Lupe's impact on Hip-Hop

[Poitier]

Also, Kendrick barely matters. Rap doesn't matter anymore.

You can just extend that to music in general, though.

 

[ML29]

His influence is mostly this smilie and weird outburst via twitter. Lol

 

[powerager]

Made it cool to be a bytch nikka that raps

 

[the rhyme king]

lupe fiasco lyricism is unmatched he brought decoding into rap like lupe verses are fun to read on paper.

yes you can and i do. none of this stuff matters beyond momentarily occupying your time until the next thing pops up to take it's place.

Ok existential Mel. Just end it already.

 

[Big Mel]

i wasn't being existential. just observing music doesn't quite captivate the way it once did. it's no longer the coolest form of entertainment....tv series' are.

Breaking Bad > Kendrick Lamar

 

[SunZoo]

Sam & Dean Winchester > Wale

Quite simply the rap Gawd... Lupe to rap is what Vince Carter is to dunk contests...

 

[Mr. Negative]

- So next time you see the misguided dread head on your screen, just remember who he was.

Don't worry. we'll never forget, breh.

 

[H.J.Duck]

what impact? i mean really.... dope mc but who exactly did he influence... because i dont hear that when i listen to Kendrick at all.

lil wayne is a skater because of him.. made skating cool in hip hop

that would be Pharrell...

 

[Mr. Negative]

ain't no Lupe in K-Dot.

you nikkas so used to listening to dumbed down ****** rap that the very first time that someone goes mainstream that makes a lick of sense....

you compare him the the last time someone went mainstream that made a lick of sense.

Lupe influenced a lot of rappers. Some recent ones who said they have been influenced by LUPE DA GAWD: Ab-Soul, Joey Badass, Capital STEEZ, King Los,

Kanye also a follower of the LU.

Lupe made a song about Chirac, Kanye does the same.
Lupe has barcode for cover, Kanye does the same for Pusha T.
Lupe has all black cover. Kanye has transparent cover.

Lupe seems to be 1-2 years ahead of the rest.

Yasiin Bey only one living more ahead of the rest, with 5-10 years.
