He's definitely a great rapper, just his personal views turned me off. My man thought/thinks Obama is a terrorist.

Top 10...would be DOA if he had stuck to his formula a little better.

But lyrically he's one of the best...if not the best. It's not debatable so spare me your opinions.

I'll just leave this here.

He's the prime example of someone whose a beast at rapping but not a great songwriter. And songs are what takes you further. But he's still big in the underground so he's in a nice place.

Lupe is good af. There were some times i doubted him no lie but he still on it.

He's alright. He isn't underrated, he's getting the praise he deserves. People like Logic and Immortal Tech are REAL underrated rappers, not Lupe lmao

Logic and immortal technic in the same line tho? :lol. Immortal technique is a god lyrically compared to Logic. He's just too lyrical for his generation is all.

I was giving an overview of what underrated means. Immortal Tech is far more popular then Logic, so in one context you can say they are both equally underrated in terms of their skill: popularity ratio. But yea, tech is lyrically superior to 99% of the 'legend' rappers.

Exactly this. Despite my disagreement with some of his political views, he is still someone I would listen to all day.
