"When they was all back of a nickel like Monticello
When the underworld had to be smarter than Donatello
No honor amongst fellows
It's harder than sittin with a blind man and tryin to describe yellow"

As good as it was that Superstar blew up, it was the beginning of the end for Wasulu. He got a taste of that Top 40 money and never looked back. Weird thing is he dont even mess with Matthew Santos anymore either

And from a throne of their bones I rule
These fools are my fuel, so I make them cool
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool
And feed them from the table that held Corleone's food
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name

epic poem.
It's like this:
Some rappers manage to tell 1 story during an entire song.
Very few rappers manage to tell 1 story over an entire album.
Only one Lupe managed to tell 1 story over 2 albums and 4 mixtapes.

i cant post youtube videos but The Cool(song) is one the greatest hip-hop songs of all time. Impeccable storytelling. Great imagery.
Not at all nervous as he dug to the surface
Tarnished gold chain is what he loosened up the earth with
He used his mouth as a shovel to try and hollow it
and when he couldn't dirt spit... swollowed it
Working like a.. hmm.. reverse archaeologist
Except.. his buried treasure was sunshine (crazy metaphor)
So when some shined through a hole that he had drove
it reflected off the gold and almost made son blind

maybe I'm jaded or delusional, but how can anyone deny the music that's been dropped in this thread?? I know we like to go back and forth about dumb shyt like image, sales, "realness, etc. on here, but please, let's talk about fukkin RAPPING for a second....
what other rapper has CLASSIC wordplay, storytelling, concepts, and straight lyrical songs in their catalogue? no one but the greats; but if you dare put Lupe on that same pedestal, dudes on here are quick to call you a delusional stan. I don't get it.
