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

He is. Lupe is like Canibus except he makes WAY better albums, more versatile and is an excellent songwriter

Why is Canibus a better emcee than Nas though, cause he tries his hardest to be 'complexed' and confuse his audience in his lyrics, making tracks with no substance many a time, can he tell a story with as much detail as this [video=youtube;_YSpG8yi4hI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YSpG8yi4hI[/video]

And Nas is a better storyteller than Lupe, there not even close in that aspect.

Yeah Cannibus Can't make a good album to save his life..His albums lack direction and emotion too

 

[Supreme_Mind999]

Wait a fucking minute. You saying Lupe has no charisma or energy, but Nas does and Rakim???? LMAO@ this hypocrisy

Nas and rakim can lack it at times but their albums are timeless

Charisma and emotion are two different things Nas has tracks like this

Lupe is like Nas from 94-99 before he llost his mum and started being more open with his personal life.

Dude lupe can't tie nas old gym shoes..Lupe only 3 albums deep(One album is good,One is so so,One is booty juice)..Nas has multiple classics under his belt...Young people always wanna claim king without earning their proper stripes..Nas Has earned his title,lupe hasn't

Nigga, I didnt even say anything about Lupe being "king" or anything. What I said was skill wise at the moment Lupe is better. And I stand by it. Don't give me that "young people" ish. I've listened to every Nas album, IWW is one of my favorite 5 albums.

Exactly..Thats Soul rite there..Charisma and Energy can easily be expressed..That rite there you can't easily reproduce..

Cool fam stand by your cause..I'll stand firm that Nas crushes lupe lyrically,Conceptually even now...C'mon go listen to fried chicken and NIGGER off untitled..Lupe don't be making shyt like that cuzzo

 

[illogics]

Nigga said Canibus is a better MC than Nas? Ah man. What the fuck...

Canibus don't do shit but rap

 

[Supreme_Mind999]

LOL@ cannibus picking up random chemistry books and rapping the biggest words on beats..Nigga be having spelling bees on his shyt..lupe be doing that shyt sometimes too,like he just got done reading 50 manga comics and watching japanese anime..Ol pokemon rapping ass niggas..No hate

More tracks wit Lupe rapping from perspectives other than his own.

Nas is just more believable,Nas is certified..I grew up super poor on some dead roaches in the freezer shyt,pliers on the tv so I can relate to nas more..Lupe is cool but he loses me with that super nerd shyt...Theres a difference in their styles,you really can't compare them..Lupe raps from"I witnessed it" perspective,Nas raps from "I lived this shyt" perspective..Two different breeds of rhyming cuzzo

...which is an understandable criticism. I wont disagree with that.

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

Like I said, a damn good debate for once. But as of yet, Lupe does not have an album close to Nas's best album It Was Written
