@The Ruler 09 my nikka I know you not up in here throwing shade at the gawd Wasalu

I'm a Lupe fan, but X at his peak >>>>> any rapper not named Nas or Jay-Z

bruh, at X's peak, I gave little fukks about Jay-Z. To keep it 100.

I was anticipating "And There Was X" more than any hip hop album at the time.

K-Rino is vastly superior to Lupe. Lupe isn't in the same stratosphere, at his best he's good but he has mad wack songs and is very inconsistent. K-Rino has more albums than I even remember better than EVERY Lupe album. He is also a MUCH better MC, Lupe has a lot of work to do to become 10 percent of the artist K-Rino is, if he works hard maybe 1 day he could achieve that lofty goal though.

Slippin is better than any track on Lupe's last album to me.

But K-Rino has no wack songs, right?

A bunch of other joints too, prime X was probably more entertaining and probably a better MC, Lupe's voice and presence often leaves a lot to be desired. He's more driven by puzzle raps than emotion or song crafting at times and that hurts him. When Lupe sticks to his strengths and doesn't go into the nerd mode shyt he can make some dope shyt. He's just far too inconsistent to be mentioned as a great.

I peeped that Deprogrammed album by K-Rino off the strength of one of your post a while back.

I'ma be honest, Lupe has mixtapes better than that album

Cool, well we can agree to disagree, even that album I think is better than all of Lupe's albums. But if that's the only album you've heard then obviously that's a bit bias, I've heard all of Lupe and K-Rino's work before coming to my conclusion. Seems like you've only heard 1 K-Rino album out of around 36.

You think both is better than IDAHIH

I think their Debut's are about on par with each other, with DMX's certainly having more impact which gives it the nod.

I would definitely listen to the cool before any other DMX album though.

Another thing to consider is that Lupe may not have peaked just yet...and even if he has, his musical output hasn't been allowed to reflect that over the last couple albums. Now that he's free he may ramp it up a little more.

There was this guy name 2pac....and this other one who I think people call Kool G Rap...and I heard Scarface was really good

Real talk.

He just needs some better producers around him. But yeah he still got it to make classics.
