Do people really know what top 10 means? Do you know who else is usually top 10 of all time?

Rakim, Tupac, Big, Nas, Jay and so on

What has Lupe done to really compare to these guys? Who has Lupe influenced? How has Lupe's worked affected the genre?

I can see Lupe being top 10 nowadays, but top 10 of all time? No way, not now.

Me too :heh:

Them nikkas just lowered the bar to a level I couldn't possible rock with..


This is like putting Souls of Mischief in the same conversation with Outkast...It takes much more than mind blowing bars to be mentioned among the greats..Hip hop has been around almost 40 years..You know how many great emcees there has been?

Well Outkast bit Souls steeze on the first album but it's hard to compare a four man crew to a two man crew.

Souls have put out more that just mind blowing bars...they have a classic album along with other dope albums and classic songs.

What the hell has biggie done :what: nothing at all but die early after releasing a subpar album, if biggie overrated ass is top 5 then someone like dmx is for sure top 5

People saying Lupe top 10 of all time is buggin, but to say he is top 10 in the current new age rappers is respectable

Its obvious u don't know the definition of classic song....we talkin songs not only your fanbase thinks are classic that will stand the teste of time....Lupe is popular enuff if he's top 10 he should have sum definitives....he doesn't have a Feel It In The Air,Dear Mama,Hard Knock Life,Be True To The Game,If I Ruled The World,Captain Save A Ho,Gin and Juice,Straight Up Menace in his catalogue that the masses recognize as greatness....oh he does?ill wait

Generally speaking

Most hiphop fans between the age 20 and 40 have a combo of the following in their top 10

Pac
Big
Nas
Jay
Cube
Rakim
KRS
LL
Kool G Rap
Chuck D
Slick Rick
Big Daddy Kane
Eminem
Scarface
DMX
3Stacks

Im missing a few but we're speaking in general. Lupes gonna have to do a lot more than the "older" GOATs did to supplant them.






He on his way though:myman:
