If Food & Liquor II is a classic, Lupe is Officially a 2000's GOAT: Agree or Disagree?

[idoitforhiphop10]

I personally agree, but you know haters are gonna use Lasers to discredit him tho.

>Greatest of all time

>a 2000's GOAT

wat?

 

[_Menace_]

GOAT and Classic get thrown around here a lot.....

 

[A1000MILES]

How can you be a 2000's "greatest of all time"...?....

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Lasers was fuckin' horrible...especially for a rapper who was seen as one who wasn't afraid to stand up against fashion and stereotypes...but yo anyone who uses it to discredit Lupe is a hater

I'd say Kanye's catalogue is better...but Lupe is much the better MC...And I'm not even a big Lupe fan (way too pretentious for my likin')

But yeah...If its a classic...he's the 2000s GOAT

 

[Trillaaaaaa]

Half his music is boring though....and I like Lupe but sometimes I be tuning his shit out to where I gotta rewind it and try to listen. I don't like when music becomes a chore

 

[nj2089]

Alot of the best rappers had bad albums

 

[5th Letter]

nope

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Y'all niggas really listened to bad bitch more than once?

 

[Copper]

lupe is good and I like food and liquor.....but in IMO he tires to hard to be a smart, concious rapper...instead of just letting whatever happens happen

 

[idoitforhiphop10]

On a unrelated note, why is he boycottin spin magazine?

 

[CracceR]

if he could bounce bacc after lasers and serve a classic he would be goat of the 2000s imo

 

[jono]

He's already there. When it comes to great MCs since 2000 how do you forget Lupe? I think its more just seeing where he can land on an all-time list now.

 

[Nah Son]

I am last Thursdays GOAT

 

[Amotekun]

Bad Bitch is an Ill Single.

Although Lasers was a let down, can't blame Lupe for it. That release was too studio influenced much to his protest.

Facts

FNL Classic Album

The Cool Classic Album

By classic I mean they had mass appeal without compromising his vision.

FNL2 should be the same way. I'm looking forward to it.

I can play Lasers but most of the CD is aight. It's meh. Thats no bueno because folks expect more from Lu.

CS...when I say he's a lil pretentious this is what I mean...you don't hear anyone say Common, Mos or Talib try too hard to be sound smart...But you do hear that about Nas sometimes...

Reason I say Lupe is pretentious can be summed up in a line from Bad Bitch..

"Now let's say that they less concerned with him

And more with the video girl acquiescent to his whims"

Acquiescent?..was it necessary to use this word?...One of George Orwell's rules of writin' was not to use big, uncommon words when a regular word would do...(Another one of his rules was to ignore all his rules if they made your work sounds silly...so...whatever)

Just a small example...When you do things like that is comes off as though you're tryin' to sound smart...

Lmao, everybody else in this thread gets the point of this thread but you. Music can be broken down into these things called "eras" bruh. There are some musicians who are dope in earlier eras, and others who are dope in later eras. We are in the 2000 era, hence the thread title.

I'm sorry this thread isn't related to having threesomes with other dudes, or some other topic you are familiar with. Now move along.
