Black Thought is top 15 for me ever, easy...but there's shyt Lupe can do that Black Thought can't, whereas Lupe can do everything Black Thought can do, he just doesn't have that ill ass voice that Black does so it wouldn't sound the same. Lupe doesn't get enough credit for being an alien, lol
Is Blu a better rapper than Lupe?

naw i know lu is an alien he my favorite rapper. i said he up there with thought cus right now there isnt many breathing (monch & kool g obviously) that's done it as long as him and as consistently as him. he's the gold standard for how to rap IMO.

Technically (and literally), he's a poor man's J. Cole, but I get what you're saying here. Figuratively, he may be a rich man's J. Cole tho.
And hell fukking no, Blu is barely fit to spit shine Lu's boots and I actually really like Blu.

No, Blu is not a better rapper than Lupe. He is a better artist tho.
And on the J.Cole subject
BLU is what J.COLE wishes he could be

And many members fell off cause they didn't know the ledge causeLupe >> blu
But i never thought about the bolded
They heads got gassed up, they still ain't got no drive
I'mma ride till I crash and I still ain't got a ride
I move slow cause bro I got a lot on my mind
That's why I'm quick to get to pieces when I'm jotting my lines
Still grinding at the drop of a dime
Trying to rob the world for every cent cause shyt I owe a lot to my moms
Those last bars especially is basically what Cole just took and ran with. I love Cole and obviously has a much better body of work , but bar for bar lyrically speaking heās poor mans Blu

You dont listen to music tho you skim through it to think that.

Below The Heavens is better than any Lupe album, but Wasulu is overall a better rapper.
I think Blu regrets that he didn't go all out on that 2008-10 mixtape era. He was ahead of Wale, Cole, Jay Elec, Cudi, Drake, XV and others, but he just never went all in with it, when he had the advantage.

Lupe saw fit to bite certain aspects of Blu's (Post "Below The Heavens") abstract underground work.
IF that isn't an example of how much Lu was feeling Blu and his respect
for that mans work then I don't know what to tell you.
A lot of posters won't admit that there was a moment when Lupe was enamored with that
Asesop Rock/Experiment Blu/Earl Sweatshirt/MF Doom/Mos Def on "The Ecstatic"
stream of thought style writing. It's a form of rap writing that largely isn't even respected on
The Coli ironically enough.
