Lupe Announces New Album Title

[PAINKILLƎR]

Nobody dickrode Em back then like they do Kendrick now tbfh

lol they did.
Em's success with TSSLP is almost the same than GKMC except that my name is was maybe more popular on radio/tv and in Europe.

Em got bigger with TMMLP but we're talking about their label debut

LOL nope, album ratings didn't say so. Em wasn't acclaimed prince or king of hip hop.

Ehm, no they didn't. Eminem got a whole LOT of hate because of the MMLP. That's why he was robbed from the album of the year, and that's why there are a lot of mixed reviews about it. A lot of people were offended by his lyrics, because Em didn't take the easy way into the industry.

The MMLP is considered a classic, yes. But while being ultra controversial, thought provoking and original. I just don't see it in the same league as GKMC, which is definitely a great album though.

No doubt he deserves the praise... but Lupe > Kendrick

Make a thread where we can properly discuss the matter.

If you're brave enough...

Hmm, you have a point. The amount of K.Dot dickriders on TR is alarmingly high. I see if I'm up to it

yeah but I was talking about TSSLP and Eminem had several 10/10 ratings with that album, he got love from his pairs and a lot of success, just like Kendrick with GKMC

In fact, the same shit happened with Eminem and some other artists, some people didn't consider these albums as instant classic because you usually have to wait a few years to give an album the status of classic but the thing is that Eminem was already influencing artists back in the days and Kendrick is already doing the same thing.

GKMC is compared to illmatic because a lot of people think it's in that league but TMMLP and GKMC are too different to be compared tbh (and if I had to chose, I would chose TMMLP) but both of these albums are masterpieces in their genre: What kendrick did on 12 tracks is a feat that hasn't even been attempted by famous top storytellers like Biggie or Slick Rick and what Eminem did on his individual songs was unique and phenomenal

To be fully honest, I personally feel like it's unfair to really compare GKMC to these old albums because GKMC hasn't pass the test of time. Some people who are living in the moment will say GKMC is better because it's newer material and some people don't like the comparisons because of the "legendary" status of these albums (TMMLP, Illmatic) but these conversations and the influence of gkmc really prove that it's the instant classic we're talking about tbh

Everybody debating on who's better, Lupe or Kendrick....

If you check google, there are several Tetsuo's. The most logical would be Tetsuo Shima though as he is a character featured in the Akira manga series/movie. If you remember, Lupe had Akira as his Profile pic on Twitter not too long ago.

Tetsuo becomes the main antagonist in the story, which fits to Lupe's perception in the world of Hip Hop within the last few years. This also ties in with the story told in American Terrorist pt. 2 (Superheroes.)
