Lupe Fiasco Drops 'BBQ Chicken Thighs' Freestyle: Listen

Lupe Fiasco usually creates a whole conversation when he leaves an opinion on social media about his likes and dislikes.

A couple of days ago, he tweeted in response to a fan poll about who is a better lyricist between him and Kendrick Lamar. Lupe has always ranked himself as one of the best in the game and it’s no surprise that he wants to give himself props for it.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

He later clarified his stance, saying that although he think he is better than Kendrick in terms of lyricism, the TDE rapper is a better artist than him. But back to music for now. Late last night, the Chicago rapper dropped a freestyle kind of song on his Instagram with the caption, “I made some BBQ chicken thighs today…”
