Vibe Magazine - Lupe Fiasco's Verse On MMG's 'Poor Decisions' Is The Year's Best

[Izanami]

That's my once favorite rapper

Def one of the better verses this year.

 

[iMajor]

I told Carter, Lupe back, but he didn't believe. Tell me you believe

this is his best verse since 2010. And on a beat that's more "hip hop" than any of that techno crap he has been feeling. Idk if he's back and we cant even tell because of him not wanting to put out anymore mixtapes. So we have to wait for features or random songs he drops here and there.

 

[DallasTxRep]

It was pretty hard

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I don't know it be feeling like the second someone gets remotely substantive everyone falls all over themselves to make proclamations...just shows how thirsty the mainstream really is for people with something to say

It was dope, he went in but it doesn't feel like some era/year defining moment...how can you say that barely a week after the track dropped....in June....

shyt got me so confused right now my niggy

How wack is rap that two of the hottest nikkas in the game got blown out by this run of the mill Lupe verse

 

[Battle]

Guess i'll have to relisten but we still got 6 months left..........

 

[kermit da hustla]

there's a lot that's wrong with this article, such as the premise that complexity equals greater skill, as if ross hasn't switched up his flow on numerous occasions. because he rhymed "basic bars" takes little away from how dope those bars were or how they matched the vibe of the beat.

also, if you're going to praise lupe's lyrics, GET THE fukkING LYRICS CORRECT. this dumbass blogger didn't even get the right wording for:

This house of odds is just a house of cards/Just without the yards, and nice adjacent parks

it's not "house of odds." it's "house of ours."

Talk about reaching.

Papoose dropped the album of the year they need to dedicate an issue in his honor !

I only liked that shooting spree line. I liked Ross verse the most.

 

[Ronald]

Unlike Nas' boring ass

Lupe actually is a lyricist that is enjoyable

he's a wordsmith and shows heavy influence of Jay's style of Double entendres and wordplay

But he does it more consistently better and at a higher level

He also has great delievery and flow

And that track proved that

It wasnt one of those verses where u feel like he was just reading rhymes off a paper

He utilized great use of delivery, flow, cadence and musicality in that verse

Lupe is

Amazing verse

Let's see if Nas, Common, Ab Soul, and Lamar can top that.


Or even Gemstones

Have you nikkas went to rapgenius and broke down this nikkas lyrics? The shyt is insane!

The Beloved T-Rex says
Grown man bars is somethin' you gotta deal with
Whole hand cards but nothin' that you can build with
That sound like bullshyt from out a bull mouth
Even the tepee is a full house
Simple shelter keep you out the cold
If you hold it close together, we'll never fold
Why you lettin' the devil beat you out your soul
You don't believe in God then at least believe in odds
This house of our is just a house of cards
Just without the yards, and nice adjacent parks
We was born black but that shyt'll make you dark
Even with a handful of hearts
Mind on the club just to find a little love, my regards
Cause when your P-O-V is poverty
It's like D-O-C a lottery, that D-O-C be lock and key
Finna D-O-P-E bob and weave
And the boxer boxin' free
Up out them rings like it was Rocky 3
Caught up in the game now
Look at how we came out like olly olly oxen free
That ain't why they watchin' me, yeah, yeah
Poor decider since like 4, 5 or sugar coated, colored edibles
Instead of buildin' up a habit in them vegetables
Now early 30s, my blood pressure's incredible
Medical, yeah nikka I'm tellin' you
Coveting cars over community
Rappers influence your shootin' sprees
Turn around and publish bars like it ain't got shyt to do with me
Easy to record so ruthlessly
Rich nikkas

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Rumor is lupe fiasco has a freestyle on ace hoods "Bugatti"

 

[blackslash]

nikkaz who go on rapgenius are fakketz

Catch the sht yourself instead of havign these hipster cacs on cacgenius break down sht for you

I love when a Lupe thread is made

Corny ass Lupe stans come out the woodworks spewing some delusional vile like "he's the best lyricist ever" . Dude is boring and corny, and dropped 2 sorry full lengths in a row. His verse on Poor Decisions was good but stop with the bullshyt. Ya'll sounding like Andre 3000 stans. I'm 1 starring this thread
