He.. sucks? Whoa. You don't think his verse on "Touch the Sky" was incredible?
Man, Lupe fans are all about trying to decipher his lyrics and concepts. He was the past decade's Kendrick, albeit not as acclaimed or successful.. his first two albums are considered classics and Kendrick was probably influenced by him to an extent.
Food & Liquor 2 was pretty shit musically, almost like an audiobook. He finally stepped up his production on Tetsuo but his lyrics were still super dense and stuff. Drogas Wave is his most balanced effort in my opinion. Still has strange concepts that'll take months to fully digest but the music itself is just really fucking good.
And yes Nas and Kendrick are comparable in terms of being skilled, "conscious" rappers and lyricists. They both aim for that "best rapper" spot, while someone like Kanye is more about creating amazing, enjoyable music.
