Lupe Fiasco=Future G.O.A.T.??

[ItzGravitation]

I bolded what you said about record sales.. you seem to equate record sales.. with skill thats my point.. records sales these days dont even compare to the actual worth of 15-20 years ago..

Payolla..

they still mean somethin

 

[churchboy2]

they still mean somethin

Explain MC Hammer, Young MC & Vanilla Ice being among the biggest selling rappers of all time?

Sales are a very limited indicator of skills.

No kid, no.

Sales don't mean shit.

Jean Grae would murder most all high selling artists, including Wayne in a battle of SKILL. She hasn't sold worth shit, but the skill is there.

[ItzGravitation]

why when niggas bring up sales niggas mention Hammer and Ice

is this a typical IC rebutal for when your fav artists cant sell and you need a crutch to lean on?

 

[playmaker88]

LOL.

no. MC hammer wasnt great.. but during his time he was the shit.. he was more of a dance artists than a rapper persay...

my only arguement AGAINST lupe is that he's still a rookie in my eyes. he hasnt put out enough music to be called the best.. he nice tho he's the future along wit j. cole, drake, cudi, wale, kanye. them niggaz right there r hip-hop

 

[Focal Point]

well we kan all agree... sales equate only popularity and the ability to make mainstream music

Um, Lupe's been doing what he does since the early 2000s.

He may only have 2 released albums and one on the way, but he has a ton of mixtapes.

 

[BEAM]

Seriously though, if Lupe were to make a public service announcement tonight and claim that he was the most lyrically and conceptually skilled rapper of all time, who would be able to stand up and prove him wrong?

Who could you really see being like, "Nah kid, I'm better than you", and be Right?

Few would even dare to challenge him. They know what it is.

ru serious? Wale and J Cole are getting major buzz right now. Lupe has buzz too but for some reason (niggas is cheap) his records that sell that well

 

[Ajax McJones]

I'm guessing that you're too young to remember when Hammer & Ice were selling tens of millions of albums, and the media were passing them off as REAL hip hop.

The period of time crystalized for many that sales could never be used as a standard for the art of MCing.

It's not a crutch man, it's just reality for cats who lived through it.
