Lupe is a highly enciphered, literary, writer. The average listener wouldn't fully comprehend his technique. Which is 100% of people. His layering and entendres are way beyond most people's understanding not to mention allusions. The allusions interconnect with so many different meanings, which explains why individuals don't catch his arcane references and overall layers. And the guy's homophones are bananas. Lupe is the greatest when it comes to Literary Devices. The sad part is that these individuals aren't even aware of what makes him so densely packed 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾.
Interesting you brought up Stevie Knight lol He had a reaction to Daylyt’s LA Leakers joint. And couldn’t get thru it even with someone helping him catch the bars😂😂
Njies from the UK does Lupe really well. He isn’t a bar breakdown channel he’s a reaction channel. But he gets Lupe first listen better than anyone else I’ve heard.
I disagree on one point however Even though it is tedious to do to many, if people actually tried writing out a rhyme scheme a punchline or a scheme or writing that has a message in it You actually start to hear and see where artists are going on a song, deadass. When you understand the fundamentals for what’s going on, you have a deeper appreciation for what it is Especially if you then see and hear what these top level artists create. Or lyricists spitting crazy on a track For reaction channels, somebody who has written lyrics before will be perfect for Which I think is a reason reaction channels like MichelleShow, Knox Hill, etc. Will have such great reactions. Because they truly are catching the bars to every level the lines have
@Cynthionic not to my knowledge. I'm a black metal gear STAN. So him twisting the monologues from the game to make them about black plight was particularly interesting to me
Nah, Lupe is the best rapper, lyrically objectively. And it ain't particularly close. You can argue someone like 3000 or Pac makes you feel more. But as for the words and techniques it's a landslide.
I agree, but I do think its pretty close, Aesop Rock is more complex and has a bigger vocabulary, (I think Lupe is better because of rhyme schemes and the fact he has proven he can do many different things lyrically, but its still close) and I'm sure there are rappers you and I have not heard of who are technically as skilled as Lupe. I just don't feel comfortable saying anyone is objectively the best, but if anyone is its probably Lupe
@Cynthionic agree that Aesop is better at what Aesop does than Lu at what Aesop does. But I think it's close there. But Lu also does what MFDOOM does. And what naS does. And what Jay Z does. Etc. That's why I don't think it's particularly close when you consider everything. Like King Los may have better wordplay, may have. But does he do an extended metaphor as well? Royce may be better at multi syllables, may be, but is he nearly as layered (like you pointed out on Failure)? No, not close. naS may be more descriptive in his stories, may be, but how are his entendres?
@@thetruest7497 I do agree with this, like i said if there is a greatest rapper, its Lupe Fiasco, but i think its ultimately down to subjectivity and especially for us who dont rap its hard to tell what really takes the most writing skill, but generally i do agree I think I just dont like making objective statements about who is the “best”
Knox Hill actually reacted to Lupe's Royce da 5'9 diss and did a spectacular job. I love DuaneTV, but he also reacted to Lupe's Royce diss and deleted it shortly after, lol.
Yeah blackish university does a really good breakdown I do highly reccomend checking him out, but ngl I do really love artist like lupe, aesop, and king Los cause they generally show when some reactors have no clue what's going on and others that do
Consuming music the way these first-take YT reacters do is just stupid. There’s some benefits for sure, but it’s more negative than anything. But cant hate on them too much, gotta make a buck somehow
Not every Bar from King Los is comprehensive in order to ascertain his lines you'd have to recognize the technique, which already individuals aren't aware of nor comprehend. That's not including the meaning of his bars. You can't catch the meaning of a bar, but if you don't understand the technique nor literary device then it doesn't count. Also Lil Wayne, Dax, Eminem etc aren't comparable to Los objectively anyways.

Like Vibe Reactions said, "Lupe is the rapper reactors are scared to react to"
Every reactor should only do TimesNuRoman videos for Lupe reactions lmao
I hate reactors like Stevie who can catch like 99% of King Los Bars first listen but gas Tom Macdonald songs 😭😭😭😭
King los and Lupe are the top 2 lyricists of all time but Lupe is just insane
YES
April G. Showers is the best bar breakdown reactor I've found on YT to do Lupe Fiasco songs.
Yes, April is the Bar Queen!!
The Third Ernest is also amazing
Became a fan of him 2022 when i was also 16❤
Im fascinated with this man. You are not alone

When you went straight to Failure I knew this was legit
You've gotta listen to his Pharoah Height project lol. Intro and outro some of his best stuff
I will, Ive already started but actually listening to Lupe, actually getting it takes time
Lupe the 🐐
Interesting you brought up Stevie Knight lol
He had a reaction to Daylyt’s LA Leakers joint. And couldn’t get thru it even with someone helping him catch the bars😂😂
I come to reaction videos to help me with lupes music. It’s hard to find channels that can handle the depth of the bars.
Thats usually what I go to reactions for but with Lupe finding great breakdowns is really hard
@@CynthionicLupe thinks King Los is the greatest and best rapper of all time. even better than himself.
Lupe is most def a top five lyracist.
Lupe = 🐐
Failure is a fucking classiccccc
I've been a fan of Lupe since Tetsuo and Youth first came out in 2015
Blew my mind
Get on that Pharoah Heights ASAP if you haven't yet
You should try to check out Lost in Vegas' Lupe reactions. I think they're the best at bar breakdown.

Will have such great reactions. Because they truly are catching the bars to every level the lines have
Because it was on your list of "havent heard" ... i highly recommend In. The first track off Pharaoh Heights. Peak Lupe for me.
Ive heard it once or twice now but just like passive listening, any good breakdowns of it you recommend?

You lost me when you said best rappers and mentioned Dax 💁🏾♂️
joke…
@@Cynthionic lol same sorry I'm just sensitive about my goats 🙌

A rapper spitting bars that nobody gets is like a comedian telling jokes that nobody laughs at.
Naw, it's like a movie you have to watch again so you can see signs of the plot twist... Like Book of Eli
@@alexanderjackson8389 lol I bet you loved Memento too.
Mumm-Ra Thundercats
Lupe is Top 5 ever
Aesop Rock breaks the reaction format same with Lupe.
