Lupe is easily one of the greatest rappers to carry the hip-hop torch right now. Wayne is shit, Drake is shit, over half these cats out here can’t match Lupe lyrically…and it worse when he covered their tracks and spit better than they do. Wiz, Lupe and B.o.B. are some of the best newcomers to the game, can’t wait til that Lauryn Hill CD drop…real hip-hop heads recognize real music, point blank period.

HAHAHA that was cute when you said Lupe matched Lil Waynes flare… More like he destroyed everyone one of those beats properly. Dont compare Lupe Fiasco, one of the best rappers of our time to someone as weak as Lil Wayne…

I usually don’t speak up about reviews, but anything short of a XXL on lyrics is stupid. Dude is wicked with the metaphors and rhyme schemes, or to put it in his words, “on point like the eating end of a fork.”

How do you give it a L for originality, he released the mixtape as ONE LONG 20+ minute song to give it that cassette tape feel. And who else is spitting over Radiohead beats and doing extended metaphors like he did on the first verse of that song? This is an XL all around, on ALL accounts. Shape up XXL.

—”on the oddly-titled “Fireman (Yoga Flame)”

how is Lupe’s reference to Street Fighter odd?

Remember “Gold Watch”???

“I love street fighter 2 I just really hate Zangeif / Only Ken and Ryu I find it hard to beat Blanka”

Idk man, I might have to give J.cole mixtape of the yr. His shit rode like an album. But I fuck with Lu heavy. Like sum1 else said, I slept on him early on too and I regret that now. Dude is coooooold

Though his relentless take-no-prisoners approach sounds a bit winded near the end, as evident in his underwhelming closing verse over Clipse’s “Popular Demand,”

are you kidding me?

I mean come on, I mean look at what I’m droppin’ here
Do this for the block and the blogosphere
No, you ain’t ready for the heavy, so I’ll keep it light as joggin’ gear
I don’t want the throne, I want the helicopter rocking chair
Jay gave me a co-sign like I was RocaWear, but be clear I’m not the air (heir)
I’m the water, fire and the earth

how is that underwhemling? thats some of the craziest wordplay anybody has ever written
