Best Rapper Of The New Millennium Final 4....#1 Kendrick Lamar vs #3 Lupe Fiasco (Lupe in the Final)

[i ro ny]

I'mma add these 2 lil tidbits as well.

both Mural and The Coolest are glorified freestyles.

and here are some actual ones.

 

[5th Letter]

It's tie again 50 a piece , one of the best threads in the reason right now.

Agreed. Glad this is goin til noon Friday

eh...lol.

i got a feeling that once Kendrick's album drops tomorrow, theres gonna be a lot of people who form opinions real quick on who is better.

If the album sucks then Lupe wins? If the album is good then Kendrick wins? That's nuts but I wouldn't put it past people to be prisoners of the moment.

These artists are very similar from the outside looking in

The same compliments and criticism can apply to both

Cats try to make KDot deeper than he is imo

 

[i ro ny]

this was the first song i heard by Lupe. My head exploded. I think i ran it back 30x. Kendrick doesnt have a song like this in his ENTIRE catalog.


Ugh, I can't feel a field nigga pain

Devious skill that make a strong willed nigga wane

Since a lil nigga hang with the killers and distributers of 'caine

They dismemberers of swishers then refill it with the jane

Then they tilt it and they lit with a flame then they took a pull of killer

To tha brain like (inhale noise) ah

Evil minded like Krang they became

They deranged like the rover that I rode

That was the Range that I drove when I was a little bit older mayne

Declaring war on the deck like they the joker all wild

Duckin from bruce wayne

While they polka with the devil in a moonlitten ghetto

Hello My Name stickers on the stickers of the veins

In rehab remembering the feelings when they used to get mellow

When they was all back of a nickel like Monticello

When the underworld had to be smarter than donatello

No honor amongst fellows

It's harder than sittin with a blind man and tryin to describe yellow

Got me feelin like killer joe

My life the album

Know the classics by heart and exactly how the filler go

Repeat it on my way to the liquor store, Charlie

Cause I can't feel the field niggas chains

Though I covet mine, so I covered mine in blame

Then I bumped into a bum and covered mine in shame

Then I bumped into a hun and uncovered mine again,

Diamonds then underminded mayne, they give a nigga with no mack another kinda game

See money talks in another kinda slang

Detectives can't decipher as they listen through the wire as I accept the call

And listen to the lifer

Gettin religion and makin wudhu in the sink of your cell

Recitin Al-Fatiha in the kitchen

In deed on his deen and in addition to doin dishes

Listen as I give school on the rules to rule

The Fuel of fools, the obstacles, the cool

Had to slow it down homey

Chopped and screwed

Blow it down for me

Sticks and stones make the homes

Only God's words can stop the wolves

And don't fraternize with pigs those kids will think your stool

Not at the bar but tryin to put him behind the bar like a bartender

He laid the law like the bar so I put it in a bar for dude

He said borrow my jewels and bar the fools

Cuz they a play ya like the space bar in tools

Theme music to a drive-by, put it in your car and cruise

 

[AP21]

sion...real shit...did you even listen to "double burger with cheese"?

that song aint nowhere close to the theme and imagery of Lupes song

Lupe told a fucking story using all the hood gangsta movies from our childhoods and told it in a cohesive and coherent way to the point where had you not known about those movies, you would actually think it was something he experienced. He rapped the song from the POV of ALL those people in those various films

blacker the berry is just kendrick yelling about white people and cultural appropriation

c'mon my g

You niggas live I your own world's man. Lupe is the greatest rapper of this generation apparently. I don't even think he'd agree with that. Only on the IC man.

Niggas acting like Kendrick ain't got records on records.

I knew the day would come when the IC would turn on Kendrick can't FUCKING WAIT for when they turn on J.Cole. Apparently Cole has classic albums.

I'm out man congrats Lupe.

kendrick does have records....

but when you put a track like doubleburger w/ cheese against blacker the berry....anybody with 2 ears is going to try to figure out what you heard for you to even make the comparison.

you didnt even address what @AP21 said about "Doubleburger w/ Cheese".

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Idk why it's so outlandish that ppl consider Lupe one of the GOATS....

Jay wanted to sign him, ended up executive producing his debut.

Ye cosigned him HEAVY even to this day

Mos backed down

Joe backed down

Yalls boy, Drake, made it a point on more than one occasion to acknowledge the fact he blew up AFTER Lupe. YALLS boy.

Damn near all of the industry has acknowledged Lupe.

Yet some of y'all are making it seem like he isn't deserving. Dude can rap. Period. He raps circles around ALOT of niggas, not just Kendrick and it's not even close.

If you feel the person you choose is better, why do you need to tear down the other to validate said choice? I don't need to talk down on hamburgers to validate my opinion that rib eye steak is better.
