Lupe Fiasco looks to put the focus back on his own music by releasing a new track called “BBQ Chicken Thighs” via Instagram. The song arrives after the veteran MC found himself debating Kendrick Lamar’s lyricism once again on social media.
The latest Instagram release from Lupe is produced by his longtime collaborator Soundtrakk. The song references Lupe’s issues with DJ Vlad, which stemmed from the Chicago native having a problem with Vlad TV covering him.
Vlad told the multi-platinum selling lyricist to reach out to him personally, but he allegedly didn’t pick up the phone when Lupe called.
“Still real even when fiction’s spat/Hit the mat your jiu-jitsu wack/I’m Malcolm X with the temple tap/Money talks credentials chat/Simple raps, if i give you Shaq, the rim will crack/Then we can’t even ball no more/Vlad won’t even let a nigga call no more, damn/It’s like everybody wants me switched and replaced/Lose the joy, male strip, I’ll still put a dick in your face,” Lupe raps.
Lupe Fiasco Says Kendrick Lamar Is 'A Better Artist' Than Him Amid Lyricism Debate
Lupe’s latest work with Soundtrakk isn’t a preview of the upcoming trap rap EP the two are planning. Stylistically, the song is more of what fans would traditionally expect from the duo.

Sick!
Lupe got dem bars for days…
Cold ? af he’s stiiiillllll got it ? my man cold
He said im like 4 jay z’s memorize the lines like EKG’s>kendrick
I had to stop it at “these simple raps, if I give you Shaq the rim’ll crack” damn.
Jesus! I had to come back and post again – like he responded without having to respond- this track right here is the difference between him and Kendrick… it’s not a dissappear, its just Kendrick can’t do THIS.
*diss
Not to mention the way it sounds, it sounds like it was off the top, kendrick dont want smoke with lupe, that would be a bad buisness move on TDE’s part if you ask me, they have the winning team right now with too much to lose, going against lupe’s pen is hella risky.
Lupe always been cold. Hopefully, this gets Kendrick out of hibernation and dropping new music.
Naqqas is losing bad. They on some menstrual sensitivity sh!t … Lupee always been wack gtfoh …
Your wack Lupe has mad skills
Dude is a wizard with words. Legendary
Man…..everytime he drop something the comment section go crazy about how tight he is and make me listen to it. Yes, the wordplay is always on point. But it’s always better when I’m reading the lyrics to myself in my own head. Lupe should really just be a poet. Because it rarely sounds good when I’m listening to the SONG. Keyword: SONG. He should just lock in and be one of the great poets of our time. His delivery, flow and presence on the mic is not it.
This shit is definitely fire, but it comes off as arrogant, he’s like a mini canibus. Nobody said you wasn’t nice, and aim that shit at actually wack niggas.
Bang, you resonate my sentiments exactly
