And then a jay remix a few months later, and tour with ye right when GKMC dropped.

Like I get bro point kendrick was bigger at the start but he didn't have as many barriers at the start, lupe was gonna get to that GKMC/ TPAB if his career was handled right

Nah I think its opposite ur being unfair to Lupe. And ignoring the reality of his situation.

How is being as big as gkmc/TPAB not kendrick trajectory lol lupe career was trending to that point before it was halted

Yep but kendrick tour w drake, had an interlude on a drake album, had a huge single w rocky, 2chainz and drake 2 days after GKMC dropped. That s*** helped bro

You keep missing my point bro. I'm not sure if you're doing it on purpose or not. When did I say Kendrick wasn't helped? All of that help came after section 80, which I stated. My point again is.

If you put both of their careers on a gtaph after they got signed kendricks lowest point would be higher than lupes highest. I'm not sure if you took stats but that's not the same trajectory.. lupe was never gonna be Kendrick.

Iet me put it I'm other terms, if Kendrick retired after gkmc he would've still outsold lupe entire discography.

Maybe this is the issue. I'm using the poster u were arguing before word of trajectory. What I mean is he could of been as big as kendrick in gkmc/tpab era some point in his career. Not that they follow the same course or path.

I only brought the points of kendrick being helped with GKMC cause u said "During GKMC Kendrick didn't have a single grammy, never headlined his own tour and never had a top 10 and he was still bigger than Lupe has ever been".

And provide reasons why that would of been

Lupe has Zero platinum albums according to RIAA

To be 100% honest, his initial problems with Atlantic were his fault if we’re bein real.

From what I understand he initially had a 5 (?) album deal with Atlantic, he obv did F&L and the Cool. Then he tried to have LUPE.N.D. count as a triple album so he could finish his contract and “retire”. Lupe was like in his mid or early twenties at the time and just came off two very highly acclaimed albums with his biggest hit yet (Superstar), and was an extremely marketable artist with a ton of charisma and was one of the most respected rappers at the time even back then.

Like no f***ing s*** Atlantic was trying to hold him to actually release 5 albums as their artist at that time lmao. And then when it got ugly Atlantic was just holding on to him out of spite which was the f***ed up part.

And of course they forced him to rap on a bunch of commercial ass songs that he didn’t want to with Lasers and with whatever T&Y was before he was able to change it.

Waynes verse on that was TRASH bro lmao come on

Lupe's verse

There's an arms race, like I'm runnin' on my hands
A dance marathon on my napalms, and
Drop mine's first so that they bombs can't
And Glocks, lasers, missiles, beat rocks, paper, scissors
I built mine's big, better build yours bigger
Built mine's quick so I could kill yours quicker
The number one supplier, the world's largest equipper
The second smallest dier, best non-coexister
I pledge allegiance to gasoline and bulletproof limousines
And leans on the property of the poor
And every night, I pray to the Lords Of War
Every man and mac eleven
That all good child rebel soldiers go to AK-47 heaven
And a landmine in every playground that they step in
And you took the footage from the camera on the tips
Of our bullets, and record like former Darfur

Wayne's verse

Yeah, it's Weezy, baby!
I am your arms dealer, I'm more like an armed dealer
Liter-rally, really, I don't get this song neither
But I'mma figure it out like a palm reader
And, since I be on TV, I turn it on to see me!
Hey, I'm so cool, even I wanna be me
That was totally off the subject
But for me, every song is like p**** so f*** it
Like Fresh, you dug it
