Two completely different styles of lyricism. One is more poetic & abstract and the other is more rippity rap & agressive. But I personally perfer Lupe because he's one of the few highly technically proficient MC's who has great subject matter to match.

I never said that Royce couldn't be poetic or that he wasn't a good storyteller. I just said that Lupe excels at those things more than Royce does, Just like Royce excels at things more than Lupe does. But bruh, when Lupe gets poetic...









These songs are just beautiful :mjcry:

Tough pick:whew:

I got love for both. Like @B-Mint94 said Lupe is more poetic and abstract. He makes me THINK more. Dude is a legit genius in my book. Ill roll with Lupe here but Royce is def near the top of my list too. He does things that Lupe can't. I love his energy and aggression on the Mic. I don't get that with Lu. Both special in there own ways

Lupe Fiasco, I don't think its too close either.
Royce da 5'9" is far more aggressive, but I just enjoy the breadth of Lupe Fiasco's music.
From his early drug dealing music veiled in brilliant metaphors, to his more heavily political work as he grew more mainstream, to his incredibly dense lyrical style that pops in and out of every work he releases.
I'm biased though :hubie:
