Dude I'm a big fan of Lupe man.. love his ****, his rhymes... but overall RIGHT NOW.. Weezy's stuff is better. He spits fire on every track, his rhymes are ridicilous, he's featured on every remix of every song.. see where I'm getting at? I see Lupe as more of a conscious rapper... his main single this year was about two skateboarders falling in love? He's in his own category.. he doesn't rap about "hip hop stuff" whatsoever cause thats not Lupe's style.skiptomylou;2395942 said:I'm guessing you haven't listened to any of his mix tapes. His CD was definitely nice, but his best comes from the mix tapes. Plus, besides from being the best lyricist right now, he doesn't have to rap about the normal hip-hop ****, he can actually rap about other stuff. Which in my opinion gives him much more depth than Wayne.
I'll admit Wayne is good, though. He definitely grew out of the horrible Hot Boyz crap-rap group and is holding his own solo. He has good lyrics, and raps some real stuff every once in a while, but I don't think you've listened to Lupe enough. He outdoes him in just about everything, freestyling, originality, fluidity, content, you name it.
I'm not even talking about all-time... just currently. Like I said... "illest rapper out there right now" and that's Weezy.Gerrard 17;2395945 said:Weezy is hot right now but he is not the best rapper alive. If you're looking at songs put out in the last 2 or 3 years then yeah maybe.
And no Lupe isn't better. Definitely not T.I. either. T.I. can make good songs, but so does Young Jeezy or Chamillion but there's really nothing that truly sets them apart from other rappers.
Nobody can hold a candle to Nas, even though his recent **** isn't nearly as good as it used to be. He's the only rapper who's allowed to compare himself with Biggie or Pac.
I totally disagree.. never been a big TI fan but I appreciate the albums you mentioned.. but both the Carter I and II are way above those albums in value.. at least for me. Like I said most of Wayne's best stuff is not of his commercially released albums..ShiftyPowers;2395996 said:Fair enough. I definitely like I'm Serious, Trap Muzik, and King the best, and two of those were put out awhile ago. But I don't think the Carters and Like Father Like Son compare to those albums.

And yeah about Ghostface, a lot of people forget that Wu Tang is still around when talking about best rappers alive. Ghostface is ill so is Raekwon and GZA... Cuban Links 2 should be comin out some time soon hopefully.
ShiftyPowers;2396166 said:Actually I haven't listened to Mixtape Messiah III, but I know what to expect, Cham is the greatest freestyler since the inception of freestyling. Sound of Revenge was sick and I KNOW his new album will be just as good. Once Cham has 4 albums out he is going to be the Godfather. He's going to be a total legend on par with Biggie.
Gerrard 17;2398733 said:and his new album is droppin next week.
YES. This is how I start out my day every morning... track 1. **** is sick. As for his voice people have said that about other talented rappers (AZ coms to mind).BayernBoz;2400939 said:
