Sorry. shyt is garbage breh. I wanted to like it. But I just can't. I can't even take this nikka seriously anymore. Lupe is so far out there now. Kendrick done came at you and basically every nikka in the game like he's a young Canibus and you come with this bullshyt?

Oooo I didnt even see the thread, the vid just popped up on my YT feed...

SLR 1 was a classic... maybe a top 5 Lupe track... he fukked up the legacy with this bullshyt...

This a million times :why:

1 and 2 are like night and day...one was an incredible display of Lupe's prowess, and two was whack :to:

I'm going through the SLR2 thread and I notice that a few of the Lupe stans were complaining that dudes weren't appreciating the "lyricism". First...the "lyricism" on that shyt is far from awe inspiring. And second...a potent diss/response track doesn't have to be super lyrical. Look at Ether, No vaseline, The bytch in Yoo, Real Compton City G's, TakeOver, T-Shirt and Buttons...none of them were what you would call super lyrical. They were, and are, potent and dope because they hit it's intended target with scathing fire. Truth. This Lupe shyt is fukking basura.

Why are all of you assuming the response should be a diss song? If anything, Kendrick was just calling out for better verses. Kendrick's verse seems to have gone over a lot of heads.

Yea I was gonna say, Kendrick is looking to play a game of lyrical horse, not make goofy spiteful diss records

But even in that regard, SLR II fell short.

Lupe is so lyrical, sometimes he is too lyrical for his own good. Or he gets lost in his metaphors and shyt to the point that the songs make no sense (one of my big gripes with 'The Cool'). SLR 1 was PERFECT... everything was balanced.

Diss or not. Was it not supposed to be a response to Kendrick calling out basically all these nikkas about their bars? His "over the head" bullshyt just wasn't good. If nikkas wanna get on here and suck Lupe cock for the bullshyt he was spittin on that track...fine. But stop embarrassing yourself by acting like that shyt was anywhere near a good response to what Kendrick did on Control. Come wit better shyt than that Lupe.

I didn't state whether it was better or not, just thought it was weird you compared it to a bunch of personal diss tracks. Lol. That's all.

My post in the OG thread

:leon: Lupe Lives :lupe:

I heard that American Trap bullsh!t and started writing his eulogy...Lupe at this level lyrically is out of Kendrick's depth, but it'd be actually interesting to see him try...I'd get more geeked about that than how people are all going :krs: because Kendrick promised to "murder" ASAP fukking Rocky the next time they're on a track...after already having done multiple songs with him and not doing so :heh:

But people ain't REALLY about lyrics and "competition though"...as much as they're about namedropping, dikkriding, and overhyping
[

Basically...people got Dot's d!ck so far down their throat, everybody should just go ahead and stop with the responses...cause if SLR2 is a "horrible" response to somebody challenging the world to step up lyrics, then it's not even a legitimate challenge...it's just an exercise in d!ckriding at this point...everybody should save their efforts and keep it moving...the hype is way past critical mass

I did. Wether rightfully or not, I did. I did so because Kendrick basically said he was better than you and you'e supposed to come with something potent. Wether it be a diss or not, it should have been POTENT. And it wasn't. His raps were underwhelming and as an overall track it was boring.

"ain't competition, I don't move shyt
The only opposition is this new shyt
These new nikkas rappin' like they 2
They be actin' like they you, man that's-- wheeeeeew shyt
What happened to the game?
nikkas think they Jappin' cause they rappin' like they Wayne
Rappin' like they Chainz
I ain't matchin' them and platinum
But I'm rappin' like I'm flames
Like smackin' them in the back of him and my antonyms is on 'cain
And my heroin is on metaphors and my metaphors is on brains
My left foot is in LA but my right foot is in Spain
Now we all heard what he said, but what he said means we dead
And that shyt is insane
He's so crazy, look at the little baby
nikka you ain't Nas, nikka you ain't Jay-Z
You will respect me, you will reject me
But I've done so much, no matter how far you go, you will reflect me

"

horrible? you out of your damn mind

Man cut the bullshyt out. You're "dikkriding" Lupe if you think that wack ass shyt was good. shyt is wack. I'm far from a K-Dot stan but that Control verse was fire. Lupe and his stans should be ashamed that he put out that bullshyt in response.

You're easily impressed. He had some semi decent lines in the track, but overall it's nothing memorable. Boring shyt. Wack track.

I think what it comes down to is his flow

The execution didn't live up to the idea behind him using that flow

Do you know what "horrible" means breh? What lines were horrible since I'm assuming you caught all the messages in this song to be able to deem it horrible and make a thread about it.
