Yes he was lol. He had top 10 hits pre streaming era. His next album after cool was gonna put him on Kendrick Cole popularity because everyone was anticipating it. But delay after delay and label issues crushed that from happening
People are tryna rewrite history but Lupe, Ye and Pharrell were really the forefathers of that blog era lmao they was out here rockin Goyard and s*** in 07 while niggas was making ringtone songs lmao
Lupe had hits and all that. LUPEnd was anticipated like crazy especially when Shining Down leaked
I like False T-shirts Dover Street is off the handle
Such a good designer, Junya Watanabe, god damn you...
If you listen to Queens Get The Money (which is produced by Jay, and also throws subs at 50 who Jay has had problems with), that s*** sounds really outside his lane with his flow and word choice
I don’t think anyone wants to publicly admit they gave the goats bars though
It sounds more than a few bars...the entire thing sounds like Jay.

This is BS. Imma dismantle all of this in a sec. Lupe was no where near Pharrell and ye level.

You full of s***
In 7 mins he did it
If he knew how to freestyle
He could’ve rented Heaven for 7 mins
And been done what needed to be done by the 2nd sentence
All this extra innings may come across as master
But my impressions apprentice
Ya penmanship has the fingerprints of a gimmick
And the affection and intimacy of impressions of that nigga you friends with
Ether

Lupe has Zero platinum albums according to RIAA

Niggas was literally bout to drop an album together lmaoo

In what way was he on Kendrick and Coles trajectory? And just because they were gonna do an album together doesn't mean they were on the same level.
The Cool and F and L are still not platinum bro lol.

And he was still Grammy nominated, and when I say Cole / Kendrick trajectory I’m talking about terms in being the thinking mans rapper in the mainstream like how they are now lmao.
Kanye was seen as an anomaly and made it cool to be something other than a gangsta rapper but I really feel like Lupe coming in and having the Nerdy image he did led to the blog rap era with the cool kids, PAC Div and half the 09 XXL FRESHMAN LIST.
Blu, Charles Hamilton, etc they were occupying a lane that he opened up in 97

No Nerd rapper ever became huge bro. Zero What blueprint did he lay out that Kendrick and Cole followed?
And Kendrick passed Lupe commercially with GKMC
Lupe has Pharrell and Kanye on his debut and a Jay Z executie production.
Kendrick had none of that and still lapped him.
Wayne isn't better than Lupe lyrically but he had way better, more quotable, more creative verse than Lupe
Which is the point I was proving that, you don't have to be better lyrically to out rap him lol.
More creative verses? Do you know the s*** lupe was doing back then lmaooo
Wayne dominated that era commercially, and he ran that s*** but dont come here with s*** that really ain't true. At most they were both creative in their own ways

Charles Hamilton flopped because of his mental issues and controversies not cuz of him being a nerd lmao
You talking about Lupes guest features and executive production like Kendrick ain’t have a f***in post Take Care Drake verse and Dr Dre executive producing. WHAT? Lmaoooo

Wayne dominated that era lyrically. Don't get it f***ed up. Wayne didn't become the best by being the most popular. He was rapping the best.

Section 80 came out before take care and Dr dre didn't produce anything in that era. Lol what are you saying?
I f*** with Kendrick too I think he has a better discography for the record @CliCity but Lupe took Ls with his record label that stuck with him for his whole career
Section 80 came out before take care and Dr dre didn't produce anything in that era. Lol what are you saying?
No I’m saying Dre is listed as an executive producer on GKMC like Jay is on F&L. I’m saying both them niggas had help
Lu was kinda wylin in that live when he came in with shirt off. Him saying he gone "make a professional fool out of himself" set royce off to call him a b**** then s*** just spiraled out of control from there. The energy lu came in with was hostile. Guess he just got done exercising which is why his shirt was off, nigga Testosterone was through the roof.

But kendricks debut is s80 bro lol. He didn't have those crutches. The first.time kendrick hit the mainstream he was bigger than lupe was in his entire career and that's why its weird to say he would've would've been Kendrick or he was on some path to be as big as him.
