Except I don't listen to any Hip Hop from this era at all. I only listen to a VERY select few and Lupe is one of them. I mostly listen to 90's Hip Hop and trust me that imo Lupe is lyrically better then both of them. When it comes to pure lyrics he is better then them both mainly talking about Lupe's earlier work back in 2005/6/7. Its really just an honest opinion. Jay-Z and EM are in my favorites list but damn are they overrated as hell. They def are greats but my ears work perfectly fine.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Em is his peak would spit circles around Lupe. But hey...

If you haven't already, check out some of these new cats. Hip Hop's making a big comeback the past few years.

On top of Kendrick and Cole who have obviously blown up, we have Hopsin, Dizzy, Krit and Yelawolf doing their thing. Young guns like Joey Badass and Logic are the best up and comers in my opinion. They're young but they're dope.

If you feel that way then that's cool. I I'm not gonna jump on you about it but I just feel that Lupe is lyrically better then him and Jay. Its not to take anything away from them because I love their work but I know great lyrics when I hear them.

I think the complex lyricism of Em goes a long way, but hey.

Just goes to show you STAX don't know **** about Boxing or Hip hop...

I don't even like this song but show me where you have heard more lyricism or wordplay/metaphors from either compared to this song? This is why I feel he is better when it comes to pure lyrics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxTB9WsUjtc

Unh! I bring you murder in the first
And even as we speak we gettin further in this verse
With no further adieu I do what I respect
Doom got me stripes like Hamburgler for my work
Ask Lupe the killa, killa, killa, killa
Mercy, he's a mess! So immersed in his murk
He's two thirds submerged below the surface where they surf
This is where I lay it down like a bird givin birth
So call me Lu the giant's goose or just, Faberge paint
Til I'm called back to the shore by the watchers of the bay
I wait, til I come back like a tsunami
Never microwave like the watchers of the weight
I'm wrapped in aluminum foil, I do my dirt like Kwame
Until that same soil bein pushed into my grave
But I'm so ahead of my time, the next day
Might strike oil while I delay, homie I'm so crude
Texas T, haters is so screwed
But I can't fill it like a flathead in a Philips
Don't get it twisted, ***** I'm no tool
More cool than a pool in a blizzard
With ice cubes in it during Christmas
Meanin there's no school, in the misfit
Like I'm throwin a fit
Or I just can't fit it, tidbit too big
It's gotta hem it til it's fresh to death
Dressed to kill it, like unh!

Unh! 187 on my second, I reckon
This is an assault with a deadly session
A soft peace and blessins to the sentence that be reppin
All across in every direction, locality, and section
That know Lupe the killa, killa, killa, killa
Give it how I live it most *****z won't believe
Or achieve how I did it most *****z won't recieve
Til I leave and I bereave the secrets of my sickness
How I, flooded the streets like Venice
I've suffered, demanded, withstanded, pimp handed and hustlin
I'm Colonel Mustard with the speech
They ain't catchin me, no su****ions of stickin
No convictions on my rap sheet
I'm so committin lay my murder game, that's sweet
Speakeasy like Prohibition, no emission
If you ain't knockin like me to the underground bar, buryin a toast
Dodgin the raid like roach, ***** please

Unh! I make it give up the ghost
On the trifecta, the third, I differ
*****, you ain't heard? My lecture like Lector
Letcha in on a secret, but you can't leak it
Lupe's the killa, killa, killa, killa
Since my entrance, my *****z had packs
They moved 'em to a trap like Winston
Far from bustas, baby nah
All my homies henchmen
I was the rhymer, my talk went through the walls like Slimer
Or like, eatin vagina
Or, a stray bullet, whichever ways I put it
Crooks was hooked like crooks through neighborhoods I pushed it
Little Caesar *****z pizzas was like book it
Delivery mean like Leroy Green
They couldn't take it to the places I took it
Beware, you don't look it
You ain't dressed for this affair
I'm hooded in the bushes like unh!

The actual lyrics. Lupe is nice, you're acting like I'm saying he sucks. I'm saying he does NOTHING Em or Jay couldn't do.



I mean, I don't know man. I ain't never met too many cats that would say Lupe could hang with Em. I don't think he sucks, he's pretty good, but he looks real good in an era where Wayne is supposedly dope.

You heard of Logic or Joey Badass. Real dope young guys coming up.

This is why I said that in pure lyrics that Lupe is better. Compare both songs and tell my how Lupe's wordplay and metaphors are not better then EM's. EM is amazing but when you break down lyrics then Lupe is better then him imo.

[4Corners]

I can't even wrap my head around how you can't see even on an Em song where he was raw and young, not even in his peak yet, that his rhyme scheme and wordplay isn't levels above. I just can't.

Hey it's been real man. Have a good one.

But that's how Hip Hop goes. They were all better in their younger days. History just proves this. Look at Jay-Z,Nas and EM and compare their earlier work to their work of recent. I'm not saying Lupe is a better "artist" then them but when it comes to lyrics at its purest form then he is better then EM and Jay-Z. I don't think he blows them out the water but he is better then them imo.
