A crowd of fans is still convinced that there is stability between hip-hop titans Kendrick Lamar and Lupe Fiasco.
While all inclusive Twitter Intervals Over the weekend, Lupe clarified that he had no issues with the „Not Like Us” rapper.
„I’m more of a Kendrick fan than his music,” the Chicago rap mogul responded to one fan. „I love his creativity and concept. And the decisions he makes. I love his impact on black culture. I love the way he inspires black people. That’s not why I don’t like him.
Lupe continued: “Even though I don’t like all his songs or listen to all his songs — same thing with Drake — I understand their impact on culture, I never, ever, ever — because to me it’s us first. — Always, always, contempt.”
The „Kick, Push” rapper asked the agitated fan for receipts from an event in the past where he showed Distine to Lamar.
“I have no problem mate. Show me where I made it clear I didn’t like him. Show me that. Then we can go.”
Still, Lupe admits he’s envious of the creative environment Top Dog Entertainment fosters for artists.
„I had one thing that I wanted. It’s because I’m open and vulnerable, and I’m always looking at myself like, 'Man, I wish I was like that.’ I would like to return. When we first started rocking, that was our thing.
Lupe added some context 2014 Hot 97 Interview: „I was very happy that those things were there. Even in the Peter Rosenberg interview, I called Peter Rosenberg a nut-cracker very jokingly.”
In 2018, Lupe Kendrick said he wasn’t a „top-notch songwriter”. “Let me put it to you this way. When it comes to punchlines and bars, K.Dodd is not a top tier songwriter for me and my standards. His overall lyrics are good, his stories are unique, but I don’t see that in punch line lyrics,” he wrote in a series of tweets. rebellion. He later apologized for causing a stir with Lamar.
Lupe continued: „The only problem the world thinks I have with K. Dot, I really do, is that I think his 'Control’ verse was weird and overrated as a verse saying you’re the best rapper. It was weird. I was told it was just bait, but still.”
The demands reappeared in April Complicated Compiled J to the rapper. List of rappers who apologized to Kendrick Lamar following Cole’s apology. „Relax yo,” Lupe clapped back Complicated. „I’m not apologizing to him… keep my name clean… I’m afraid of rapping in any form or anytime. K point is solid but y’all need to chill.
In a separate segment of the Twitter space, Lupe Fiasco took issue with some of hip-hop’s gatekeepers, and thinks those involved should have some kind of PhD in that field.
„If you want to start deciding who’s in and who’s out, a process I don’t agree with, and I think Bulls-D, if you want to do that, you should have a degree,” he said. „You should have a PhD in hip-hop. If you don’t have that, I don’t think you have the right to talk about hip-hop.
Lupe has been busy with music this year as he returns to producing his soundtrack Samurai Project in June.
