"Lupe Fiasco's skill set is too high. He is too good at rapping" - Joe Budden

[Pop123]

Old but still a good listen. Should start at 1:20:25.

Best lyricist ever...but I can see why some people like Budden's friends and others who really dont listen to rhymes how people who are skilled at rhyming listen to rhymes may feel like they just dont get him

Prime Beans was better than Lupe ever was

Salute. Couldnt disagree more...and Beans is top 25 ever for me. Lupe's pen is alien tier, theres only like 2 or 3 rappers I'd even consider debating is close to his pen, and they're not even really known like that. Whatever tho, like this clip showed, it's all subjective. The whiteboy mentioned syllables...Lupe does that but that's not even his "thing" like that, he isnt trying to do the babbledibabbly Eminem shyt, it's probably too easy for him. Lupe loses people like this whiteboy with the wordplay, he is so lost he doesnt even know how to communicate what got him lost, lol, he just randomly said it's all the syllables

Nobody seeing Lupe pen. Nobody bro. As far as other categories it’s way better rappers but his long winded extended metaphors far surpass most rappers in the game

I'm not impressed by that elaborate bullshyt Lupe does. People should consider other MC categories when assessing rappers placement. nikkas who follow him don't even really be entertained by his music, they just get a hard on cause they're listening to some abstract shyt they think nobody else could decipher.

Lupe is the greatest! All his peers know how great he is and holds him at the highest regards. Crazy cause I was just listening to his discography.

raps Rain Man.

he's a savant. no matter how good he is, he is not an enjoyable rapper to listen to.
I respected it but I could never really all the way get into him. his voice and delivery was just bleh.

his die hard fans are clowns of the highest order...but I get it, he's some of theirs first moment hearing a rapper blow them away.

You'd never catch none of these peers ever listening to his music or able to spit a Lupe verse. These nikkas be saying that shyt just to say it. Like how all these legendary MCs that deify Eminem couldn't spit an Eminem verse to save their life.

I know what you saying but to me that mindblowing, you have to focus to catch it shyt is enjoyable to listen to. Besides me just respecting the effort and ability it takes, I really just enjoy listening to that type shyt.
