This Lupe x Kendrick thing has been brewing for a good year now....

[Crakface]

better music than lupe, what like black boy fly? poetic justice? he has yet to even become comparable to lupe's catalogue, that's what u nikkas not getting. lupe has handfulls of classic songs under his belt, with rarely any features. jay elect sounds nothing like lupe, nor is lupe's flow lazy. he's proven himself to have multiple kinds of flows (see "Switch" for example)

what are performance chops? i don't see how you can call kendrick a more complete mc than lupe breh... lupe is literally looking down on that clown.

like seriously, listening to "Say Something" while reading the lyrics - you'll actually get a high from how nasty & deep this nikka lupe can get

So you listen to lupes last 3 albums and say these are better than GKMC, Overly Dedicated, Section 80. I just cant agree with you. I believe Lupe has the talent but he doesnt know how to direct it in a way that translates to classic albums. Lupes catalogue is nice but his albums arent.

Food n Liquor ok coo

Not 1 album after that is better than ANY kendrick album but hes got a lot of great verses spanning his career. Hes vulnerable right now. He needs to chill with all that SLR shyt before he ends up with a SLR snapshot of a infared K Dot on his forehead.

Hes biting Biggies flow here.

I got this, too. Not necessarily "biting," but definitely co-opting BIG's delivery.

When the lyrics are this good, I tend to give the rapper the benefit of the doubt - so I assume he was doing it on purpose and for a reason.

F&L is 10x better than any one of Kendrick's albums. & why is lupe's work before his last 3 albums thrown in the bushes?

When it boils down to who is a better mc, lu wins. It's not even close to close. From your previous posts I can tell you prefer rap where nikkas dumb shyt down for you, so have at it. I like to learn, i like to progress in life. I google shyt nikkas mention in they raps that I don't understand. I'm that nikka. I don't see rap as just entertainment, lu has purpose when he raps, which is why i respect his work

if Lupe had Kendricks musicality...that's one thing I do give to that humming mumbling motherfukka kendrick...that nikka be hummin something serious.

 

[Mindfield333]

Man... I have yet to year Kendrick do some extended metaphor shyt like Lupe used to do

BUT... Lupe hasn't done that since his old Mixtapes (see ROTN)

What Kendrick doesn't have in Lupe level lyricism he makes up in emotion, reliability & intensity

 

[Moose_Greyjoy]

Who is arguing that Kendrick is more lyrical? He's currently making A LOT better music than Lupe currently is. That's all I give a fukk. Once Lupe starts dropping shyt like The Cool and F and L then he can talk again. That response track is tho lyrically

Exactly and I'm a Lu stan

But if competing with Kendrick means a better Lu....I'm all for that

 

[spliz]

Who was he imitating when he lined up the industry and laid your favorite rappers down.

nikka aint lay none of my fav rappers down...and that verse wasnt even what nikkas hypin it up to be...

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Kendrick a better song writer and artist but Lupe a better rapper... He is starting to turn into Black Eminem tho, he doesn't know what to do with all that talent

 

[intilectual recipricol]

Damn... Kendrick Minaj stans are still furious...

All ya guy K dot Minaj has to do is come out with a track... seems he avoidin this SLR shyt like the plague... that nikka Lu with pure unadulterated BARS. No fake gun sounds no nicki minaj voice effects just good ol fashioned lyricism. That's why he's the gawd... Not only that, Luelse said he the king of LA and one foot was in Spain Its gon take a nikka like E40 to come get Lu, not this alien ass "du du du.... like BLA empty the magazine like BLA" ass nikka. He don't wanna see the banana 6 clips unload into his weak frame. This was just a knee shot, disabled.

 

[NormanConnors]

it has shades of Nas/Jay

Lupe could probably take on the whole TDE dolo

yep, AB would give him more trouble than Kendrick imo, even still Lu would wash him easy

 

[NormanConnors]

It doesnt matter what Lupe can do. What he does, as of late, for the last 2 albums isnt impressive. Kendricks 3 albums are better than Lupes last 3 albums.

Regardless Kendrick hasn't reached the bar yet, he doesn't have a song in his catalog better than Lupe's The Cool, the content, storytelling and lyricism on that track is just

Remember this guy??

 

[GetInTheTruck]

listen.... too many people mistake Kendrick's flow for lyricism. He is NOT fukking wit this man. Stop comparing the two



'Ya hopefully hand over the Land Rover keys slow-e-ly and run like hosiery
I move eggs like ovaries closed lactose and sudairy who y'all suppose to be?
None of them close to me, my poetry poison til' they posing me and little kids poking me openly
fukk police I slip through they fingers like rosariesoff the hook with the .38 rotaries
Get it locally move anti-socially, twice the rapper get from both of me jokingly
So constant' & nonchalant' fromBIC's to Mont Blanc's
Who's conscience he's not the one to confront
Worth my weight you impersonate
nikkas like Miller Light spit it right in your life, terminate
I'm the worst case scenario bump heads for coins like Mario
Pop more rounds than Merry-Go, from birth date to burial
In South Beach beeches going south with they mouth piece without speech
Oh now he's official from the start, they miss you, holding vigils in the dark
Go head try and stop it, couldn't block son with Hawaiian Tropic
What's in your pockets my profits
Foxes pick me up like chop sticks, this hotness
They wanna put me in boxes like chocolates...that's nonsense
Nothin' sweet about this but the hotel room Presidential like the wrist
I know, I'm sorry I never mental end shyt
Never rental get mine freeway like Van Wyck
Peace to Francis and all my mans-is take trips to France-es where all my mans is
With fifths in hands-es rewind and chant this, nikkas!

I got a bezel from embezzlin'Good Heavens! And they said I lost it in 97'
About to start using Mexicans not cause they better than just cause I get Si Senor not I need more
With chicks from Singapore from bunk beds with 'Tonio
To twelve room Colonials and still testimonial
And so I keep it secret, in the kitchen in the cabinet
In a jar where the grease is L-U-P speaks it til' its pieces
Peanut butter like
Always been a quiet cat not the meanest motherfukker type
If you find a gram plus, I'd be buffin' brass Knucks
Best listen to your dawgs, get Son of Sam'd up, what!
Ahead of my time, failed history passed chemistry, quiet nines in Quinine
My energy always be weaponry to unload
While there's people to holdup reputations to uphold
I'm Gung Ho with them white lines, not the kind that divides traffic
But the kind that reminds addicts,automatics to yo attic
Tecked out Porsche' in the decked out Boxer WASup!
Fed's is nice with the camera's, challengers get beat black and lavender
Women put my name across the chest like janitors
Fans of the, hustler under the stairs his fiends on the banisters WHAT!!!

This was BIGS flow too
