    why when ? bring up sales ? mention Hammer and Ice
    is this a typical IC rebutal for when your fav artists cant sell and you need a crutch to lean on?

    I'm guessing that you're too young to remember when Hammer & Ice were selling tens of millions of albums, and the media were passing them off as REAL hip hop.

    The period of time crystalized for many that sales could never be used as a standard for the art of MCing.

    It's not a crutch man, it's just reality for cats who lived through it.

    Seriously though, if Lupe were to make a public service announcement tonight and claim that he was the most lyrically and conceptually skilled rapper of all time, who would be able to stand up and prove him wrong?

    Who could you really see being like, "Nah kid, I'm better than you", and be Right?

    Few would even dare to challenge him. They know what it is.

    None that you would be willing to accept... so why bother asking?

    Please.
    Don't try to act like I'm a stan. I'm open to anything.

    But you'll have to back them up with something stronger than influence, record sales, or something flimsy like that.

    I'm saying that based on skill and creativity, Lupe is topping pretty much everybody. How the masses accept that skill and creativity is an entirely diff and pretty much irrelevant story.

    Skils and creativity?

    So you're asking for proof with highly subjective catergories?

    Again, you're really not interested in the counter opinion, so I'm not going down that road with you, homie.

    You like that, we like this. Let's just agree to disagree.

    Have a nice day.

    No, I'm quite interested in your counter opinion, which is why I welcomed it.
    And I never asked for proof, I'm well aware of how subjective these things are.
    I'm more interested in the criteria you've used to develop your opinion and how well your candidates meet that criteria versus Lupe.

    I've simply expressed my disbelief in popularity & influence being a reasonable defense, but you're more than welcome to disagree.

    Don't be so quick to dismiss subjective conversation. More often than not it's more about why you think what you do as opposed to what you think.

    Lupe may shy away from beef but batlle ? is not new to dude because thats what he use to do. I remember this interview he did where he said he use to rap like any other ? , AVERAGE, but then he decided if he was gonna go big time he didnt wanna be like everyone else.

    THANK you.

    I think Ross is a false persona. A once-cop turned druglord.

    OR, Lupe could be talking about Ross department stores, although they do have some real brands.
