Saw Lupe in concert he all but said he ghostwrites for your favorite rapper, and it dont even matter who your favorite rapper is.

Didn’t mention Nas. Hov wins again!

"Cause it’s a classic. Like, people study-you study the masters, you know what I’m saying? Everybody that’s rapping studied someone to learn how to rap. They had a rapper who was they favorite rapper that they wanted to be like and wanted to rap like, know what I’m saying? For me, I just look at it like I studied a master piece. I modeled my album after a master piece; and not song for song; not line for line; not beat for beat. It was more-for me it was like mood for mood. The way he set the mood on that album to me was just like incredible. And at the time in my life-like, I fell in love with ‘It Was Written’ when I was seventeen, eighteen-a very impressionable time-so I was like I love that album. That’s my favorite Hip Hop album, so it’s like why not base your album on ‘It Was Written’?" - Lupe Fiasco

The ill part about this is, if you have an issue with any of the names, you're inadvertently saying he's better :loldenzel2:

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Is the best lyricist the one you have to spend a week researching all his references?
