Lupe's a wack fakkit breh, who raps about jeans and sewing machines? :skip:


Lupe is harder than most nikkaz in rap, breh.
Even common is harder than most nikkaz in rap and used to be the dude who would beat your ass from the stage and hop.in the crowd with uac and beat you completely down.

If you not getting lupe's word play.
chances are you are telling on yourself. All, because all of lupe's content direction wise at its base level is covert drug dealing on wax.
Plus, he created the big sound commercially found in u2 records for rap.

Chances are Lupe would beat down a lot of nikkaz and his father had the pedigree.
of being a known combat ready specialist and a dude who pretty much is known.
as being one of the hardest out in Chicago history from a combat based realm socially.

Brolic... Alcoholics
With songs like "It's On"

"The reason why we lead the pack, this is a marathon
You start off fast then you wheezing in the back
So even if I slack, I got enough lee-way
To put out The Reason by the Mac, Philadelphia Freeway
And I'm back, without leaving I'm here, but you can't see him
I gave you the Blueprint but you can't be him"

The way he blends the Marathon metaphor with the wordplay of the Rocs work is GOAT shyt.

When you're doing storytelling you can lead it wherever you want. With Reality Raps you can't just make up stuff so it's more impressive


Another example is GOAT level wordplay is the song Do U Wanna Ride

He was just in another dimension on that song. You could tell that he didn't want outshined by Mack.

jay -z is the greatest mc alive. Superior rhyme schemes, breath control, diction, voice, beat selection everything. Anybody denying that is fooling themselves. He had to remind you fools you on the we made it freestyle with jay electronica. Jay is the most versatile mc out
Too bad he rapped like an uninspired has-been on his last LP.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
And for the brehs in here shytting on Nas' lack of creative/witty wordplay

"RIP the freeway, shoot through memphis with money bags
Stop in Philly, order cheesesteaks and eat beans fast"


:damn::damn::ohlawd::banderas:

This is the most clever thing Nas has ever said. He's not that type of lyricist.

I'll put that on par with:

"She stared at my necklace, started relaxin
Now that's what the fukk I call a Chain reaction" :whoo:

When you think Jay got the GOAT wordplay then you listen to "Theme Music to a Drive By" for the first time:ohhh::dwillhuh:

nikkas also sleeping on Ressurection era Common. Communism, Thisisme, Orange Pineapple Juice, etc. bro was ahead of his time.
