Lupe says Drogmas will cement him as a top 3 rapper post 1995

[Free White & 21]

Lol Lupe put Hov in a body bag. 2nd verse wasn't even needed but he did it anyway

"It's hella proper, sag so low you can see boxer, like a boxer's
That's the way that the family's pants worn
Don't be sly, and try to put 'em on
The stones in the pocket'll drag ya down to Davy Jones' locker"

That wordplay, the triple entendre on "sly"

Jay Z's entendre's on that track made Lupe look like his son. Lupe would take that as a compliment so i don't know why Lu fans can't accept it

Also

Sag so low you can see boxer.... LIKE A BOXER

And you nikkas try to shyt on kendrick

Hopefully there are a few DJ Dahi joints. He and Lupe seem to have very good chemistry based on what he did for Tetsuo

Lupe already one of the goats with f&l, both retail and advance then the cool and t&y. I cant wait for drogas

It's crazy how brehs supremely overrate those first two Lupe albums. :tochilol:

 

[mobbinfms]

He's missing the highs because of nostalgia and reputation alone. I'll put T&Y and TC against either of their best stuff.

And song for song career wise I would definitely put Lupe against any of their best stuff.

Bar for bar lyric for lyric I'm putting Lupe above both of their stuff.

:tochilol:
So Illmatic is only better than any Lupe album because of nostalgia? :tochilol:

 

[mobbinfms]

But because of the era Jay and Nas come from they have certain intangible factors that weigh over Lupe.

:tochilol:
Breh. The music was better. End of story.

Even on RD, Volume 1, 2, and 3 Jay had questionable moments.

When you're speaking on lyrics and bar for bar I can't really think of anyone competing with Lu. And everyone talking about Lu can't make songs is full of it. Dude is a great songwriter. They're favorite rapper couldn't make a song as good as Adoration of the magi, American terrorist, the cool, put you on game, Audubon ballroom, or all black everything.

RD had questionable moments?
:tochilol:At that list of songs.

Lol, I said that bro. But with those nikkas it's bigger than just the music because they're icons.

As far as Hip Hop status few people are putting Lupe on that level.

Let's act like Aint No nikka isn't trash cash status and the hook on Brooklyns finest isn't cringe

Take Care is a better piece of music than any Lupe album and definitely has classic songs, moments, tours, and features. Just a bigger release for the culture on all fronts.

Don't make this shyt about Drake...

Y'all nikkas always bring up these Lupe songs nobody cares about. F&L was good not great. The Cool was good not great. My original claim was Lupe lacks the quotables, voice, flow, charisma to even be mentioned with Nas and Jay even if y'all like to say he's a hybrid of both. The Coli is the only place I see Lupe put at a pedestal like this.

I disagree about Take Care being better than any Lupe album. I think F&L was a great album, it didn't hold up that well, but at the time I thought Lupe had next.
I remember the Cool being a step down and more "alternative" sounding. I haven't listened to it in years though.

Lupe is amazing on the mic, but wasn't able to translate it to a classic album. And he's too complicated for his own good. He doesn't have the ability to consistently take complicated ideas and present them in a simple fashion. His rapping is too "academic" in that regard.

If someone lists all the MC's that debuted after 1995 discussion might become more clear.
