Let's Talk Honestly About The Current Rap Game vs. Lupe Fiasco The One Man Army!

[Prince.Skeletor]

Lamborghini Angels, was just listening to this & around my way as well

Listen, we all know Lupe got mad lyrics and flow
He dominates those two realms without question

So with that in mind it's so sad that we can forget lyrics and flow compared to other artists, they can't even compete with him on content and content diversity.
Which SHOULD be a basic criteria for someone in the creative domain.

Not ONLY because they don't have content but because they NEVER DO!!!!

What does that say about the rap game
It's become a mass produced product where slaves live like millionaires then are mad broke and IRS sends them to jail.

Sure not everyone is a slave, but everyone almost sure damn is a clone of one another.

Sure respect to artists like Nas and Mos Def


But dammmmnnn...

[the rhyme king]

lupe fiasco going against the system

 

[Ashtrey]

Lupe need to cut those dreads off... Lookin' like Sideshow Bob

But he still my top 5 right now.

 

[Fmju]

Inb4 lasers

His next album should be based off the singles out so far

 

[ChemicalBk]

He not the best lyricist right now..

 

[Patriarch]

Its sad how badly around my way was slept on. Lamborghini Angels is amazing.

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

He not the best lyricist right now..

then who is?

 

[Harry B]

He has not been a top 5 lyricist since 2007 and hasn't been a top flower ever.
Hopefully he's back on his shyt, lamborghini angels had a cool concept but the song was just slightly above average.

I listen to music, emceeing, you can't thrive at one factor. If that was the case people would be saying that waka flocka was goat cause his energy at one point was unmatched.

not sure you know what lyrics are, but Lu's lyrics never slipped and the flow always been emaculate. what has changed is the estrogen levels in listeners.

 

[SafeForWork]

You are not sure, well I know for a fact that you don't have a clue.
If you can't tell the lyrical difference difference between The Cool and Lasers.

One of the best songs from the last album and it sounds like something B.O.B. could do.


Note that Lupe is in my top 3 of "new" rappers, but in 2012 he's not even top 10.
I hope that he comes back like Nas did from Nastradamus but reality is reality and until that day

but you ignore "Break the Chain" from the same album.

Chain broke, you ain’t make a rep for your chain smoke
No cigarrettes on my plane, yo
Snatchin herringbones from the game throat
Put it on mine, take a long time
B-A-Barackas is how I’m lookin online
In a webisode, necklace glow, let ‘em know
That I put up the footage that I’ve taken your shine
Wanna see the real chains look in your mind
Your brain look like your lil wayne brotha
Overgrow, overload, broken zone
N-ggas playing games in the hood they got you sucka
Playa think its cool to be a pimp still
We gon’ set it free like a fish in a heel
Take this home, rearrange it, change it
Danger, Sway-zer, Lupe Laser. Pow!


nicca was flowin and 'lyrical' but like I said, estrogen levels

 

[KingOFKings]

Lupe is slept on in hip hop circles, it's a shame.

 

[Mask and Da Glock]

i get what you're saying but....nah, he's a rapper and a lyricist for sure and all respect for that but do we forget tribe? de la? pharcyde? delivery and entertainment value is just as important in my opinion if not more. you can be a lyrical miracle spiritual rapper but if you cant Move the Crowd what is it? Things are looking up with people like TDE, they're a perfect blend.
