This issue in rap about who the Goat is, is corny to me. There always has to be a number one. To me different rap Artists do different things. Nas is a great storyteller, Scarface is a great story teller, Eminem is great at lyricism, Tech9ne is a great all around Artist who makes a variety of music, lyrical, high energy, emotional, Busta Rhymes is similar, Lupe is great at triple entredres, lyrically layered content, Currensy is the Vibe King, a one man playlist, Lil Wayne is the eccentric lyricist, Kendrick the poetic lyricist, JCole the Everyman, I could go on and on but each artist enchances the genre and I can't say one is the better than them all Let's appreciate our Artists but everyone has their favorites.

It's absolutely fascinating watching the difference in persona and style of speaking between this interview and his lecture at MIT. Felt like a totally different person, one was soft spoken and polite, almost lawyerly. The man here is confident and smooth, but in a street way, a little more violent and harsh sounding in the tone of his voice. But they're both polished. He uses incredibly well educated language in both instances. He sounds cultured and intelligent, he sounds like a true artist. I really enjoyed this interview

What about The Cool also having filler whilst T&Y doesn’t. Anyway, i hope you’re not saying The Cool is better because it was more accessible, as if that equates to quality.

Same here, Lupe South African life fan 🌍

Since 2006 this man has given us precept upon precept like no other artist period! He’s wave lengths ahead of being the best rapper. We talking like one of the best minds that just happens to rap.

"Culture is meant to be commodified.." I have been saying that for all my adult life. The point of culture is to export it, so that more people can use it to become successful interacting with other people.

Exactly... And that is what has hurt black people for years... From Haiti to America

Tetsuo and Youth is the greatest Album EVER! T.R.O.N.

I don't know much about the guest but I will pay respect to any artist that demonstrates their art and integrity are more important than the money or fame that they might have been on offer. And especially the ones that did it for the long haul. See Robert Plant, Jonathan Richman, Billy Holliday (Strange Fruit) or Nina Simone. All those people are way cooler than the Rolling Stones just because they aren't sell outs. Compare Lupe Fiasco to Jay-Z, I wonder who has a more fulfilling life? When the guest got interested in painting he came at it from a place of respect and humility, apprenticing with more accomplished painters, apparently learning how knowledgeable people approach the art form. That is a serious person. Take it from the man.

Good to see Lupe promote the record. Nobody is on his level 🐐

I love this interview, the growth and how Lupe carries himself it's really poetics about him. #LASER!!!

Every Lupe interview has gems in it. Always appreciative.

Dots and Lines is easily one of the smartest songs ever written… it is a flawless record

Wow, love this dude. So real, honest and very intelligent….gotta find more interviews of him. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Lupe's universe, man. It is so unique and complex. Not accessible at all, unlike Tyler's, but once you get inside, damn, it is a rewarding entrance.

My favorite rapper followed by J.I.D lol i like how he controls the pace of convos sometimes i can't tell if he trolling with intelligent or the intelligence feels like trolling because it's flying over my head at times 😂

Father forgive me for waiting so long to listen to this album. Drill Music in Zion is a masterpiece.

I smiled when he shout out Max when he mentioned wavy 🙂 Lu know

Chicago legend 💎 He's been superstar famous and musically remained consistent throughout the years. Don't get it twisted y'all, he's always been that guy.

I wish people in the comments actually commented on the stuff he talked about in this video.

The album is fire btw. Him doing it in 3 days is even more fire.

I remember listening to the Enemy of the State mixtape back in high school when it dropped. Then I started listening to The Cool & found my way through his catalogue. Glad he's talking about ownership & how hip-hop should be embraced like fine art because his raps were like straight poetry to me. "Words I Never Said," "Kick, Push," "Paris Tokyo," & "I'm Beamin'" inspired me even to this day.
