One of the greatest to ever do it when he first came out.

Now its rapping over wack ass beats and complaining about shyt that none of his fans will ever care about

Lupe is so great it's crazy
The thing that is going on now is... though he still makes above avg dope music he's changed a lot.

Because now he's trying to push a message of peace and asking ppl to think.
But it's not as easy to drop multis AND drop a message, it's damn near impossible.

Imagine doing a concept cohesive song with nothing but multis and a dope flow.

You gotta put words there and MAKE IT fit rather than it just simply fitting if you want a message to go through or if you are on the same topic throughout several bars.

I got on Lupe late though, shortly after his first album.

His name was Lupe, so Initially I was always like "who's this Spanish dude trynna rap"
I remember seeing his name in Hip Hop Game's audio section, remember that?
