I know exactly how this thread will end. The old heads/east coast posters will ride for the Wu, younger/mid west/southern posters will ride for Lupe.
-
I dont do rankings or list... I appreciate the good music from Lupe and the Wu.. what a novel concept.

Totally co-signs this -
interesting thought...

Buy.
Hell, I'll take two. -
Depends on what ur talkin about...
but assuming ur talkin specifically rap skills, yea, Lupe is... -
No, I gotta sell this. Lupe is good and all and probably better than the Wu-Tang grasshoppers but not the best members like GZA.
-
excluding gza ill buy
-
Lupe is a modern day GZA imo and still isn't better than GZA. I think Met and Ghost are better too, he is technically better than Rae but Rae got better albums.
-
You can't tell me Lupe is ? with Method Man.
-
Sell. Lupe doesn't have the charisma and energy of the Wu.
-
That ? GZA don't even got a flow, cuh.
Lupe is almost the total package, just gotta co-sign Lorenzo, he don't have too much charisma. -

I guess he should..........
Lupe hasn't made an album as dope as Supreme Clientelle, Liquid Swordz,Tical,or Cuban Links or even had the impact of any of those joints, so i don't know what ground you are standing on. Not to mention their music is overall more entertainging than anything Lupe puts out.

C/S....Definite buy. -
GZA dont have a flow? what does that even mean?
He has a flow, he just doesn't switch it up. Then again it's not like Lupe does either, no one will ever mistake him for Pharoahe -
GZA dont have a flow? what does that even mean?
Do you know what a flow is? Good.
Now listen to him to hear a poor quality one. -
i love the concept of that song.Chalee_Boi wrote: »What music do yall listen to? Lupe is better than anyone of them.

Super Sell. Lupe is lyrically talented but makes absolutely boring albums. You can't possibly tell me Lupe has an album that's remotely close to the brilliance of Ironman, Supreme Clientele or The Pretty Toney. Ghost is that ? .
-
Chalee boy you just posted another Lupe song that has a cool concept but fails in execution.
-
This thread is pure blasphemy. Seriously, the ? has Lupe accomplished? I can't even name 4 people, offline, who listen to homie.

He wouldn't have stand out imo, dudes back then where just as nice, if not nicer and had style on top of that. Lupe would of probably been on the same level as Big L, Lord Finesse,etc. -
Yes Cold World the song from the classic album Liquid Swords is better than that average freestyle over the Thief's Theme beat.

That means nothing if you can't execute making great music, see Canibus. -

Which is what hurt Lupe, because it seems like he has great ideas and concepts on top of his dope lyrical ability, but his songs are just executed poorly. -
Lupe Fiasco is one of the few newer artists that is giving me hope for hip hop, but he has not surpassed Method Man, GZA, Ghostface, or Raekwon.
Still, he's very good.
