Are people really too young to know Lupe was poppin at one point

He wasn’t that popping. That has been completely overblown.

Lupe would’ve definitely become a platinum selling artist if Atlantic didn’t interfere with this 3rd album..

Lupe whole career path would’ve ended up different if he and the label didn’t beef the way they did

Just playing Reason's one liner disses in my head rn

"Them shots you sent to the crew was cute Lu, but how we we supposed to respect the cool when the 1st black president dont wanna bump you." Or some s***

Idk he had a good following on his first few albums and Lasers did pretty well IIRC. He’s definitely seen some success in his career imo

Lupe pushed 150K on his second album and then 200K+ on his third album. He had his moment

At this point Punch is just threatening us with Reason songs. Lupe better not waste his time on The Soul pt 3.

Punch- Be careful,what you ask for you might get it.

Lupe-Be careful my nigga i do this for a livin.

Ghetto mythologies colonize my mind constantly

F&L sold 81k first week and isn’t gold yet.

The Cool debut 143k and hasn’t gone platinum yet

Lasers sold 203k and still hasnt gone platinum yet.

His biggest record is show goes one that’s 3x platinum.

He was never gonna be kendrick Lamar. And that’s fine. They both occupy different spaces now.

Kendrick surpassed all those stats with GKMC.

Y’all just say s*** man lol

Superstar and Kick Push were hits

Lupe had his moment pre 2010

No they weren’t. Lol. Look at my post literally above you. That’s a false
Narrative y’all run with.

i really dont want kendrick wasting a round on lupe.

Well I’m not arguing that I’m just saying Lupe at one point was a mainstream rapper who was recognizable. I missed the whole post I just hopped in at the end tbh lol

I don’t give a f*** about sales. I was a child who wasn’t really on the internet yet and both of those songs reached me and were huge to us as kids.

Lmao at needing Google to tell me about s*** i was alive for

Kick push isn’t even gold. Lol. Wtf are you talking abut. How is that a Hit. After all these years and it’s still not gold and it’s a hit. Lol.

I think his placement is over stated. He wasn’t on the verge of breaking out the pack. His numbers don’t support that.

Kendrick would bury Lupe lmaoo

dUdE DId U LiStEn To MuRAal??

Imagine thinking your anecdotal evidence means something was a hit

Again what does that matter when I was a child and it reached me and my friends as a kid who didn’t get on the internet like that yet

Like that >>> you searching 12 years later about whether it went gold or not lmaoo

Kick Push was everywhere if you were outside.

From the start of the day on MTV to the radio to other cars playing it to the stores you went to.

You buggin.

Everyone knows those songs.

If it was everywhere it would represented by going gold. It wasn’t that big. It isn’t gold after all these year.

It was big for him. In the grand scheme of things it wasn’t a hit. Not even close.
