Joy Daily talks to Lupe Fiasco about being compared to Nas

[hnoors]

Funny.. I guarantee most of the people that commented have never heard Lupe's work.. I've heard every song from both artists, and both my favorite emcees of all time. but honestly. everybody is acting like it's impossible for the student to be better than the teacher. I mean I grew up listening to Lupe, but Food & Liquor is the best album I ever heard, better than Illmatic(yes, I know what I said lol). but that's my opinion, Everyone is entitled to their own. peace.

[DAHRealTrump]

NO AUDIO GUYS DONT WASTE UR TIME LOOKING AT THIS VID!

[jojo199335]

I don't know whos better but I think nas provided the platform for lupe so you really can't compare them, they rap different. They are both dope, it knida like a mentor student thing. My two fav. rappers.

[TheTurbanTV]

nas should be compared to lupe..

[RizYak]

There's no audio?



[xfactor0693]

Whats with the audio?

[rohanmimo]

Did some of u dumb fucks really say lupe is better than nas??? That's disrespectful to hip hop, it's not even an opinion, that just a jack ass thing to say ( but then again some of y'all think yall "know" hip hop)

[babycarrot21]

I think Lupe is better than Nas

[MrKobedoinwork]

@babycarrot21 delete your account now lupe is good but not better than nasty nas!!!

[arizonatea1234567]

@MrKobedoinwork lmao that nigga a fool illmatic like the best album ever

[generaljive]

As far as being an MC goes on a scale of 1 to 10 when you get to artists that are in the 8,9,10 range who is best is really based on your favorite. Nas & Lupe are 10's to me, but I just prefer Lupe, after hearing their entire bodies of work.

[busymike]

Nas and Lupe need to do a song.

[pretty510]

I meant don't "understand"!!!!

[pretty510]

Damn smh what happened? What has hip hop come to?!! People need to understand that they do "understand" a topic. Lupe Fiasco is better than NAS?! WTF?! Smh may god bless this persons mental skillset. DONT EVER COMPARE LUPE or any of these young cats to greatness muthafucka!!!! Should get smoked saying shit like that! Don't disrespect illmatic or this hip hop culture like that! Fareal!

[BranSWED]

@pretty510 you're obviously retarded, so i'll excuse those comments you just made about nas being on the same level as lupe.

In comparison to any other rapper? Nas beats them out

Lupe? Nas can't touch him lyrically, and i love nas.

[eatmars]

@BranSWED

i hate comparisons especially if your comparing twins. Now if you comprae Lil Wayne or Drake between this two then we have a debate.

[BranSWED]

@eatmars you're not comparing twins, nas is obviously the older brother.. years older. but lupe has him beat on a lyrical level, and lupe's favorite rapper? nas.

[TheSinghFIRE]

@BranSWED lupe has not beaten Nas on a lyrical level. Nas at the age of 18 was better than Lupe Fiasco. Illmatic was recorded around Nas was 18-21. Have you heard of a track called Deja Vu, Nas was like 18 when he did it. lyrically i don't anyone can possibly touch him besides of rakim and Krs-ONE. but still lupe is dope lol

[SLRTJS]

@Razzle9438 well if you'd been actually paying attention to what i said you'd see that i feel the same way, Lupe is better in my opinion so why would he want to be on Nas' level in the 1st place...reading is fundamental IDIOT

[simbah667]

Lupe and Nas don't have the same universe.

They're both lyrical genius, and it's all they got together

[razzle9438]

lupe aint near nas thats ridiculous he WILL CRUSH NAS

[Nigger115]

@razzle9438 wow what are you smokin

[razzle9438]

@Nigger115 ahahahahhahha skip you and nas

[SLRTJS]

@ CowboyKilla89

true bc Nas is evil. I hope Lupe never reaches Nas' "level"

[razzle9438]

@SLRTJS you hope that while your a hater SKIP NAS HE HAS TALENT BUT NOT LIKE LUPE FIASCO HIS LYRICS MAKE YOU THINK they make me feel good no homo but nas just be babbling

[SLRTJS]

@razzle9438

wtf? if your gonna try to make a point, try making sense 1st. where in my comment do you see me "hating" on anyone? No one ever said Nas didnt have talent, in fact I think its more than that, I just dont listen to those who use their "talents" for the wrong side.

[razzle9438]

@SLRTJS dude im not sayin nas is the best im saying lupe is better thats all IDIOT

[lupENDboy]

wtf man! i wanna hear the interveiw! fck dis shiit fckin epic fail u fucker! i just wanted to see the fuckin vid!

[LacuestaFiesta]

ahh man i really want Lupe to keep making his hip hop music...... is all because the new hip hop music doesn't make any sense anymore, because they all rappin about the same things

[trackstr400]

WHAT KINDA BULLSHIT IS THIS? First i gotta sit thru a rock song when it's obvious that i wanna hear about hip hop, only to Get complete silence through the rest of the shit. FUCK YOU, EPIC FAIL.!!!!!!

[lupENDboy]

lol word man ha ha wtf?!?

[MukumL]

ANNDDD where's the sound ,_,

[Eluded]

Am I the only one who can't hear the sound of the interview?

[CowboyKilla89]

lupe is prolly the best "new" rapper out there today... his style is like nas, but to compare him to nas is just crazy... Lupe is no where near Nas' level

[nikobelic41]

i guess lupe fiasco would be considered the the modern nas since he's one of the few rapper talking about real things

[Breado2]

true

[weskateuhate]

true but hes retiring.

[DaHipHopAdvocate]

Nas and Lupe Fiasco definately droppin' knowledge and it's definately what Hip Hop needs

[pyromaster123]

well, I definately think he is the modern day Nas for everyone lookin for real hip-hop. And he we definately lay the track for rap artists in the future. It's really a cycle. The only difference is real artists today are not aknowleged as much as they were in the past. Lupe deserves more exposure oppose to many other rap artists i see in mainstream today.

[lexsa345]

to 12 year olds like me lupe fiasco is nas

[goldmn480]

esco lets go

[dat1youngdude]

if he freestyled the coolest then were preety dum dam that song takes a few listens to break down lyrically

[0488490291]

[Eyedle73]

[MusicHardcorePoet]

He's right, Nas is Da Vinci of Hip Hop. Lupe is great, too

[Eden2Gethsemane]

That makes his music even more valuable, becuase you can throw it in months later and find something new to appreaciate.

[choonhachat]

Its getting too deep that Im starting to get annoyed tryna listen to same song over and over to really hear what he's trying to say LOL

But still, the man's real talented at that
