LupeFiasco Discussion

I do believe Lupe is underrated, but I'm glad he's starting to get some recognition that he truly deserves.

Yo thats so true. But i think people underrate him because his verses are for a smarter audience. Most people prefer to listen something they can dance to. He is still the sh*t in my book.

"Underrated to the public, overrated by his fans." - and rated by nonfanboy hiphopheads.

He's NOT underrated.

Lupe knows what's going on, that's the same reason he didn't joined roc-a-fella records.

Well, i would say you can't be harsh on people who "sell out"
I mean, Kool Herc didn't play hip hop music at a party in Brooklyn so that people would NOT buy it
Artists rely on the industry to ship out more of their records. They want to be heard everywhere.

He's amongst one of the most underrated rappers in the game right now...its amazing how such talent cannot not be recognized and in the mean time we have rappers like lil wayne giving hip hop a bad name and a bad repeutation as well,bottom line he's to underrated and needs to be appreciated more often

Hell yeah! Way underrated. Lupe needs to go a bit more commercial for a bit. So he can get the attention he deserves. Then his name will be known to everyone like Jay z an Eminem.

he's underrated i hate how i ask people if they heard of lupe , they always say "kick , push" or "superstar" Listen too some other tracks!! and you'll become hooked!!!

he's underrated so he overcharges

He's overrated and underrated

4ZIATIC got it right. But that's pretty much the case with any artist.

Underrated to the public, overrated by his fans.

Ask me about it.

I think a lot of it has to do with the duration in between albums (I'm not at all saying it's a bad thing), but the attention span of the general public is short. Notice the artists who put out releases/collabs every other month stay in the public eye and makes them more popular. Granted I think that is why so much garbage is put out nowadays...prime example being Lil Boosie (I would be perfectly happy without hearing his corny ass again)

but it do seem like lupe is gettin more and more bigger than wen i first was a fan bc on his myspace page he only had like a thousand friends on his myspace. Now its ova aten million.

i think we are all here because we are his fans, not because he is underrated, even though most of us believe that he is. at least he doesn't have "kanye" mentality with the whole thing.
