COMMUNITY Overrated Series : Kendrick Lamar

[AP3.0]

You've gotta be kitten me LOOLOLOLOL

Blacker The Berry, Complexion - actually the entire TPAB minus 3 tracks, Sing For Me, Real, Deep Water maaaannn I could go on and on.... If we talking about conscious songs.

Kendrick Lamar dropped an entire album challenging the notions of race in America using religion as a metaphor. I need not say more. Lupe has never done anything nearly as bold.

then you obviously not listening for Lupe, and thats cool, but stop trying to convince me that you, with a straight face, have listened to his music, OBJECTIVELY, and still can type what you just did

And they were all bullshit which is why I said he's overrated.

Ap with all your logic, experience, wisdom and sense do you believe with 100% confidence and a straight face that Lupe Fiasco is the artist of the millennium ???

Answer that yes or no.....

based on how the polls shook out, i voted the way i did

is he the artist of the millenium? no...and im fine with that...he doesnt need to be to validate his place in hiphop

 

[AP3.0]

idk what you were hoping for asking me that lol

i never have an issue telling the truth about stuff i believe to be true

BUT again, we are talking about the music...idc if Lupe brings a sword to take a shit

when he gets in the booth, its time to call the coroner

Appropriately rated

^This.

You might here some fans put him in the GOAT discussion, but most just think he's the GOAT of this era, and I don't think that's overrating him.

Look mayne I think Lupe is a lyricist but all I'm saying is he's overrated for the wrong things and no where on Kendrick's level.

But what about the question I asked

Mars make a thread on ABW who is the rapper of the millennium and out Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco in it. I guarantee Lupe gets maybe 4 votes max and the majority will end split between Kendrick and Kanye. You can even throw Wayne in there too cuz he did A LOT in the last millennium.

When you say millennium are you referring to 00-10? If so, Kendrick don't need to be anywhere near that shit.

I agree with slightly overrated. Just slightly. I give him his props tho GKMC a classic, TPAB a very close classic, DAMN is alright but not better than the previous two. But im not a Kendrick fan like others.

He’s not overrated in the least but his older shit had way more replay

Makes good music but isn't a great rapper, hence my vote
