How Kendrick Lamar Was Just Challenged By Lupe Fiasco…

As the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef settles down for now, it seems like one rapper who Kendrick may beef with next has never been more ready to get into a full fledged rap beef...

[@paulanicolethomason7252]

Lupe should challenge Drake. He said Drake is more talented than Kendrick, so why not get someone on his level. Hmm.

[@WearsTheArt]

Dot’s career is what Lupe envisioned for himself.

[@MJDavis20]

I agree, i think hes jealous of the love that kendrick gets from fans and i say this as someone who is a big lupe fan. Lupe got blackballed from his comments on obama and he never really recovered from it. I think hes definitely bitter about putting out dope shit and not really getting recognized for it outside of his core fanbase.

[@jvx5525]

Thats not Kendricks fault. Hating on another Obviously talented man that even Drake knows is more talented, just not more popular is unattractive and a turn off for ppl that wld consider listening to Lupe's new music.

[@WearsTheArt]

To say Kendrick is a pseudo intellectual is really strange as there's no reason to believe that, nor would it really matter. There is no universe in which Lupe could find an angle that would sway public opinion in his favor. Kendrick has a very bulletproof career and a far greater resume than Lupe.

Don't agree with Lupe here, but he is still the GOAT. He is hip hop's OFFICIAL Boogieman. NOBODY wants to make Lupe "famous" again by getting destroyed by him, so artists avoid him. That said, in interviews, WAY TOO MANY knowledgeable artists have Lupe in their top 5. From Ye, to Mo's Def. The industry knows who Lupe is, they just pretend Lupe doesn't exist. They don't want the smoke. I wouldn't be surprised if Lupe was a Ghost Writer.

[@avashirley2912]

Yeah no one even talks about Yasmin Bey like that and Kanye will say that because they are both Chicago natives. Lupe likes to show everyone his lyrical intelligence on all his albums so every one can praise his smarts, but never underestimate a genius like Kendrick. Lupe has shown his whole hand. We don’t know how far Kdot’s range can reach. Everyone underestimated that Kendrick could make a hit diss record like Drake and he did, so don’t think all he does on albums is the best of his capabilities. Never underestimate the opponent. People will allow you to see what they want you to see. Lupe is emotional like Drake too so that could definitely work to his disadvantage.
