Is Lupe Fiasco a better lyricist than Nas?

[MaNu Minu]

I'm only talking about lyrics. I think he is but my homies are shytting on me for disrespecting the "goat"


discuss

lol at nas being some kind of standard when it comes to the lyrics. He isn't even better than Cormega, krino, canibus,..


nikkas praising "Sleep is the cousin of death" for being one of Nas best lines

 

[The Ruler 09]

I'd say no, he hasn't done it at a high level consistently enough for me. On his day he's competition but Nas has the longevity lyrically and more diversity also.

acting like Nas is doing it on a high level all the time

hes dropping 1 or 2 good albums every 10 years

 

[Prolific]

NO

I disagree with that, I think he's been very consistent lyrically and can ramp it up when he wants to also.

 

[MaNu Minu]

I need some proof

 

[mobbinfms]

No

The one thing Lupe has over Nas is Double Entendres.

And this is coming from a self-admitted Nas Stan.

 

[MoeDollaZ$]

If they both sat down and freestyles I'd say lupe is better if they both penned it would be equal

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

Yes. Lupe can do everything Nas can do as far as storytelling and concept songs, but Nas doesn't have a song like Failure, Lupe The Killer, or Theme Music To A Drive By in his catalogue.

 

[Kitsch]

Yes.

not nas or jay can see lupe lyrically...when it comes to straight lyrics and no other factor lupe is supreme...lupe also has mic presence, delivery and flow over Nas...

Lupe is actually in every way better than Nas..in every way..not one aspect exists where Nas is better than Lu

I'd like to see a mixtape where Lupe spits on every beat from It Was Written.

Or even a Lupe and Nas joint LP. But I'm a big dreamer...
