Being lyrically skilled is NOT criteria for being in the top 10/5.

I dont see how you can make a reasonable case for Lu to be ahead of LL or Big Daddy Kane or even Redman.

Lu might not even be top 25.

:whoo:

niccaz gotta be purposely dense...

Everything your favorite rapper does, Lupe does it better except three things... If your favorite rapper is naS then Lupe does not storytell better. If your favorite rapper is Pac then Lupe doesnt do a heartfelt track better. If your favorite rapper is Twista then Lupe doesnt have a better flow...

Other than that, niccaz just dont have an argument.

My argument would be his be lack of impact and resonance within the larger Hip Hop culture. That might change over time, but right now I couldnt see putting him ahead of Pharoahe Monch or GFK or Snoop or Q-Tip.

Now if yall wanna call him a top 10 lyricist thats another discussion.

weak beat selection for one not having a great voice(its ok) is another(more like a trait) grabbing the listener and having a song that people can relate to on another level is another problem he has. I could go all day :aicmon:

Really?

Youve either exposed yourself as someone who doesnt listen at all, someone who scribbled in his notepad and created his life, OR someone that simply just doesnt get it.

I relate to





let me know if you need more?

Beat selection? Beats are just fine to me... never had a gripe outside of some of LASERS songs with that other sound.

Voice? Never listened to old Jay Z huh? Em?

Notice you didnt mention anything about rap... lmao at these sour hataz, cant even hide it no more your hyde is so chaffed :umad:
