That best rapper alive statement has got to be one of the dumbest shyt in rap!

[Mvpbrodie93]

Nas is my favorite emcee of all time but he Aint better then current lupe. Even though lasers was wack he was still spitting fire

It doesn't matter if it's 1996 or 2011..

Nas>>>Lupe

..even your boy Lupe himself would disagree with your comment. Plus Jay started that "best rapper alive" bullshit...until he was proven wrong.

 

[CMac]

C/s thread premise as long as Nas and Jay are still breathing on this earth no nigga can say there the best rapper alive. I guess niggas started saying that since Lil Wayne kept saying that years back when he was at his best.

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

Lupe still hasn't made a album that rivals illmatic,god's son,lost tapes,nigger etc...Stop it...just cuz lupe raps complex doesn't mean he's better..Nas got serious records in his catalog

Illmatic was over 15 years ago. When the last time Nas made an album as good as FnL or the Cool? Stillmatic?

Lupe is the best technically skilled emcee in the game.

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

That's like saying rakim is the best rapper alive, who's seeing paid in full? Lol

Worrrheaarddddd!!!! A problem with hip-hop is people live in the pass too often.

Current Jay Z ain't close to being the best rapper alive

 

[brazilblur]

God's Son?

Distant Relatives?

Untitled aka The N Album?

C'mon son...I like Lupe too, but let's think logically.

The problem is cats wanna bury those that blazed the trails for newer cats and the new cats haven't made it up the ladder with the GOATs yet the audience of today wanna put them their prematurely...

Gods son- great album...8 years ago not as good as lupes first 2

DR-solid album but Nas basically coasted and was the costar to damien IMO

Unintitled-Average album that ive rarely went back to listen to since 08'

Lupe is better

God's Son?

Distant Relatives?

Untitled aka The N Album?

C'mon son...I like Lupe too, but let's think logically.

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

BTW Nas is the best rapper of all time

Whens the last time Nas dropped bars as nice as this

Uh, Opus of a ghetto boy who grew into a project man
Brewster Place, he used to stick his scissors in his sockets damn,
clear that Project Runway, 'cause this is where my rocket lands,
ain’t got no problems, Houston, I A.K.A. then rocket land.
Events recent that lit a fire under him like pots and pans,
rockets and I (eye) up in the sky like helicopter cams...

And you down there in the traffic jam
from here I’ve seen a bunch of fake shit like avid wrestlin' fans...
Came up from the bottom of the eye exam ZOOM
Now I’m like the biggest G up in the room,
still hard to see me like the truth on TV
or the roof from the sidewalk, I don’t flo' (floor), I ceiling

Lupe is better

imo nas is far better then lupe fiasco god son alone is better then any lupe album i don't even have to mention untitled nas is just the better lyricist and has better albums

Nobody is burying the older generation, but bar for bar right now at the moment idk how someone can say Lupe isnt seeing Nas. But we'll agree to disagere.

or the roof from the sidewalk, I don’t flo' (floor), I ceiling

If all I saw was gangsters

Coming up as a youngster

Pussy and money the only language I clung to

Claim to, unrolled myself up to become one

Ain't ya happy I chose rap? I'm amongst the

Streets deceiving

Can't believe my achievements

Cultural strata

Persona's that of a non-needer

Because I don't need nada except for Prada beaver

For cold winters, tattoos got my summer's sleeveless

To my G's on the flee from the coppers (coppers)

Stiff bodies on freeze in funeral parlors (parlors)

From the slums I come up a phoenix

Caked up, tryin' to take what I'm eating

Came up a dismissive kid (kid)

You lucky if you allowed to witness this

Savvy mouth

While hardly a man's man

Who woulda knew the beach houses and wild parties

Jezebel's and Stella McCartney's?

For years, all that

How could I not be dead?

This old German

Said I was a thug with a knotty head

Looked at my Benz and called that a Nazi sled

With a face like he wonder where I got my bread

Probably all these stones he see

From my shows overseas

From crime to rhyme

My story is I'm from the home of the thieves

Lupe is better

Lupe hasn't made an Illmatic, It Was Written Or I Am.....Food and Liquor and The Cool, good as those albums are aren't even close to those albums.

Even Lupe's favorite album was It Was Written. Like I mentioned before he wouldn't even agree with you saying he's better, even though it's all flattery.

And you say Lupe is better. Based on what?

 

[ocelot]

i think that people should always feel that they are the best at what they do...

cuz if they didnt then the music would be bad... and thats bad for the us who buys the music (most of us)

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

imo nas is far better then lupe fiasco god son alone is better then any lupe album i don't even have to mention untitled nas is just the better lyricist and has better albums

Gods son isn't better then Food N Liquor. Again Prime Nas>Anyone but Lupe is better NOW

Food N Liquor is on par with IWW and it's WAY better then I Am. I dont really care what lupe thinks about himself compared to Nas.Lupe is better now because he's just nicer lyrically at the moment
