why are you arguing this point?

But we’re talking about singles and impact

Why do singles even matter if we’re talking about hip hop heads

Smh

Because you said I was crazy for saying Dumb It Down isn’t one of his most known songs
U just said that, u got short term memory or something?

they matter because they are a part of the equation when discussing S tier emcees

how you approach your
singles says a lot about you

so it's a very good way to discuss
different attributes certain emcees display

It sucks that due to those singles, casuals labeled him as some pop rapper and many people I talked to irl weren't aware that he makes music to this day

Shows you how irrelevant he is nowadays ngl

Well even if bringing them up as a measuring point against Kendrick he still does pretty well with singles

Most of his singles have a message and fit within the context of his albums

Yeah his singles are pretty good for the most part too. Paris Tokyo is one of the best songs on the cool

People forget about Battle Scars and Old School Love too, great songs that were popular too

Daydreamin, Kick Push

Lu’s singles were solid

I guess the only ones I didnt love were show goes on and b**** bad. B**** bad beat felt like an epic rap battles of history beat

B**** bad just a dumb song period

B**** Bad aged terribly, listened to it recently and holy s*** the beat is epitome of generic

I still like his flow but the concept and beat eh

Lasers-Fnl2 was just wasted potential. No solid team behind him to make things work.

Thread lead me towards Us Placers, I need a moment this still hurts

B**** Bad planted the seed for Lu to make Drogas LIGHT, just a huge self aware parody of rap. Jump is still a cool song though

Goddamn forgot about this too

Man has given this world too many incredible raps

I f*** with Lupe he’s one of the best rappers of all time, super underrated multiple classics under his belt

Stop hating on Kendrick, u are OBVIOUSLY on the wrong side of history

Alright im out

S*** felt like a generic B.o.B/Grand Hustle type of album where lupe decided to rap over

US PLACERS 12/10 CRS FOREVER

BOB has classics before he jumped on the trap wave

kendrick is playing this game the right way

i think very highly of him and what he has been able to execute and achieve is very hard to stand up against

but i also feel like what Lupe was doing when he entered the scene was the blueprint for Kendrick

and having lived through both

i am of the mind that what
Lupe offered is of higher quality

and i feel that one of Kendrick's
greatest strengths is his public image

if he'd had to deal with label bullshit
he'd be in the same position Lupe is

imo

and that is why i enjoy debating this topic
because i feel like at the end of the day

this is what Hip Hop is about

healthy discussion

nahmean

I prefer f&l, I played the s*** out of both but I only go back to F&L now

I don't like his music nowadays, find his voice little annoying

Yeah you ain’t helping
