now that I think about it, I feel like Lupe really has one of the worst catalogs in hip hop history, probably THE WORST.

I have never enjoyed a Lupe song outside of "Superstar" and I have never meet anyone who plays Lupe's music in my life.

As someone who skateboarded as a teen, "Kick Push" to me was beyond lame and gimmicky as hell to find a niche in a social group he thought would back him when he had no real knowledge of the dynamics in play of the skateboarding sub-culture.

Lol. So you mad.

So what rapper that debuted after Lupe has more bars than him?

This should be entertaining :patrice:
A lot of them :patrice:


and even if he was a good lyricist, there's no denying that some of his albums are contenders for "worst albums of all time in any genre"

Lupe isn't even AZ good and AZ isn't even smelling top 5 of all time.

Jay-z, Rakim, 2pac, Scarface, KRS One

Who out of them 5 would u put Lupe over? Lupe literally 2 dope albums away from being another Canibus


What?? Are you familiar with the 1 and 15 tapes. Seriously. Have you heard those things. You guys have a half informed opinion of Lupe. No way you have given that old lupe stuff a true listen and think we overrating him

overrated for not consistently delivering content that is listenable. F&L and The Cool were great, but then dude fell off a ledge into making overly preachy, esoteric music. his records stopped being enjoyable to me. but lyricism? nah, lupe is dope and warrants the praise

Overrated? Nah.

Up until Lasers, dude was dropping fire all over the place and people were either championing him or just didn't fukk with it. Fahrenheit mixtapes, It Was Written mixtape, and Lupe the Jedi all had fire. Failure had some of the craziest Hip-Hop writing I ever heard at the time. He owned Ignorant Shot and Dead Presidents. Hell most beats he was hopping on during his mixtape run he pretty much dismantled.

It was Lasers that really did him in and since then he hasn't seemed to give a fukk about his public image and it's obvious he wants to be done with his label/music industry period. shyt like Animal Pharm is whack though. He still has moments of greatness (Go To Sleep, SLR, Enemy of the State) but overall he's just become corny as fukk and does too much. I always respected him before be cause he would always talk about social issues in his music, and dude also had a crazy amount of bars that could go over your head.

And I'm a Lupe stan but the dude is just doing too much on and off the mic these days.

This is pretty accurate. Tho Idgaf about what he does off the mic unless it's something stupid

You can never count somebody of Lupe's talent out of the game. I'm waiting for him to drop his own "Stillmatic"
