Buy or sell, Lupe is better then anyone in the WU Tang

[5th Letter]

sMMFH...........

What song do you think is his best?

 

[Treize117]

Meth has flow on raw tracks to club tracks and did it effortlessly, As soon as Lupe goes outside of his lane his flow sounds ackward. There is no comparsion:

Meth Flow > Lupe

Yea those sound real "awkward"...smh...

I know exactly how this thread will end. The old heads/east coast posters will ride for the Wu, younger/mid west/southern posters will ride for Lupe.

I predicted it too.

I can tell you haven't heard enough of Inspectah Deck and Gza. Those two along with Rza are the best pure lyricist in the group. Ghost and Rae have other intangibles that make them great artist.

Homie, I was a Wu junkie for YEARS. You're crazy if you think Inspectah Deck is a better lyricist than Ghost or Rae. Do you know how many time he got obliterated on their group songs? Come one Jamacia....

I know, the mf gets on tracks with those retarded ass ''I" shit, I do this, I do that, I went there, I am up in the air. He did that bullshit on the NERD "everybody knows remix", i'm like dude stop rapping like a fucking robot

 

[Treize117]

Obviously to the rest of the world too seeing how his music can't seem to connect on a mass level

nigga has 6 grammy nominations and 2 gold albums...F&L almost plat, at like 900,000 sold...he been on world tour 6 times...what the fuck are you even talkin about....

 

[jonathand]

So...

I hear southerners mention SODMG too...

Stop flip flopping. You're the one that stated that "only East Cost people" bullshit...

 

[rapmastermind]

Eastcoast niggaz I tell you lol...stuck in the 90's.

There are people fucking with the Wu lol

I rather be stuck in the 90's than cosigning the worst era in rap history in which Lupe is shinning in. It's easy to standout in an era of wack rhymes and albums than when Wu Tang came out where Classics were dropping monthly.

I said pure lyricist, but there are things Rza lacked that Ghost and Rae have, so that made them better overall MC's than Rza, and just because someone is a lyricist it doesn't automatically make them a better rapper.

Lupe is not as global as Wu Tang. Wu Tang is a BRAND. Lupe is a rapper. Big Difference.

 

[5th Letter]

Now Method Man's flow is better than Lu's....yall dumb lol

How is that farfetched? Meth has one the best flows in hip hop history.

May be true...but thats not really the point now is it...

So does Lupe

Oh really, show me and official Soundscan of those numbers because i know youre talking out your ass. I've seen his numers!

and you better not come at me with no Wikipedia bullshit either, because that shit aint accurate

Yeah it is debatable but homie made it seem like saying Meth has a great flow is wrong and is so farfetched that there was no way Meth flow has any kind of potential to be better.

Ok, please tell me something that Deck does better than Ghost or Rae? He doesn't have a better flow. He surely isn't more creative with his verses. He doesn't bring an ounce of the complexity of Ghost or Rae. I'm confused by this "pure lyricist" shit. Deck doesn't possess the creative writing capabilities of Ghost or Rae, so how is he a better "pure lyricist"? Isn't the core of lyricism to excel at creating verses in an extraordinary fashion? If so, Ghost and Rae do that extremely better...

Fuck does being a brand have to do with rap ability?

Soulja Boy is a brand.
Gucci Mane is a brand.

What's your point?

N o

LOL, Soulja Boy and Gucci Mane are not BRANDS. Are you serious? Selling ringtones is one thing, having Multiplatinum albums is another. Wu Tang as a Brand has moved well over 20 Million albums. Gucci Mane and Soulja boy, neither of them have 1 Platinum solo album. Let's be serious now. If you ain't alteast going Platinum, it's diffcult to be worldwide. My point is Wu Tang is WORLDWIDE. Lupe, not so much.

Oh yes deck flow is definitely better than both Ghost and Rae. He bodied both of them on different songs Deck had the best verse on Triumph, he bodied Rae on C.R.E.A.M and he got Ghost It's Yours.

Why dont you, u seem to know where to look...

But I KNOW both albums went gold, I KNOW he got the grammy nominations, and I KNOW he been on world tour a at least 6 times....only thing im not sure about is the 900,000 copies, but that hardly amounts to "talkin out my ass"

I gotta agree with lil homie on this one. Being a brand brings absolutely nothing to an argument about who's the better rapper/lyricist etc. Diddy Dirty Diapers is a brand but he sure as hell isn't seeing a number of producers who are not as "appealing"..
