Lupe Calls Himself The Best Rapper

Friday, September 02 2011 3:19 PM EST | Posted by: Amaya | Posted in: Blog, Live Show

Lupe returned to his native Chicago yesterday and at the 4:20 mark, planted his flag on The Throne, Lil Wayne and Drake. After all, two is not a winner and three nobody remembers.

“When you’re done Watching The Throne, turn around and watch me, when you’re done with the Carter 4 come back to me for more, when you’re done with that Drake, no, I ain’t trying to hate but I’m back up on my grind and I’m about to skaaaaate on these niggas…Put it on your blog and your tumblrs on your twitters that Lupe said that he’s the best, NIGGA.”

    lupe’s flow and world play is GOAT level…. fuck YMCMB

  2. Marc says:

    Truth! Proof!

    Util Andre drops that solo album.

  3. Buju "From Jail" Banton says:

    Lupe…. no classic albums to his name….. no classic street or club songs….. just a great mc… far from the best IMO

  4. IMO says:

    I like lupe, he’s probably best out lyrically today but he lacks a few things that keep him from actually being the best imo, honestly his ego is starting to hit kanye levels -__-

  5. Empire says:

    “no classic albums to his name”

    Um… what in the world were Food And Liquor and The Cool?

  6. ZePequeno says:

    That’s the hunger Lupe needs. I like where this is going…

  7. NuJew says:

    ^Those aren’t classics, just very good albums

    Smh

  8. Buju "From Jail" Banton says:

    In regards to Jay an K, The cool was his best album and it still can’t hold up to timeless material like a reasonable doubt, blueprint or a college drop out, MBDTF

    In regards to Weezy and Drake lupe has never taking over the streets and the mainstream media like these to have.

  9. supppppppp says:

    Lupe, what the fuck is you sippinnnnnnnnnn’?
    Cole best out right now — Eminem/Jay/Nas the GOATs.

  10. Kill says:

    Food And Liquor and The Cool are not only classics, they’re 2 of the best albums to come out in the past decade, in ANY genre. Smh @ the slow class in here.

  11. cloud9 says:

    Give The Cool time, that will most definitely be a classic.

  12. asdf says:

    Best NIgga not GOAT, that belongs to Eminem

  13. Pauper says:

    Lupe killed kanye on “touch the sky” and jay on “pressure”.

  14. [...] RR via LupEnd Categories: Videos [...]

  15. IMO says:

    he got nice songs but alot (not all) of his stuff lack any replay value

  16. Pedro says:

    lasers is wack

  17. stillR.E.D says:

    Lupe doesnt have a classic.

  18. catcher freeman says:

    i think his next album will be classic!!!Ya remember the last time he was on a rampage like this he released “fire” with the jimi hendrix sample which is crazy. for some reason though this nigga is always overlooked.

    Fire – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhjmcH6rUBA

    “Im as bout as uncool as a nieces mothers biggest brother.”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

  19. pap3rchazer says:

    cmon lupe, you cant call yourself the best if you aint willing to compete with the best. what battles have you won???

  20. supppppppp says:

    Lupe doesn’t have a classic album. Only his fans believe that, just like how Budden fans think all the MM mixtapes are classics. They don’t have the impact/influence. They are nothing special, they’re just good (and pretentious) albums.
    They will never be in the same vein as Illmatic, Ready to Die, Reasonable Doubt, or MMLP.

  21. supppppppp says:

    Lupe feeds off confused kids who want to be down. That’s basically it. I don’t know how else to sum this dude up.

  22. Jazz says:

    there ya go Lupe get ur balls back!!

    there’s no denying his mixtapes and Food & Liquor are legit classics..remember his buzz and how fuckin dope he was when he was first coming out? he’s gotta get back to that

  23. Webster says:

    Game doesn’t have a single album that’s better than either FNL or The Cool.
    Lil Wayne doesn’t have a single album that’s better than either FNL or The Cool.
    Rick Ross doesn’t have a single album that’s better than either FNL or The Cool.
    T.I. doesn’t have a single album that’s better than either FNL or The Cool.
    Drake definitely doesn’t have an album that’s better than FNL or The Cool.

    Really, his only competition is Jay and Kanye.

  24. REDROCBOY says:

    LET’S GO!!!! LUPE THE KILLER!!

  25. Converse says:

    This fool mustve been sipping on the jim bean? or has been hanging out with fish dick a lil to much? prolly why he diss Obama? pieces to the puzzle are now aligning
    ^

    Sn: nobody watching you and never will

  26. Converse says:

    Who????

    Answer: who gives a shit

  27. Buju "From Jail" Banton says:

    Oh yeah, as much as I hate this word, beside not having any classic albums or club or street anthems, This nigga LUPE HAS NO SWAGG.

    I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WIT THE MUSIC, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT BIG WIT HIS DRUG DEALER PERSONA, PAC WITH HIS THUG PERSONA, JAY AND YE AS TRENDSETTER, WHERE THE FUCK DOES LUPE FALL??? BORING ASS NERD WHO CAN SPIT? NAHH YOU GOTTA BRING MORE TO THE TABLE

  28. King Mathers says:

    When Lupe can make a CLASSIC like: MMLP, Illmatic, Doggystyle, Reasonable Doubt, All Eyez On Me, Enter the 36 Chambers, Blueprint, Ready to Die, SSLP, etc then come speak to me about being anywhere near a GOAT

  29. AMc says:

    @Webster what about Nas, the Wu and anyone else who made legit classix? Just bc YM and Roc Nation are the biggest in the game right now doesnt mean shit. time is the real test, and Lupe wont pass that.

  30. Jus Sayin' says:

    I listened to Lasers once all the way through without skipping a song and after that day I never listened to it again. “Rolling Papers” & “Lasers” are the worst hip hop albums of the year. Jus’ Sayin.

  31. damone says:

    Drake and Wayne have Zero classics either. Jay had 4 RD, BP, BA, WTT. Some my say AG.

  32. Jaymalls says:

    LAMO… what more can i say (Just Blaze Sample). This nigga isnt fooling anyone with this shit. His food and liquor album was great, the cool was okay… had like 4 really good songs… Lasers…. no comment! YOu gotta crawl before you can walk Lupe!!!

  33. AMc says:

    one more thing… L.ove A.lways S.hines E.verytime R.emember 2 S.mile! Corny ass acronym for a corny ass mc. Dudes talented dont get me wrong but 0 for 3 on classic albums. sorry u played urself peace

  34. pap3rchazer says:

    i’ll give lupe the best “book smart” rapper. as far as music, i dont think you cant transcend intelligence to creativity. if stephan hawkins’ hobby was painting, would the art world hold him to acclaim???

  35. Belize says:

    nigga is trash

  36. FTW says:

    To be safe Lupe’s picking on people he knows he can destroy lyrically.

    He would say that shit to the Thorntons or the Thedfords.

    ….pick on somebody your own size (c)

  37. pap3rchazer says:

    @FTW yuuup! Lupe killed soulja boy on “SLR” (Super Lupe Rap)

  38. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Lupe > Wayne. He aint lying dudes think wayne is a legend HA!

  39. dll32 says:

    how lame is it to call yourself the best….pffff….what a joke

  40. Webster says:

    @AMc

    Nobody in the Wu-Tang Clan has an album that’s better than either FNL or The Cool.
    Nas… well, Nas is the GOAT.

  41. SmokeYou says:

    And then everyone pointed and laughed at him. LOL Lupe always talking out of his vagina

  42. Phil says:

    @damone Wtt is whack! Stop lying stan. Also Resonable doubt is whack to im a leader not a follower.

    And to the Kanye stan Mdbtf is whack! Beats made that whack shit

  43. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    “how lame is it to call yourself the best….pffff….what a joke”…If im correct Wayne called himself “Best Rapper Alive”.

  44. Hip-Hop Is alive says:

    C2 is a classic! I mean every track go hard and has a ton of replay value.

  45. Hip-Hop Is alive says:

    @Zoom He was at that time,also i can tell youre a hater.

  46. damone says:

    phil its a hiphop site. No lady gaga in here.

  47. DZA says:
