On Saturday, Lupe Fiasco<\/a> took to Twitter to share some opinions about Kendrick Lamar<\/a>. In a series of now deleted tweets, the Chicago rapper wrote: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll put it to you like this. K. Dot is not a top tier lyricist to me and my standards when it comes to punchlines and bars. His overall lyrics are good, his stories phenomenal, but punchline entendre lyrically I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see it.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never been destroyed,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd Lupe continues in a response to a one fan who tweeted that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Look Out For Detox\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd “destroys” any Lupe tracks. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Also the only issue that the world thinks I have with K. Dot and I actually do is that I think his \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcControl\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 verse was wack and super overhyped to be a verse claiming you are the best rapper. It was very weird. I was told it was just bait, but still.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n

However, Kendrick has also said the same thing about himself before in his 2011 song “Poe Man’s Dreams,<\/a>” as Complex<\/a><\/em> points out. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153And don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t call me lyrical,” the Compton rapper rhymed. “\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Cause really I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m just a n*gga that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s evil and spiritual\/I know some rappers using big words\/To make their similes curve\/My simplest sh*t be more pivotal.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n

Lupe isn’t the first rapper to call out Kendrick for his “Control” verse. Joey Badass (in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Killuminati Pt. 2<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd) and Big Sean have made similar statements about the song. Dave Free, President of TDE and Kendrick\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s manager allegedly saw Lupe’s now-deleted tweets.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lupe Fiasco go kick & push yourself into a tree with these wild allegations,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd Free tweeted in response, referencing Lupe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Food & Liquor<\/em> single from 2006. <\/p>\n
