Ridiculous hyperbolic posts like this are why Lupe standom is met with such disgust.

Mural is cool but K. Rino and Canibus both have done the "Lyrical gamut for a song in excess of 8 minutes"
thing to death. The only difference is no one wants to sit and dissect their lyrics because their songs aren't as palatable to brehs
who came into Hip-Hop post Kanye that directly link Lupe fiasco to "Real Hip-Hop" because breh got major label backing when Hip-Hop
was at one of it's most ludicrous and least balanced points in it's history.


It's easy to look like a martyr and lyrical savant when you're in a bubble, put Lupe fiasco in the wider pool of Hip-Hop talent
and breh while great becomes more more....normal.

Aceyalone. Myka Nyne, illogic, Aesop Rock, and many other "Experimental" rappers exist who also push boundaries
on what is lyricism in Hip-Hop.

Whatever you say get mad at a strangers opinion breh :ufdup:

Lupe is the GOAT :ohlawd:

Food & Liquor + The Cool Lupe was super dope. So much soul and creativity in his music back then. :blessed:

He can still rap well but I don't think the music has ever came close to those two projects. Waves was close tho

No. Making up shyt is nikkas giving dumb ass reasons as to why Lupe isn’t as nice as the rest of the hip hop world knows he is. :heh:

Dave East is the second coming alright... second coming of some poor muhfukka’s narcolepsy episode :comeon:
I’ve heard one Dave East song. I have no opinion on Dave East whatsoever.

That being said, it is a fact that Nas said he would be honored if someone said Dave East was the second coming of Nas. Are you disputing that Nas said that?

Now, in terms of opinions, I see you’re ducking the list of 58 rappers better than Lupe as well as my claim that Lupe does not have a top 50 discography. :sas2:

That’s his artist, of course Nas is gonna say he’s honored.

And I’m not giving that trash list any attention, sorry my guy. Half them rappers is nikkas that you don’t even listen to (just like Lupe) and I’m supposed to debate it? :francis:

No thanks

Yea that’s crazy. Lupe thinks both Jay and Nas are GOAT and it’s easy to tell the different elements he got from both.
If cats were just more secure/comfortable in their own personal opinions then those debates/discussions would be a lot better. Lupe is a huge fan of both and it's obvious..... as is any hip hop head round his age. What are cats really arguing about?

I dont even know bruh. I guess nikkas is mad that Nas said Lupe reminds him of himself. nikka was just giving Lupe props and nikkas on here turned it into something negative like everything else. It’s obvious Lupe is a student of both these guys so I feel Jay would say the same thing. shyt if u listen to SLR 3 u can hear ALL Jay in that flow.

People saying Lupe is wack should stick to trash like bababy, future, migos.

Lupe has one of the best discographies in hiphop. 1st and 15 is a classic, the cool is a classic, tetso and youth is so close to being a classic, drogas wave is probably the best album I’ve heard in about 5yrs. And I’m not even including his classic mixtapes.

And please don’t compare j cole to lupe, he shyts on lupe in every category, lyrics, storytelling, albums. People completely forget for such a good mc cole is, he’s dropped numerous trash albums. His best forest hills drive can’t fukk with either of the 4 lupe albums.

Lupe is a better rapper than nas imo

I think Lupe is a better rapper than Nas and Jay-z in 2019...actually for like 10 years now. It's only natural, he is a serious student of both, he incorporated the best parts of their arsenals into his and left out most of the bad parts. The student should eventually become more polished than the instructor if the instructor isn't purposefully holding back information/skills from the student. Same can kind of be said for Rakim and Nas...or Kane and Jay-z. In terms of song making and legacy though, Lupe doesn't even come close to Nas or Jay-z...but on some rap skills shyt I think he already passed em. Lupe has a pen like a Mount Rushmore level URL rapper (probably better) and he has the musical catalog of a legendary rap artist on top of that, that guy is different.
