Better Album 2k15: Lupe Fiasco – "Tetsuo & Youth" vs Kendrick Lamar - "To Pimp a Butterfly"

[LcnsdbyROYALTY]

Lupe should sign with TDE.

From how Ab-Soul came off on TRON vs his last album, he needs to sign with Lupe.

And they'll both continue to move like 5 albums every release lol.

You do know Lupe has 3 gold albums and at least 2 Platinum singles & a Grammy right?

Nigga we're talking about now lol...Is T&Y even close to going gold? Matter of fact has Lupe has a gold album or single since Lasers?

So you're just gonna pretend that hip hop isn't a fickle as genre? Sales are not tantamount to quality

Lupe net worth is 8-14 million dollars. He has 5 Ferraris a Ghost and a few other whips. I think money is not a major issue with him. It's about the music. And who really go Platinum now of days. That's rare. People don't really even buy rap albums like that. Keep it real with yourselves.

Bro, all of that is irrelevant...the truth is Lupe has no steam running behind him and since he doesnt, no one that signs to Lupe (if that was even possible) will either. Lupe has had a great career but you'd be lying to yourself if you try and claim that right now he's making noise like years gone past. If he wants to make music and be able to get quality production and creative control TDE might be a good place for him. That's all I was saying.

 

[power_wisdom]

True, I think Rock Nation might be a good fit too. Believe me, Jay and Kanye and a few other execs are looking at the project and seeing the potential. Jay wanted to sign him before too.

It's all in the quotes. My comment was relevant to yours which I directly quoted. You said some dumb shyt, I stepped in with the real. No love lost homie.

 

[LcnsdbyROYALTY]

Why are niggas acting like this shyt ain't well documented? This nigga had a saboteur in the form of his label for years. Said label put ZERO marketing into Lupe's last album. No money for videos. The most they did was set him up with a small promo run when everything was said and done. That takes nothing away from the quality of the product. But that sales talk is always gonna be a point of discussion.... Fuck it.

*Kanye shrug*

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

yes, the album sounds like one long ass

Hol up so the flow on Mural, Tron, and Adoration of the Magi are all the same? Really now

Y'all peeped how he smooth side stepped this question tho. You can always tell who really listens to these joints before they critique.

What do u want me to say? Your wrong? haha, you did make me lol though

This nigga has been asked at least 3 times to explain this and he still cant hasnt

What would you like me to explain? Listen to the verses and tell me that they don't all sound similar, don't just listen to the first 5 seconds of the song, I mean the vereses, then take a step back and listen to the beats and the similar feel they have

Then step back and remove Lupe from your anal cavity

I listened to this album multiple times and the verses dont sound the same. Call me bias and every name in the book it dont mean anything to me. You niggas pull the stan card on everything even if i'm screaming how mediocre Lasers & how F&L2 left much to be desired. Some of you bum ass niggas hear what you want. I'm stating the obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about and when asked about it you've looked to insults and having gay erotic thoughts in your head you wanted to share and niggas like Peezy liked it. Say no more doggie.

this coming from the nigga with naked pics of kris humphries saved on his computer, bitch ass nigga still cryin about reaction clicks, what a fatherless pussy, go the fuck outside n stop lettin reaction clicks hurt u.

Lol bruh...the whole convo started because I said Lupe should sign with TDE. Homie said if anything Ab-soul should sign with Lupe. Then I said they'll both sell like 5 copies lol which is true. Lupe ain't selling like he use to and Ab-soul ain't never moved units like that so how is that beneficial to either of them? I never once equated sales to quality. I was just pointing out that Lupe doesn't have the juice like he use to--which his numbers reflect.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

lupe prolly goin indy, and it'd be just fine/the best for him, i was shocked he aint sell more than he did tho

I don't like when rap fans count a rap nigga's pockets. That's a feminine trait to me.

The bolded is all that matters.. as far as we're posters on this forum

 

[rip.dilla]

Both albums: ying and yang both totally different concepts and I bought both of 'em

We should be celebrating good music given us than trying to shit on each of these niggas.

Vote for whom you prefer, explain your reasons without talking down on any of them. Keep it civil.

[CracceR]

I can care less about what a rapper has. That's doesn't help me in life. But a lot of people claim that sale = impact and success. My point if you read the whole conversation was Lupe didn't have an issue with Atlantic about getting jerk for money like most rappers. It's about creativity control with his music.

Lmao @ some of the comments on the last 2 pages. Yall wild bruh
