Where people get bit on the ass in these debate is they always try to compare Lupe with past era greats like Nas, Jay, Cube.

I’m supposedly one of the biggest Lupe “stans” (B.S.) on here and I know that Lupe doesn’t have the immortalized catalog of a Cube, Nas, or Hov. :what:It’s even arbitrary to compared him to acts like them or fukking Mobb Deep mostly cuz of the era disconnect or the sheer difference in content. But notice how they never compare Lupe as a rapper to his contemporaries of the 2000’s era. :sas2: They gotta run behind certified top 5 level icons to say “such & such shyts on Lupe’s catalog” like yeah no shyt :dahell:

Then I peep how these same few posters that are always in uproar when discussing Lupe’s status in the game are never to be found when someone says some outlandish shyt about J Cole having classic albums or Kendrick being top 10, top 5 all-time. You never find these same dudes typing up paragraphs in those thread. Only when it’s Lupe, now ain’t that shyt funny :sas2:

Nah, y’all nikkas ain’t slick tryna pit the old heads against Lupe to shyt on him, cuz of the opinions of a few younger age rap fans. :umad:

Nas has always been a terrible evaluator of talent...from Nashawn to Dave East to Jungle and Wiz. He just has a terrible ear for talent and doesn't hold them to the same standards that he would hold to himself.
Whenever I hear him in an interview about who he likes or who he's putting out..i automatically know it's some bullshyt

Now Lupe is dope, arguably a top 5 to come out after the 2000s...i like his music and his vibe but he sounds NOTHING like Nas in anyway imo.

Cube made two GOAT contender albums AMW and DC. Lupe has nothing even remotely approaching that.
Cube’s contribution to Straight Outta Compton?
West Side Connection?
Cube has actual classic singles.
Cube has classic guest verses.

Lupe isn’t anywhere remotely close to Cube.

I’ll address the rest later. :psalute:


:whoa: Yeah Lupe ill, but he aint fukking with (discography/impact wise) with the guy who wrote fukk the police and came out the gate with three classics. Oshea legacy is set in stone.


That said Lupe discography is underrated as shyt. His mixtapes shyt on a lot of people's albums...just not Ice Cube's and Scarface's.
