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

[Treize117]

Illmatic, IWW nas?

Expound fam...

Lupe doesnt have albums that measure up like that but on the grounds of lyricism...like straight rap skills...

Metaphors-nobody can write metaphors like Lup. He can carry one, two, three even through an entire song. See "The Coolest"

Concepts- He can use one concept and take it multiple places...See "Intruder Alert"...rape, illegal immigration, and drug abuse all under the same premise

Flow and Rhyme Scheme...

[video=youtube;RaiwEPX7gnM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaiwEPX7gnM[/video]

Im not even gonna say anything

Storytelling- The entire "Cool" album lol but specifically The Cool(the song), Instrumental, Kick Push

Fuck, he even does personification lol, like "Put You on Game" (which was sick as fuck by the way)

Negro please. NAS, Eminem>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lupe..............

00' eminem?

 

[Yungin T. Jeezie]

Lol my nig memebr I said

Lyrically?

Canibus>>>>>>>>>>95% of the game

Musically?

Alot of the game>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>canibus

Lol yea i remember that, i said that so Jam can catch feelings over that post

 

[a.mann]

Lyricism is about the technical parts of rappin...metaphors, wordplay, flow, imagery, rhyme scheme, etc.

That being said, Lupe is the greatest TECHNICALLY SKILLED emcee ever to touch a mic. Canibus aint have no kind of metaphors and concepts to fuck wit Lupe. AT ALL.

Em is the only rapper u can mention in that convo wit Lupe, and even then u can make an argument either way...

nonsense

Pharoahe Monch, 1st two albums lyrics, d production, replay value >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lupe's by about 5 light years

i slept on the cool but been listening to it a lot lately, intruder alert alone jumps lupe up 20 spots on my all time list, but he still got to put in a lot of work before i even mention him in the same sentence as nas, big, jay, ghost, az, em, krs, etc..

i know hes holding on to lasers and working on food and liquor 2 but are there any mixtapes out there old or new or songs that didnt make the albums, all i got is the two albums

Nas..........

When Your Spirit Is Strained, And U Limited to Change
The Lyrics In Your Limericks will Change
A Different Hook The Way Your Sentences Arranged
More Demented In Your Deliverance
More Sinister In Your Slang
Sounds More Belligerent When Its Sang
The Truth, Is Limitless In Its Range
If You Drop A 't' And Look At It In Reverse It Could Hurt
Look At The Grimaces Of The Pain
And Its Worse When It Works
And Your Membership Is Gained
But Your Forgetting The Proof Diminishes In the Flames Like Poof
The Media Pours Images In Your Brain Of The Score Of The War
Where Militants Are Slain
The Faces Of The Guilty Where Innocence Is Proclaimed
And They Filthy,
The Deaf Ears Are The Winners
The Listeners Are The Lames
Of The Ballad Of The Man That The Son Of A Minister Has Became So...
-lupe (glory)

I actually liked the mix wit him and Drake the best, but yea

"Still hard to see me like the truth on tv
Or the roof from the sidewalf
I dont flow, i ceiling"

always loved that line lol

Turnt Up, Yoga Flame, National Anthem

lot of ridiculous spit on that tape...

 

[as seen on tv]

lupe is DAT nigga

 

[goodfella2050]

lupe aint that nice, dont even have a classic album yet hes the new cannibus

 

[Avenged Sevenfold]

Lupe isn't amazing, he has a flow and that is it. I bought The Cool and I only liked 3 songs off that. The rest is just plain boring
