Nah, he just out here dropping gems for those of us who ready, he aint out here trying to impress anyone or be famous. That shit aint its all hyped. out to be. Do what you love, with people who are real, that's all you need.He has had and could still have all that love if he wanted to put himself out like that.

The man is like MF Doom, the reals know that he is a goat, top 5 for sure.
That DROGAS Wave though..... that's a gigantic record that the media slept on. I want a whole doc on that one. Never thought I'd see Hip Hop be able to be more cinematic than a Pink Floyd record. Incredible work!

I agree but u also gotta understand there’s no way an album like drogas wave would get media attention. It was always gonna belong in the underground category.

@@t-4579 I am considering every factor of rap like flow, lyricism, wordplay, influence, discography and production. According to those factors, lupe is top 25 or 20, just one song called "Mural" and sort of complex lyricism doesn't determine your greatness, their are more factors of rap than "lyricism" and no i am not even considering sales or anything price related

Rob called the “seldom” but it’s “models” backwards. Which is “sledom” which is to be taken as “slay dem”, a term the modeling community uses.
