And I’ll be honest, when it comes to me discussing greatest MC’s of all time. I always leave out the godfathers of this game because it’s disrespectful to them. Krs, rakim, g rap, kane, slick, ll are in their own tier. So I never mention them when discussing lists.
Let’s talk about Rakim.
Made quite possibly the GOAT hip hop album in Paid In Full.
Two classics after that.
That alone puts him ahead of Lupe and pretty much every other rapper.
Even the album where he fell off was fire and has all time classic hip hop songs. I’m talking about Don’t Sweat The Technique and Know The Ledge.

Then there was the hiatus but he bounced back in 97 and made a dope album with classic songs with Pete and Premier.

I’m trading in Lupe’s whole catalog for Paid in Full alone.

Big - the albums he made are way better than anything Lupe has made. Plus Junior Mafia. Guest Appearances. Classic singles and remixes.

Lupe doesn’t have a top 50 discography.
F&L is a dope album. 4 mics. I wouldn’t be mad if someone said 4.5 mics.
The Cool is a 3 mic album. Some of the production on that album is terrible.
Tetsuo is a dope album. 3.5 mics. I wouldn’t be mad if someone said 4. The production was the problem. Too modern. Lupe did his thing on that album.
I haven’t listened to Drogas yet. I’ve tried a couple times but the first few songs didn’t grab me so I always put something else on.

J Cole hasn’t made anything close to a great album.

I don’t listen to Da Baby, Future or Migos.
breh, for someone who knows his hip-hop and is a fan of lyricism and the golden era :salute: how the hell can you not appreciate the density in lupes work? T&Y 3.5 mics?? that shyt is flawless and is his last album. Lupe like Nas's work, is never appreciated until time passes, i'm still catching wordplay off of f&l the advance. The dude has a YT channel dedicated to breaking down his material. F&L, The Cool, T&Y, Drogas Wave are all classics.

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:
Look what you done started mobb:bryan:

Tell us why Big L and Ras Kass rank ahead of Lupe or have better catalogs :jbhmm:

My man listed Trugoy & Posdnuos from De La Soul, guys with no solo work :pachaha:

Just throwing muhfukkas names that came out in the 80’s, 90’s and hoping it sticks :dead:
You are conflating the two lists.
The list of 58 is for rappers who are better than Lupe. Not those who have better catalogs.

I still haven’t made the list of 50 discographies, but there will be rappers on there who make better music and thus have better catalogs, even if they don’t rap as well as Lupe.

Big L and Ras Kass are better rappers than Lupe. I’d also take Big L’s catalog over Lupe. Soul on Ice > any Lupe album. I can see arguments that Lupe’s catalog is better than either of them though. :Peasy:
Are you saying they don’t get as busy as any other great rapper though?

De La are better rappers to me who have the catalog to match.
You telling me Lupe got an album seeing Stakes is High? :PHandsup:

But anyway, that’s 4 out of 58. What about the other 54?

Big L isnt better than Lu fukk that golden age, euphoria in the past nonsense and ive listened to Children of the Corn all of his freestyles, Danger Zone etc. No one in De La is a better rapper than Lupe.

Have you really listened to the fahrenehit series and lupe other mixtapes? Have you not listened to tetsuo and youth? Seriously answer the question
