agreed :salute:


Lupe stans always like to act as if Elzhi and Pharoahe Monch don't exist when they say Lupe's the best "and it's not even close"

He's been given a thousand times the platform they ever have and most of the nikkas who lose their minds over Lupe aren't really comparing him to elite level lyricists, but to other major label artists

Most Lupe stans are just nerds that are talking out the ass. Nobody outside those fringe internet dwellers could recite, or care to recite, a Lupe verse if their life depended on it. Lupe could make pig noises throughout a whole track and those lames would swear it's some culture shifting manna from Heaven. He's nowhere the level of an Elzhi or Monch or Black Thought or Nas or GZA or Jay. Disposable, pseudo intellectual nerd rap.

Lupe but Elzhi is a really good candidate for him to go up against

Elzhi is nice no doubt, but Lupe got him by a couple levels of depth and scope... conceptually he's shown flashes of going where Lupe can go, but I don't think he can make a body of work like Waves....Lupe if he wanted could master elzhi multi-laden style if he wanted

Last part is pure conjecture

Elzhi all fukking day and while I'm at it Skyzoo too.

:dead: @ Anyone saying all Elzhi has is multi's.
Breh has word play out the ass and dope creative song concepts.
Not to mention his ability to put schemes together would embarrass Lupe.
Dude has gotten away with using the same scheme for like ten years and people
wanna say Lupe is more versatile than Elzhi.

shyt is jokes, I'm legit certain y'all don't listen to any "lyrical" rappers outside yah boy Lu.
