Lupe Fiasco: "25 rappers I know are far better lyricists than me - Jay-Z, MF DOOM, Mickey Factz,.."

[Guvnor]

only thing cacinem will ever have on lu is battle rap ability

Yep but even then I'm sure Lupe would put up a good fight.

 

[O.Red]

right. Lupe wasn't talking this Aesop shyt early in his career

I followed Lupe early in his career and he didn't talk about rap much tbh. A lot of techno and jazz mentions

As the Rock parallel goes Lupe's ain't as sloppy sounding as Rock but the run on alliterative flow is def there and timed too similarly too ignore after The Cool

Aesop Rock+a more kinetic sounding Jay z=Lupe

 

[Cadillac]

That's all part of wordplay.
Don't attempt argument.

those r not wordplay, there r devices that can play a part of wordplay sometimes, like a similie. But not wordplay themselves as they r not playing bon words, phrases or idioms.

 

[Mr. Negative]

post examples of him sounding like Aesop.

that ain't gonna happen. Prolly some shyt in one bar on an album with him pronouncing shyt like "I, Thy, Thine, Mine" or something.

 

[mortuus est]

good thing he knows cassidy is better than him

cassidy in his prime was a beast

 

[mortuus est]

Mf Doom more lyrical then Lupe? I can't call it

doom in his peak yes

Lupe would rip Em twenty new a$$holes in a 2018 battle...it ain't 2003 anymore, it's a wrap for Em

Aesop Rock is one of those rappers that if you just read his lyrics on Genius you might be impressed but actually listening to his music is a whole other thing...to be fair his voice/flow has become better with age, but his old shyt is unlistenable...I get why Lupe fukks with him tho, nerds fukk with nerd shyt

Still part of wordplay

Do you rap?

No, just the luckiest out of a batch of philly dvd rappers who have proven to be more naturally talented than a 4 syllable lox-canibus hybrid.
Cyssero, Joey Jihad, Vodka, Chic, etc were ALWAYS better than cass.

No. Not at all. Even he would say NO.

No, but I write poetry, and implement hip hop lyricism in my poems

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

He never actually won a battle despite cheating by using writtens in the freestyle era

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

Oh? I rap.

Who would say no about what?

 

[Cadillac]

Oh? I rap.

Do u know Amir Sulaimon? If u don't look at this



I do stuff like this in my poetry. Where I use lots of lyricism. Sometimes not alot. But I play on metaphors and sometimes. The entire poem is a metaphor(entendre)
