Hands down best rapper alive.

Oops, it's my first time posting on this forum, didn't press the Link button, my apologies...

YES, finally someone else who recognizes a true lyricist.

Lupe's rhymes just flows. Listen to his new L.A.S.E.R.S. album if you can get access to it, he's rapping with a "message".

Full song Conflict diamonds.

wow! do you really think these are good lyrics. that is some simple minded shit.
Cham. is a crossover wanna be mainstream H.I.P. P.O.P. artist geared towards the 12 to 20 year old demographic. I guarantee most people commenting on his clips are in that range and maybe you are too i dunno. Me, I grew out of that wanna be hardcore shit along time ago.
IMO, the best rapper hands down is Masta Ace. Been doin it since early 90's and he's way more clever (not even close) and actually raps about stuff way more meaning full. Theres a story in every song. If you wanna hear grown man rap check out:
Feel Good Track

Metaphor Song

Dopest diss song ever

Uses every letter in the alphabet

All time calssic

Uplifting

The list goes on and on, about 20 years worth of hits that dont get old.

Lil Wayne's got NOTHING on Lupe Fiasco.

and Cham.

cant believe i almost forgot about this song where Masta Ace is reading a page from his diary, in which his diary is pretty much talking shit to himself. So much deeper and so much more thought than anything Cham. has done.

Dear Diary

Cham just hasn't been doing it long enough.  He is definately one of the most talented lyricists in the game. 

 

Yeah Cham is so hardcore that he cusses in maybe one song per album you fucktard

Yeah but I think Lupe sounds like shit.

RAP    Retards Attemp at Poetry       try Mozart, Beethoven , The Beatles............now they made GREAT music not a backwards primative beat that early man moved to. Rap is not music.

But Run DMC made a gret song with Aerosmith...Walk this way.

I actually happen to love classical music.

I agree....rap is scum.  Most of it is dehumanizing, and disrespectful.  Why is any of these opinions racist?  Stop playing that stupid, out dated racist card.  Take responsibility, have some self pride.

who is this guy??

I dunno if anyone has mentioned these guys in the thread, but how about a little known group called Styles of Beyond? From the LA area -- their 2000 Fold album will always be in my "top albums" list

Here's their YouTube channel:

"Easy Back it up" -- great song by Styles of Beyond
