is Lupe Fiasco the biggest fraud in the game?

[Meta4tony]

Im convinced that lupe was actually in them streets and that's why he suddenly changed to positive shyt overnight, he has tons of drugs references in his songs and his man got 44 years shyt doesnt add up

 

[dem bath salts]

wrong forum breh.

And he' one of the top lyricist to ever do it, ya bish




He just selects the worst beats ever

 

[Meta4tony]

oh shyt can the mod move this i didnt notice i was here n yea i know he can rap but im saying he contradicts himself

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

Reverse fraud

 

[Easy-E]

Lupe is the realist IMO

He acknowledges that he started as a gangsta rapper and didn't grow up listening to backpack rap

Dude just doesn't want to spread negativity

Talks about his past cripticly

 

[Filluminati]

no, he's one of the smartest and realest rappers

 

[MoeDollaZ$]

I feel lupe may be the best to ever do it next to nas

 

[intilectual recipricol]

Nope. Just the best lyricist ever

 

[SunZoo]

How is he a fraud though? My-cool Young History?

"give em the game that's like giving chocolate to the fat"?

He makes it obvious to anyone who's actually listening despite his past he's not really in the interest of handing it off to his listeners...the nikkas in the "game" already know this shyt, the nikkas who aren't don't necessarily need to. Especially put in ways that involve no thought process.

Much rather have "the die" as opposed to "love them gun sounds".

If he still wears the Dwayne-Wanye glasses, then yes. If not, no.

 

[Jayson_bourn]

I think its clear in his music that he used to be affiliated in some type of way and he'd rather not glorify it anymore. I don't think that's being a fraud.

 

[Spoonz]

nikka he's one of the best whether you like or not

 

[Ziggiy]

I feel lupe may be the best to ever do it next to nas

Quoted for truth

 

[MINT]

he is mediocre to me

I'm no fan of Lupe, but is the OP saying he's a "fraud" because he's not a stereotypical 'street' rapper?
