Pass me the rock nikka
Lupe wasn't that cryptic in the mid-2000's, I understand all of F&L and The Cool he became more cryptic and smart dumb nikka ish over time.
So Lupe Fiasco be ghost writin, huh?

Right. He got a grammy for work 1st and 15th did on someone's album. I can't find the interview where he mentioned it.
Yes he could be at times. He just did it less often.
And the nikkas lyrics are more genius than ever.

not saying this isnt true or possible. but until we get proof, u come across as some conspiracy minded bottom feeding nikkaz who only joy in life is to expose a succesful nikka to cover up lack of happiness…. basically, u would make a good public intellectual of feminist scholar in 2015. right now this is basicaly guilt by association. many rappers sound alike and borrow flows and cadences shyt, its part of the creative process, no one is wholly original. as the saying goes, "you are the sum of ya influences”. unfortunately, you takin that basic artistic truth and running with it to some fantasy land shyt…..
make no mistake, if lupe really did write for jay, hov’s stature as an artist would deplete significantly. so you gonna have to give me more proof beyond "this song/flow/cadence/lyrics sound like that song another rapper did so of course that rapper wrote for him”… thats ridicloulous. do you know how much “art" is basically derivative? thats not the same as plagarism or ghostwriting though.

That and "hater" are both overused in the wrong scenarios.

They say a midget standin on the giant's shoulder can see much
further than the giant
So I got the WHOLE rap world on my shoulder they tryin to see
further than I am
And I have been tryin to be patient with they preoccupation
with David and Goliath
But sooner or later, that patience gonna run it's course
and I'm forced to be a tyrant
But bein tyrant, comin through your environment
I'm so far ahead of my time, I'm bout to start another life
Look behind you, I'm bout to pass you twice
Back to the future and gotta slow up for the present
I'm fast, nikkaz can't get past my past
How they propose to deal with my perfect present?
That's Lu's run on metaphor style. Look how it goes from the giant theme to the "patient with they preoccupation
with David and Goliath." Then the patience run it's course and being a giant turns him to a tyrant. And he says tyrant twice. The same pattern repeats in a later verse just like Lupe does.
Lupe won a Grammy for Daydreaming.
This video confirms he didn't write that to me . Couldnt even handle the flow correctly. Struggle. Never heard another song like that again from "Jay "

The original verses are better than both of those. He rewrote them after he heard Jays..
it's that "he can do no wrong" syndrome. Drake is in that lane now, him and kendrick. And J.Cole.
I was saying "Drake is the new Jay" awhile back during the quentin miller shyt cause he's the same status, same exposures, same getting clowned for being swagless, same flow jackin, line jackin, and backed up by them folks, but every other month new shyt comes up that has me likejay really was drake before drake.
I've got ideas about nas as well, but that's for another thread
Make the thread bro
