Lupe underachieved and still has an argument for top 10 all time
- Thread starter EBK String
- Start date
Lupe has some really bad albums in that catalog
Amo Husserl
Superstar
Nah... Lupe's classics were too early in his career for him to stay relevant. Nas had a great run in the last five years that re-establishes his legacy and makes his arc in hip-hop richer. Lupe don't have that. Lupe is Nas if he got bodied in the Jay-Z beef. He still nice on the mic, but we buy into his potential 'cause he a lyrical miracle backpack rapper that got some great cosigns. He Big L if Big L didn't die. Lupe is Canibus without the LL diss.
Lupe is all the rappers who had a great start and fell off before he actually was supposed to get the fame to match his talent. He like a Mase feature on a Bad Boy record at the height of Biggie fame. He nice, but he always make you wonder "what if" and stans let that fill in the gaps for his career.
Woulda loved to see Lupe get on some harder beats and keep his writing focused, he ain't have to dumb it down... Food & Liquor is just aiight..

lol at classics. Food and liquor has a lot of bad beats and trash hooks.
I try to understand people have diff opinons but this is pretty awful top to bottom.. lol. what?
Lupe had TNY 2015 and drogus wave in 2018
comparing lupe in away way to canibis is awful
you dont think TNY is a classic?no he doesn't
And he has 1, arguably 2, classic albums

with the aid of the Funk...
I fukk with Lupe but no
Freddie Gibbs has a better catalog and I wouldn't call him top 10
MF Doom has a better argument for being top 10

no. Dot's and Lines is the only song on there i've come back to
I think after The Cool, his albums, as a complete body of work, took a nosedive
He has some dope songs like Form Follows Function, but the albums as a whole aren't very good
helllllll no
Christ, do you think freddie could ever dream of making an album like The cool or TNY? theres levels, freddie has made good music but has crazy small subject matter he isnt even on same planet as lupe.
doom is up to how you feel about him
FNL
the cool
TNY
great american rap album
Drogus wave (to me his best album)
are all classic or great albums and none of them sound alike....those artists are too repetitive thats what seperates the greats
Drogus wave you didnt love? albums amazing
Pinata and Bandana are classic status to me. I'd rather listen to a Gibbs project than Lupe nowadays
Nah. Again, i don't think his albums past The Cool are that good. It's not Design was cool for a week before i stopped listening to it
Also, Lasers is a complete disappointment. Zero replayable songs. And I bought that album smh
EDIT: it's not design came from Drogas Light, not wave.
