Ok peep game, Lil wayne claims to be a martian...WRONG....he just look like one!!!! Wayne can rap all day hands down, but he aint sayin or talkin bout shit!!!!! No content what so ever....he cant even eat from lupes plate... (personal opinion)....lupe is out of this world and the only ones i see comin close to lupe is:
1.Em
2.Talib
3.Dre 3000
Lulz, Jay Z, this isn't a discussion about the most overrated rappers, though I do see Eminem has been mentioned so maybe I'm wrong. I've probably said this before but Chamillionaire and Tech N9ne are the only two that come close. With Bun B and Busta Rhymes trailing closely.
I dont think there is an artist in his range, he's just an ecclectic dude, and I know cause Im same way, a hood nigga at heart & intellegent mindframe, he's "out there out there out there" as said in that joint where he describes the Streets as a "demon in a dress" lol
wow there are a few from Rhymefest , talib kweli, Mos Def, BLU, People under the Stairs, K'Naan its just it got alot of lyrical artists they just not as close to Mainstream as he is
i had a guy at my work(obsessive Lupe fan) tell me my lyrics are better than Lupe's...
there ain't no way...
...but I'm not gunna lie, i am a beast with words.
"da bird kick verb backwards can, yep, Lu (Kang/can) fool (and he/any) ordinary man, but no (Wayne/one) (Kung/can) (Fu/fool) me man"
-MC-Squared a.k.a. MC2
i got more where that came from
All the hate on Kanye and love for Nas ain't shit. Kanye is a icon in rap. Kanye rolls out new shit and new sounds with every album. Nas raps about the same shit every album.
I give my props to Tech N9ne, B.o.B. (in most of his songs), and Big Band Theory.
No one is lyrically close to Lupe. Honestly. As fo all the upcomng underground artist maybe on day but not rite now. I mean lupe is the only person that can tell about the world u live in as if it were another universe entirely
@ Vic... I really like Atmosphere... I have 5 Albums but I like God Loves Ugly best. And yea i think Lu and Slug definitely have different styles but i wouldn't say Slug's thoughts are necessarily deeper just more eccentric...That's just my opinion tho.
@ 4Z.... Um, I can't find the Big Band Theory online but it's on his album Actual Factual Pterodactyl. Great Song!!!! "I'm the type of organism, sightseers try and visit/ MCs try and mimic/ might catch an aneurysm.." -Big Band Theory... lmao
Good Luck!
Not going to start ranking people because in the end that's all opinion. People I like lyrically though, that don't get that much recognition -
Tech N9ne
Blu / Exile
AOTP (Celph Titled, Apathy, etc)
Tonedeff
Elzhi
Pharoahe Monch
etc..
@ Billie got any Big Band Theory stuff?
