Nas influenced Lupe Fiasco own name

[Tommy Dervan]

I remember Lupe sayin that F&L was modeled after 'It Was Written'. But yeah he fux with Nas Heavy tho. How could you not fukk with Nas? Arguably the GOAT & if not second only to Pac.

That "Mural" joint set a new bar for excellence in wordplay

This shyt made me a believer in Lupe again

naS stans are the worse nikkaz in life... naS as a rapper is average with some great story tellin joints, but these c00ns overrate his ability by about a hunnid thousand trillion. For example I asked these cacs and c00ns to post the naS songs that influenced those Lupe tracks... we get nothin but those c00ns will act like he did.

You hear Jay all in his style though. Perhaps early Lu had a naS influence



but even then his punchlines/similies were far beyond anything naS gave us. It was more the content was naS like.

Nas bodied Jay in a battle.

You got me fukked up with somebody who gives a damn about a rapper. lets get it clear right now. IM A FAN OF GOOD RAP/HIPHOP MUSIC. i dont stan one rapper i am a stan of good rap music period.

with that being said...

Nas can do a song like One Mic then switch to telling a whole story backwords then get on some lyrical shyt like Nas is Like. Thats all im sayin is nas damn good a damn good rapper but the beef with Hov made people choose a side act front like nas is wack .

It Was Written is Lupe's favorite Nas album, mine too

 

[JayBaldacci]

Lupe has more flows, better wordplay and multies.

Nas is a better vocalist, better stories, better albums... And is way more convincing.

 

[Frida Giezman]

Lupe cool but he got that nerd voice thing going on lol

 

[mson]

Too bad he couldn't influence his lyrics
