Lupe Fiasco vs Elzhi

[ronnie46]

Not pure conjecture as he's done the style before...at their core both these dudes are nas' sons and both have had their cracks at impersonating him... I've just seen a lot more varied skill set from Lupe than Elzhi, which may have something with lu being a lot more prolific...but that's a positive attribute in and of itself



True but not as often as elzhi...who verse to verse is more fluid flow wise, on the g rap iww era Nas tip

yes he does the only difference between el and lupe is lupe can do sick metaphors and wordplay

 

[Roland Coltrane]

WTF is a Elzhi? Lupe > all them dish washer rappers.

thanks for the well thought out, informative response

appreciate cha contributing to a conversation you know absolutely fukking nothing about

 

[Billy Ocean]

Elzhi is 5x nicer than Lupe, been around much longer and makes better music most of the time

This thread is jokes because I'm pretty sure most people haven't heard 90% of Elzhi's catalog to even make a fair judgement

This thread is a breeding ground for nerd ass Lupe stans. Rep bro.

We can't have even handed discussions about Hip-Hop as a genre because
The Booth harbors extremists and trolls who could give a fukk about Hip-Hop
outside of their absolute favorites.

Anyone who legit loves flows, schemes and the art of writing raps can't sit here
and tell me Elzhi isn't seeing Lupe in any category. Elzhi is clearly a student of Nas, Rakim,
G. Rap, Lord finesse and so on.

An insanely skillful emcee not only understands the literary element of Hip-Hop but the
musical element of emceeing and how flow is really just another way to say "Rhythm"
and the manipulation of it.

Elzhi is legit incredible at times and I'm disappointed that brehs would say
Elzhi isn't nice. I mean Elzhi was tearing shyt down when Lupe was still
taking breaths mid verse on Food & Liquor.

The Booth can really be a shyt show. Smh.

As a lupe stan, i agree with everything you said.

Elzhi is is arguable the protype MC a la Biggie. Can do any song any style any topic and be amazing at it.

The man was made to be amazing on the mic and his ideas and wordplay and metaphors are truly unique.

i dont even listen to lupe but this elzhi dude is basically unknown and none of his tracks stand out

Is popularity the only way to judge an artist

 

[Bigblackted4]

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

@ 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.

Skyzoo is a monster, I was sleep on him until I heard him on Combat Jack

I swear these nikkas are fukking retarded breh

they're the embodiment of everything that's wrong with the booth

 

[IronFist]

This is a difficult one.
I'll edge it to Elzhi though.

 

[Kirk Thuglass]

theyre the top 2 lyricists out and have been for like a decade. theyre both crazy. i have lupe though if i have to choose

fact is a truly dope rapper will eventually become well known or at least have a stand out track that most rap fans will be familiar with

underground mcs (that stay underground for years) are rappers that lack the overall elements of what it takes to become great

 

[notorious8562]

I'll take Lupe overall, but Elzhi is great too.

 

[GoldenGlove]

I know this nikka didn't say Skyzoo is better than Lupe Fiasco

 

[NormanConnors]

As good as Lu can adapt to songs, El can just the same. El is a cat you do not want to mess with. I always go back and forth with these two as I feel they are top 3 in the game spitting right now.

Elzhi >
