Wayne is a rapper. Lupe is a lyricist. Wayne makes music for the ignorant masses who don't appreciate art. Lupe makes music from the heart, true lyricism and artistry. Wayne sells millions of records cause most rap fans aren't truly into hip hip. Lupe sells less cause the masses don't want art, they want bullshit. So I give Wayne props. He has a place in rap. But true "heads" know Lupe is one of the top 10 lyricists of all time. Do we all agree?

***** Word, his ideology has been a bit contradictory to his actions a bit lately too. For instance speaking out against or outright shitting on artists who brag about certain things or promote certain life styles. But then openly promotes Drake to the point that he's now dedicated a day of the week & a new song to him/the ladies (Drizzy's Law). I'd like to think that he's trolling.....but if it's an act it's a bit TOO convincing.

Many of his songs started off "Oh girl I mis you *cry cry*" and then the verses turned into "But we getting money, fuckin bitches n'shit" then back to "but none of them mean as much to me as you do *cry*....No but really guys I'm a thug who really struggles....Honest". Drake is the very thing Lupe has been preaching against up to this point.

I used to buy a bunch of bullshit when I was a teenager myself. With maturity, hopefully comes the ability to discern art from commercial music. Artists: NAS, ANDRE 3000, TALIB, MOS DEF, COMMON, KRS-1, RHYMFEST, GURU, LUPE, and many more. To those true hip hop artists, 1 luv!
