Nas just called Lupe as the 2nd coming of Nas..

[spliz]

I agree with this but discographies shouldn't be a part of the convo.

Nore was asking Nas about emcee skills and he accurately named Lupe as the next evolution.

I think the problem some people have with that is the fact that Lupe didn't make traditional NYC backpack hip hop, so they don't want to include him in that lineage even though he's obviously a god level emcee.

Nah. The Coli just has this thing where if they dont like someone. The artist is garbage and noone else can like them either. U dont even have to like Lupe to see where Nas is coming from wit that. If ur a level headed person.

I agree with this too.

That's why I had to stop coming here looking for real music discussion.

Forum is full of male groupies that are only here to promote the artists they like.

For people saying Lupe sounds nothing like Nas... when Nas said Lupe reminded him of himself, it had nothing to do with Lupe sounding like a Nas clone. Lol

The project window vision, and being able to craft stories with vivid imagery in a creative manner is a trait Lupe inherited from him. People saying he only exhibits the worst of Nas traits don’t really listen with a keen ear:

Are you saying the mixtapes got him more attention than Kick Push?

Kick push got him more attention mainstream wise. Mixtapes is what got him his notoriety

 

[youreWelcomeBk]

I was a Lupe fan, but he lost me at some point. I still think his best work is the og Food & Liquor that leaked. The retail version is great too and IMO the closest he came to a classic. The Cool was dope, but was all over the place for it to be a concept record. Things unraveled with his third album, which sounded like it was going to be an excellent 3 CD set, but that idea was canceled and we got Lasers. F&L 2 was cool and the album he put out on 2015 was crazy. I checked the latest one, but didn't like it as much.

Lyrically, he reminds me of Nas. I think his stans are taking the compliment too far though. In terms of influence, there's really nothing about him that couldn't be attributed to Pharrell or Kanye.
