lupe fiasco.

this dude has it all, flow, lyrics, delivery, and he can change styles like nothing. my mans cant be denied. cant wait for that l-u-p end to drop.....

bump............

I completely wrote him off as mainstream garbage and never listened to him until just recently. I was really impressed. He's really good. I downloaded Food & Liquor and I think it's a really solid album.

u could make the argument. but i would not

I don't know.. T.I. is going strong, Em just came out with a comeback album.. Lloyd banks is still a monster.. Jada made a good album. I don't know man..

lupe fiasco. :no:

he's good but not even close. there are others who make him look average.

Little weapon... Little weapon

:banana:

lloyd banks is like wuteva.

You obviously have not been keeping up with his mixtapes lately. Mr. Banks is killin that **** right now... His Top 5 series is some of the best mixtape **** in awhile. You can download most of them off of thisis50.com

lyrics? well that lives out flow and delivery, but ok, heres a few verses.


MR. LIF - "yo, I'll pull your way out of your regular state
increase metabolism to a post-cellular rate
and as you break your self down internally
I write in my journal see thoughts that'll remain eternally
paragraphs that'll last through the mega blast
chemical warfare and even the aftermath
endure radiation as well as the fallout
and out of the darkness, my voice shall call out
reviving souls from both north to south poles
it's time to resurrect and redirect our goals"



Black Thought - "Who knows what you snorted
or who support what you recorded
but don't get it distorted,in this orbit you're aborted
?,****'s imported,exported
styles,they get sported my paragraphs aortic behold
the illest medely got you in the choke hold
illadel epilouge,top league plus plush in Vogue
slice tongues from your area code
student of life with the rugged exterior mode
blind a devil with the bold black and gold shine
I walk the thin line and hold mine,let the people respond
it's mind detect mind
swine decline let the power refine
build like it's 1999"



Aceyalone - "I won't distort, I don't contort
connect conduct collect console or conceal
In full control of the roll of the wheel
My eyes are my appliance to decipher the science
Omitting defiance with the high-tech mic check
The buttons that flashed I pushed for absolute
destruction your structure is lifted from the ground
The foundation mound is broke, so you float around
I'm embedded in what is known as beat
Let it be shown, every enzyme is complete"



R.A. The Rugged Man - "I'm in it to win it/
Get it, the lieutenant hinted, the villain, I been it/
The killing, I did it, cripple, did it, pictures I painted is vivid, live it/
A wizard with weapons, the secret mission, we 'bout to begin it/
Government funded, behind enemy lines/
Bullets is sprayin', it's heatin' up a hundred degrees/
The enemies the North Vietnamese, ***** please/
Ain't no sweat, I'm told, "Be at ease"/"



MF DOOM - "The flow is towin precision as a afrotrim
All big letters but it isnt no acronym
Smack the thin grin off the chin for crack smokin
DDT the first bar leave the track backbroken
Chrome grown men doing business with Anglo-Sax'n'em
Lacking swing but that banjo's so relaxing as the wax spin
Hacking axes in the wind pretend its just a pen
See if you can pencil em in"



Insight - "he flecked off set when exposed to flow physics
critically corrodes complex techs to tidbits
granulated strips stripped down the sound basics
from fabricated mix twenty bits of specifics
tasteless tips of clowns fit to few digits
categoric strip hits you everyday dimwits
with solitigated sound soaked in sencful solvents
slappin your syndicates lost lyric ligaments
opposition punks for a profound predicament
to end the flooded figment of hostility
hop in the ****pit quick, as I navigate
to targets optics locked in what I narrate"



Tonedeff - "No one's as gifted or as vigorously meticulous with a writtern scripture/
Or spits with this infinite syllablism that I've been equipped with/
Should I quit with the quick **** or pitch shift a negative 50% in an effort to get rich/
Or stick with the swiftness for the ni99as that get this/
Even when I'm simplistic, I can be unbelievably cryptic/
The rhythm endures the physical force to split a tree with a discuss/
With the ease of a flicked wrist, your soul can be seized from a distance/
In an instant - by this Plague affiliate that's seething with sickness/"



Pharoahe Monch - "Its a political grab bag to rape mother earth
Thirty seconds after they bagged dad for what he's worth
Thousands will die now so millions can smile later
This ain't the Rockford Files *****
They stockpile data for satellites
Where you discuss who's style is greater
In this killing pool you playing it cool like Kyle Jada
When ya'll ready to rock like Led Zep and Al Qaeda
With weapons of mass destruction an hour later
What's your identidy today?
You on some John F. Kennedy or Timothy McVeigh?
This Henessy done left me with a remedy to spray
For my identity your life is the penalty to pay
Mother****er"

just a few nice verses from present time MC's.

Blu is the best rapper out right now.

dont think theres a rapper out right now superior to all others, but BLU imo is greater than lupe, by far.

:no:

he's good but not even close. there are others who make him look average.

Blu is the best rapper out right now.

okay thats alot. ill go one at a time:

Lupe:
"ya know its hard liquor/rock steady from the start sista
since i stepped on the set like godzilla
since i stepped on the scene..... its been nothin but him hustlen, old schoolin, instruction was mean/ yea, as i lean- back like limbo in 64's like nintindos/clean, dont intervene chumps/ yall far from the hood like limousine trunks/
man im up from with the pumps and i squeez into cars like a mini full of clowns or a coupe full of klumps / many put it down but LU from the jump been producin that krunk/ fusion of music amuse'n the youth where im from/ im from where you shouldnt come"
thats a freestylle btw


"I gave you honesty on my first joint.... and yall all came out/ i show u what change bout/ unroll ya blunts pour ya champaign out- the dealers of the pain/ so u can plainly see the black mans pain i campaign bout/ god willin b'4 i wain (win) i take a cham-pain (champion) route/ before i throw a bout ill walk out the game while my fans in the stans just chantin my name out LU-PE.

And its gon be PPV/ wont be back for free/ gon need scratch to see me rematch with me/ my greatest enemy is my inner me
so i take this urge and give you revenge of the nerds Fahrenheit 1-15"


"truthfully i have trouble with second verses cuz the first one be so intimidat'n/ it be bully'n on em instigatin/ pointin out all the second ones limitations/ like 'u aint nothin but imitation....like/ bits of bacon' / then he gets the chorus and the beat to get together than they all gang up on em and get ta hatin/ but then around the 8th bar /he tires of all the conspire'n, commiserate'n/ then he finds his inspiration...ta spar
he takes a few seconds of judo lesson then gets back on beat and punches the guitar. they stand in awe like 'when did you write that? that aint even right black' first verse already happened so he dont got a chance to fight back. ilke dat/ Abagnale jr. check me, you gon respect me iight track? listen to um feelin himself, swagger up and a few adlibs to back him up/ lets back it up/ i think u had enough/ gimmie my mic back/ u aint even write that/ oh its like that?/ track stop pumpin till dis ***** stop frontin/ yea yea na right back"
