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

[Tupacfan]

Lupe is decent enough to be one thee greatest, i can't really call out any flaws..

 

[bankrupt baller]

pac and lupe are two of my favorite rappers......one had messages that were clear cut for most to understand,the other does it in a more "lyrical" way that might be harder for some to pick up on.......they are both doing similar things just delivering it in different ways.....you CAN like both lol.........why should lupe change? for you? lol.

 

[5th Letter]

He is NOT lightskin and secondly he addressed the title change on "Hero"

I hope you can then comprehend, why all that = the N.I.G.G.E.R. wasn't about an album title, it was about a Movement, it was about what he represented in even signing that deal, it was about a fruition of what he was hyped as since '94/made to appear as that phenom from "Hood.

Especially when he played that Image, so hard, even culminating into him denouncing/disrespecting/talking greezee at The Greatest, Living, Civil Rights Advocate of our Times.

He pulled a fake-fucc-fallacy when claiming to snatch 'the torch' from up out Jesse's hand, then got his lil' Pop Culture props for that minstrelism, and rode that career-upgrade right on into;

getting slapped back into his place, on The Plantation, after all of those months of faking-the-funk with N.I.G.G.E.R. title, for that album.

Dumb ass, N.I.G.G.E.R. stood for something, it was a message and an attempt to further desensitize the word. Did you listen to the album, it as a classic in every sense, and pushed for Black civil rights and portrayed a positive message to black people. Nas didn't want to drop the album title, but CONGRESS called and made it happen. Yes, the(arguably) most powerful branch of the U.S. government stopped his movement b/c it was too controversial and too powerful. And he got at Jesse Jackson cause that nigga said some stupid shit about Obama on tv cause he was jealous or some shit. Get your facts straight before calling it bufoonery and hating on Nas and his classic album.

 

[5th Letter]

and I don't care what he addressed on 'Hero', it's about the facts. I don't care how he cushioned his paratrooper-jump, from that spaceship. I want the facts. And the facts say, he got put in place. You don't do that, after disrespecting the Greatest Civil-Rights advocate of our times.

The facts say, Seagram's Gin told L.A. Reid to clean out his corner office if that album come out with that title. And you see what Nas did to bowdown/preserve that opportunity he earned, from riding an ether'd camel past an Island (def jam) mirage.

Plus that niggu chased a spoiled *milkshake, to the Yard*
got his lame azz stuck...in Alimony's monkeybars.

Did you really listen to the album? If you say he was put in his place then certain songs about certain subject matters would have been axed. It was only an album title big fucking deal.

 

[5th Letter]

getting slapped back into your place over your infamous-creativity, is no big fuccing deal?
getting slapped back into your place, after you had nerve to disrespect the Greatest, Living, Civil-Rights Advocate of our times, is no big fuccen deal?

getting slapped back into your place, after uttering these words to the public, is no big fuccen deal?

"I think Jesse Jackson, he's the biggest player hater," Nas fumed during a conference call. "His time is up. All you old n---as, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don't wanna hear that sh-- no more. It's a new day. It's a new voice. I'm here now. We don't need Jesse; I'm here. I got this. ... It's no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain't helping nobody in the 'hood. That's the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!"

He Changed an album title not the content of his music. If he was forced to change some shit in the music then you would have a point but he changed his album title. Jesse Jackson disrespects the black youth in this country at certain times before. You cannot be serious, you didn't hear him disrespect Obama?

"We trust no black leaders, use the stove to heat us
Powdered eggs and government cheeses
The calendars with Martin, JFK and Jesus..."

 

[wordsRweapons]

lol @ this thread becoming a debate over Nas last solo album.

 

[DRO]

Dont get me wrong, lupe is a supreme mc, but just off top of the dome, lupe got killed by 4 southern artist so far...

1.ti - superstar remix

2.jezzy - superstar remix

3. Janell monae - tight rope

4. B.o.b - tight rope

and i think the saddest part of it all, janell really murdered him more than anybody on this list...

 

[buttuh_b]

lol @ them all being on those 2 songs..... I've only heard the Tightrope Remix a couple times so I won't comment but I do agree with Superstar Remix. With that said, Lupe is unfuckwitable when he wants to be.

 

[bankrupt baller]

Sounds like that Superstar remix verse went over your head...it's ok.....Lupe tends to do that.

you goin over niggas heads lu,dumb it down.

 

[Bcotton5]

Janelle Monae from the Midwest aint she?

 

[DRO]

kanas city by way of atl

Lupes verse aint go ove rmy head, but u aint finna tell me ti aint merk him on that track

 

[5th Letter]

Lupe-Maniacs in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

 

[Already Home_17]

I thought lupes verse was real boring on that tightrope remix
b.o.b. and janelle brought energy to the track while lupe came with this boring ass flow
he's still one of my fav. rappers tho

 

[Miles HIGH]

*Agrees, holds head high with southern pride*

Lol, Lupe still dope though.

 

[DRO]

t.i. Had flow and that was probably the best verse he spit in his life.

I'm not giving you janelle, b.o.b, or jeezy...

man please!

Ill give u jeezy verse, but u aint bout to tell me janelle aint kill that song better than lupe did

 

[Brian B.]

pure blasphemy....

that was a sarcastic response... I have yet to hear these songs, so my opinion is invalid

 

[Miles HIGH]

Lupe lyrically killed that. If you think he didn't than it went over your head. Janelle's verse was simple and straightforward.

Greetings, welcome to the meeting of the minds

they be thinking all the time bout the defeating of the blind

following, swallowing, drinking of* the time

honored* traditions, of, keeping in a line (align)

I prefer to figure 8* (figure 8) and* Mandelbrot,

rock all night 'til the candles on my mantle stops

and it's paid programming on, every single channel watched

televised revolutionaries on the chapel tops,

shouting, down at Babylonian accounting

medieval mathematics keep us average in amounting

but I surpass that, I dropped out of they math class

I am, cause I thought now my tightrope's like a sidewalk.

Yeah, lyrically it was dope, but that don't make it a better rap verse. That makes it a nice poem to read. But when someone actually performs a verse, more comes into play than just what they're saying. It's about how they're saying it.
