GZA. his lyricism was not at the expense of the song. lupe is great to listen to as a freestyle or song he spit for a specific reason, but as for albums, im not trying to hear whole lupe albums. i am trying to hear whole GZA albums

Why can’t he? He made Testsuo and the Fahrenheit series. He’s touched subjects that deck has on that album. He’s proven he can. Can GZA do what Lupe did on Tetsuo? If you think so prove it.

If you didn’t listen to the album nor listened to enough of both I don’t think you’re qualified to even speak on or compare the two.

I listened to every trash project y'all nikkas post from that weirdo on here. None is close to as good as Liquid Swords and you claiming otherwise is just proving my point.

And I'm all the way in bama, so I could be wrong him being around the hustlers like that :russ:

I feel like he's mentioned them before but I can't think of what song it would've been

Yea that’s out west, not all that far from where the bulls play ~10 blocks and 4CH stronghold is out that way in Garfield park

You’re not disproving anything I said nor proving what you said lol

You’re just being dismissive and being extra with the insults

Stylistically couldn't be more different

GZA the epitome of precision, economy, no wasted bars

Lupe a hyper technical lyrical miracle with super dense bars type

So it come down to preference, what you look for in lyricism and end product

I put Lupe in the same category as dudes like Eminem and Canibus, can't knock the objective talent or technical skills but I'm not connecting with their a lot of their shyt. I ain't sitting here itching to run back Lupe's albums :yeshrug:

Lupe isn't like Eminem at all.

Forreal breh. I don't see how one can be objective and like one but hate the other :russ:

One of my least favorite things about most rap discussion. People just wanna big up their favorites and dunk on everybody else
it is odd. The only thing is that lupe sometimes can do too much, where its borderlines on being corny, but its not very often(to me). GZA is more efficient

Idk what insults you're referring to.

Also, I'm being dismissive because nikkas ain't dismissive enough when people say straight up retarded shyt. Would you try to have an intelligent conversation with someone who thinks the week's old rotten trash that built up on the corner in 90 degree weather smells beautiful or are you gonna dismiss him and call him a weirdo? Y'all nikkas that's claiming that Lupe is better than GZA in here is the nikka who thinks the week's old rotten trash that built up on the corner in 90 degree weather smells beautiful.
