Because that shyt is amazing. I don't even like Lupe but back when I originally heard that and Switch I thought this nikka was a genius. Now I can't stand that nikka. By definition I think nikkas like Lupe and Elzhi are probably some of the best Lyricists out there but not rappers if that makes sense.Lupe fans always wanna mention Lupe the Killer
Lupe is NOT a better MC what you just wrote there don't even make senseexactly
Nas just is a better rapper, but Lupe is a better emcee
How doesn't it make sense? Lupe has more entendres, a better flow than anything post It Was Written, and a better concept/alternate persona rap album than NasLupe is NOT a better MC what you just wrote there don't even make sense
Kick, Push to me is one of Lupe's most well written and well produced song, probably his most iconic song too
Look at nikkaz tryin to change the topic. Of course nikkaz are better lyricists than naS. In this case I also believe that nikkaz are better emcees and songwriters than naS too. When I think of a superior MC than a nikka like Lu, nikkaz that are better at the physical aspect of rapping, I'm thinking my nikka T, Pac... I mean theres not too many. I think son's voice hurts him but that doesnt make him a worse MC, it makes him a better MC with a weaker voice.Because that shyt is amazing.

Lupe has a better flow than Nas , nikka Lupe's flow is a reason a lot of people CAN'T get into him.How doesn't it make sense? Lupe has more entendres, a better flow than anything post It Was Written, and a better concept/alternate persona rap album than Nas
son's a better MC, nothing wrong with being a better rapper, that means Nas at least beats Lupe overall
This nikka is the perfect example of why naS stans are generally dumb as fukk. This stuff is not even really debatable. naS is literally about 1/100th of the lyricist that Lu is and I'm being generous. Like I said, if Lu penned the shyt yall call great from naS, yall would claim Lu fell off. If naS penned anything in Lu's discography yall would run around actin like the nikka cant be touched.Lupe has a better flow than Nas , nikka Lupe's flow is a reason a lot of people CAN'T get into him.
Lupe has better concepts than Nas see this is when it stops I can't argue with a nikka that thinks Lupe is conceptually better than Nas. It Was Written was a persona mafioso album, The Cool is better than It Was Written ?
Yes, The Cool was better than It Was Written, and was more original. We have the story of Mychael Young History, an actually new spin on a lowly black male rising to prominence, abandoning all of that he had at the bottom, and then getting assassinated by the metaphysical "Game" when he got to recklessLupe has a better flow than Nas , nikka Lupe's flow is a reason a lot of people CAN'T get into him.

you the biggest Nas hater on this board you got no say in these matters fakket you are a troll.This nikka is the perfect example of why naS stans are generally dumb as fukk.

First of all Nas ain't bite Raekwon, he was a G Rap stan and the mafia references are abundant on Illmatic. Not to mention he was featured on Cuban Linx and 4,5,6.Yes, The Cool was better than It Was Written, and was more original.

vs a mafioso album, that came after Only Built 4 Cuban Linx with Nas riding off of that hype and ideal. Better concept than The Cool? fukk outta here

It Was Written would win the poll on literally any hip hop forum you made it on. The Message one of the greatest subliminal records ever, I Gave You Power one of the greatest concept songs of All-Time, Nas was cinematic on this album the storytelling was amazing, flow was crisp as hell. The Cool drags on for waaay too long, and a few iffy beats and skippable tracks.
There would probably be no Lupe without It Was Written, it's his favorite album of All-Time.
