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

[Punisher__]

ay how u quote sumbody else shit. btw that nigga jamaica hit the nail on the head. nigas overrate him because very few nigas in the mainstream got lyrics.

When did Lupe become a mainstream rapper? One top 10 hit doesn't make you mainstream.

Stop making excuses, b.

Your fave rapper has done a soundtrack for a 'wack' movie...

 

[Treize117]

You're overrating F&L, that album was good but it is not I repeat NOT classic.

yea, it is

maybe one track u should skip

 

[rico_ENS]

how r those albums overrated or overhyped all those albums had better songs and overrall bigger impact on the game than lupes i never heard nigas sayin that the cool or food n liqour laid a blueprint or changed the way nigas rapped.

 

[5th Letter]

yea, it is

Maybe in a few years I would have to see how well that album holds up, but at the time I remember skipping a lot of the tracks toward the end of the album.

 

[rico_ENS]

pimpmvp just leave. did this niga just say that big n jay got NO classics n lupe go 2. as i said earlier. pimpmvp just leave.

Lookin at the last five tracks: The Cool, Hurt Me Soul, Pressure, American Terrorist, Emperor's Soundtrack

Maybe a difference in taste but all of those are solid tracks to me...maybe skip emperor's soundtrack, its not as easily appealin but even then the beat was hot and he still spit

You have to put it in context, b. And you're overrating some of those albums. It took Illmatic, for example, years to be recognized as a landmark album. It wasn't a hit right out the gate.

F&L will probably go down the same path as an Illmatic...under the radar initially, but will gain in value as time goes on.

 

[Treize117]

Lmao @ niggas thinkin the movie reflects on lupe as a rapper

the fuckin song rocks...

closed minded niggas lookin for a reason to hate exit stage left

nigga cubanlynx1 wasnt as commercially successful as the others i listed n that gave alot of nigas the bluprint on how to do that mafioso style rap. i guess he influenced a bunch of yall niggas to start skateboardin n wearing bifocals wit tight ass jeans n shit. btw nas minus the classics n the lil street cred he got = lupe

So ur list drops from 5 albums to 1 lmao

And ur right, niggas learned mafioso rappin styles from cuban linx...not the other 1000 albums out usin that style in the same period...try again

and naw, lupe influenced me to think...u should try it

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Lupe Made One Song About Skateboarding. WTF are you talking about?

And you're mentioning "street cred." I know you're not black.

I thought Kool G Rap gave the blueprint on how to do mafioso rap.

You seem to be stalling, sir. Stop making excuses.

Nas' "classics" and "street cred" are null because he has like 12 years on Lupe. Too much proximity there. Give Lupe 12 more years, and I'm sure he'll have the same industry clout that Nas does.

But regardless, that doesn't change how dope Lupe is lyrically and the high level of quality in his work.

whatever nigga, the point is Lupe is elite period

u can bring up 94 all u want, yea that shit was classic but its 2010

that shit was great for that time, just like lupe makes great music for this generation

we had 15 years of drug/hood rap, u aint gotta be bout that shit to be successful anymore nigga, wake the fuck up

 

[I'm THAT guy...]

How can you all say that Food and Liquor wasn't a classic, it had everything anybody could want from a lyricist, a wide range of subject matter, very few rap features, great production, not to mention 4 grammy nominations and one win. Imo, it was one of the best albums of 06.
