Yeah, as far as complexity goes, Lupe is #1. He's also great at storytelling, and it's not just the stories themselves, but he gets really creative with the imagination part, as well as the figures of speech he uses (Real Recognize Real>>>>). And last but not least, dude's crazy poetic too. The Coolest :flutter:

Yeah dude. I feel the same way about Lupe that I do Em. If you can honestly say he's not top 5, you are not worthy of this discussion. Either because you don't know what lyrical talent is, or because you gave an opinion on Lupe without even listening to him. He delivers Magna Cartas (and I don't mean Jay Z magna carta shit), in the form of multi-multi-syllable rhymes. If we're talking about the ability to write books in multi-syllable rhyme format, Lupe takes the cake. ALL OF IT.

Nope. This rapper is one of the best lyricist alive today and light years ahead of Lupe.
