He is SOOOOO arrogant, that he has taken a break from making more stuff (just after two albums) because he doesnt think he he has in him to spit much good stuff or have anything in particular to say. What a sign of arrogance.


If anything, this guy suffers from lack of confidence. He is talented as heck, but he is very uncomfortable with being praised.
I SAID HE SOUNDS ARROGANT TO ME, THAT DOES NOT MAKE HIM ARROGANT!

Well Burke, I think you have been against Lupe as soon as you heard his name. You asked me if he was Spanish or something because of his name, and since then you have spoken about how you dislike him. I think your hate is unfounded, so I ask again, why do you think he is overrated and what don't you like about his lyrics?

Even though I don't like that song, I like that quote.

Burke, you gotta respect this stuff man. He doesn't flaunt himself everywhere and saying ridiculous things like Wayne.

.
I do respect him, and I def respect him more than Wayne, but then again I respect the guy fucking me in the shower more than Wayne.

I respect him, and he might be good to a lot of people, but I JUST DON'T LIKE HIM.

Greatest ever? No way he's better than Rakim, Guru, Nas, Biggie, KRS-One, and the like. He's in the bracket behind them, but that's not really an insult.
To be considered in the bracket with the above Gs (for your info, Rakim is the GOAT;) A fucking lyrical monster), as I have no doubt he will be in the future, is high praise enough.

I mean he just has so much talent, that he just needs to continue to prove the above.

I mean listen to this, if you are this effortessly priceless MC as he is in this freestyle, then there is little to doubt about for the future:

Because I think his lyrics aren't that great, and I think Immortal Technique is better. Lyrically. AND HE IS SPANISH.

It's my opinion, and you will just have to accept that.



Fuck Lupe.

Lupe fanboys.

I think Immortal Technique is slightly better too, but that doesn't mean anything.

Now please tell me the real reasons for disliking Lupe. I mean, saying Technique is better is fine, I agree, saying you don't like Lupe's music is cool, but you gotta provide something else than "his voice sounds arrogant" if you want to prove he's overrated.

Just give us something meaningful on that.

I said he sounds arrogant in his delivery, TO ME, that does not mean he IS arrogant, FUCK, do you read anything?
But that doesn't anything. People could say Guru's delivery is arrogant because he thinks he's cleaner than any other MC because he states "Instead of preaching death in my songs, I preach life."

I mean, what does that mean? And I'm not trying to sound like Bill O'Rielly here.

Well I think you're stretching for straws, Sir, and acting on first impression.

I'm just trying to figure this out because you have a great knowledge of hip hop and I've never seen so much dislike for Lupe out of a person who knows hip hop.

Haha, let Burke off the hook on this one, he doesnt feel Lupe, ok.

Atleast tell me you dig the brilliant and suave fucker that is Mos Def?

For the record, I'm not a Lupe fanboy, I am an admirer of his rare talent, but if there is someone I am a fanboy of, then its defenitely Mos Def (only rivaled by Nas when it comes to favourites, and Nas can be annoying at times even if he is a genius). Only unfortunate thing is he isnt a fully dedicated MC because he doesnt release much material despite being around for a while (is busy being a talented frigging Actor, unfortunate for us).

Stuff like this song are instant classics for a reason:

Yes, I like Blackstar and Mos Def.

I have a cousin that looks a lot like him. Or at least he did when he was younger.

So you want me to explain lyrics to you?


*Spreak Engrish
Look, I'm just trying to figure out why someone with a good knowledge of hip hop blasts an artist like Lupe Fiasco when all the critiques I've seen regarding him have been positive. And the only reason why I look at those critiques was because I couldn't imagine why somebody, in this day and age, would say that Lupe isn't a good rap artist.

You have said Lupe is overrated and all his fanboys overrate him (including me). I'm asking you to prove that because I don't see it nowadays. You have said he's arrogant yet you just saw some lyrics suggesting he's not. What is that about? You have said his voice sounds arrogant. What does that even mean?

Just trying to level with you my friend.

It's the most important one, and it lasts a lifetime.
Judging a book by it's cover is indeed important.

That's apparent.
Look, Andy OR ANYONE, if you want to discuss this further, you can call me on the phone.

My cell is on facebook.
I will call you soon.

Because while preparing for an interview it's not important to shower or dress well because they get to know you for 5 years before they hire you. Jog on.


Plus, I think hip hop died in 2001, maybe even earlier.
