Lupe Fiasco: Greatest Rapper Ever?

[-DMP-]

No.

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Lupe is top 4
Don't nobody forget, the same Lupe haterz in this thread are in EVERY LUPE THREAD!!!!

As soon as a Lupe thread is created these mofos get an alert notification on their phone and they jump on the internet to post something negative with the quickness!!!


Ya'll already mentioned Lu's albums, but also his mixtape run was godlike!
The flows, the entendres, the lyrics, the subject matter.......

Nas already gave Lupe the crown!

Lupe got so effortless with the bars that his freestyles off the top got insanely better. His rap skills are genius level. Anyone who raps and actually writes rhymes can see it.

In those freestyles he was dropping after he skewered Royce, there was genius level raps. Genius level raps in stuff he did for practice.

Lupe had two amazing albums back to back and hasn’t been the same since lasers honestly
He just derailed from what he was doing from the mixtapes like revenge of the nerds and rhyming ape etc
Probably label and personal stuff
If he kept going with the same trajectory he would be the goat

You mean commercially?

Cause just recently he's dropped 3 arguable classics in T&Y, DROGAS WAVE, and DMIZ

 

[datnigDASTARDLY]

Yes.

Lupe
Nas
JayZ
Snoop
Wayne

Top 5 that cover any worthwhile rap entry, and I'll not be taking questions

 

[WSFGDan]

Nah not at all

 

[CHAIN]

He's the most intelligent writer. Yes.

Jay-z, arguably the greatest rapper ever, said Lupe is the greatest rapper ever.
Nas, arguably the greatest rapper ever, cited Lupe as the only rapper who reminds him of himself.
Lupe is teaching a Rapping class at M.I.T.

Etc...

I mean, you can say "stans" are pushing a narrative if you want to...but what about all this other stuff that solidifies the "G.O.A.T." talk...like the things I mentioned? You just conveniently want to overlook all that? Lol.

Lupe is one of them practitioners that you kind of have to be a high-level practitioner in the field yourself to fully and completely appreciate what he does and can do. If you're just a rap fan who just listens to rap you may still feel he's amazing (or not, like some of yall, lol) and that's cool...but the people who actually do this at an alien level know exactly what's up and what they're hearing and the level of difficulty and all that type shyt... that's why you hear so many greats always saying Lupe is a whole different caliber MC

nikka, get the fukk all the way out of here with this bullshyt. The condescension towards Hip Hop fans is disgusting. You don't have to be a "high-level practioner" in rapping to know who's the dopest rap artists. Saying that is just as fukking retarded as someone trying to tell a avid basketball fan that their opinion on who's the best basketball players doesn't really count because they're not a high level professional baller. It’s bullshyt. The same shyt y'all Lupe nerds do to try to prop him up amongst better MCs is the same shyt Eminem's mostly cac fan base be doing to prop him up with that "technical" bullshyt. Lupe is not the best rapper ever, period. You'd get laughed out of any conversation you even entertained saying that goofy shyt offline. Son has ZERO classic albums, no quotable verses and for well over a decade he's made nothing but wack, boring ass music. Stop it.

 

[Billy Ocean]

Ayo @Tair...say it with your chest, breh

 

[WSFGDan]

I still can't find the song where he says he has heat under the baby seats

 

[010101]

Rapping skills/Degree of difficulty/Literary devices/etc... shyt like that...lyrical ability basically.

lupe elite but he doesn't enter that category of lyricism that is so scientific it's unintelligible ha*

 

[Chip Skylark]

I still can't find the song where he says he has heat under the baby seats

 

[boogers]

i'd rather put a screwdriver in my ears before his music, but i respect lupe's pen game

Any means any means, and you can do anything anything
And the flow tight, skinny jeans skinny jeans

actually... nevermind

Take that up with Jay-z. who called him the best rapper ever...and Nas who said he's the only MC who blows his mind and reminds him of himself...and the countless other excellent rappers who hold Lupe in the highest of regard as a rapper and have talked about it publicly. Jay-z and Nas and them all disagree with you and agree with me...lol...but alright.
