Jay-Z said it best, He's a breathe of fresh air

[Altimate13]

@PRtoRP During his short tenure at Arista, he did meet Jay-Z, who was the president of Def Jam Recordings at the time. Jay-Z referred to him as a "breath of fresh air", saying that he reminded him of a younger version of himself. Jay-Z would go on and help him get a record deal at Atlantic Records.[20] While he was working on the music for his new album, he released his critically acclaimed mixtape series Fahrenheit 1/15 over the internet.

Lupe is a god....as a poet and a musician. How the mind of his works the way it does is really incredible.

Finally proven, dont let me laugh.

All on purpose supersophisticated substantials on life do not become talents at all, they remain failures, no matter why.

The problem with Lupe is after he's released his album it will take another year or 2 for th hip hop world to wake up and go, this guy is a Legend and really realise the legacy of what he's done and appreciate the quality of it, look at the track the cool, ain't ever heard something so vivid so deep, the guy is just amazing
