expressing the writer's emotions in an imaginative and beautiful way: is the definition of lyrical,, so basically, who expresses situations as vivd & good as Lupe does or however you wanna take it, lyrical is lyrical
Define "Lyrically". Because a lot of people throw that around, and either don't know what it means, or have completely different meanings for the word.
Eminem. Then you got the whole Slaughterhouse movement. But it depends what you wanna look at, i mean, Nas gets on the similar shit Lupe's on, i just think Nas is a legend, while Lupe gotta build it.
Gundamn I pretty much agree LU above all, but charles is the only other dude that has me catching lines l8 sometimes. I don't think hes @ lus level but he is above Ye on the lyrical competition for lupe. Ye can make a better song, but bar for bar charles>ye.
*pause* im a big charles fan but he's not fucking with lupe and i dont see anyone that is, call me a stan bt he's like the shakespeare of hip-hop he's too damn clever. bt i do love charles he's really misunderstood
Had to make an account to comment on the fact that people are saying Kanye. I love kanye almost as much as I love Lu, but LYRICALLY he isn't on the same boat as Lu. Nas, buddens, mos understandable but kanye? CMON SON. BTW my vote is Charles hamilton here comes the hate PEACE.
I was basing it off of Lyrical content,
that gives me space to mention dudes like Nas, and Black Thought, Mos Def (The Estatic)
artist you can't gauge an artist off of stuff they put out monthly or yearly that gives the impression of fickleness too.
Lupe's last album was in 07, who put out the most recent albums shouldn't be a factor.
No shots brezzz, I was just basing it off both.
Jay and Nas are both top lyricists, well established already and don't really put out stuff that isn't a brand new album or a single. Untitled was last year, and there's been barely any Nas buzz in 2009, but he's still one of the best / the best lyricist of all time. Like I said I was just keeping it current.
so, I thought we were basing this off of lyrical content not current relevance.
and if you think Jay is of that caliber why not?
I don't understand your rational.
Who's Joe Budden?? jk.. In this generation it's hard to say who it would be without falling into some other category (T.I).. I wanna say Talib Kweli, Common, NAS or Kanye (not his auto tune shit though), oh and because I'm Canadian K'NAAN T.O represent!! because he is just dope lool.. but to me they all have the deepest lyrics.
