		<description>Lupe Fiasco

HANDS DOWN……Underated and Highly rated AT THE VERY SAME TIME!!!!!

He is a Lightheavy Weight waiting to step up a weight class.

He is a Lightheavy Weight for TWO MAINS REASONS ALONE….

NOW I CAN TYPE ALL THIS ON HERE KNOWNING FULLY WELL THAT JD AND THE REST OF DEM HEADZ WONT READ THIS OR EVEN IF THEY DO THEY WONT COMMENT ON IT….MAINLY BECAUSE JD DOESN’T SEEM TO RESPECT:

(1) GOOD LYRICAL HONESTY….
(2) DOPE LYRICAL RHYMES…AND
(3) DOPE LYRICAL CONCEPT RECORDS

IF YOU (JD….) DID THEN….AN ARTIST LIKE LUPE FIASCO WOULD BE THE ONE OF THE FIRST NAMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH WHEN TALKING ABOUT GOOD HIP HOP MUSIC.

CASE IN POINT:

(1) FROM Lupe Fiasco’s Food &amp; Liquor:

a. He Say She Say
b. The Cool
c. Hurt Me Soul
d. Kick Push
e. American Terrorist
f. The Emperor’s Soundtrack
g. Daydreamin [feat. Jill Scott]
h. Pressure [feat. Jay-Z]

(Just to name a few)

d. Streets On Fire
e. Intruder Alert [feat. Sarah Green]
f. Dumb It Down [feat. Gemstones &amp; Graham Burris]
g. Little Weapon [feat. Bishop G &amp; Nikki Jean]
h. The Die [feat. Gemstones]

ohhhhhh and (in my best DJ Clue voice) “Do Remember…”:

Hov, Jay-Z, Jigga, Sean Carter……….Executive Produced Lupe’s Debut….Ahh who cares….JD Doesnt!!!!!!!!

ohhhhhh and (in my best DJ Clue voice) “Do Remember…”:

Hes 1/3 of CRS a group whos other members incluse Kanye West &amp; Pharrell Williams.

ohhhhhh and (in my best DJ Clue voice) “Do Remember…”:

In an interview with ‘Blender’ magazine Hov said the following:

“…..I love Lupe. He’s a genius writer. In his approach to making music and the depth of his lyrics, the guy is incredibly smart. I’m sure he goes over people’s heads, but I love him for that.”

(Sorry about the caps lock typing……again)

I WILL GO OUT ON THE LIM AND SAY THAT JD &amp; THE REST OF DEM PROBABLY HATE LUPE, NOT ONLY THAT THEY WILL WITHOUT A DOUBT TAKE THE PISS OUT OF HIM……SHAME REALLY BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM AND AFRICAN AMERICAN WHO PROBABLY HAS NEVER BEEN TO THE MOTHERLAND HA! (OFF TOPIC SHOT…)

Lupe Fiasso is the Truth……FUCK THE SALES…WHAT THE FUCK ABOUT THE MUSIC.

LETS BE HONEST Lupe would SHIT on Q Da Kid……..

		<description>See Jay Gets Busy that&#039;s how people start shit smh lmao. Look bruh, I don&#039;t give a fuck about the next rapper&#039;s numbers. I wanna keep up with who got the talent and who doesn&#039;t. Jay-z is relevant because of his legend, as is Eminem, but one could argue they have fallen off heavily from their hey days.</description>

		<description>I dont understand how its possbile to get pissed off at someone who write comments on blogs...but dammit it happened to me! Yo I just went on the long ass rant about how not to use irrelevant MC&#039;s in this conversation, then stupid ass #21 goes and does it anyway!!

Again, no disrepect to the artists...but no one is looking at a fucking IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE, CROOKED I, ROYCE DA 5&#039;9&quot;, TERMANOLODY (seriously...what the fuck), even the GREAT KRS-ONE...nobody is checking for these dudes...get with it ppl! Call me a hater or whatever you want...but you know this shit is true...how many of yall are rushing to the store (or even consider downloading) an Immortal Technique album??? But at the same time...how many of yall are already predicting what numbers Jay is gonna do when he drops BP3??

		<description>Interesting cocept. But I think weightclasses should be comparable to skill level period. Not business unless you work in the business and you&#039;re getting paid. Why should those numbers matter to you? Anyway, some names apear twice, because of the fickle nature of said artist&#039;s performances:

HW:Jay, Eminem, Immortal Technique, Lupe, NAS, Royce, Crooked I, 

LHW: KRS(kinda fell off due to age ;)) Ludacris, Dead Prez, TErmanology, Jadakiss

MW:TI, Kanye, Kid Cudi, BOB, Lil Wayne, 50 cent,Drake, Rick Ross(based on most recent album), Asher Roth, Wale

LW:Nelly, Fabolus, Asher Roth

Featherweight: Souljaboy, Gucci Mane, OJ da Juiceman, Plies, Jeezy, Shawty Lo, Dj Khaled</description>

		<description>Yo no disrepect, but I hate it when people say shit like #9 says...dont&#039; get me wrong, I am all about lyrical content, but niggas like Dead Prez and the Clipse are irrelevant in this conversation. If you understand the business of Music...you will realize that BUSINESS wise...these dudes dont have what it takes...they can probably outrap some of your favorite rappers, but they will NEVER be considered some of the G.O.A.T. in hip hop. No one is looking to Dead Prez and saying, &quot;oh i gotta get on their level&quot;....they&#039;re probably saying &quot;who the hell are they&quot;. 

Lets try to keep it in the context of the conversation. As far as heavyweights...Top five
Kanye
Jay
Lil Wayne
Nas 
Eminem

1.) Kanye got the whole fucking world wearing tight shit and still considered fly...plus whether u wanna except it or not...he&#039;s lyrical and he&#039;s outselling everyone

2.)Jay is in a league of his own...no explaination needed

3.) Lil wayne is still having the entire music industry on his nuts (pause) and wanting him on a record...Dolly Parton wants to do a record with this nigga..lol

4.) Nas is in the top 3 greatest lyricists of all time...now that Obama is in office...everyone seems to want Nas on a record, when just a few years ago...everyone hated him when he dropped HHID

5.) Eminem can eat 95% of the industry and you know he&#039;s gonna do big numbers when he drops..not a milli in the first week...but close...I&#039;d say in the range of 750k - 900k

Hate it or love it...this shit is Gospel!</description>
