I do agree that Lupe is objectively superior in every way, however the one thing I think Chance has going for him is that he said "I bet my ex looking back like a pillar of salt", and for me personally, there isn't a single Lupe Fiasco lyric that slaps as much as that line.
The whole entire saga of Michael Young History is at the top of my list, and he spread it across several albums and mixtapes, including Food and Liquor, and The Cool.
No one’s dismissing Lupe. The industry isn’t for these types anymore. As corrupted as the game is now, everyone that’s on top now SHOULD be where they’re at...
Drogas Wave still hasn't reached its peak potential. Still waiting for Lupe to release the musical or whatever he wants to do when he finally performs it live. Until now the only love performance we got for anything from that album is Mural Jr video.

@@K.B.Williams He picks bad beats and bad hooks all the time. Definitely not the best overall rapper. In terms of just being a wordsmith IMO it goes MF DOOM - Mos Def - Lupe - Black Thought
@@Kevin-qp6ow Interesting take. Let me ask, what does a bad hook and a bad beat have to do with rapping or lyricism? I would speak on how a beat and a hook are up to each individual to decide if it's a good or bad one but, let's keep this part about Lupe's lyrical attributes. But pure wordsmiths.. Big L, Cassidy, Big Pun, Royce, Eminem (Yes Eminem is a pure wordsmith/lyrical wizard I'm sick of defending that.. like really?) Of course Lupe, and I'd throw in Nas, Doom, and a few others. But it's not difficult to pick Lupe ahead of all of them. The man has every aspect of rapping covered. Lupe is the goat. Period!

Same with Chance tbh, last we saw between them 2 was Ye screaming some relationship-ruining shit to Chance after he tried to give him constructive criticism like 2 albums ago, and it’s been silence on both sides since… I’m glad to hear Ye still give Chance his flowers but I wish he didn’t get asked this “either or” question putting him against Lupe so he could speak more freely about both of em. …also wish he didn’t immediately go “Jew” in less than half a second lol god damn stfu Ye 🤦🏻♂️
Wasalu is not the one to be fucked with. I may not know him on a personal level, but I listen to his music, his random-ass IG lives, and watch his interviews. Good grief-the man taught/teaches at fucking MIT!!! Come on! What other rapper has ever done that? He is beyond this planet. I am grateful to be able to have witnessed a rare gem like Lupe Fiasco in my lifetime.
I will keep saying this every time he gets brought up. Lupe Fiasco, is undeniably one of the best emcees of any generation. Him and Pusha T helped me perfect my album structure as far as my music.
@@slimc3769 Yall just superslow, hes comparing their businessminds to how jews run the high exec buildings in most industries. He literally got cancelled for saying jews control most high positions while blacks dont at all, so hes saying lupe and chance as black brothers are on the same level of business acumen and intelligence as the jews that hold the highest positions. How do yall not understand that?

Lupe is definitely one of the greatest lyricist, but prime chance was one of the most creative rappers of all time. He started a wave and if he had kept to it I could easily see him changing the rap game
broooooo if he would have not gone the whole godly route and just stuck with the creative process of Acid Rap and the previous it would have been so crazy.
@@kevinlagarean4930There was a time period with 10 day, acid rap and whenever chance was on a feature, where literally no one was rapping like him. He had crazy flows, word play, and interesting lines. He was my favorite because I never could predict what he'd say next. I feel like when he got more spiritual his creativity got more stagnant and his topics more repetitive. He still has amazing verses from time to time: ultralight beam, highs&lows are good examples. But overall not the same
I tought from the start that he was pretty overrated. Like I would say Eazy Mac did with his early albums way better what Chance kinda tried to do. He never blew me away, it was all aesthetic and I had already gone quite hc my using psychedelic/dissociative face (with passion 😂) so just the name Acid Rap was very c'mon man. It sounds kinda like 420 Rap in it's own sense. Like I don't doubt Ye, since Lupe kinda needs to be super slick g-minded to be able to stay In That Business and continue to spread positive message on his level. Say what he says. Like for real for real I wouldn't even be suprised if Royce was offered some xtra money for the Lupe pod to minimize him and make the geek thing to stuck (make him un-cool) since labels have been heavily criss crossing with privatized prison systems. Provenly. Ice Cube and Bone Thugs talking about getting more money when making gangsta rap. Which is why Kanye cannot just say Lupe is better even tho fawning over him. So Lupe must be somekinda thorn on some big peoples side who are just annoyed and want him gone. In Roc A Fella Y'all is line: "He who answered the call (calling), the Most Cancelled rapper rappin never happened to fall." So they must've tried few times. Lupe even says in the Steve Jobs diss that he was highly sceptical why is Royce calling him for a pod. Then when he was last time in it shouting without shirt and said that I have something for you, I have someone else to come handle the business (Mickey) so he clearly had from start a plan-b if it looks like Royce have some bad faith motivations. As it did look like since according to Royce, minimizing Lupe and geek this geek that All The Time is just jokes, but then he himself is crying when Lupe and Mickey did the disses. Like you can say Lambda is better rapping but given Lupe pretty much Instantly answered with freestyle and it was wayway more impactfull as a Diss. Then Mickey doing both, clean and direct and finishes it off leaving Royce crying does he need to take it to violence.. 🙄 They are not ready for that, blablablaaabla for 10-20h and yet not rapping again.
Lupe is really from the west side of Chicago from the mud… people just don’t stand by him because he would hurt the gangster image because he promotes being positive and an telling the truth
Love both, but I feel it’s comparing apples to oranges. Especially after Drogas Wav, Lupe is on another level as far as storytelling and using multiple entendres.
At one point, I was listening to "DROGAS WAVE" everyday for months. That project is INSANE. "WAV files" is complex, somber, yet, hauntingly beautiful. "CRIPPLE" showed me how well Lupe can sing. I thought initially it was someone else who was singing, but it's still Lu. What can't that beautiful man do?
@@kkindseyLupe is from the westside of Chicago and was really a part of that street shit. Look up his manager Chilly Mack and what happened to him. Ye and the rest of them know, that's why even the drill guys didn't play around with Lupe's name
i remember some years ago Mos Def publically challenged all rappers to battle. wanted smoke with anyone who wanted it.....lupe said he'd do it......Mos quite literally said "I meant anyone but you"......been my GOAT since The Cool but solidified since SLR 2. Kendrick was gaining that possible GOAT status and Wasulu had to swiftly quell that shit in true Lupe fashion. Lupe was kendrick long before kendrick
Lupe was my favorite rapper in high school, and honestly, he’s still on my legacy favorites list. He was the first artist in hip-hop I felt I could actually relate to. Back then, I couldn't vibe with the typical themes of drugs, money, and women-it just didn’t resonate with me. I wasn’t a fan of what those messages were putting out into the world. But then there was Lupe. Lupe opened the door for me to truly appreciate lyricism on another level. His music made me realize the power of words, storytelling, and meaningful expression in rap. That foundation eventually led me to someone else who, for me, is now the GOAT of lyricism: Aesop Rock. If you haven’t heard of him, do yourself a favor and look him up. Aesop Rock’s music is a masterclass in wordplay, layered meanings, and pure poetic genius. Even Lupe himself-yes, Lupe Fiasco-has said that every rapper should study Aesop Rock. He even made a whole video explaining why. Oh, and just to be clear, this is Aesop Rock, not A$AP Rocky-two completely different vibes. Trust me, once you dive into Aesop Rock’s discography, you’ll understand why both Lupe and I hold him in such high regard. Thanks for reading my TED Talk. 😄
In some round about way, Ye giving Lupe his flowers (sort of) is awesome but totally un-needed. Lupe is well beyond his early career with Ye. Comparing Lu and Chance is crazy. Lu runs circles around everyone at the table.

@kevinlagarean4930 It’s hard to do music like that when your actually doing acid. Doing drugs like that isn’t healthy in the long run
@@kevinlagarean4930There was a time period with 10 day, acid rap and whenever chance was on a feature, where literally no one was rapping like him. He had crazy flows, word play, and interesting lines. He was my favorite because I never could predict what he'd say next. I feel like when he got more spiritual his creativity got more stagnant and his topics more repetitive. He still has amazing verses from time to time: ultralight beam, highs&lows are good examples. But overall not the same
I tought from the start that he was pretty overrated. Like I would say Eazy Mac did with his early albums way better what Chance kinda tried to do. He never blew me away, it was all aesthetic and I had already gone quite hc my using psychedelic/dissociative face (with passion 😂) so just the name Acid Rap was very c'mon man. It sounds kinda like 420 Rap in it's own sense.
Like I don't doubt Ye, since Lupe kinda needs to be super slick g-minded to be able to stay In That Business and continue to spread positive message on his level. Say what he says. Like for real for real I wouldn't even be suprised if Royce was offered some xtra money for the Lupe pod to minimize him and make the geek thing to stuck (make him un-cool) since labels have been heavily criss crossing with privatized prison systems. Provenly. Ice Cube and Bone Thugs talking about getting more money when making gangsta rap. Which is why Kanye cannot just say Lupe is better even tho fawning over him. So Lupe must be somekinda thorn on some big peoples side who are just annoyed and want him gone. In Roc A Fella Y'all is line: "He who answered the call (calling), the Most Cancelled rapper rappin never happened to fall." So they must've tried few times.
Lupe even says in the Steve Jobs diss that he was highly sceptical why is Royce calling him for a pod. Then when he was last time in it shouting without shirt and said that I have something for you, I have someone else to come handle the business (Mickey) so he clearly had from start a plan-b if it looks like Royce have some bad faith motivations. As it did look like since according to Royce, minimizing Lupe and geek this geek that All The Time is just jokes, but then he himself is crying when Lupe and Mickey did the disses. Like you can say Lambda is better rapping but given Lupe pretty much Instantly answered with freestyle and it was wayway more impactfull as a Diss. Then Mickey doing both, clean and direct and finishes it off leaving Royce crying does he need to take it to violence.. 🙄 They are not ready for that, blablablaaabla for 10-20h and yet not rapping again.
I could not stop laughing at this hahaha. This is the most Kanye answer ever lol
🔥Lupe Fiasco🔥 ✨🎨🖌️✨
Lupe is really from the west side of Chicago from the mud… people just don’t stand by him because he would hurt the gangster image because he promotes being positive and an telling the truth
It's funny cause he's one of the most gangster ones from Chicago. Guy has connections to the streets
Right I remember he shut that silly Cheef Keef nonsense down on twitter by Praying for him.
Saved Drake at house of blues
Common is like that as well
@@RonaldJames-eo2hcCommon is 4CH I believe
Lupe is the one! 😌🙏🏾
Yall better understand, Chill took the fall for Lupe. Boy was moving birds
Lupe all day, without a doubt
Love both, but I feel it’s comparing apples to oranges. Especially after Drogas Wav, Lupe is on another level as far as storytelling and using multiple entendres.
Lupe can create quadruple
At one point, I was listening to "DROGAS WAVE" everyday for months. That project is INSANE.
"WAV files" is complex, somber, yet, hauntingly beautiful. "CRIPPLE" showed me how well Lupe can sing. I thought initially it was someone else who was singing, but it's still Lu. What can't that beautiful man do?
Lupe Fiasco = Best Thing to come out of Chicago Bottom Line,
He ain’t wanna say it but we all know lupe is on a completely different plane than chance
The chance to be elevated is with spiritual recognition.
Lupe is 50 gangsta low key
@@kkindseyLupe is from the westside of Chicago and was really a part of that street shit. Look up his manager Chilly Mack and what happened to him. Ye and the rest of them know, that's why even the drill guys didn't play around with Lupe's name
Listen to “mural” by Lupe.
That’s probably raps most lyrical song ever birthed.
Lupe dont fk around with that Pen.
this was crazy to me growing up listening to lupe
Sometimes I think Lupe might just be the most talented rapper ever
i remember some years ago Mos Def publically challenged all rappers to battle. wanted smoke with anyone who wanted it.....lupe said he'd do it......Mos quite literally said "I meant anyone but you"......been my GOAT since The Cool but solidified since SLR 2. Kendrick was gaining that possible GOAT status and Wasulu had to swiftly quell that shit in true Lupe fashion. Lupe was kendrick long before kendrick
My 3 favorite rappers…
Please don't ever disrespect Lupe like that ever again!
Lupe was my favorite rapper in high school, and honestly, he’s still on my legacy favorites list. He was the first artist in hip-hop I felt I could actually relate to. Back then, I couldn't vibe with the typical themes of drugs, money, and women-it just didn’t resonate with me. I wasn’t a fan of what those messages were putting out into the world. But then there was Lupe.
Lupe opened the door for me to truly appreciate lyricism on another level. His music made me realize the power of words, storytelling, and meaningful expression in rap. That foundation eventually led me to someone else who, for me, is now the GOAT of lyricism: Aesop Rock.
If you haven’t heard of him, do yourself a favor and look him up. Aesop Rock’s music is a masterclass in wordplay, layered meanings, and pure poetic genius. Even Lupe himself-yes, Lupe Fiasco-has said that every rapper should study Aesop Rock. He even made a whole video explaining why.
Oh, and just to be clear, this is Aesop Rock, not A$AP Rocky-two completely different vibes. Trust me, once you dive into Aesop Rock’s discography, you’ll understand why both Lupe and I hold him in such high regard.
Thanks for reading my TED Talk. 😄
LUPE FIASCO❗️
The way Ye never take shots is legendary
Lupes supa gangsta lmaoo. Yes he iss.
Lupe fr gon pull up with Pokemon cards in one hand and smack you with the other. This sounds like a joke but I"m dead serious.
Lupe People, Ye Folks...Its a whole thing to this the respect is real AF.....
Lupe a vice lord or 4ch lol
In some round about way, Ye giving Lupe his flowers (sort of) is awesome but totally un-needed. Lupe is well beyond his early career with Ye. Comparing Lu and Chance is crazy. Lu runs circles around everyone at the table.
Lupe is not a super computer he's an alien.
Remember Lupe fucking rapped over National Anthem by Radiohead.... No sane person can fucking do that in their lifetime no matter how good they are...
lupe a lost generational talent THANK YOU LUPE FOR MURAL!!!!
Why we can't we have a Lupe show in SA ? I'll buy the ticket like now
Great to find a fellow South African who is a fan of Lupe Fiasco big up. #LuDaRuper
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool is so underrated its a really great hip hop album🔥
Lupe Fiasco is the greatest lyricist ever. He’s better than anyone else Eminem included
Food & Liquor is probably one of my favorite albums of all time
