Lord Jamar recently addressed Lupe Fiasco saying that Kendrick Lamar isn't a top-tier lyricist while speaking exclusively to VladTV. The Brand Nubian rapper said that Lupe was "buggin" with his comment, and Lord Jamar added that he thinks Lupe's views are flawed when it comes to picking a top lyricist.
Lupe caught the interview and decided to respond to Lord Jamar in a now-deleted Instagram post, which you can read below:
"To my beloved brother Lord Jamar I appreciate your POV. No one man holds the standard for declares a lyricist. And seeing that I look at you as an OG and I respect my OG’s even when they put me check I honor what you say...💯...no hate... And now some bars... **
Sometimes people confuse lyrics with spirit and then spirit with truth, the sum of these times is exemplified in that we comfortably conflate spittin writtens with coming off the roof, that’s a blowjob bar mixed with a subtle suicide reference, because we let the subtle slide to entertain the youthful side we inadvertently might have euthanized intelligence, not on every scale but very well, because we embraced mediocrity over honesty but if popularity means coming out of poverty then obviously we’ll feed the fairy tale to every cell in Attica, send em to Africa, through the bars, that’s a Nas quote on the shore waiting on Nas boat, Garvey was a terrible businessman could never be the reason that impeded the Black Star’s float, right? We run on myths, I was raised in an era where you had to Black out and dumb on sh*t, nowadays if you can just jump when it come on then it’s all good to just jump on d!cks, I’m talking smack tapes and the wake up show, Big L saying his moms and pops ain’t even met yet and Kay slay freestyles we stayed late up fo’, I apologize for my opinions if it hurt n*ggas feelins, I ain’t crying for attention or tryin to subvert a n*ggas dealins, Vlad know I don’t do interviews because the press is a double edged sword, that for 5 years interviewers only cared about what I said about Obama like I drove a nail into the ankles of the Lord, I wanted to talk about rappin, they were more interested in alleged Chief Keef slappins, early in my career Vibe tried to ether me, misquote and extinguish me, i can’t even go into what happened at BET, but i let it all go My cloth cut from a different piece of fabric, when you been a samurai since 3 years old you look differently at “status”, And when it comes to being corrected, I’ve been the wrongest n*gga in the room who’s been agreed with so many times i can’t tell the difference between being rejected and being accepted... Also Rakim had punches!"
