like you mean to tell me if a prime KRS One and a prime Lupe got a song together, Lupe wouldn't embarrass his ass?


dogg, Lupe had to dumb down his Trials and Tribulations material and ended up spitting all new verses for Pressure and STILL waxed Hov (who's twice the rapper KRS is IMO)

:what: I dont know shyt about hiphop because jay-z not in my top 5 ? :bryan::heh: at this retarded ass logic. jay-z subject matter is limited to the same braggadocio bs that plague our community outside of 2 albums at best. one of them albums was a concept album the other was his first album.

They don't want the truth Loose.

I remember you being an overweight fukking monster too, but I don't go and bring that up you pathetic fukkin cornball

:comeon:

I am 6'2, 195 pounds. At my heaviest I was 210. Excess weight can be lost. To combat being a fukking idiot might be an exercise in futility. Best wishes on that, though.

top 10 all time? top 20-25 is more reasonable

:pachaha:

Where is your man Eminem all time Sun? Top 3?

people bust nuts over "Failure" when he has album cuts
that are more lyrical.
Hell "dumb it down", "form follows function" and "day dreaming" come to mind.
And that's just off the top im certain I can name more.

As for being emceeing perfected or some other equally ridiculous exaggeration I disagree
he doesn't do a lot of complex rhyming with patterns.
If he had to out write Kool G Rap or Rakim, Im certain he'd get eaten alive.
He really excels at metaphor,word play,allusions etc
Things that he seems to have lifted from Jigga.

As for songs as impressive as failure that's easy :
Poet Laureate II
Animal Planet
Heavy mental
Soupa
Twinz (deep cover 98)
Allied meta-forces
Sex with society and cartoons and cereal both by Kendrick Lamar
and Im certain I can name more dope records....

I'm just gonna start posting stupid shyt I hear from this latest album. :russ:

Now the stuff I post may seem genius level to you, but to real emcees and their fans this shyt is generic, overly obscure trash for no good reason except to SEEM deep.

Off "Put Em Up"

Put one in the air (heir) like the Kings Son for the heir to the kingdom which means I'ma be the king once the king done, if he don't wanna leave then I might have to guillotine HUM (him?)
:what:

Off the same song.
Whoopi said:
Had a good Year and my intentions is to blimp on even if I'm injured I'ma limp into the end zone from game one till it's SUPER like KARRINE dome
:krs: :stopitslime:

I could do this shyt all day. The point I'm making is that Lupe is a talented rapper no doubt. The fact that he's rapping about nothing half the time disqualifies him from any GOAT discussion.

Life after Death is a classic.
It's one of the greatest double albums of all time
Don't want to go to into detail but Biggie just made better music
facts of life...
