GZA is an actual intellect that just grew up in the hood around hood n1ggaz. Lupe is a fake intellect. A smart dummy if u will. Lupe just attracts suburban nerds for some reason.
Lupe grew up in the hood too :dahell:

Grew up around gd's, Moe's, Latin kings, lords, and hustlers

Crackhouse was literally next door in the housing project he lived in :snoop:

His father was a black panther that lived on the west side of Chicago. He taught him street smarts as well as book smarts

Also, Lupe was in the academic decathlon and is currently a traveling instructor, but he's a fake intellectual :heh:

Just admit you don't know anything about him a keep it pushing :camby:

All facts!

Honestly they’re both damn near the same person lol

Lupe is literally teaching courses at MIT. GZA has given lessons at universities.

Like I said earlier people bias is showing and most of them never listened to both or follow GZA and Lupe to actually discuss their lyricism

This is a great description…GZA doesn’t add any fluff or unnecessary Multis to sound lyrical

LS alone is better than lupe’s entire career
yeah shyt like this is what i mean lol

GZA and Lupe are some of my favorite artists. I grew up stacking Wu-Tang albums before anything else. You can tell folks ain't even serious when we comparing two great individuals, but it has to be lined up with disrespect to paint the picture.

I don’t mean Any disrespect but LS is still better than anything in lupes catalog. It’s better than anything in just about everyone’s catalogue.

Put You On Game was a showcase and that was 2007 lol

There was 100% a time when GZA was a better lyricist than the field. It hasn't been that way for a while though.

reading this thread got my head hurting fr rap dialogue is just goofy :mjlol: about to go back to watching the pistons and raptors embarrass each other instead

i always knew lupe was a top lyricist early on, but after Mural I stopped taking a lot of the "but so&so is actually better than Lupe" convos serious
Word, these fools are buggin

And not rain like, rain man or rain like rain dance
Or rain like a slight chance of rain when it's raining
Or rein like deer slaves to santa claus sleigh man
But reign like queens that reign over made man
And not queen like queen killer, rhapsody bohemian queen
But queen like white glove wave hand
And not wave hand like it's a heat wave
So you make a fan by waving your hand
I'm talking wave like you saying "hey"
Man, and not hay for horses and hoarse like you almost voiceless

That's the pinnacle of lyricism right there

:mjlol:
