Kendrick Lamar‘s verse on “Control” is stirring up all kinds of controversy, and now Lupe Fiasco has joined the battle with his response track “SLR 2” (Super Lupe Rap). Lupe raps ferociously for four minutes, delivering metaphor after metaphor in vintage Lupe fashion.
“I ain’t competition, I don’t move shit, The only opposition is this new shit, These new niggas rappin’ like they 2, They be actin’ like they you, man that’s–wheeewwww shit, What happened to the game? NIggas think they trappin’ cause they rappin’ like they Wayne, Rappin’ like they Chainz, I ain’t matchin them in platinum, But I’m rappin’ like I’m flames, Like smackin’ them in the back of him, and my antonyms is on cain, And my heroin is on metaphors and my metaphors is on brains”.
Listening to this track makes you wonder why Lupe doesn’t step it up in the booth more often. When he’s not being preachy and pompous, he can actually be pretty engaging, which is why most us liked him in the first place. Do you think his track can stand up to Kendrick’s verse on “Control”? Listen below and decide.
Standout quote: “It’s hard being a Lupe fan.” Yes, Lupe, it is.
