Lupe Fiasco: Greatest Rapper Ever?

[Billy Ocean]

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.

Again...I don't give a fukk. These the same nikkas that say Eminem is the GOAT and better than them. NOBODY gives a fukk about Eminem or Lupe off the internet. Nobody Black at least. Love Nas but I guarantee you my nikka couldn't spit a Lupe full verse if his life depended on it. Nor Jay. Lupe nowhere near the best rapper ever. This is internet nerd conversation shyt.

Bruh, but why do you get so riled up on people’s opinions on their taste in music, especially when it comes to Lupe?

There’s dozens of threads on ths coli with “future goat”, “thugga goat” and all kinda of wild shyt. But I never go in those threads to shyt on posters or the rapper.

Its all subjective

"All subjective"

Y'all Lupe nerds will make a million threads absolutely stating he's the GOAT and how every wack ass verse he spits and every wack ass album he drops is a classic but now it's "all subjective".

Y'all nikkas delusional and living in some alternate reality. It's fukking disrespectful how y'all try to prop this wack rapping nikka over universally accepted legends with universally accepted classics. Y'all need to be called out.

There's a lot that earns you even a spot in that argument.

A lot of burden too.

If Hip Hop would have stayed on a street level and somehow managed to survive despite it not being financially viable, you could make a far stronger argument.

Even then an argument where many wouldnt agree including myself.

Like it or not having major impact, successly representing the craft on the global stage, and being a dominant force in the genre are all key in determining greatness.

I think its important for the culture that an artist is able to navigate the line between critical and commercial sucess. Its greatest voice should also be at least one of its loudest.

Ali didnt stop with golden gloves in Louisville.

Also, I dont think he has a classic album. Maybe cult classic. I'm not a member of the cult portion of his audience. Not my case to make.

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 an 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.

You must be too stupid to Comprehend this high level artistry
His shyt makes nas shyt sound like child’s play and I’m just being honest

 

[EASTATLJERU]

You mean commercially?

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

None of those u named are classics
That’s cap
He started going too far left
To where it’s no longer entertaining, digestible, creative and dope at the same time.
The focus became trying to be as complex as possible on T&Y but the records were not dope like b4
The replay value declined heavily too
Nah them shyts not classics at all

N word made a hit song about skateboarding.

And somehow added a love verse.

And then don't forget Steady Mobbin. I forgot how much of a Lupe fan I used to be.

I stopped checking for him after he was going at Obama all the time but before that, dude was top 5 for me.

 

[O.Red]

...and Obama

According to Lupe this was when he lost all of his endorsements and brand deals

Well, we’ve exhausted this discussion bruh, lol, salute. I’ll just leave you with this…Jay-z says Lupe is the best rapper ever. Nas says Lupe is the only rapper who blows his mind and reminds him of himself. Joe Budden said he writes like an alien. Royce said he’s probably the best rapper ever on their podcast. Styles P, Mickey Factz, Daylyt, etc… have all said similar things. I been saying the same and agree. Billy Ocean on The Coli says Lupe is garbage and wack and has to come in any thread saluting Lupe’s niceness on that timing. Peace

You can be sarcastic all you want nikka but me, you, your mother and every last nikka who viewed this thread knows for a fact that you'd get a unanimous if you'd be in a circle of Hip Hop fans offline and tried to claim Lupe was the greatest rapper ever. I'm based in reality. You based in internet fanboyism. Your thread trash just like Lupe raps. But go ahead and cook. Peace.

Your dumb ass don't even see the sarcasm in that post. How ironic

You believe that bullshyt? If he said that then he's as delusional as his nerd stans. c00nye been shytting on Obama and he ain't start losing endorsements and brand deals until he went at the lil hats.

This is a good point. But on the flipside. Ye got away with tons of shyt other artists wouldn't over the years. Chrisette Michelle got blackballed for performing at an inauguration for Trump yet Ye flat out supported him and rode for him for years and them same people who canceled her kept fukkin wit him.

You ain't even vote for Obama

Why did that stop you?
