"Life After Death is the greatest rap album ever" - Lupe Fiasco (And Royce)

[Waldo Geraldo Faldo]

I don’t know about ever.

But Life after Death is the best double disc hip-hop/rap album.

 

[Edub]

Nah, it’s just nikkas don’t listen to it for a while, they go back then get hyped .....but honestly ready to die is better

 

[Long Live The Kane]

There was no girl song, pop song, street song, introspective song, regional song approach to making albums before LAD...

None!

Which makes it that much more surprising Lupe would pick it as the singularly greatest album ever... unless he was making some kinda meta argument about it being the template for the contemporary mainstream rap album format...I didn't actually watch the clip lol

 

[CHICAGO]

gonna give slight edge to Pac's all eyez

1. Ambitions as a Ridah
2. 2 of Amerikkas Most Wanted
3. California Love

RTD & AEOM >>>>

 

[MJ Truth]

He was...at least he said he was. Something probably happened behind the scenes...or maybe he just doesn't think Nas is that nice anymore

More likely the former. Nas probably ignored a DM from Lupe or something.

[Insensitive]

That album is insane man, the production values are fukking NUTS.
Looking back ?
Definitely a top 10 Hip-Hop album.
NO QUESTION.

I didn't listen to the whole thing but it wouldn't surprise me.. Lupe isn't that impressed by Nas...at least judging by a few of the podcast episodes. They talked about Nas's 1st verse on "NYSOM" being named the most perfect verse ever and Lupe was like ", no it's not". He threw a little shot on another episode too when discussing the best ever, him and Royce both said Jay-z by far

I've been saying that Royce and Lu think Jay-Z is one of the G.O.A.T. rappers of all time.


I haven't listened to the podcast yet but anyone who paid attention to various interviews, flows these dudes use
rhyme structure etc. knows who fukks with who more.

Lupe and Royce come off like people who you'll get annoyed by after a while because of the things they say.

Like, eventually, they'll say something that makes you go and wonder why you're still listening to them.
