Whats good. I have another post, this time it's about Wasalu Muhammad Jaco. He's long been one of my favorite rappers....but why? Lets get right into it.
Lupe is the Chi Town rapper meaning he is representing Chicago...the same place that Kanye West and Common come from. But you knew that. He is a terrific lyricist with a razor sharp yet smooth flow. I remember when I first got his 2nd album The Cool. I was so hype and it didn't disappoint. Nowadays Lupe is still spitting fire and he's going to drop at least 2 albums before 2018( I hope).
Questions: Lupe is the best Lyricist of all time. Lupe is the best rapper in Chi Town?
First the 2nd question. He is great, but as a complete rapper, no. Kanye is greater, maybe that is it though. As far as regions go then Eminem too. They are more popular and more influential than Lupe.
Secondly, I would say yes and no. He's got an impeccable flow yes, and his lyricism is also top notch. So maybe he's the most complete lyrical rapper we've ever seen. Hold on now, lets not give him that title so easily. There's some great lyricists to contend with, namely Big Pun, Biggie Smalls, Jay-z, Eminem, and Nas. Like i said yes and no. He's certainly got he moist complex bars i've heard. Just listen to Mural from his last album Tetsuo and Youth.
Of course it's not all stellar. Lasers and Food & Liquor II werent awesome albums, just passable. But hey those are in the past and he's certainly got 3 classics under his belt.
