They want competitive rap then when Lupe say he better than K-Dot it's hating, it's he in his feeling, it's who invited him. Man, I swear the internet be so confused. I'll take a ticket to see a match with Lupe vs K-Dot and whoever wins... wins! It's all good for Hip-Hop & this is what it needs. Guys showing the new generation of rappers like they really about this.
I feel like so many people are fans of specific artists/sounds/trends and have biased ulterior motives stemming out of their fandoms that serve thier own egos vs just being fans of the culture as a whole and its general growth. They dont want growth of the culture, they want growth only of what they personally value or have superficial allegiance to within the culture whether it be people, places, or things. It makes sense to a degree if you have actual ties to a sub community or person/click, but otherwise its like stop trying to live vicariously through the wins and losses of artists… especially if youre not even one yourself.
CAUSE HE AINT SAYIN IT ON A SONG, SO IT AINT RESPECTED! a lot of talkin, but no pressure bein applied. Dot has never acknowledged him, so to be obsessed is strange
I would 100% agree with you if he was in the booth saying this on wax as healthy competition among MCs & fun battle for hiphop culture. But he’s hating online..
Lupe is a hater. Love some of his work. Of course he is a lyricist. Feared? Not even slightly. That's why many of his rants go unchecked by other artists. Lupe has a problem with being from Chicago and losing his hood pass because he became the "Kick-Push rapper" and never recovered from being lumped into backpack skateboard rap category, thanks to that Tony Hawk videogame soundtrack. Then some time later, Kendrick comes along with family ties of being from Chicago and street ties by way of Compton, becomes what Kendrick couldn't. It's not even about being a "top lyricist". Was Pac a top lyricist? No, Biggie, Big L, Redman, Nas were far better but Pac was a great artist with music that resonated with the people. And it's that simple. I got love for Lupe, but he's just a hater.
You misinterpreted what he mean by ya own bias. He’s saying drake better at making rap songs, being better technically at rap is different. It’s like a kyrie-Steph thing. Curry game is more shooting than driving while Kyrie is more driving than shooting.
Lupe must be on crack now😂.. to say a person who doesn't even write his own music is better than someone who does write their own music is wild. Sure that person can have more star power because of his ghostwriters being relatable to different genres but Kendrick is authentic to his music.. no hate
@Swiftkeyprotexter he said Drake was a better rapper and Kendrick was a better performer. It's actually the opposite, since Drake raps about a life he's never lived.
I mean they both are good kids from madd cities. Lupe took that madness and created his own universe(his first two albums). And Kendrick’s used that madness to show what it can lead a good kid to do
@@jamesjones756 I didn’t say he did but him knowing and being close with someone like chilly. And songs like streets on fire or put you on game.lupe knew about that life
If he doesn't see kdot as a top lyricist it doesn't mean hate. I like kdot music but I think he is overrated too. His fans gass up his verse but it's not that nice.

Money, he is in no top 50 or even 100 list when it comes to rapping but he’s definitely 1-2 when it comes to sales and commercially
@RoroHoward no it doesn't. His taste in Rappers has nothing to do with his skill in rapping. He can like who he wants for whatever reason. It's HIS skill that matters because it would be HIM taking on KDot. I stand by what I said, Lupe is a better lyricist than KDot and that again has absolutely nothing to do with his taste in music
Bro I've never commented on your vids before, but I've been subbed to you for a long time - 4-5 years. I'm a baby fan in terms of the hip hop world, but I wanted to say I literally used your content as a 'history of hip hop' class to a degree during long commutes to and from school and work. Your content is absolutely fire. Nowadays I'm a massive Lupe fan, and I only started listening to him after hearing you break down some of his tracks. Thanks for doing what you do Quake.
People that say Lupe isn’t a top lyricist either don’t listen to him, or they don’t understand the crazy concepts metaphors, stories, patterns of rap that he does. He is the Best. I love Kendrick too but he ain’t messing with Lupe. I stand on that
Speaking of the Lupe and Royce beef. Did you hear the diss track Rocye put out a few months ago towards Lupe? The songs called Never the same and is a coplab with King Crooked. I think Lupe will respond back.
.lupe is great but this just was a bitter rant against the mainstream artist that sells millions of records and as a fan since i was 15 i would easily pick a kendrick album over a lupe one, easily
I had to remove Lupe from my top 10 MC list after he called the black community ignorant and advocated for the C*vid vaccines. He is a narcissist and believes that he is smarter than everyone in the room. Lupe just recently went on a Kendrick Twitter hating spree even opening Twitter spaces telling us that people should not be involved or comment on HIPHOP unless you have a PHD, Logic and Drake are better rappers than Kendrick yet he has a course teaching his M.I.T students on Kendrick's music/lyrics?! Twitter users were not having it and Lupe had to delete his tweets and stated he had love for Kendrick 😂 Lupe also confessed that he is working on advancing AI in the music industry, the same agenda as that popstar culture vulture Drake yet wants us to believe that he is against the system! Kendrick understands what Lupe represents and will not waste his energy/time on Lupe, they are not on the same spiritual/artistic plane ❤
If Lupe not being able to understand Kendrick elite type of pen shows he cant f with Kdot!!! Lyricism is wide and have a amount of subtleties other than double entendres. And saying Kendrick has no punchline means that guy dont even know what is punchline
I hope Kendrick comes at him asap… Lupe never had a fire cadence, timbre, voice or delivery lol Lupe’s bars are amazing for reading 🤣 yall new booty hip hop fans irk lives… Lupe can def rap but he is not HIM …. kick n push dat
Listen man this whole thing is a win for us Hip Hop fans. Competition is what makes this genre, this culture what it is. With Competition, it breeds greatness, greatness gives us great bars, great songs, great albums. Lets keep this shit going!
bruh... then smoke somebody, not play a gangsta on minor concert... is that even coachella? the smallest tent they had or what? lupe you are talented rapper but you have midlife crysis.
His first two albums made him famous then his fame died down cuz of the reception of his third and forth album but a lot of that was meddling from the studio since then he’s released stuff independently and while he’s not getting world wide attention for them they’re his best work artistically and lyrically
@@poppinc8145One correction, Lupe came out as a lyrical rapper. Both of his first two albums are heavy lyrical. Plus he was dropping mixtapes before and during where he was eating heavy too. I don't like to compare Lu and Kenny due to their styles being so different, but if we're talking about a super lyrical rapper that could appeal to the hood and make club and pop records, that was definitely Lupe Fiasco lol And honestly...still is on every front except for then "pop" style. He's not popular enough anymore, but the music still crazy.
@@Braillionaire Lupe Fiasco actually started out leaning towards gangsta rap. Then when his partner got locked up and took the heat, Lupe gave that up and stuck with backpack rap. All that's irrelevant with regards to OP's point which is about popularity and fame.
Lupe and Game are the same right now always trying to find a way to back in the conversation. Lupe stopped trying to be commercial a long time ago. Didn’t he retire? At one point i forgot he was still putting out music and he’s in my top 10 of all time. That rant was really embarrassing and I’m disappointed in him. U don’t even know dot and anytime u get a chance, u trying to shit on him like u dame dash talking about Hov. This isn’t even a real issue because they don’t have a relationship and never had. And if there is one speak on it for more context on this one sided presumed animosity. Whatever it is I bet it makes Lupe look really foolish. You 42, now u wanna hope back in the ring and be the greatest?
You little kids who dont know who he is just speaks volumes on how out of touch you kids are with real lyrics genius was made to break down lupe rhymes back in the day before yall had Kendrick go litsen to mural and show me a song Kendrick goes off like that for 10 minutes
Lupe is a genius. It's a difference between commercial music and pure artistry. Kendrick cadence and flow is what gets people excited. But lyrically he's not even the best out of his team. Ab_soul is a better lyricist. But Iistening to Lupe is exhausting. You have to listen multiple times to understand what dude be saying
Anyone who actually raps and has written raps knows none of "the big 3" better than Lupe at rapping. Say what you want about him being irrelevant or whatever but he's way nicer than all them. Mos Def backed out against him and he's nicer than all 3 too haha.
@@ClydeCyrus no for feeding into the blogs and media saying he apologized he been going at Kendrick for years and Kendrick never once said anything about Lupe
Totally disagree with him cooking 5’9. Royce didn’t want to throw shots with people who he didn’t have real beef with. At the time Royce was trying bring MC’s together and like he said where was this energy when he was in Bar exam mode calling everyone out to battle. Royce would smoke Lupe
LMAO bro...... Royce didn't wanna throw shots?? Are you joking? He spent weeks working on a a lukewarm diss record. Lupe replied to it within HOURS and poured ETHER str8 down Royce's throat. Then instead of replying Royce spent the next month crying all over Facebook live and begging his homies to get involved on his behalf. Shit was embarrassing.
Lupe wouldn’t win against Drake or Cole let alone Kendrick. RAP BATTLES ARE WON BY PERSONALS!!!! Not lyrical exercises!!! What TF would Lupe say against any of those 3?? Kendrick would violate tf outta Lupe!
@seanthornton726 listen to Lupe Fiasco -Mf Doom freestyle Tribute. Then listen to any other freestyle from Lupe. Lupe can use anyone's flow and go dumb...and much more.
Lupe has one of the few albums I’ve listened to cover to cover & I have never listen to Kendrick cover to cover same with Drake, been put on his album and let it play all the way.

Lupe is dope lyricist but against Kendrick he will meet the same demise.
Bro I've never commented on your vids before, but I've been subbed to you for a long time - 4-5 years. I'm a baby fan in terms of the hip hop world, but I wanted to say I literally used your content as a 'history of hip hop' class to a degree during long commutes to and from school and work. Your content is absolutely fire.
Nowadays I'm a massive Lupe fan, and I only started listening to him after hearing you break down some of his tracks.
Thanks for doing what you do Quake.
Wow thank you so much for this comment I appreciate it a lot. Thank you for the constant support without you I wouldn’t be able to do it.
Conscious rappers going gangster and gangster rappers going conscious 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lupe was always gangster
You don't know who Lupe is
lupe was always gangster
It’s Aries Season 😈🔥
Oh yeah. That explains a lot LOL
Also, isn't there some Aries energy connected to this eclipse that happened recently?
No it's Gemini season
People forget about Luke fiasco. I been a fan since 2008.
There's a reason Lupe is a professor for rap lol. Do the knowledge people.
No one is touching Lupe!! They all know that
Ab soul vs Lupe who you got?
@@t-god2439Soul.
Soul and Daylyt is on that level
@@jrkin you heard their battle?
stop
Lupe is a top 5 MC of this era and time so put some respect on his name like Birdman said!!
🫡🎯🔥🔥
People that say Lupe isn’t a top lyricist either don’t listen to him, or they don’t understand the crazy concepts metaphors, stories, patterns of rap that he does. He is the Best. I love Kendrick too but he ain’t messing with Lupe. I stand on that
Lupe is an assassin, he’s extremely underrated for his lyricism
Well, his peers seem to think different.
@@stifler5062 of course, it’s a competitive landscape, why wouldn’t someone want to believe they’re the best? I’m loving all of this, we needed this
For sure, even a song like “The Cool” blows a lot of other rappers out of the water.
@@stifler5062 nas said lupe is better than him lol
Lmao love this energy Lupe fiasco on bro goddamn😂
Speaking of the Lupe and Royce beef. Did you hear the diss track Rocye put out a few months ago towards Lupe? The songs called Never the same and is a coplab with King Crooked.
I think Lupe will respond back.
.lupe is great but this just was a bitter rant against the mainstream artist that sells millions of records and as a fan since i was 15 i would easily pick a kendrick album over a lupe one, easily
Lupe can go toe to toe with Kendrick.
Lupe wins that hands down
@@ruggedtechie5867facts. I actually have to study lupe lyrics like frfr
I want more rappers to have the same type of confidence and pride in their craft as Lupe
I like Lupe. I understand the sport of hip hop but I am disappointed in Lupe 😂 to do this at this moment in time in hip hop history.
I think I need to clean my ears out- did this man just mention Lloyd Banks like three times in this conversation??
Bro Lloyd Banks is the PLK!!!
Lloyd Banks pen game was not to be played with
To my replies- I’ll go back and have a listen and see if I slept on LB too hard, lol 🫶🏼
The issue with Lupe is that he gone rap the beat verse of his life.. but because of his sound. Nobody is going to want to hear it..
Literally
I like when Lupe says he will destroy any rapper because he's one of the few actually willing to prove it
My favorite rapper is like Scrappy Doo out here.😂
No one fucking with Lupe lyrically let’s all be real here if your a real hip hop head you know this
Cassidy???
I had to remove Lupe from my top 10 MC list after he called the black community ignorant and advocated for the C*vid vaccines. He is a narcissist and believes that he is smarter than everyone in the room. Lupe just recently went on a Kendrick Twitter hating spree even opening Twitter spaces telling us that people should not be involved or comment on HIPHOP unless you have a PHD, Logic and Drake are better rappers than Kendrick yet he has a course teaching his M.I.T students on Kendrick's music/lyrics?! Twitter users were not having it and Lupe had to delete his tweets and stated he had love for Kendrick 😂 Lupe also confessed that he is working on advancing AI in the music industry, the same agenda as that popstar culture vulture Drake yet wants us to believe that he is against the system! Kendrick understands what Lupe represents and will not waste his energy/time on Lupe, they are not on the same spiritual/artistic plane ❤
Ppl saying Lupe will kill Dot is crazy, lol KDot skills go over ppl heads.
Listen to Mural and tell me if Kendrick got anything on the level of that.
And Lupe's skills don't? LOL
Then you haven't listened to enough Lupe to understand.
Lupe will have Kendrick's wife begging Kendrick to get back inside the house.
lupe would annihilate kendrick easily lol, Kendrick isn't near lupes level lyrically
What a time to be alive, that is all I can say!
Drake is not a threat to lupes legacy so he likes him over kendrick. 😂
He's a hater period. Lupe is full of shit
If Lupe not being able to understand Kendrick elite type of pen shows he cant f with Kdot!!!
Lyricism is wide and have a amount of subtleties other than double entendres.
And saying Kendrick has no punchline means that guy dont even know what is punchline
You can’t speak on lyricism when you refer to charts to determine who’s winning a battle
Can’t
Did Lupe win a Pulitzer prize ?
Well conversation over then
I hope Kendrick comes at him asap… Lupe never had a fire cadence, timbre, voice or delivery lol Lupe’s bars are amazing for reading 🤣 yall new booty hip hop fans irk lives… Lupe can def rap but he is not HIM …. kick n push dat
i fuck with Kendrick heavily, but when Lupe said that Kendrick isn’t a better lyricist than him, there’s a reason why that nigga didn’t respond.
Bet on Lupe cuz he cooked Royce is small minded. Dot is a different type of beast
Bro tryna be tough in front of 100 people😂
I don't think that was funny😢but ok
Bro is also correct
@@megaisgod1have you been to his concerts?
5:25 Lupe grey ?
I love Lupe alot. But this ain’t your fight dog. I definitely feel the animosity towards Kendrick.
lupe is the goat 🐐 real ones know
GOAT ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody knows who he is
yall probably kids mentally and physically i wont argue with yall
Stop trying to be different
@@asm-art7641 u sound dumb
I appreciate you for showing Banks love! He deserves more
Yes he does one of the most underrated mc’s of all time
When I was a kid I use to throw rocks at the moon to.
Listen man this whole thing is a win for us Hip Hop fans. Competition is what makes this genre, this culture what it is. With Competition, it breeds greatness, greatness gives us great bars, great songs, great albums. Lets keep this shit going!
Sounds like an invitation to Kendrick to me!!
He just came out with new song sounds like he wants the challenge
Kendrick has been dodging him for 12 years.
@daywalker48603 sounds like he wanna be the big me baum!
I have better luck discovering the philosophers stone than deciphering Lupe fiasco bars
Control verse was fk'N fire had everyone in their feelings even dudes who's names werent call
I am here for Hip Hop's resurrection! Let battles begin! on some highlander vibes only the greatest MC can survive!
Too Late.. Lupe already apologized.. Stop apologizing and being soft.
It don't matter your opinion. Lupe approaches hip Hop like an MC should. And can back it up (But so can Kendrick IMO 🤷)
he did a lot of woofing on that stage but won't say candyman's name on a record
bruh... then smoke somebody, not play a gangsta on minor concert... is that even coachella? the smallest tent they had or what? lupe you are talented rapper but you have midlife crysis.
Ive never listened to Lupe, I always thought his time came and went and never got alot of buzz
Never got a lot of buzz? Lupe had mainstream success in the beginning. I understand he's not hitting now, but to say he never had a lot of buzz 😂
Lupe was a popstar in the late-2000s and early-2010s. He transitioned to more lyrical rap, got screwed by the labels, then went underground.
His first two albums made him famous then his fame died down cuz of the reception of his third and forth album but a lot of that was meddling from the studio since then he’s released stuff independently and while he’s not getting world wide attention for them they’re his best work artistically and lyrically
@@poppinc8145One correction, Lupe came out as a lyrical rapper. Both of his first two albums are heavy lyrical. Plus he was dropping mixtapes before and during where he was eating heavy too.
I don't like to compare Lu and Kenny due to their styles being so different, but if we're talking about a super lyrical rapper that could appeal to the hood and make club and pop records, that was definitely Lupe Fiasco lol
And honestly...still is on every front except for then "pop" style. He's not popular enough anymore, but the music still crazy.
@@Braillionaire Lupe Fiasco actually started out leaning towards gangsta rap. Then when his partner got locked up and took the heat, Lupe gave that up and stuck with backpack rap. All that's irrelevant with regards to OP's point which is about popularity and fame.
Lupe and Game are the same right now always trying to find a way to back in the conversation. Lupe stopped trying to be commercial a long time ago. Didn’t he retire? At one point i forgot he was still putting out music and he’s in my top 10 of all time. That rant was really embarrassing and I’m disappointed in him. U don’t even know dot and anytime u get a chance, u trying to shit on him like u dame dash talking about Hov. This isn’t even a real issue because they don’t have a relationship and never had. And if there is one speak on it for more context on this one sided presumed animosity. Whatever it is I bet it makes Lupe look really foolish. You 42, now u wanna hope back in the ring and be the greatest?
Lupe Fiasco is going to Diss Kendrick Lamar on the album Samurai and Kendrick Lamar is going to respond back on his album and Destroy Lupe Fiasco
Fuck whoever this dude be
Kendrick Lamar has no competition
You little kids who dont know who he is just speaks volumes on how out of touch you kids are with real lyrics genius was made to break down lupe rhymes back in the day before yall had Kendrick go litsen to mural and show me a song Kendrick goes off like that for 10 minutes
"whoever this dude be"
Opinion immediately dismissed.
The Cool eats Kendricks whole discography. And he paints inhis spare time. Kenny knows his place. 😂
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Lupe is a genius. It's a difference between commercial music and pure artistry.
Kendrick cadence and flow is what gets people excited. But lyrically he's not even the best out of his team. Ab_soul is a better lyricist.
But Iistening to Lupe is exhausting. You have to listen multiple times to understand what dude be saying
Lupe > Kendrick
Lupe fiasco saying drake is a better rapper than kendrick is like someone saying drake is a better rapper than lupe.
Lupe is delusional he can rap but he also thought he legitimately beat daigo umehara in street fighter so he’s idk lol
I don't like DragonBall Z
"WHAT DID HE SAYYYYY?"
@@MedranoHijo yeah he bugging lmao
Uhhhhh lupe is cooking almost anyone
@@ruggedtechie5867 I’ll wash Lupe in street fighter
I was on the verge of giving the middle finger to hip hop then I heard "Food and Liquor"! It was a rebirthing of my hip hop soul😂
Anyone who actually raps and has written raps knows none of "the big 3" better than Lupe at rapping.
Say what you want about him being irrelevant or whatever but he's way nicer than all them.
Mos Def backed out against him and he's nicer than all 3 too haha.
Nobody cares. Lupe is NO Mos Def btw 😂😂😂
@@AngeBiampandou Yeah he's better haha
@@darionraethis nigga really said most def better than lupe...like huh?
To see Lupe this motivated and aggressive at his age wow this is really great 👏
Lupe really loosing my respect man
For speaking his mind instead of running with narratives?
@@ClydeCyrus no for feeding into the blogs and media saying he apologized he been going at Kendrick for years and Kendrick never once said anything about Lupe
Losing*
@@noblejosher4185 thank you Siri for the fucking autocorrect
@@ClydeCyrusand the outlandish ish he was saying during CV19 as well
Lupe is a good rapper but not known for destroying anyone
He destroyed Royce lol😊
Lupe is who Kendrick want to be 💯
Hi on this side 👋🏼 📍 TennAKey 🔑
Is he mad he didn't get mentioned in the control verse😂😂😂 That's crazy consider how long he'd been in the game then
Who’s checking for Lupe like THAT still.. K DOT definitely make these rappers get in their feels and get weird.. Love Lupe but he sounds like a hater
He sounds like a hater by saying he's the best, the same way that literally all rappers do?😂
Me
Totally disagree with him cooking 5’9. Royce didn’t want to throw shots with people who he didn’t have real beef with. At the time Royce was trying bring MC’s together and like he said where was this energy when he was in Bar exam mode calling everyone out to battle. Royce would smoke Lupe
FACTS
LMAO bro......
Royce didn't wanna throw shots?? Are you joking? He spent weeks working on a a lukewarm diss record. Lupe replied to it within HOURS and poured ETHER str8 down Royce's throat. Then instead of replying Royce spent the next month crying all over Facebook live and begging his homies to get involved on his behalf. Shit was embarrassing.
Lupe is correct tho Kendrick is a great rapper but doesn’t have hard bars at all that’s the difference between him and Cole
Lupe wouldn’t win against Drake or Cole let alone Kendrick. RAP BATTLES ARE WON BY PERSONALS!!!! Not lyrical exercises!!! What TF would Lupe say against any of those 3?? Kendrick would violate tf outta Lupe!
Lupe is the greatest rapper of all time
SAYS NO ONE EVER
The most lyrically complex battle of all time would have been Lupe vs MF Doom
*Cassidy vs Eminem
Nah bro mf doom not fucking with lupe.
@@RETAINGANG16 All Caps...
@seanthornton726 listen to Lupe Fiasco -Mf Doom freestyle Tribute. Then listen to any other freestyle from Lupe. Lupe can use anyone's flow and go dumb...and much more.
I mean if lupe feels so strongly he should make his little diss track already. All this chest thunping and woofing is corny. Come with the action.
This lame behavior
He really means it too. The world saw what he did to Royce, that was light work 😂😂😂😂. The GOAT of lyrics
Lupe dont wanna battle LL cool J though 😂😂
You can't be serious 😢
Wtf 😂 🤣 🙆🏼♂️
Lupe has one of the few albums I’ve listened to cover to cover & I have never listen to Kendrick cover to cover same with Drake, been put on his album and let it play all the way.
