    Welp, today marks like the 3rd time Lupe Fiasco has accused Kendrick of biting his ideas and artwork. Lupe has made claims that the d---. reverse concept came from Lupe's Tetsuo & Youth album, he's made claim that the Untitled Unmastered plain green cover art was a rip from Food & Liquor II all black cover. Now recently, he's made claim that the single artwork from the Black Panther single "All the Stars" has a resemblance to his upcoming album dropping this year, DROGAS Wave.

    I'd love to see these two battle it out for the culture! Who would ya'll pick?


    I love Kendrick, but this is a no brainer for me. Lupe Fiasco ftw.

    The only project that Kendrick has that comes close to Food and Liquor wasn't even an LP, and that's Section 80.

    TPAB? No. GKMC? No. d---? No.

    I haven't listened to lupe albums in years tbh

    Not a huge fan of either rapper. But I do remember f&l and the cool being pretty good

    I'd take Tetsuo & Youth, Food & Liquor and The Cool over TPAB, GKMC and d---.

    Lupe is a better lyricist but Kendrick has slightly easier digestible albums and put out one of the best albums of all time so the edge goes to Kendrick. Both are incredible and two of the greats

    You can throw in Bas' Too High To Riot and Isaiah Rashad The Sun's Tirade as contenders too.

    GKMC isn't even better than some of Lupe's mixtapes. I'm not even exaggerating.

    I'll also say this Kendrick is able to get the ears of both the mainstream and the underground at the same time. Lupe has never been able to go mainstream while maintaining his integrity
