sure hes not just tweeting about all these albums people still waiting on?

 

[Insensitive]

Lupe let a major label take over his album, pretended to be "against the machine"
then celebrated the very success of his "sell out" album.


He isn't better than Kendrick, he's the psuedo-experimental rapper for dudes who
likely had Lupe fiasco as the first rapper they ever heard that didn't rap about guns & coke.


Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington, Terrace Martin, Thundercat + Kendrick Lamar > Lupe fiasco, his team of producers and the atlantic songwriters who helped him pump out lasers.

 

[Vintage Eclectic]

Tweet is too vague to really assume anything. What I will say is that Lupe told no lies. Even gave a breakdown as to why he thinks the way he does while STILL giving him props.

I really suggest y'all check out Lupe's lives on IG. Constant knowledge bombs

 

[whatthatthangsmelllike]

shyt corny at this point

 

[NoStressB]

You are smoking big rocks if you think Kendrick is technically a better rapper than Lupe Fiasco. And this is coming from someone who hates all of Lupe's music after The Cool

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

Lupe is one of Soulo’s hip hop fathers. He knows what time it is

he tweeted props to Lupe like a week ago, so i don't think it's shots at anybody. just a brag based in reality. but let's not forget that soulo will come at whoever comes at the homies

[THE 101]

Lupe is basically this generation's Canibus.

Like Canibus his fans will swear to you he's the greatest "lyricist" and "technical rapper" but ultimately these terms were already irrelevant when Canibus debued let alone in 2020.

None of this shyt means anything unless it equates to strong music. Lupe's music has become increasingly become more opaque and less memorable. It's now niche music. The hip hop equivalent of prog rock. Technically brilliant but utterly self indulgent and only appealing to a small hardcore group of fans.

So if you wanna say he's technically better you can have it but it's a title that means very little at this point in the game. It will be Kendrick's music that is remembered and praised in the decades to come. Lupe can have his little weird corner of the Internet just like Canibus.

if they were gonna do something to Lupe they would have done it


Kendrick hasnt even so much even thrown a sub at that nikka after the subs Lupe has thrown at hi. All that tough talk dont mean shyt

now if they talking Kanye? ok but that dont make sense as Kany seems to want to work with them

 

[Cadillac]

This was after Lupe tweet

Ab is basically Lupe's son, that nikka aint gonna do nothing. and is just talking

Even then, I think after a certain point using a bunch of literary devices or word play isn't in the least bit technical.

Writing album long concepts, well written song concepts and employing dope grooves & rhythms
while being musically and lyrically above par and STILL funky/tight and unabashedly Hip-Hop is
when an artist truly reaches that realm of impressive.

I think and I've said it before but a dude like Skyzoo for example really doesn't get his due for being so musically consistent.
Sonically. He's fukking with guys with ten times the budget.
Lyrically. His pen is undoubtedly sharp.
Conceptually. This dude isn't just rapping and stringing together a bunch of bullshyt or to bring
it back to your post noodling incessantly at warp speed on an electronic guitar and ultimately
musically saying jack shyt. He's actually using his skill to say something, not "rapping about
rapping".

People on this website often don't judge writers in Hip-Hop as a whole they just talk about
"Them bars bro!","What about that simile man ?","Yeah but...he rhymed door hinge with orange!".

Y'all nikkas living in fantasy land, Lupe is his Musical Dad, they tweet each other, we all know Ab fukks with Lupe Musically, but Soulo been with Kendrick from Day 1 and Ab from the block, when it comes to family that musical shyt goes out the Window and like he said and cats on TDE and on The West Know, The Family Over Everything.

And AB let it be known that's how he roll

You kendrick stans are delusional

Lupe has highly praised albums and hits. Hes not known for just having just been hyped and dissapointed right when he hit like Bus

Strong music is what he has and its why he has left a impact having inflfuenced rappers like Ab soul, Meek, Schoolboy, etc. Its not niche just because you dont like it. you sound asinine thinking that.

Kendricks music is remembered because of recency and he has a bigger machine, not saying this to just have excuses but its fact. Lupe's music came prior and he didnt have a machine like kendrick has with interscope.

and lyricism still matters and its what a good portion of fans still care about. Your just saying this because Kendrick undoubtely loses on this end

 

[Stez]

TDE won’t do shyt. Do they even put out music?
