What Lupe got over Kendrick that’s not discussed enough is he got a noteworthy mixtape discog compared to Kenny. Fahrenheit Series, FNF mixtape vol 1, pre-F&L loosies, enemy of the state, friend of the people, and pharaoh height are all flames

kendrick has better singles.

Nah this happened in late 2016 when describing some of his label people as “dirty Jewish execs”

ohhh

This sounds like a real hip hop fan here, not those Kendrick stans

09-11 kendrick is basically a mixtape career and it was noteworthy during the time.

that shocks me though

i feel like lupe's singles
are what makes him great

you've got the surface level jam

but underneath you've
got the depth of worlds

Its not like Kendrick is a scrub when it comes to singles. Lupe is a better lyricist than Kendrick by a bit for me, and I love Lupe more than the average person here but people really try and downplay Kendrick in defense of other artist on here a lot, maybe to combat some of the overhyping he gets but it still leaves people seeming kinda off in their argument. Like preferring Kendrick’s singles to Lupe’s doesn’t warrant a bunch of question marks but Paris Tokyo is a CLASSIC one of my fav songs oat

Lupe is a top 5 mixtape rapper OAT imo

But you love at least 3 of them if not u tripping

And thats just as many as u named for Lupe

I feel like nowadays if you don’t deny kendrick is a great artist u get made out to be a d***rider tbh

i believe the greatness of an emcee can be measured by how profound they are even in the big moments

it's why we have Jay so high

Pac so high

etc

Lupe is one of the best at that

or he was at that time at least

Fr he’s almost like Wayne in that regard

Besides Kick Push, Daydreamin his best single

I got the good kid, mad city

Fr man I bumped those Lupe tapes sooooo much

His National Anthem is better than the Kid A version for me

And how he killed Maybe by NERD man

i mean sure but what i'm saying is

i think the lupe songs are better as songs

and i personally enjoy them more too

wow this one is very tough. probably F&L by a small bit

Alright is a better more iconic song than any of those tbh with a message too

Kendrick got some fire in that time too but I count s80 as his album, KL Ep was cool and OD was okay. Thing is he MASSIVELY improved since then

I dont think either rapper is a good battle rapper but I'm more inclined to go with Lupe on this just cause hes a weirdo
