Rakim is better than Lupe Fiasco.
There is no time period in the near future, the far flung future or the past where Lupe fiasco
was or will be better than Rakim.

Kool G Rap is better than Lupe too.


Imagine changing Hip-Hop lyricism FOREVER and then getting compared to a dude
who is "the son of your son".
Rakim isn’t better than Lupe

He’s greater than Lupe, but not better

These Lupe nerds so desperate in here they hyping up quite possibly the worst poster in Coli history (@The Truest aka intilectual reciprocal) :dead: :dead: :dead:
That nikka has gotten y’all out of y’all body in many troll threads. Platinum hits consistently

He’s a legend in these Coli streets

Funny thing is y’all know that nikka don’t be believing everything he says, and y’all still get hot :russ:

Bill Russell aint better than Jordan :pachaha:
Lupe isn't Jordan.
Just about everyone from Lupe's class (Lupe include) didn't survive past-2015.

Lupe is the dude who made the league but found out, he wasn't built for it.
Kendrick Lamar has the career that Lupe would have, if Lupe's pen was that nice.

People who say this DO NOT understand what Rapping is.

People really think Emceeing and being a great rapper/song writer is how many obscure references
the stans can find on Rap Genius. :pachaha:
Aesop Rock is just as cryptic in his raps but I don't see the usual suspects in this thread singing his praises or ranking him above Rakim and GZA.

If it was "just about lyrics"
Aesop Rock.
Aceyalone.
BusDriver.
El-P.
Saul Williams.
$ilkMoney.
All kinds of dudes in the underground write some mind bending, metaphor laden lyrics that should
and would be getting dropped in this thread, if it was just about "Lyrics".

All of these guys have:
Crazy sonics (El-P ALONE has insane beats)
Album concepts (Saul Williams is conceptually taking a dump on most rappers and he doesn't even "Rap" anymore)
and so on.


They love Lupe fiasco because Lupe Fiasco is tied to these dudes IDENTITIES.
When they look at Lupe, they see the awkward kid who likes Anime and plays street fighter.
They love the "Nerd" aesthetic.
This is why they cannot objectively measure their mans because an attack on Lupe is an attack
on themselves.

I’m not finna get in a debate with y’all nikkas on no damn Lupe Fiasco lol it’s pointless mane :pachaha:

It don’t matter how many various styles he uses that I post songs of, or displays of brilliant songwriting he has exhibited through his career it’s gon be the same ol tireless debate.

It don’t matter if I post quotes from this artists saying this bout his lyricism, or that instance where this guy was influenced by him, the debate always devolves into cryptic yadda yadda, he too abstract yadda yadda. Same ol tired arguments

Maybe tomorrow or Friday when a nikka is off I’ll have time for this fukk shyt, I got work to do today :unimpressed:

He's a legend for being an unbelievably trash poster...wtf is you talking about? :russ:

Son rep was like -20,000. Says alot that he's cosigning y'all Lupe nerds in here. I don't think y'all nikkas should be proud of that shyt.
