Trials and Tribulations was supposed to be on the original version of F&L. The one that was leaked. He re-released it because the beat was too crucial to give up. He wasnt tryna outshine him, he was just trying to make a new album since it got leaked. Do your research.
Man lupe is the tha pure definition of greatness fa'real. I honestly think tha reason why most ppl dont listen to him is because they cant dance to his shyt like the music of someone like solja boi lol.

Hell yea, he's hands down one of the best in the game. But because he's not talkin about shootin niggas, how much cash he got, and all the hoes he fucks, he doesn't get much airplay which is sad. Lupe is hip hop in its finest form
i like lupe but to say he is the best main stream hip hop rapper is going way to far what about common? talib kwali? most def? they murder free styles effortlessly and molded the way for rappers like...lupe
I guess Lupe broke da mold then huh? Lupe is the best ever. No one is on his level.Lupe really is the highest level artist in da rap game. Not even Hova, Nas or Em can hold this nigga.
Jay was my favorite artist until i witnessed Mr Fiasco's lyrical prowess. Not even jay can do what lupe has done. we can go bar for bar, concept for concept or song for song pick ya poison
That's debatable, but Trials and tribulations verses are better than Jay's verse on pressure. why he chose to use some otha verses, i do not understand. perhaps he didn't wanna embarass the "greatest rapper" with his first album, lol
Nah son, Trial and Tribulations is the original version of Pressure. Look at how he spits, he spits more 'hood-like', "FNF on the come-up, like the last bullet in the clip" that's his younger style. After Jay started exec-producin his shit, then he decided to let jay get on the song. Trials and tribulations is the first version of that song. why would he try to diss jay and take him off the track. only wayne's gay ass would do some pussy shit like that. But Jay-Z did go hard, don't get me wrong.
my nigga lupe is definitely killin tha game harder than wayne(not to doubt waynes shine)
however, i wouldnt put lupe further up the list than Hova the god. it goes: Jay-Z, Kanye, then Lupe...Top 3 rappers in the game. idc who u put after that as long as that remains.
No No. Looking through binocular's the regular way makes things look close when they are farther away. If you turn them around, then things that are actually close up, look like they are farther away.
Hence the line... " So close, but yet so far at the same time."
newsflash...lupe isnt GOING to take over hip-hop....HE HAS HAD IT ON LOCK FOR TIMMMMEEE NOW.....he already has 2 classic albums (one of which he made twice, and both the leak the retail versions of F&L are RIDDDDONKULOUS) and atleast 3 classic ass mixtapes....not to mention all of his features....the man is atop the game right now, and if your not onto him, get going....
this is sick, his level of lyrics is just unmatched, after pac, rakim, nas and the other legends, I realy believe Lupe is the best, no one over tops him when it comes down to lyrics, just listen to failure en twilight zone, this man is sick...

Not even Jay-Z could come up with a freestyle like that. The vocabulary that Lupe possesses is crazy & his flow is completely different. That's what I love about freestyles, a rapper's true skills are displayed. If only the common consumer had enough brain power to process what Lupe is saying then he would probably stay in the rap game a little longer.
Lupe can sound like this when he freestyles because when you write bars like Lupe does for a long time it becomes second nature to you. Lupe is a monster probably the best pure/real rapper in this mainstream "hip-Hop" today.
yeah that shit was ridiculous.. you may have heard me i was that nigga yellin "LUPE THA KILLA" that was a hot ass show... beside optimist some shit like that he was weak... Lu threw down
Just for references sake it's NEBULIZATIONS, not nebulations. lupe's referring to when something's nebulized it's reduced to a really small atomic nature. so i goes in with the whole chemical thing, ya dig??
i waz there and it waz sooooooooo hot!! he killed it. i bet other cities he went 2 wish he had technical difficilties there too so they could get a hot freestyle from Lu. lol

Lupe = Greatness.
He said in that new acapella freestyle that he cant wait to get in the booth with Jay Electronica.
Lupe + Jay Electronica = Unstoppable Lyricist
Those two cats can lyrically put rappers in the ground.
Also, before people call Lupe the best rapper alive. Nas is still living and Mos Def is still living.
earlmccormick88 1 year ago
Lupe is the best one among those that somehow moved through the underground movement to establish themselves as commercial rappers.
Fuck Kanye, Fuck Drake, Fuck Weezy.
This is how you become a legend.
