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

[thetruth391]

somebody break down that ghostface verse 4 me

 

[edutained_by_hh]

I still don't see the hype on Lupe, he shows glimpses of greatness to me but he isn't as good as people say. GZA and Meth>>>>Lupe.

 

[SOWETO]

before you just give it to lupe(who's very good), you could argue the same about nas.

 

[Pervis]

I agree with ghost>>>>>Lupe

but how is ghost better all around emcee then Jay Z?

How is he not? Ghost has better lyrics, better delivery, better subject matter, better catalogue, better wordplay and better storytelling. It's common knowledge Ghostface is a far superior mc. Just cuz the camel sold more that don't mean shit.

Average freestyle....

He used the concept of the Twilight zone into a song. Metaphors were on point.

But yall eastcoast niggaz just like that gritty, "I'm bum, grimey, sellin coke, and beat up niggas" music...lol

...Wu-Tang are pioneers...trendsetters...Lupe is a underachiever...and you are a dickhead for the remarks in quotation...

 

[nyst8ofmin]

this is absurd. there is no comparison. wu is almost 20 yrs deep in the rap game so it should be obvious that in regards to ability alone, there skill is way above lupe.
im not much of a lupe fan altho he does have some heat but to compare him to the likes of ghost, gza, ins, rza, rae, meth, masta killa, cappadonna yes even ugod is ridiculous.

now with that being said, how many pages are ya'll gonna get to before your realize that this is all based on opinion and nobody is necessarily right or wrong?

wu destroys lupe.

and.....if you cant decipher a raekwon verse i understand why you would think lupe is better than them

 

[IceBergTaylor]

no he doesnt.

both him and raekwons shit sound like strings of consciousness put together that sound like mini-titangraphs. most of the time, these niggas dont even rhyme.

what is ghostface's subject matter about?

show me some wordplay by ghostface thats worth mentioning.

but i know you probably wont. because this is what most fans of legends do. no substantiated claims or proof behind their opinion. they will say ridiculous things like someone is better because of they they broke thru and existed in a time prior to now when rappers werent a dime a dozen and skills were actually a real factor. im not saying that these guys dont have skills and i'm not ignoring the groundwork they did as pioneers, because whether i like it or not, they are pioneers.

what im saying is, at the end of the day, lupe as a whole is a better artist than anyone from the wu because of flow, talent, storytelling skills, wordplay, metaphors/similies and content....and i can back up my opinion.

Lupe may be better lyrically,

but the Wu Tang members have better delivery.

Try to prove lupe can outflow method man. You cant.

 

[lamontbdc]

buy not sure if i would say he's better than ghost face or rae but he's cruising pass half of the wu easily.

 

[wordsRweapons]

Lupe aint fucking with the Wu's flow and delivery

Never understood the Lupe Hype... dude is boring and his so called super lyrical skills arent that hard to decipher.

 

[supaman4321]

I've gotta agree with the people saying Lupe's better there isn't ANYTHING that he can't do on a song, you want a story he can give you a store, you want a variety of subject matter he can do that too. Flow? outta this world, Delivery? Check. He can spit over any type of beat and sound right in pocket no matter what he does with the flow, He's one of the most complete emcees to ever grace the mic in my opinion, only people that are on his same level ini my opinion are Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch, and Nas. You can put him on a song with ANYBODY and there's a very high chance they'll get outshone. How many other rappers can you honestly say that about?

 

[wordsRweapons]

This is the best example of flow you can come up with? lol...

Thats just a standard WU track

Youre a fool if you think Lupe's delivery shits on these niggas

 

[nujerz84]

whats to understand about his hype? he is heralded because of his crazy metaphors, themes, references, and concepts. if you can decipher his "lyrical skills", you should be able decipher the hype.

The hype when people say things likehe the greatest MC of all time type shit or that his skillz are greatly superior to some of the greats and legends of the game. Only on the net do people seem to hold him with such high esteem.

YES!!! You are on point in this thread right now son.

Sell. He's as good as GZA, RZA, and Method Man in their prime. He's better then Ghostface right now but still aint fuckin wit Raekwon. Rae is still makein that Wu Tang style sound hot. Ghost is still doin his thing but not like he used too. Lupe is one of the best young cats right now, i think he could be top 10 by the time hes done. And he already has 2 classic albums under his belt.

 

[t. webb]

I'll Buy it....I've never understood the love for GZA or Rae. Meth is decent and Ghostface is the best of all them but Lupe is that dude.....
