Lupe Fiasco has stirred discussions by asserting that there are “hundreds” of rappers superior to Kendrick Lamar.

Over the weekend, Lupe made this claim during an appearance on former battle rapper Breezy Nice’s YouTube channel, KoalaTeaReacts, where they addressed some past disagreements.

The conversation eventually shifted to Kendrick Lamar, a topic on which the Chicago rapper has previously expressed opinions. Lupe believes that his views on Lamar, including the notion that he considers himself a more skilled rapper, have been exaggerated by fans and the media.

“I find it crazy that you can’t even say that you think that you are a better rapper than Kendrick Lamar,” he said in astonishment before conceding that the Compton rapper is better in other areas.

“I’m not talking about album, I’m not talking about making songs, I’m not talking about being an artist. All the things that I’ve said all these years: He’s a better artist than me, he makes better albums, he has a better team, he has better beat selection, he has better production, right? He has all these better things, right? When it comes down to lyricism, when it comes down to these lyrics and putting these bar-for-bar-for-bar? No. Everything else? For sure. 100 percent.”

However, what’s sparking discussion in rap social media circles is his claim that he can list “hundreds” of rappers superior to Dot. This stems from Lupe’s belief that battle rappers are more skilled lyricists than mainstream artists and that he can name many who surpass most, including Kendrick.

“I said it was hundreds and I’ll name ’em, and we could list them,” he doubled down. “We gonna just start listing n—as and then let’s see how long that list get before we start naming one n—a with a record deal? As the better rapper? Stop.”
