Lupe fiasco

[Renegade87]

Probably the only mainstream rapper with decent rhyming skilz



and here's the lyrics.

Now I ain't tryna be the greatest
I used to hate hip-hop... yup, because the women degraded
But Too $hort made me laugh, like a hypocrite I played it
A hypocrite I stated, though I only recited half
Omittin the word "bitch," cursin I wouldn't say it
Me and dog couldn't relate, til a bitch I dated
Forgive my favorite word for hers and hers alike
But I learnt it from a song I heard and sorta liked
Yeah, for the icin, glamorized drug dealin was appealin
But the block club kept it from in front of our buildin
Gangsta rap-based filmings became the buildin blocks
For children with leakin ceilings catchin drippins with pots
Coupled with compositions from Pac, Nas's "It Was Written"
In the mix with my realities and feelings
Living conditions, religion, ignorant wisdom and artistic vision
I began to jot, tap the world and listen, it drop

My mom can't feed me, my boyfriend beats me
I have *** for money, the hood don't love me
The cops wanna kill me, this nonsense built me
And I got noooo place to gooo
They bomb my village, they call us killers
Took me off they welfare, can't afford they health care
My teacher won't teach me, my master beats me
And it huuurts meee soooul

I had a ghetto boy bop, a Jay-Z boycott
'Cause he said that he never prayed to God, he prayed to Gotti
I'm thinkin golly, God guard me from the ungodly
But by my 30th watchin of "Streets is Watchin"
I was back to givin props again and that was botherin
Bout as uncomfortable as an untouchable touchin you
The theme songs that niggas hustle to seem wrong but these songs was comin true
And it was all becoming cool
I found a condom on the ground that Johns would cum into and thought
What constitutes a prostitute is the pursuit of profit then they drop it
The homie in a suit pat her on the butt, then rock it
It seems I was seein the same scene adopted
Prevalent in different things with the witnesses indifferent to stop it
They said don't knock it, mind ya business
His business isn't mine and that nigga pimpin got it

They took my daughter, we ain't got no water
I can't get hired, they cross on fire
We all got suspended, I just got sentenced
So I got noooo place to gooo
They threw down my gang sign, I ain't got no hang time
They talk about my sneakers, poisoned our leader
My father ain't seen me, turn off my TV
'Cause it huuurts meee soooul

So through the Grim Reaper sickle sharpening
Macintosh marketing
Oil field augering
Brazilian adolescent disarmament
Israeli occupation
Islamic martyrdom, precise
Yeah, laser guided targeting
Oil for food bartering, and terrorist organization harborin
Sand camouflage army men
CCF sponsorin, world conquerin, telephone monitorin
Louis Vuitton modelin, pornographic actress honorin
String theory ponderin, bulimic vomitin
Catholic priest fondlin, preemptive bombin and Osama and Obama and them
They breakin in my car again, deforestation and overloggin and
Hennessy and Hypnotic swallowin, hydroponic coughin and
All the world's ills, sittin on chrome 24-inch wheels, like that

They say I'm infected, this is why I injected
I had it aborted, we got deported
My laptop got spyware, they say that I can't lie here
But I got noooo place to gooo
I can't stop eatin, my best friend's leavin
My pastor touched me, I love this country
I lost my earpiece, I hope y'all hear me
'Cause it huuurts meee soooul

2pac was and still is one of the best, but to me there is no best rapper of all time.
it all depends on what kind of mood your in.
2pac and Lupe Fiasco are for deep philosophy shit
Big Pun and Eminen are for commic relieve and head spinning lyrical madness.
Gangstarr and CYNE are for ya sunday chill out vibes, with some good philosophy to.

so it truly depends in what kind of mood you're in.

i knew you would..there's no flaw in my logic

if you were to choose one verse from pac, which one would it be???

mine would be his second one from me against the word.

 

[Ace]

Lupe Fiasco isn't that good 2 me. Right now Lil Wayne, and T-Pain r dominating. They get annoying sumtimes though. >.<

Lil wayne and T-Pain???????
are you serious????

they are exactly what is wrong with hip hop today.
over produced beats with no rhyming skillz what so ever.

Hip hop is about being real and t-pain and that dwarf known as lil wayne are as far away from real as you can get.

lil wayne doesnt even rap, he just mumbles..
seriously.... how can you even think they come close, leave alone are better then Lupe??
i just dont get it

yeah lupe is probably one of the few only new age rappers that i still have respect for

yeah lupe is probably one of the few only new age rappers that i still have respect for

yeah it's a shame what hip hop has become nowadays

Just look at Snoop, he used to be hardcore, but now is no different from all the other mainstream rappers out there.

polished up beats with very poor lyrics....

even eminem who used to be untouchable is now to mainstream and lacks the depth he used to have when he first came out.

to those of you who agree with me, check out ma other thread
