lupe is dope..but he doesnt stand out..AT ALL


i mean..that shyt with trey songz is fukking HORRIBLE..

anyone that deserves to be in the top 10 needs to know how to have rap fans listening and the mainstream recognizing their talent...you cant just do one and expect to great...all the greatest were able to accomplish both and have both sides love them

lupe....lupe got fukking sonned by a 16 year old :snoop:

and actually admitted to dumbin his music to the point where he goes from "hip hop saved my life" and "tokyo"...to "i cant get you out of my head" :why: :why: :why:

Ready to Die and Life after Death > any Lupe album
it's not debatable my friend

:laff: Dudes acting like Big's two albums didn't change the game. Lupe never dropped no genre defining LP's as of yet. "Food and Liquor" was Classic to me but it's not even consensus and it's been 5 years. "The Cool" was uneven but solid, I give it about 4 MICS. "Lasers" was weed plate and his lyrics couldn't save it. F&LII I'm still listening too. So Yes he has a soild catalog but Top 10? I like Lupe but this is getting ridiculous. He's not Top 10. He's standing out in one of the weakest era's in Hip Hop History.

IMO Lupe's at his best when he drops storytelling type tracks/albums. However lyrical his most recent drops can be and stacked with double entendre and metaphors and what not, at some points it sounds forced and I can't fukk with this political/activist shyt.

That's why The Cool shyts all over F&L II to me

Negativity (Kayfabe)
Fl and fl2 both classic
The cool is arguable classic at least 4.5 mics
Lasers was disappointing

Classic mix tape catalog. Check.
Sold records and commercial success. Check.
Co-signed by hip hop legends. Check.
Has something to say in his music. Check.

And he is under 30 years old. Imagine 10 years from now what piff we will get brehs, this is only the beginning.

I'm putting him ahead of the camel in my top 10.

After Lupe's Atlantic contract is up, his really retiring

All this fake retirement are just that; he still owes them, like, 2 albums

But, I don't see him rhyming after that

You need 10 years in the game before you can even be considered a top 10 contender


Shame that the gap between The Cool & Lasers offered zero albums, this retirement thing is gonna leave him with a 6 album discog

No one said you were Versa, you asked who is saying its classic and I responded. This is the second time you've acted like people aren't making outlandish comments that is making other people SMH.

Album is cool. I liked it more the 2nd time I listened to it. Just wish the over the top hyping wasn't there.

That's because he has the reading comprehension of a 5-year old.

Thought you meant top 10 currently..

nikkas saying top 10 all time ???:what:

Me too :heh:

Them nikkas just lowered the bar to a level I couldn't possible rock with..


This is like putting Souls of Mischief in the same conversation with Outkast...It takes much more than mind blowing bars to be mentioned among the greats..Hip hop has been around almost 40 years..You know how many great emcees there has been?

:rudy:


Lupe is top 10 currently and has a top 5 album this year..But this era is so watered down it's almost like being the tallest midget...
