The Infamous Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Need to listen CLOSEThe only people that dont seem to like him are generally the dipset fans but you need to sit down and listen not easy to appreciate in raves/cars.

Removal Man Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 checked his mixtapes bout a year and a half ago, werent feeling him at all so decided to llow Food & Liquorread some review bout F&L sayin it was da best sh*t since Illmatic and Lupe wouldnt be recognised as a legend for years to come cos he's too far ahead of his time or some shitsgave F&L a couple background plays and decided it didn't sound too bad, bout a week later gave it proper headphone start to finnish listen, listenin to every word and sh*t, and suddenly realisedLupe is quite literally the most refreshing thing in Hip Hop right now, The Cool IMO is a f*cking masterpiece, his word play to metaphors to similies to concepts are unrivalled at the moment, and the actual concept of The Cool is by far the most inspiring thing i've heard in hip hopoh and i'm a Dipset fan, and all the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLovin' Jones Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Lupe Fiasco is something else lyrically...However, you actually need to LISTEN not HEAR his music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Q Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Lol.Lupe is not over rated, seriously listen, sit down and actually listen to what he is saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJibbles Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 You need to listen closely to understand him. F&L went over so many people's heads and people never understood it all lyrically.Lupe is sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juju Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 i think he's over rated too, lyrically tight but only borderline listenable, cant stand most of the beats hes on especially on the new album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what has come before him is the level more rappers should be at but its like the artists have gone backwards on all of the above and are getting ratings for it.He is way too ill, man brings a smile to my face when I clock what he just spat and when I think "How the f*ck did he do that?" Listen to Hip Hop Saved My Life and you'll understand. Storytelling at its absolute best. Up there with the Nas', Biggie's and Jay'sMan concepts alone are refreshing like when you buss the first sip of fizzy 7up on a hot summers day when you buss the "ahhhh". I could go on forever about this guy. Him and Buddens are the ones pushing HH forward right now from the under 30s, Wayne is best out of the mediocre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpzz Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I reckon he's a good rapper. The cool is good album.But I see what you mean, some people do rate him like he's the best thing since sliced bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cipher Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Lupe is very very clever, seriously, that is why he is so rated. Things you've heard him say you will not even get, so you just think "meh" then after listneing to it a few times it snaps and you like raah....You have to be a little intelligent to get his music.Its like wu-tang, if you dont understand it, probly won't like it.

Afroman Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 lol @ future of seriousThe kind of terms I expect to here from back -packers..To say his wack is an insult, but I dont think he is that great, Considering the state of the HH industry I can understand why some are ghost riding his nuts, But 6 years ago this dude wouldn't even get a mention...Hes necessary in the day and age.. but never a great...joe budden on the other hand is/was a problem from day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
