@Jigga, 50 isn’t a lyricist, so stop with that. I agree with Lupe, dude is a lyrical monster, but he shouldve said Em and Andre 3 stacks.

Lupe is arrogant for no reason…

(A) his albums are ok
(B) he praises other rappers
(C) he’s ok , but realistically let’s be clear – he ain’t that nice.

Lupe is a fantastic poet, he puts alot of thought and meaning into his words, Lil wayne is a fantastic rapper who fills his songs with clever words that relate to eachother in more than one way, and changes topics with every line so mix lupe and wayne together and mix in a bit of trailer trash talk and you have eminem, he can put words together like no one else can, he is the greatest rapper of all time even better than jay, biggie is the greatest story teller of all time, and tupac is the greatest poet of all time, they cant be compared on the same level, it would be like comparing Jordan,pele,and tiger woods, you cant compare them just because they all play ball, each one is the greatest at what they’ve done and do.

Thats what I think.
And by the way….50 is finished, wayne should take a break, and drake is going to save hip hop…Kanye will will perform the operation but drake will supply the organs…and diddy can supervise as always but 50,wayne,and the rest will have to sit in the waiting room…FOREVER MAN…IT MAY NOT MEAN NOTHING TO YALL…BUT UNDERSATND NOTHING WAS….
damn negro!!! Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
lupe would murder all them nigga’s except em. Only because it’s lyrically impossible they would be at a standstill, bt lu would say some shit that would go over 90% of you nigga’s heads and you would say he’s wack. God im so glad ignorant nigga’s dont understand lyricists stick to wayne & gucci mane, and for the realtalk staff yall need to go back and listen to the lupe mixtape’s a couple times , maybe then you nigga’s wouldn’t post this dumb coon music!!!
ARE YOU CRAZY? Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Lupe Fiasco is the best rapper alive. Point blank period. Lyrically, he was being modest, cause LYRICALLY, he kills everybody, I’ll let the Food & Liquor and The Cool, speak for itself if I was him.
dboi Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
hahaha lupe cant ride a beat like how e4m was the nicest on that forever track but he didnt ride the beat comes from writing more then freestyling both lyrically at the top but wwell not very coordinated anybody who is no fan just a onllooker would agree ive heard all lupes shit i get the double entrende whatevers everthing hes not smooth Drake rides the beat better then wayne better then jay-z jay-z rides the shit outta beat hes nicer then drake but doesnt ride the beat as well gucci sucks but he can ride a berat wayne is clever and wittyand rides beats well also nas is clumsy somtimes but excellent poet andre 3000 rides the beat so uniquely i love it but he rides it well
Marco Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Lupe lyrically murks all of these dudes. best rapper alive. Lupe has rhymes, punchlines, and metaphors that go over most peoples heads…you gotta listen to a Lupe song at least 3 times to catch all of the shit he says…can we say the same for Wayne? hell no! Wayne punchlines/metaphors are so simple they just jump out at you. Lupe would end Wayne’s career, if he so pleased…Farenheit 1/15 part 6 coming Nov 25! lets see whos talking then. bet it shits on No Ceilings…

November 9th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
First of all he ain’t say 3stacks, Nas, or Jada cuz they weren’t on the list of hottest mc. He said those on the list, he got them covered. cuz he knows his lyrics would shit on them. Out of all the candidates he kno Em is the only considered that he knows “okay I KNO I’m not on his level.” Lupe>>>>Raekwon, 50, i like Fab n jeezy but, Wayne, Jay-Z, Ross, Drake, Gucci, n Kanye. I consider Lupe in my top of all time. along wit Em n 3stacks, also Cass.
YOooo Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
i cant say im an em fan but lupe is a problem all you none believers will see when his new album drops and the reason why people dont agree because theyre 2nd grade brains cant comprehend complex lyricism and to the dude who said he cant compete with 50 cent i hope youre in the 7th grade or something LUPE GONNA BE THE FIRST RAPPER TO GO MULTI PLATINUM WITHOUT SELLING OUT OR DUMBING IT DOWN

CityBoii Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
if they had a real face to face battle lupe would murk alot of niggaz easy
but everyone knows some of ya fav rappers wouldnt even agree to compete because they would get embarrassed
Wayne gucci sb 50 and many others would look stupid which is why they would never agree to a real live battle
they just be on that back and forth shit
Lupe is a beast end of story if you have to question his skills then you need to find another genre to comment on because clearly you dont know shit about hip hop
Alot of these niggaz CANT go bar for bar they not made for this
noelle sucks a lotta dick Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 4:11 pm

November 9th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
em’s the best rapper alive…true definition of ur favourite rapper’s favourite rapper… Jay-z’s overated( he’s had classic albums, he has money and hes married to beyonce but as far as rap skills i think jay-z’z a bit overated) anyways aint nobody alive fuckin with eminem on the mic.
Queixada Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Lupe doesn’t self-promote or drop 100 trash-bound mixtapes hoping that if enough shit is thrown some will stick. And Lupe can’t sell because niggas can’t afford hooked on phonics. If you had higher IQ than Wayne’s jumpoffs you’d know that you niggas are paying him all that money to come up with new fascinating (not) ways to say “BITCHES SUCK MY DICK” and “YOU LAMES ARE PAYING ME TO BE HIGH AND ON SYRUP”. Granted, 20+ mixtapes and albums worth of saying those phrases in millions of different ways is to be commended. But he however does not deserve the title of the Greatest off of that.
Da Business Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
As far as emcee’s that came out in this decade….Lupe is in a league of his own. i don’t think

anyone in their 20’s can compete with him lyrically.

“anyone in their 20’s can compete with him lyrically.”

he is at the minimum, the best rapper under 30.

i can agree with that. lupe is insane. i do not think any rapper in their 20’s can mess with lupe. btw, when lupe can out, the media either said he was the “new nas” or “new jay z”
E From BK Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Yall amaze me, THIS guy is THE best? Are you serious. More than likely he is referring to that song because there is NO WAY he is better than Nas, Andre 3000, Masta Ace, KRS One, Ice Cube, Joel Ortiz, Royce and quite a few others that are nicer than duke. Taking nothing from Lupe, but he’s not at the top of the upper tier. Sorry.
damn negro!!! Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Banks is nice bt aint fuckin with lu ,wayne? lmfao nigga’s is silly, so mos def dont sell either doe’s that make him still not one of the greatest? fuck outta here i fear what this generation has come to. If lupe and mos def music was in the 60’s or 70’s when black ppl had some sense things would be alot different and wayne will NEVER be on lupe’s level lyrically ever!! so shut up go read a book. Real black ppl saying fuck the streets we gonna have to save this country when you dumb fucks are done with it. Wtf happened to all this change that was suppose to happen?
smh at you nigga's Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 6:43 pm

If yall niggas aint listened to shit like “Say Something”, “Lu Myself”, “Twilight Zone”, “Failure”, etc. then there’s really no point to argue. Wayne puts the most blatant shit together for ya so you dont have to think. EX: “Im hot like light….” Really tho? Ending here cuz this shit can seriously go all day

The easiest way is to hear Jay say…when he called Lupe the best lyricist out…even better than himself…and this was even before Food n Liquor dropped…i completely agree with this statement…Eminem is the only one who can lyrically stand toe to toe with Lupe…and maybe Andre

Theres not too many rappers below 30 that can see Lupe on the mic but he said he got everyone else besides emeniem covered. Well in my opinion he got some competition.

Talib Kweli
Mos Def
Andre 3000
Raekwon
Ghostface
AZ
Nas
Jay Z (When he actually feels like it he can rap circles around some of the best, dnt get it twisted. Listen to Venus vs Mars and tell me that wasnt some of Jays most brilliant lyricism)
blue Says:
November 9th, 2009 at 9:47 pm

yall change opinions like i change my socks , Lupe is the best lyricist now ? lol

Big up to Lupe for giving props up to another Mc over himself, not many would do that……..

….but, Cmon son, i could name 15 better Mcs right now

i could even name MCs who havent made any noise in a long time, and they still better than Lupe

who give a shit about a grammy, this is hiphop, not pop music

you are talking to people who grew up with nas and wu tang and jay and biggie and pac and andre3000 and kurupt and ice cube and jeru da damaja and mobb deep………..so you better come with something better than daydreaming to support your argument

so, why dont YOU STOP THE NON SENSE and stop callin people haters just cos they have a different opinion

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What was dumb about what I said????

All I said was he is the best Emcee to come out this decade. U can’t compare him to the greats

of the ’90’s…All I’m saying is as far as emcee’s are concern that came out in this

decade….Lupe is in a league of his own. i don’t think

anyone under 30 can compete with him lyrically. Off the top of my head the only other dude

that I can think of that can compete with him FROM THIS DECADE is Joell Ortiz. And he still

has some hurdles to jump to catch him.

Lupe is just so ahead of his time. He’s like a 3stacks, Nas, and Jay rolled up in one.

@ 2-7 All Day

^^^^^^^

Okay dude I’m not trying to beef w/u. We both agree that Lu is the shit. From my p.o.v. I feel it’s to early to put him up there so high w/ a Nas, Em, 3 Stacks or even a Jay. He’s still a baby in this game. All I’m saying is give him some time to grow his legacy. We’re already sold on his skills, but the general public isn’t. Yeah I feel when it’s all said and done he has the potential to be the GOAT. But that’s in due time.

I’m w/u on the fact the Lupe is the best right now, but u can’t compare FNL & The Cool to Em’s, Nas’, Outkast’s, and even Jay’s catalog…u can’t.

U being a Fiasco fan says to me that ur a hip hop head.

So when i say Jay u can’t front and say that he’s not in the elite class of emcees. Lupe will tell u himself that Jay was his BIGGEST influence as an emcee. And Nas’ “It Was Written” was his favorite lp.

So he has the wit and word play of Jay
The lyricism of Nas
And the conciseness of 3000

I THINK THEY R IN THE BUSINESS TO FOLLOW THE BLUEPRINT. AND THAT IS TO MAKE MONEY OUTTA LYRICS. EM IS GOOD BUT IF A BLACK RAPPER WAS SPITTIN LIKE THAT , YAWWUD SAY HE’S CORNY. EM CAN GET INTROSPECTIVE AND WEIRD AND THE WHITE FOLKS WILL STILL BUY HIS SHIT. LET US DO TO MUCH OF THAT AND IT WILL BE BORING N WONT GET RADIO PLAY. EM DOESNT REALLY HAVE TO GET PLAY ON URBAN RADIO TO SELL RECORDS BUT MOST BLACK RAPPERS DO. SO EM CAN SAY HIS CORNY WINEY VOICE CHANGING SILLY WHITE BOYS SHIT FOR THEM AND THEN STEP OUT THE BOX AND DO SOMETHING ON THIS SIDE AND MAKE PEEPS SAY WOO. MOST BLACK RAPPERS WHO R SUCCESSFUL REALIZE THEY HAVE TO DUMB IT DOWN. SOME PEOPLE SAY THIS IS SELLING OUT, BUT WHO CARES. AS LONG AS IT KEEPS CASH REGISTERS RINGING AND BDS GOING. LUPE HASNT REALIZED THAT YET.HE IS STILL YOUNG, YET LYRICAL BUT SHOULD A WAY TO DO MULTIPLE STYLES OF RAP. WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ONE DIMENSIONAL IN HIP HOP?

Lupe’s dope,but what im sick of hearin’ is Andre 3000! 3 stacks is talented but he wouldnt be rappin’ if it wasn’t for Big Boi. So say Outkast not just Andre 3000!

HAHAHA

Niggas can’t fuck with Lupe lyrically. Only real Lupe fans know this. The average rap fan don’t understand none of his shit. It just goes WAAAAAAY over ya heads!

Best rapper alive, yeah I side it niggah!!

Who said outkast was jus 3stacks? looks like folks are jus acknowledging 3stacks spits some serious sh!t! Every group has someone most people gravitate too and it happens to be 3 stacks in Outkast even though Big Boi has stepped up very well over the years!

Go listen to “Failure” and tell me that ain’t one of the best tracks ever recorded, lyrically.

Every fucking bar is a metaphor or simile. Niggas AIN’T seeing Lupe, I’m telling YOU!

All yall praising Lupe, but MOST of you don’t buy his music. That tells me that yall don’t like himvall that much. I actually bought his first joint off the strength of a mixtape. I don’t like that album and I got bored with it real quick. He may say some fly shit every now and again, but it takes more than that to be elite. I’m sorry, but duke is not elite. KRS is elite, Jay Z is elite, Ludacris is elite, Nas is elite. There are quite a few others who are elite. Yall wanna really hear some shit, you should check the Keith Murray & Canibus EP OR check out the Masta Ace & Edo G album. Those joints will show you ill lyricism without boring you.

BLACK THOUGHT IS BETTER THAN LUPE, HOV HAS OUTSHNINED N LASTED KRS 1, RAKIM, KOOL G, BIG L, AND BIG. LUPE IS GREAT BUT HAS NEVER DONE THAT. “TRUTHFULLY I WANNA RIME LIKE COMMON SENSE BUT I DID 5 MILL AND I AINT BEEN RIMING LIKE COMMON SENSE..” EM IS THE ONLY MC WHO CAN DO THIS AND BE SUCCESSFUL. LOOK AT ALL THE INTROSPECTIVE MCS’ CAREERS. THEY HAVE NEVER REACHED GREAT SUCCESS: TALIB, MOS DEF, BLACK THOUGHT, COMMON( A LITTLE) NAS AND THE LIST GOES ON. LUPE TRIES TOO HARD AND SUFFERED FOR TRYNA BE SUMTHING HE ISNT, A SKATEBOARDER. YAW REMEMBER HIS KICK PUSH RECORD AND ALL THE FLACK HE GOT FROM THE SKATEBOARD COMMUNITY. HIP HOP IS A WAY OF LIFE AND WE ARE ALL NOT THE SAME AGE NOR DO WE LIVE THE SAME WAY. IF I TRICK BITCHES LIKE LUKE THAT’S MY WAY OF LIFE AND MY HIP HOP, IF I TRAP LIKE JEEZY THAT MY WAY OF LIFE AND MY HIP HOP, AND WHEN I WAS 16 AND NEVER SOLD A DRUG, THAT WAS MY WAY OF LIFE AND MY HIP HOP HENCE THE SONG SUPERMAN THAT HOE. WE GOTTA STOP DISCREDITING EACH OTHERS LIVES AS BLACKS AND HIP HOP ARTIST. EACH PERSON HAS A CORE AUDIENCE THAT CAN RELATE TO WHAT THEY ARE GOIN THROUGH. ITS THE HONESTY, THAT MAKES THEM GOOD. LUPE WAS NOT BEING HONEST WITH KICK PUSH, HE WAS FRAUDING AND ATTEMPTING TO FIT IN AND APPEAL TO A CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC OF PEOPLE. SO NO THAT’S NOT HIP HOP, IT’S RAP. RAP IS SOMETHING YOU DO AND HIP HOP IS SOMETHING U LIVE WITH INTENTIONS OF BEING HONEST. AND IN THE LATE ‘90 SOME LIKED NAS BECAUSE HE WAS THOUGHT TO BE A WHOLESOME, CONSCIOUS, NON MISOGYNISTIC RAPPER AND JAY WAS THOUGHT OF AS BEING IGNORANT BRAGEDOCIOUS, MISOGYNISTIC, AND MISLEADING. IN 2010 WE HAVE FOUND OUT THAT NAS IS A MISOGYNIST, AN ADULTERER, A DRUG ADDICT A WOMAN BEATER AND IN TOTAL CONTRADICTION OF HIS FAKE IMAGE. ASK CARMEN AND KELIS. THIS IS NOT HATE, JUST AN OBSERVATION. I LIKE NAS BUT HE IS NOT THE BEST. A GOOD MC CAN BE CONSCIOUS, WITTY, FREESTYLE, MAKE YOU DANCE, HAS GOOD SHOWMANSHIP AND MAKE CASH REGISTERS RING WHILE BEING HONEST.

I agree w/ some of the points u made on ur comment, but ur off on the Lupe thing.

“Kick, Push” was just a story that he put together that happen to be about stake boarding.

He NEVER said that he was Tony Hawk or anyone big in that sport. If anything he was paying

homage to the culture of staking. A lot of ppl got it twisted when he came out w/ that record.

If u notice b4 and after that record skating was never brought up.

@LAseRs

You are probably correct, no need for a conversation, however, I’m not sure why you don’t think Luda wouldn’t be elite. Hold up…..I have an idea on why you WOULD say that. It’s more than likely because you only really know of him through the radio joints and things like that. I doubt if you ever really got into the dude’s music on a whole. Luda lyrically and stylistically is FAR BEYOND the radio joints you hear.

#100 u make a very interesting point but who’s to say if a
black rapper(with skills color doesn’t matter at the end of the day it’s all about skills)came out n was talking that wild shit it wouldn’t sell it’s cuz close minded people like you record labels r scared to take risk but I think it is possible n the future of rap depends on rappers ability to expand the genre n acts like kanye Lupe kid cudi show this growth it’s 2009 there’s ablack prez n I think people especially black peopl r sick of generilization y just cuz I’m this color I gotta aft a certain way fuck that if u do this Ima do that n that’s y the rockstar shyt is so popular then the skinny jeans etc if hip hop wNts to survive there better b some acts that tLk about more then tube same shit that’s. Been said 20x b4 n 100x better

@ everybody lupe is better then wayne drake andre and nebody else u can name even nas sed lupe was better than him!!!! like max b sed its not quantity its quality and lupe is that. he wont come out with bullshyt mixtapes andbasically say the same message on each song lupe will take a whole year off and then drop good fucking positve quality music and he has prob the best two hiphop producers on his side kanye and pharell along with his own two producer that made kick push and other hits for him. how can u say kanye is not hiphop also wen kanye is basically keeping rap alive poke her face was straight hiphop and thats after his 808 bs that im sure u niggas listen to while smoking a l pharell evrytime hes on his hiphop shyt its a rap hes the greatest prducer of all time and the most expensive out there becuz he can bring u the commercial feel to your song and still keep it hip hop but back to the original argument yall need to listen lupe very carefully before u judge his music and listen to his interviews about his music he explains the three characters he tells stories about im out
jaedi Says:
November 11th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Ok here’s the deal i feel Lupe can touch the greats if you’ve listened to this and any of his albums then you know what hes about and if u didn’t understand the albums then i suggest you hit the books but i’m no dick riding fan i love music period but as of the last year i feel that hip-hop is truly dead well not dead but split into a few new sub genres Lil Wayne is undeniably the king of rapping about nothing and finding creative ways of delivering nothing the older rap heads can feel me on that Wayne has built up such a fan base since the drought mixtapes that he secured his position in the now defunct hip hop as a hard hitter and ill admit i like some of his verses but there’s no real depth to what he speaks lupe on the other hand is a lyrical animal and for those who cant see that i suggest you get your eyes checked Lupe for the win

Lupe is a bitch. I liked that nigga till he said he was’nt gonna vote for obama, after that I knew that he was a punk. I like some of his old mix tape shit, but ya’ll should never put him in no best rapper nothin. Thats like sayin qtip or some nigga like that, is the best. I dont really fuck with that nigga. He’s a good rapper just not in the top nothin, ya dig.
Doctaknoccs Says:
November 12th, 2009 at 4:21 am
And lupe is no where close to andre 3000, you can spit metaphore’s and all that bulshit, but lupe copied andre 3000 with all this new shit he’s doin, dancin and shit. Andre 3000 is better than that nigga, thats why ya’ll put them in the same conversation, cause lupe got some of his swag from that nigga.

Lupe is cool and all with the lyrics, but shit he doesn’t have no swag whatsoever. His so-called swag is not even hip-hop. Lupe needs to be cocky and confident in order to get full respect in the rap game. If you look at the history of rap, all the best MCs were cocky den a mothafucka. I mean if he wants the crown he better grab dat shit instead of just making false claims and shit. When weezy claimed best rapper alive nearly everyone agreed because of the way he did dat shit. At that time no rapper was near weezy lyrically nor swagger-wise( if thats a word) Lol! By the way i don’t think Lupe can touch Weezy, he got Drake and Kanye covred though.
Big Jun Says:
November 12th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
I “LIKE” Lupe he’s got lyrics his voice leaves something to be desired though and often times he doesnt have that MC PRESENCE on the mic but he’s definitley a good artist HOWEVER,,,,,,,,,
Here is the LONG LIST of cats that Lupe is NOT better than starting with the obvious:

NaS: C’mon now I dont even have to argue this one
Eminem: This Also goes without saying
Jay Z: Let’s not go there, Jay is a pop artist I know but lemme hear American Gang from Lupe
Common: Com is nothing short of a beast for the last 15yrs despite his propensity to go left
Mos Def: Yes I know I know Mos be droppin weirdness lately but still betta then Lupe.
And those are the cats that Lupe cant destroy yet on the mic

P.S. Oh and let’s not forget that #1 Draft picks comin out the underground can you honestly say that Lupe is betta than these cats too?

Jay Electronica: Who has taken the mojo from ILLMATIC and transformed it into sumthin illl
Royce da 5′9: This dude is like a terrorist on the mic unabashed lyricism and energy
Joe Buddens: Love him or hate him if you got Mood Muzic you know what i’m talkin about..

November 13th, 2009 at 2:26 am
wayne been dumbed his shit down since Carter 1, he even said he was gonna do it after that cd cuz people aint get the shit he was sayin. the nigga don’t try no more….”i adjust in different climates, duccin the animals keep on runnin with my primapes/ you aint get it till you done it like in five states, weezy hustle no blubber i put on weight/ and in the drought i go on a diet and stretch more, lose all that weight leave a nigga with stretch marks/… all that was about hustling, descriptive as hell but can sound like bullshit if you don’t listen…i aint sayin he better than lupe cuz lupe is a lyrical monster just don’t downplay wayne he got some shit he just dumbed it down to get his cash.

Lupe is arrogant for no reason…

(A) his albums are ok
(B) he praises other rappers
(C) he’s ok , but realistically let’s be clear – he ain’t that nice.

Lupe is one of the top 3 lyricists out there and he talks about REAL SHIT. His albums are okay??? If you can listen to The Cool and honestly think that the Carter 3 deserved a Grammy more you are really an ignorant and unintelligent person. His album had a real theme about real shit. He is talking about worldwide issues while Wayne and the rest of mainstream raps about how much money and hoes they are gettin. No one cares about that shit! And what is wrong with giving respect to other rappers? Thats like not telling someone they played well after a basketball game. Lupe is one of the DEEPEST RAPPERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. You all need to respect him.
