Add Aesop Rock to that list as well. If ya'll seriously think that Lupe is super hard to understand, try breaking down some of Aesop Rock's songs.You've basically described El-P,![]()

His voice isn't that great but neither was Bob Dylan so can't hold that against him. I just got through The Cool for the first time in years so was reevaluating him.
-Voice
-Better mic presence
-Better and more variety of flows
-Better hooks
-average to below average beat selection
-Charisma
-too wordy/complex comes off as try hard, being complex doesn't mean better lyrics
-good music, strong albums
-smart dumb nikka-ness dude think he's smarter than what he is
F&L is my favorite Lupe album. I love Kick, Push and Hurt Me Soul but the album as a whole sitting down listening to it for a whole hour becomes boring and a chore. Them rap rock beats he used to try and finesse are trash.
Dude is very overrated on here.![]()

Those flows are trash, brehcasual hater spotted...
lupe is known for his diverse flows but ill let u kick ur ducktale lies tho



Good point. Well articulated.There's a difference. What Dylan lacked in singing quality, he gained with his vocal timbre (timbre = how a sound sounds how it sounds) which is now arguably the most recognizable in rock n roll and has captured a lot of people's ears... Because of this I believe Young Thug is the rap version of Bob Dylan but I digress
I'm assuming the argument you're referencing is that Lupe's voice isn't really star quality. I wouldn't really agree with that but I would say the reasoning would be behind the same thing Dylan is actually famous for.
. Dylan's voice is very distinctive. Whereas lupes is just kinda meh.He only wrote the first 20 bars of Muraleverything else was off the top (obviously he was punching in and out like wayne/hov do)
T&Y > The Cool brehGood albums post The Cool ?
T&Y > The Cool breh
Literally every Lupe album has a song dedicated to women tho
Sometimes several![]()
