    You can probably make the argument that he should be considered right now. Lasers really put him back in terms of advancement so did a couple of the mixtapes that came out over the last few years. If he gets back to executing the concepts that he has for his albums; like he did with F&L and The Cool, then he should be. So I agree.

    I don't think homie should get points taken away for using a vast vocab, he is not going Can-I-Bus on anyone.

    This is rapping, not writting. And all words in your vocab are up for use, even if the listener does not understand it. Use a dictionary if you don't understand the word, better yourself!

    Why can't Lupe just be a dude with a solid catalog why does he have to be the GOAT of 2000s or whatever the ? . Why do y'all have to take ? to the extreme.

    Not sure anything is being taken to the extreme.

    I think it's a valid question, better than threads about MMG or YMCMB being the best of what hip-hop has to offer, when they don't really contribute anything positive to the game.

    Greatest of All Time , Classic, etc. is taking it to the extreme . Also folding under the pressure of label influence is

    not positive

    @MCTheRapper

    Well I took the question as "Should he be considered one of best of the 2000's". GOAT is a subjective term in Hip-Hop as there are no Muhammad Ali's out this ? . And not sure if you know how this works; but Lupe don't own the music he turns into the label, they decide for themselves what is released. And "? Bad" is more positive than most of the ? released nowadays on any label from any mainstream team.

    Still say it is a valid question. And I don't think he has commercially released a classic yet, F&L advance was pretty close though.

    He's already top 3 ever all time on my list. So him dropping a third classic will only help him on list.

    1. 2Pac
    2 .Joe Budden
    3. Lupe
    4. Nas
    5. Kanye

    his actions speak louder than his words do how you samson with ur ink pen but when its time to stand up for some

    ? outside of releasing some obvious ? in a song then you don't do nothing on OH the label made me do it ? .

    How you a corporate sponsored revolutionary ? ? Rick Ross' Hold me back is more positive if we being honest.

    Did you really just say a Rick Ross song talking about his fake drug come up was more positive than "? Bad"?

    SMFH, and your the one complaining about GOAT and Classics, really?

    Can't think of anyone better cept Kanye musically, so yeah. Then again, only thing we got of value from the 2000s is learning how to dance and be Big Meech and Larry Hoover, so he don't have much comp.

    Lupe is trying too hard. He could be dope if he found a real place to spit from. He just isn't as smart as he wants to be. He should ease up on politics and spit some real ? . Intruder alert was dope. So was switch.
