It was for the bet awards fam...theres crowd reactions to the verses..and his got the least reaction...and that's cause they couldn't follow it...man I done been in enough cyphers to know...this ain't really nothin to debate about...

You are right, but it was a nice contrast of styles on display that's what I took from it.
Would it go over in most cases nah.
I just think the guy isn't really a cypher type MC, I mean shyt they stuck him in the middle.
I lost it when when Styles kicked of his verse with:
"Don't call me the ghost no more call me the Phantom"
I don't know why but that was so simple yet the effect was so devastating.
And Malcolm is dead Martin is dead, the gun is the barber let me know who want a part in their head - he went in.
To this day my son will walk around the house reciting styles verse he fukking loves that shyt.
He's talking about when BET aired it initially.

And that's the funny shyt..Lupe does have Alotta verses that can go over well in a cypher..dude can flip mad styles...that's why I was confused when he chose that verse...I mean damn fam..a verse from a old ass song?..but yea..I feel u on that styles p shyt..that type of shyt will win the crowd over EVERYTIME...shyt was simple yet MAD effective...Styles P is one of my fav rappers...

nas stole, i gave you power from OC, on extinction's stray bullet.
then in pr on some sellout shyt.
said he did not know who organized was.
when that is a lie, cause paul c was large p's main man.[plus his bm is large pro's cousin or some shyt, too, if i remember right].
that is another reason why iww was wack as fukk.
nikka,...been on bullshyt.
i guess lupe idolize'n nas....
fronting on tribe and using common's, i used to love concept for his while bullshyt artistry. the same common who is a native.
lupe takes com's whole approach for his whole career is more exposal of his toyism.
plus duke never props common, but he likes nas.
says fuxk you to tribe cause he was space age pimp'n with 8ball and mjg.
who also had an ecclectic street approach,..with futuristic oldsmobile videos.
yet i guess trying to say he likes 8ball and mjg is supposed to make him more street. when 8ball and mjg had an eclectic directuon like a southern native direction on some street shyt.
nikka is a fraud and a sellout, too.
that nikka just got on for being around boogs and 1st and 15th.
plus ain't never rocked no open mics in his life. plus i know cause boogs would try to get that nikka to kick shyt at th open mics and he ajn't wanna go.
nikka would have gotten exposed....to the umpteenth.
nikkaz need to stop praising these wack,...toys.
nikkaz getting on faking jax all day.....
the gen of toys learned that bullshyt from nas, and biting nas, exclusively.
then tried ti morph skills on some wack soread my wings shyt,..with no real cultural foundation, whatsoever.
that nikka is just lucky 1st and 15th was there and iceberg/youngberg snaked.

Does anyone know where Lupe came from?
He kinda just came out of nowhere on that Kanye track, did put any work in to get on?
It's hard to listen to the guy when I have just about every J Live album.

i am not sure if this is sarcasm or whatever.
regardless lupe is a toy. boogs is the real bboy that made it so he could go in the direction lupe did.
lupe was not a fixture on the scene and all his goof ass, back and forth, pr easily exposes this.

no duke was not on the scene at all, like that.
he is a toy who tried to get a new identity when iww came out.
he was not some underground hopeful,..he is all jayz payola by way of eclipse/boogs/1st & 15th.
he ain't work his way up for real,.......
he ain't have no records on hpk or wnur that was classics.
he wasn't even at otis's, the dragon room or none of the late shyt.
he probably could not tell you who demdare was, either.
he git knowledge from his pops.
his pops was in the martial arts scene with my c-fu,......
other than that he wasn't out bombing, emcee'n or partying or none of that shyt.
he wasn't around at the alcatraz to humble quest.
he just knows boogs and i don't even know if he even knows euphonics.

I don't recall any it's been so long now.
So he got on based on nepotism and payola gotcha.
This also explains why he's always seemed manufactured and contrived, the constant trend switching, uneasiness when in a cypher being stuck in the middle.
You know when that whole Tribe debacle happened someone should have pulled his card and asked him to kick a Spice 1 verse.
WAIT!!!
You practice Gong Fu Art???
