Lupe: the GOAT gangsta rapper

[Versa]

"I'm really gnarly
Really harder than tryna wheely Harleys
I'm really hardly life of the party
Hotter than Saudis in furs in the Mojave
Don't make me catch a body
First and Fifteenth probably
Playa don't trip when the clique's in the party
You trip, then it kick, like Mr. Miyagi
I brought an extra clip in event of a robbery
You flinch then it click like Clint, Dirty Harry
Don't think that my money gettin' spent on Ferraris
This game that was told is old as Ataris
You sold into slavery
The system I pimps, I limps like a Charley
Horse.Bring the chorus!"

a lot of street dudes aren't dumb per se.

But alot of street dudes don't watch alot of anime, talk about Mont Blonc inc pens and are black belts in like 3 or 4 different forms of karate either. You have to admit Lu is a different breed

I have an album worth of his material from this era. "The Ruffs"

He got it in a wreck
They shot him in his chest
Head left honking his 'van horn' like the Nets

Mayne, when I first heard that line I had to shut the whole shyt off...

Those that choose not to dodges
Bullet lodges
Like water buffalo, better get
Hustler etiquette
Move rocks like Frederick
And ya dames I entertain
Like my 1st name Cederic

Noticing a lot of these nikkas in the booth ducking this thread fam

But in other threads they wanna call Lu overrated and say how he don't stack up to these top ramen nikkas

Lupe was the GOAT punchline rapper when he was on that gangsta shyt. Became a better storyteller and overall songwriter when he went conscious.

Regardless of the era he was and still is light years ahead.

shyt, on the SUPER low, even Lasers era Lupe was outrapping the majority of the game. I could bring the bars to prove it but ima save that for another thread

 

[EQ.]

Wish, that he will be bless me with a few more
Quick, cause working in a drought is a bytch
Switch, a female dog with no raw, rich
Is what I wanna get like gifts
But you need blow to get your birthday wish
Trip, and then you never snitch
You never tell a soul, not even a fish
Cause fish might fold, and run and tell the shrimp, ya dig?
And shrimp might run and tell the pigs
That you selling rides on the white horse right up out your crib
Bring the battering ram where you live
God, I really need a job, until I get a gig
I be giving work to the kids

DOPEBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY! STREETS IS CALLING YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

"Fiasco - that's my name, don't wear it out
'specially around the feds, who wanna know my whereabouts"

....I'll never for get hearing that line for the first time like
with the biggie flow

still one of my favorite opening lines from him. Its so simple but still lets you know he about to body the track

nikkas tryin' to pull my card, stop my shift
Shift me to that graveyard and knock my hustle
They hope I Domino and free up my delivery
And at the same time mark my magnificence
I'm just trying to do the opposite of left
As long as there is the opposite of death
You test, and I might just bring the opposite of life
Till there's no one the opposite of right
Check!



Game Time one of my favorite low key Lupe songs... the punchlines and metaphors were throughout the entire song

 

[FocusedDaily]

Talking about his different sides tho, I'm not gonna front like I knew him, but I knew his pops. Sensei Jaco was the real deal, he and my sensei were friends for 20+ years and I spent a lot of time talking and learning from him in my middle school years.

He was def the black revolutionary hood militant but kinda gangsta wise dude. You should google him. There's wild stories about him on the net.

I thought–
I thought I knew just how dope this was, I was fukking wrong.

This nikka Lupe man! Who in their right mind can say he's not the best lyricist ever. Who?!?!
If there's competition for this dude then it's gotta be overseas with some nikka rapping in some other language, I swear.
