    1. I’ve been waiting for DX to put this up here… It’s been out for 12 hours.. but anyway…

      I am kinda of curious to how soulja boy will reply…

      Will he come Super Duper Swaggin Unlyrical…

      Soulja Boy probably will take this as a physics quiz… He’s finna skip class…

      I just got my Report Card… Throw Some D’s on Dat Bitch

      1. why do excited rap fans always get some homosexual shit to express how much they like something? What is that??

        Anyway.. great shit!

    2. “Next up is crustaceans and fast food allows/
      The beef is all the same its just how they kill the cows/”

      Who is seein this cat on his level?

      1. its “fast food halals.” Halal meat is what muslims eat kinda like kosher meat to jews. Like he said the meat is the same it just how you kill the cows.

    3. LUPE JUST WENT DUMB ON THIS SHIT… HE IS MY TOP 5 RAPPER… SOULJA BOY CANT COME BACK WITH NUTHEN..HE SHOULDNT HAVE OPENED HIS MOUTH IN THE FIRST PLACE… SOULJA BOY BOUT TO GET RIPPED TO SHREDS…SOULJA BEEN HANGING WITH 50 TO LONG… DONT START NUTHEN WONT B NUTHEN!!

    4. lupe ur lyrics give hope to rap music, keep it up man. love the shout out to cook county. represent man. keep doin ur thing smart rap is where its at. keep firing at those lames in the main stream sayin they are the shit. no ones got shit on LU. LUPE THA KILLA CHI_TOWNS FINEST

    5. THANK YOU THANK YOU! Lupe Fiasco you are the man on the mic! This is hip-hop to me. Straight spitting intelligent rhymes that inspire people. Help build the people not bring them down through negative garbage. THE COOL! WE ARE LASERS! keep shining.

    6. OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
      this shit makes no sense, Lupe just murdered this track then committed suicide and murdered it again. Lupe Best rapper hands DOWN!

    7. Thank you Soulja Boy for pissing Lupe off and bringing the world this good music…Kanye, J.Cole, i know you hear my footsteps

      “Ye what these niggas talking bout?/A Jesus in the desert walk, a dundee walk about/ self-imposed exile, let the awesome out/ even if I was homeless, I would still have an awesome house, the world is mine/Lupe to the rescue, the world is fine/ words & lines of mine I feel r better than every rapper in the world…COMBINED!!!”

      WTFFFFF Lupe tell em how you really feel…Murder,Death,Kill.

    8. A two album Jay-Z, A one nigga Wu-Tang/
      Young n hungry MosDef, a conscious rapping Lil Wayne/

      I don’t care for similarities/
      Cuz I’m a pioneer not a parody/

      SUPER SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    9. 2001: Jay Z actin all tough and callin out Nas. Nas comes out wit Ether and murders his ass with brutal personal attacks.

      2010: Soulja Boy actin all stupid and callin out Lupe. Lupe comes out wit SLR and murders his ass with brutal intelligence.

      Different approaches, same result.

      1. Don’t compare Soulja Boy to Jay-Z even if you’re not a fan of Jay hes one of the most successful in the game. I don’t want to see Soulja Boy get even close to that level

    10. pure fire. Lupe is killin it. Currently, he and J. Cole are the best lyrically. Kanye is the best artist. Eminem is killin the charts. Hip hop is alive and well.

      Lasers!

    11. People wanna mention the best lyricists in the game but always leave Shad off the list. Lupe’s incredible but Shad’s the best hands down

      1. you know you got dropped on your head when you were a kid if your callin LUPE whack
        GTFO wit that shit bitch

    12. “I don’t want to be super-Lupe-Fiasco-lyrical and niggas don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about.” — Soulja Boy

      Haha, atta boy Lupe.

    13. wow and now i just heard the whole song. and he still manages to surprise me. This dude is GOAT. I dont care who your favorite rapper is…DID You hear this song!?

    14. people never say their opinion and when you do your hatin lol it was deep and all that good lupe stuff .. but as a whole it wasnt a great songs its like a 3/5 compared to the great lupe tracks

      1. This is HipHop. All it takes is an opinion to get served. This ain’t about “hate”, this is about skills and not letting some bitch-made ringtone pop star have your name coming out of his mouth sideways.

      1. drakes one of the worst I ever heard even Lil wayne is better than him fs n hes down there with the worst mcs of all time

    15. This is what makes Lupe one of the greatest..how does he respond?..By making more lyrical scripture that would fry Souljas small ass brain..5 all day!!

    16. do I need to say anymore. I think that deserves some fine British tea and the beat scones that money can buy. Damn round of applause for mr fiasco

    17. lupe defo top 5 n fukk soulja boy, people with an intellect can understand his rhymes that bitch ass. Lupe will still be at the top in years to come and soulja already washed up!

    18. What up yall, is this D Rado, a rap artist from Fresno, CA, check out my music @ listn.to/drado, post a comment and let me know what you think, thanks. Or go to myspace.com/drado7

    19. God DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN WTf Did Soulja Boy just ended by ! song its over please put this on LASERS. Lupe just killed this song. This was better than Ether srry its true. Nas couldn’t do this one.

    20. Drizzy way better homie.
      Drizzy got out of rapin/acting school,Degrassi

      Drake got bars for days, penintatiory
      Drake uses da blackberry he dont need a pen, lupe fiasco

      Drake Raps for da bitches and still gets respect in da hood, 2pac

      DRIZZYY DRAKE HUH

      1. Shut the fuck up u main stream fuck. u couldn’t understand rap if hit u in da head lupe is better than Young money combined. Please knw hip hop before u say stupid shit.

      2. Ay nigga i know more hip hop then you.
        Lupe cool
        but Drake just better ya dig.
        smh gosh bitch ass nigga stop hating.
        Drizzy a young lil nigga he gots way to go
        Lupe older then him.
        like my nigga pac said
        “To all you old rappers trying to advance, its over now take it like a man”
        and one day lupe finna have to take it like a man wayyy before drake.

        so fuck u, yo momma, and that bs chair you sitting on.

        and its not like im puttin drizzy on top of the rap game or in any top ten like yall fags doing out here putting lupe in like dat.

        and Nas>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> both them niggaz combined or alone he dont even need to write a full 16 fr them.

      3. You can’t spell for shit, you have horrible taste in music, and you think it’s an accomplishment that your favorite rapper plays a role on a Canadian soap opera. Just give it up, kid.

      4. Etheir your not listening to lupe’s lyrics or your just in denial. I don’t know how anyone could put drake over lupe music wise.

      5. I don’t see how you can like Drake better than Lupe, yet listen to Nas more than both. Drake doesn’t deserve to be mentioned among those 2.

        “still gets respect in da hood”
        “plays a role on a Canadian soap opera”

        LMAO

        Drake is making just about everybody sick with this R&B BS so, I think he’s losing any respect that he had. I listened to his first mixtape, which was considered his best, and had mixed feelings.

        You’re entitled to your opinion………and the same goes with me. Drake is trash to me.

    21. In a perfect world he would be selling millions of records, but we dont! Hoping everyone who claims to like hip hop supports this

    22. “Flow is so nuts, the track is getting t-bagged”

      “Defeat yo purpose, like a weed stash in a rehab, and guess whos sneakin in the weed bags?”

      “Game Over… BODY PARTS.”

      lupe got bars from beyond and infinity

    23. @ Shuttaman & co.:

      some important knowledge: lupe and drake are not in the same league of talent, they are marketed to different people, and they occupy different areas of music. Drake is a PURELY entertainment rapper. He kicks zero knowledge, and his lyrical talent is even lesser than lil wayne. He is limited to producing club-oriented music intended to ENTERTAIN and nothing else. (and yeah, he happens to be pretty good at appealing to the masses)

      Lupe on the other hand is in himself an ode to the roots of hip hop. He is a hip-hop ARTIST. His raps (to quote another of the finest chicago emcees) do laps around the likes of drake and lil wayne in terms of depth, meaning, and relevance.

      Judging by the fact you seem to be a fan of nas (one of the best lyricists in hip hop) I’m assuming you’ll understand my point. Drake is merely an entertainer. He has little hip-hop value. Lupe is easily one of the most incredible artists to ever lay down a verse, while drake has no message, no lyrical clout, no place in hip hop history. His place is in entertainment, not hip hop. The line between the two is clear. 5/5 for chi-towns best lyricist.

      1. dere’s a brotha datz REALLY listenin to hip hop! i co-signed every word u said brotha! see wut these new niggaz don’t have in dis rap game iz history. u can’t talk about these guys years later! wut kinda impact are these new rappers iz makin right now besides catchy songs? like lupe said……u gotta do more den a pause n a chuckle! hahahahahaha

    24. Lupe is coming real direct on this track…and I love that shit! Still lyrical as shit but swaggin with some type of Sinatra bravado. Now the question is..who is fuckin with Lupe on this track lyrically? Seriously?

      It’s ok. I’ll wait…

    25. In all honesty…. Lupe is the sickest lyricist in the game at this point. Yes Nas is still alive and Eminem is murdering niggaz on tracks with ease BUT Lupe could be on a track wid any of the best lyricists right now and NONE of them can make him look bad…. He can hang wid the best when they come with their best verses. Thats the truth and nobody can deny that.. dude has the bars, punch lines and just the illest shit to say.

      1. Co-sign….I see a lot of comments on here supporting this dude….for those who feel this way…GO BUY THE ALBUM WHEN IT COMES OUT! A lot of us say stuff online, but don’t support the hip hop that deserves our money

    26. Ole yung hoe ass niggaz dont put jay+nas=lupe
      Jay z would weaken Nas so shit dont fly hoe ass niccas!
      NAS DONT NEED NO ONE HE >past present n future of hip hop
      DONT U EVER PULL DAT SHIT FAGGOT ASS NICCA
      N GAME WOULD FUK LUPE UP EASY
      DRIzzy a young nigga he will BE BETTER DEN HIM HOE ASS NICCAS
      Nas getting old but he is unbeatabld in a come he would ether hip hop

      Yehhhh eyhhhhhhh

      1. My nigga imusing my iphone 4 rite now. I know u a brkw nigga wit a beeper like lupe so stop doinv yq gramticql whore ya dumb bitxc

        Drizzyyy
        Ya Broke ass nyyuggga

    27. My nigga imusing my iphone 4 rite now. I know u a brkw nigga wit a beeper like lupe so stop doinv yq gramticql whore ya dumb bitxc

      Drizzyyy

      1. I think a laptop cost more than a phone and I am pretty sure the iphone has a full keyboard so you should be able to spell words instead of just putting random letters together

      2. Maybe im in aplace wwerei can use my laptop ya fag?
        Git this phone fo 800+$ unlocked no contract ya hoe ass broke nigga

        DRIZZY

      3. whats your point? my laptop cost $1200. you know nothing about me and call me broke, while I just asked you a simple question. stop being so sensitive

      4. Ya bitch ass spent all ya social Aid mojwy on dat shit broke fagggit
        I got an iphone full price wit a laptop i cant use rite now ya dmb. Bitch ass nigga i smack da shit outta yo fuk go bitchon ya couch record it with my iphone livd nigga on ustream n put you on youtube BITCHHH

        DRIZZZYYYY

      5. If drizzy can come up with lines about ladies like, “But now back to the punchin Back to floor/flow like crunchin
        Got a 6 pack on the low now I’m sunk in
        Look like I’m driving from the back seat
        With a bird shotgun like I’m huntin
        You see what happened
        I made a call, and she got fly
        I was pumping, hit her up
        Then I sent my dog to go and pick her up
        Camouflaged fitted cut to the left velours, how I did it up
        And to the whole Westside, I tip it up
        And over to the single baby momma wit no job that gotta WIC it up
        To all my niggas in the CCDOC waiting on they quick collect to come
        So they can live it up
        And to my niggas that liquor they livers up and distribute cut in the belly
        sit it up.” Then I would probally respect Drake as maybe a lyricist or even a rapper. But since he’s not clever enough to put together rymes like that, he shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as lupe in rap, a forum, a comment, or whatever.

      6. Tough? Nigga im tuff anywhere everywhere ya bitch ass nigga im 6.1, 185lbs and i knocout any nigga just like that cuz i got that POWER YA BITCH ASS NIGGAS

        drizzay da truth yall hating.
        Nas> Futre past and present of hip hop.
        lupe should even be on a list with the nigga that survived it all.

        drizzyyy

      7. MAKE YOU BITCH NIGGAS GO NIGHT NIGHT, YOU EVER WENT NIGHT NIGHT NIGGA?
        SHUTTAMAN MAKES EVERYBODY NIGHT NIGHT BITCH!

        DRRIZZYYY

      8. He’s watching Degrassi as we speak, jackin’ it to Drake in his wheelchair. Game has been random at best since The Documentary. The only thing Game does better than anyone these days is name drop. See, you’re kind of like Soulja Boy; Everyone else is schooling your ass with reason, just like Lupe is doing to him, and they can actually make sense of words. You, on the other hand, can’t spell more than half a sentence right.

        ‘I know u a brkw nigga wit a beeper like lupe so stop doinv yq gramticql whore ya dumb bitxc’

        HOW IN THE FUCK CAN’T YOU TYPE A SENTENCE WITH A GODDAMN IPHONE KEYBOARD?

        6’1″ and 185 pounds? UH OH

      9. YOU BITCH ass nigga this aint school you 2 piece non rice kripsie getting ass bitch ass nyugga.

    28. yall candy rappers are CLEARLY in danger…….yall are fadin away!!!! real mcs iz finna git the spotlight back i can see it! Lupe please keep dis up mayne u definitely in my top 5 of today’s mcs and datz b4 u dropped dis trak. n to b clear dis iz not a diss record ppl lol. jus a real record from a real mc to show n prove to any so called hip hop fan dat he iz (in fact) one of the best out of the new generation of mcs or rappers. 5 out of 5 godammit

    29. good god…this is so fucking fire. I wish every one of his songs was like this…no more “superstar” just s.l.r. can’t wait for the album…someday

    30. “Holy Shock and Awe, Cattle prods
      All up in the action with a fraction of the catalog,
      of my peers. I ain’t doing numbers like Amazon
      but I’m here, and I’m revered”

      says it all…………………………

    31. one man slaughterhouse one nigga wu tang clan says it all…be dope to see lupe do a track with sl tho be dope as fuck

    32. SHUTTAMAN is another dick rider,that got too inspired, Drizzy said open youre mouth “so he fired”. Call it a young money shot, wait Aubrey I think you missed a spot.

    33. WOW!!! Lupe vs soulja boy. Lupe via lyrical destruction. I want to be there when soulja boy’s ignorant ass hears this. His head is going to explode like in that Chappelle’s skit.
      Lupe vs rap industry. Lupe wins easily. Dude is on another level. Its not even fair.

    34. 110 people have voted.
      5 is the most popular ranking.
      100 people gave it a perfect five.

      Make that 101 perfect fives!

    35. ahh. i still can’t get over this. i feel like he is the jay-z, nas, and pac all combined in one. he has the swag of jay-z in his own way, obviously the poetic and intelligence of nas, and covers the controversal stories of the hood like pac.

    36. The greatest rapper right now, will go down as top 5 maybe top 3 ever. In this industry with all the bullshit, to see another rapper of this quality after most of the greats have past is a blessing.

    37. ‘where’s soulja boy at?’ what a bunch of dickriders. fuck dx. i’m no soulja boy supporter but lupe average as fuck. it seems everybody swingin off his nuttz tho. fuck that piece of doodoo. i bought both of his big album releases and yawned my way to the end of them. don’t get me wrong i love enlightening real hip hop. political shit like immortal tech., sabac red, all them underground type cats, and that spirit and mind uplifting music, sunz of man, krs-one all that shit. but this lupe guy just average as fuck. he okay a few tracks i can listen to like intruder alert i guess and a few others. but overall fuck this guy, if he your mecca, you ignorant

      celph titled and buckwild album of the year. fuck do y’all know about equilibrium and demigodz.

      1. One day you will understand his lyrics and feel the complete opposite of this post. It’s ok, your just not ready for the level of lyrics lupe drops.

    38. we’ll see how his new album does you faggots. “a one man wu-tang” and all that shit was a bit over the top to me. fuck slaughterhouse. i’ll buy that shit. i’ll give him another chance. i’m not tryin to be a hater but damn, dude is not that good. his sales will reflect that.

      for those that say sales dont mean shit i agree, cause i buy plenty of shit tht doesnt chart. but this dude up talkin about havin a platinum plaque. which he obviously wants, and with neptunes production, he shld be in the market to get. so fuck him his album will flop. not even 250k for this asshole. i will buy like i did both times before to see whats what about him and maybe hopefully change my opinion, i’m not against being reinspired by an emcee. but to those of you who dont buy, i consider you you the real haters, no matter how much you download and dickride the dude

      1. my dude his first sold 450k…

        and the cool sold 600k+

        superstar was a platinum single 1mil downloads….
        he can sell fool

    39. IDGAF what anybody says. This nigga is clearly one of, if not THE best to ever do it on the lyrical level. second to none.

    40. For those who dont now what Soulja Boy has to do with it ; in a XXL interview he said hes gonna step up his lyrics game on his next album but then said “I don’t want to be super-Lupe-Fiasco-lyrical and niggas don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about,”. Lupe Fiasco took offence and here we go . 5* beastness.

    41. its good to have mr lupe back and lyrics takign centre stage, im nota hip hop snob lookin at the mainstream as evil buti certainly admirea rapper i think is clever and hasa point rather than getin me to dance and even then i dont listen to thoose rappers but the beats other ppl made for them seem to be cool, that sums it up

    42. wow a lot of hatin ass niggas hatin on niggas who ain’t hatin on lupe, they hatin on lupe at the same time too, shut the fuck up, ya’ll like a bunch of fags, tryna force yo upid ass opinion on us who praise this dude, you dumb bastards mad at us through the computer screen…wow…how…”impressive”

    43. Lupe is solid/nice, sometimes great, but ppl MOS DEF overrate him…”Best lyricist ever”? Are you kidding me? There’s no way hip hop heads who listen to A TON of super dope dudes underground ish and old 86-03 ish can say HE’S THE BEST LYRICIST alive if not ever. He’s not better than dudes today like ELZHI, CROOKED I (rest of slaughterhouse is pretty dope also), DIABOLIC (Liar and a Thief is best LYRICAL album of 2010), ONE BE LO (underground Nas), LOUIS LOGIC (Reminds me of Em in his prime and has UNREAL rhyme schemes, great sense of humor), Possessed (from Rhyme Asylum), Percee-P (killing the underground w/ unreal flow/multis for 20+ yrs), Juice out of Chi (underground legend) to name a few…And he’s DEF not on NAS’S A+ ish (Lupe’s top 25 tracks can’t touch Nas’s), EM’S A+ ish (96/97-02/03 and even Lupe says/admits this at one of his recent concerts on youtube, kinda surprised he didn’t mention Em in his prime in that rhyme), KOOL G RAP (legend for LITERALLY 25 years and still killin features…Who else has killed features in FOUR DECADES as consistently as KGR?!?! NO ONE, not to mention this dude along w/ rakim invented rhyming a TON of multis throughout a verse basically), PUN (capital punishment SHITS on lupe’s albums in my opinion), BIG L (best puncline mc ever, raw as f voice, would of blown up if not murdered in 99 @ 25), BLACK THOUGHT (underrated STILL, amazing live, tons of dope verses/albums), COMMON’s A+ ish (imo he and Juice are the 2 dopest dudes ever from the Chi…Vakil and Lupe are nice also), PHAROAHE MONCH (legendary lyricist all the way back to 1990 w/ Organized Konfusion w/ top 5-10 flow of all time), Kweli, Mos (black on both sides is better than lupe’s albums IMO), BIG, Pac, Jada, Redman (IN HIS PRIME), Gza (in prime), Jay-z (96-03)………

      I mean come on now ppl, let’s keep things in perspective a little bit. YES in a SEVERELY WATERED DOWN hip hop scene post 2002/03 (in terms of what makes it mainstream b-c underground always has fire, but raw ish hasn’t made it onto the radio since 02/03 for the most part & mainstream was only dope 86-03 in that 85-15 dope to wack ratio as opposed to the last 7 yrs where it’s the exact opposite if not 95-5 wack ish to dope ish on radio), Lupe stands out as the best/freshest NEW mc that made it on to a kanye album, did a track w/ Jay, had a couple songs on the radio. BUT FOR GOD SAKES LOOK AT HIS COMPETITION ON THE RADIO from 2004-2010 (in terms of new mcs) and of course he’s the best of THAT BUNCH. But a ton of underground dudes would murder young money/kanye as an MC/jeezy/ross/gucci/wacka/soulja boy and the like also.

      Lupe is nice, but PLEASE stop w/ the hyperbole

      1. no knocks to KGR he never dropped a bad album, even in the late nineties! but KRS been holdin it down longer

      2. KRS-One No doubt is a legend (THE TEACHER) and along w/ Black Thought/Busta/Em back in 99-2002 as now he’s only avg being sober as I saw him in detroit in 2001 and Yankee Stadium in 2010 and it’s night and day, he’s prob the best live performer ever in terms of raw energy and igniting the crowd, but KGR to me is TECHNICALLY a better/doper lyricist (in terms of multis/flow) but it’s very close and KRS is def deeper/better live. All time I don’t have a problem w/ either being placed above the other, but in terms of LONGEVITY and new features, KGR takes the cake. Who has KGR not done a track w/? Reflection Eternal Train of Thought, Pharoahe Monch, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Masta Ace, Em, Tech 9, Chino XL, Rza, Xzibit, KRS-One, Mobb Deep, Nas, Big L, Pun, Saigon, Diabolic (itunes bonus), MF Grimm, Papoose, Ice Cube, Scarface, Freddie Fox, Shan, Fat Joe/Terror Squad, MOP, etc

        Also while dope mcs list KRS-one a ton also, KGR is almost ALWAYS in every SUPER DUPER DOPE mc’s top 5 and mentioned as someone they looked up to growing up. He basically birthed jay-z, nas (along w/ rakim), mobb deep, raekwon, biggie, etc.

        Again dumb argument, both are legends

    44. By the way THIS track is fire minus a COUPLE lazy bars (lyrical miracle? canibus in particular and basically every lyrical mc has ran that rhyme into the ground i swear, granted lupe does somewhat save it by following it was mirrorful 🙂 ). This is def the hottest track i’ve heard from him in awhile, but again PERSPECTIVE PPL. Have you Heard KNO’s classic new album Death is Silent, Diabolics/Celph Titled and Buckwild/Vinnie Paz solo debut/Blaccastan/Roots/Reflection Eternal/AOTP/Roc Marciano/Mood Muzik 4/Slaughterhouse album summer of 09, Apathy Wanna Snuggle, etc. There are TON of other dope mcs out there (lupe is one of them don’t get me wrong, it’s just he’s one of the only ones getting shine)

    45. I’ve heard this like ten times already, his lyrics make me smile every time I listen to it. Since I’ve been alive for 25 years I’ve haven’t heard a rapper as good as Lupe. Please no one reply and say eminem is better CAUSE HE’S NOT!

      1. Anymore on a consistent basis, completely agree (i turn 28 in Jan by the way so not some young dweeb who doesn’t know his ish, but rather a TRUE hip hop head that has been listening to raw ish since 94 and obviously listened to classics before that also), but em’s prime of 96/97-02/early 03 is DEF better than Lupe, and Lupe would prob admit that himself (he said on youtube concert “I’ll battle anyone who wants it…ok well maybe not eminem, I’m not stupid.”…Look it up) as he LOVED Em in his prime (as does/did J Cole, another more lyrical mc compared 2 most of the garbage on radio in 2010, who should be on the radio sooner than later)

        I agree Em post his addiction (nearly overdosed and killed himself TWICE and best friend of 20 yrs was murdered in early 06 not to mention 2 divorces to HS sweetheart during that time) is not NEARLY as good as his lyrical UNREAL prime, but every dope mc ever agrees SLIM IN HIS PRIME IS ONE OF THE GOATS.

        Google ish if you don’t believe me.

        Rakim (“If em were black we’d be calling him the ali of this shit.”), Kool G Rap (In an 03 interview they did a word association game w/ him and when they said Eminem, he said, “Phenomenal”, Common (“Eminem is the essence of an MC. He can get on any subject matter and rock it, and … he’s coming from his heart. He can get onstage and have a presence. His patterns are real good: He can flow like an instrument. He rides them beats right and says clever stuff. MCing, to me, is when you hear a dude say something and you tell your homie, ‘You heard what he said?’ Eminem has that ‘Oooh, you heard what he said?’ That’s somebody you gotta step up with your game before [challenging]. He’s an MC by heart. You know it. He’s eating it, breathing it.”), Nas/Jay-z/jada all have him in their personal top 5-10 of ALL TIME (and i don’t even really like jay post 03), Pharoahe Monch/Redman (who both ALMOST signed to Shady Records, but they weren’t allowed to leave and things fell through in the last 2-3 years) have both said he’s one of the illest ever, Masta Ace/Mos Def/Black Thought/Diabolic/Crooked I/Royce/Budden/Ortiz/Ill Bill/Louis Logic/ELZHI/One Be Lo/Copywrite/Percee-P/Juice/Apathy/Reef the Lost Cauze/Bekay/Lowkey/Rhyme Asylum to name a few dope underground mcs have also been quoted as saying Em is “ONE OF THE ILLEST LYRICISTS EVER.” (now being underground alot of the them preface his 96-02 prime understandably especially outspoken SUPER DOPE dudes like Diabolic). Diabolic said “When Em came out and I first heard him in the late 90’s I was like OMG, this dude is one of the dopest dudes I’ve ever heard in my life. I didn’t even know you could rhyme like that. Wake Up Show Freestyler of the year in 97, 2nd in rap olympics to another underground legend (Juice) in a triple overtime classic, underground buzz/features, SSEP, Rawkus joint, First 3 records all dope and first one is one of the best ever, 8 mile. I can’t say I like where he’s taken it since 04 at all, but Em is super talented and in his prime mos def one of the illest ever.”

        All these super duper dope emcees and/or legends are wrong/lying? Come on now ppl.

        I agree Em has FALLEN OFF compared to that 7 year prime (although he proves on THE WARNING, STAY WIDE AWAKE, DEJA VU, BET CYPHER, WESTWOOD 09/10 FREESTYLES, FOREVER verse, Aiplanes II verse (rhyming was only decent at best, but storytelling and flow/tone sounded like him in 02) GOING THROUGH CHANGES, No love verse minus a few corny lines, Almost Famous, DISPICABLE FREESTYLE, Music Box, ON FIRE, My Darling/Be Careful What you wish that he still has IT in him in terms of flow/sick lyrics/rhyme schemes/tone). He admitted himself that “I had to learn to rap/write/flow/perform again. And even though I def was drugged out in the encore era, I still would always do weed/alchohol/X/zanex in more moderation from 98-02 which made me more zany/witty. Being completely sober is a huge adjustment on so many levels, in social situations and as an mc.”

        So of course he’s fallen off, but anyone who grew up as a teenager in the late 90’s (I was 16 when SSLP dropped and Soundbombing II classic compilation from Rawkus Records w/ em, mos, common, kweli, ra the rugged man, etc) that is a legit hip hop head KNOWS that Em in his prime is ONE OF the GOATs

      2. @jake: I hear you dude but I disagree, Eminem music no where near as good as Lupes, plus his chainsaw subject matter popping pills shit gets old. Lupe stays fresh, Plus I think food liquor is the best album ever and I heard a lot of great cd. My two choices were between illmatic and food liqour.

    46. Lupe Fiasco vs Lil Wayne…..Wayne Lose

      Lupe Fiasco vs Drake……Drake Lose

      Lupe Fiasco vs J. Cole……undecided

      Lupe Fiasco vs Eminem….. Toss Up

      Lupe Fiasco vs Jay-z……LUPE LOSE
      Clearly he has some people covered and he needs more recognition in this game.

      1. jay-z is the most overrated rapper in the game ever!!! anyway, lupe beats all of them but i think his biggest competition would indeed be eminem

      2. Lupe would definitely destroy J. Cole
        I can see Em and Lupe going at it for a while, but Em still coming out at the top. As far as mainstream goes.
        Vinnie Paz, Planetary, Crypt the Warchild, Celph Titled, Apathy, MindsOne, and Greydon Square would rip Lupe a new one.

      3. i’d rather listen to LUPE than Jay-Z. lupe has more depth to his flow he actually spitting real shit thats why the industry gave him the run around. jay-z is leech / snake. his bars are cool but not a fan.

    47. Lupe Fiasco vs Jay-z……Jay-z LOSE
      Lupe has him lyrically but just not as much recognition. Also, what the fuck was soulja girl thinking, he stands no chance!!!

      1. Jay-Z exc produced lupe’s first album. Jay’s a Beast and a businessman. You can’t even compare. jay can spit, plus he owning b-ball teams and digging wells in Africa. Keep the comparisons to the likes of j cole, drake and soldier boy.

    48. Lupe is dope. as far as the eminem debate, he is ONE of the best ever, but Jay Z is THE best ever. He has the most versatility, he has three classics, all three with different concepts, reasonable doubt: gangsta, street, storytelling, Blueprint: Main stream, yet still raw. American Gangster: raw storytelling and one of the best concept albums ever. and oh Black Album where he goes in with a different flow on every track.

      1. reasonable doubt was tight, bue print too, but american gangsta is NOT a classsic. He also cant out rap lupe. He definitely has more material though

      2. It all depends on subject matter too. Lupe can out rap Jay on a more new school- back packer level, but Jay is one of the most intellectual rappers that can also talk straight street shit. versatility. Lupe is a great story teller. I’m not trying to diss him.

        Top 5 All time
        5.Rakim
        4.LL Cool J
        3.Eminem
        2.Pac
        1.Jay Z

        Top 5 today

        4.J Cole
        3.Lupe
        2.Em
        1.Kanye

        Jay isn’t on this list because he doesn’t have anything out right now, except some guest appearances with Knaye. But watch him jump everybody on Watch The Throne

      3. prolyfic actually said lupe did some writing on the black album..and since pro was speaking about lu in a negative way i doubt he was lying…so basically…youre reaffirming that lupe is the best…

      1. word. every artists is talented in their own way, when people say that lupe is the best rapper that doesn’t mean that it takes who ever you think is up 1st down to 2nd it just means that hes up there with the best.

    49. Lupe Fiasco never makes a bad song he’s on fire right now each single he drops is dope can’t wait for LASERS to come out 5 stars across the board

    50. On the subject of the best lyricist Lil Wayne can beat anyone. Listen to any one of his songs, and I mean listen to it, listen to his words and how they bind together. Lupe’s been killing lately and always has been.

      1. are you kidding me lil wayne is the best lyricist dont get me wrong no hate i like wayne alot but common dude you got him over lupe, nas, jigga, talib, eminem, chamillionaire, wale, i can keep going but ill stop wayne is good yes top 5 yes best no…

    51. this is the perfect balance of lyrics, track, & mood…..this track sounds like a victory….i rewound this shit so many times

    52. Beats! Beats! Beat!

    54. Lupe a beast i wanna hear him on a track with slaughterhouse or go bar for bar with fab i hope he joins good music like the rumors say so he can get some shine also fuck Atlantic Records for Blackballin Fiasco they just shitty the cool was exposing the evils of the game because how can someone sell over million copies and they last album and not get released for another his single Superstar was everywhere

      1. im sorry tocrush you dreams but lupes not guna join good music. lol he doesnt wat to be a solider in kanyes army when he has his own label but the track is lyrical crackk lasers

    55. “2 man Big Pun, a 1 man Slaughterhouse
      A 2 album Jay-Z, a 1 nigga Wu-Tang
      Young and hungry Mos Def, a conscious rappin Lil Wayne
      I dont care for similarities
      Cause Im a pioneer, not a parody
      These are bars, this is barbarity”

      Goodness. He didn’t have to do em like this.

    56. O ye tormented souls
      My goal is to sit on the globe like North Poles
      And thats the top mane, goin hammer like a glock can
      All flow and grammer, no shots strayin’
      Im so sober when I speak
      I call it catchin bullets with my teeth
      You can feel it in your chest
      Like Bruce Lee jumpin on your vest
      But I cant feel yours through my Superman “S”
      Yes, Im Superman’d out, Red cartiers look like Superman house
      Inshallah to my plan, hope it super pans out
      My life is like Italians doin 100 miles
      And the top open like the roofer ran outta tiles
      Walked right into Philips when I ran outta chows
      Next up is Crustacean and fast food Halals
      The beef is all the same, its just how they kill the cows
      Somebody tell Malcom X that Im tryna steal his style
      And tell Cornell West that Im tryna steal his froooo
      Go back in time, take the slaves plows, shovels, and the hooooes
      Their masters get the “It Was Written” introooo
      SLR Ten fo, SLR Ten fo
      Soundtrakk let the beat go
      Soundtrakk let the beat roam

      Chorus:
      In this world I’m so alone
      In the category all on my own
      Cuz I tell the world what I want to
      Yea, I tell the world what I want to
      Man I feel so alone
      They treat like me like an outcast
      Cuz I tell the world what I want to
      But you can tell me what you gon do

      Cause nigga I dont believe that
      Like 9-11 came from Iraq
      And Mayweather on the speedbag
      Automatic weapons keep the same rhythm he has
      Thats how the hood sound
      Grew up in the hood town
      West side ghetto, Windy City, Cook Count(y)
      Black skies lookin up, crack pipes lookin down
      Accused of not lookin back, blind nigga look around
      City on my back, so the CHI go errywhere Im at
      Presence so shiny, Mercedes so matte
      Cop that from platinum, the color of my plaque
      I memorize “Colors” off of Yo! MTV Raps
      A nightmare walkin in a psycopath’s nap
      Defeat your purpose like a weed stash in the rehab
      Guess whos sneakin in the weed bags
      They be me with my mean ass
      Not tryna be anything but free as
      Flow is so nuts, the track is gettin teabagged
      Just wanna rap nice, that aint me tagged
      If you wanna be mean, then you wanna be me bad
      Call it being Pretty Lyrically Swag
      Soulja call it Super Lupe Lyrical
      You cant understand me nor mimic my miracles
      All I see is me and Im a mother lovin mirror full
      Bein dope is all in the muscle
      Its more than just a pause and a chuckle
      I bench press elephants, and bowlin ball juggle
      So dont be scared to take the Super Lu route
      Top 5 alive and I only got 2 out!
      School ya on your history, I tell ya what you bout
      Fight for all the right things and let the Huey New out
      Pharrell what these niggas talkin bout?
      2 man Big Pun, a 1 man Slaughterhouse
      A 2 album Jay-Z, a 1 nigga Wu-Tang
      Young and hungry Mos Def, a conscious rappin Lil Wayne
      I dont care for similarities
      Cause Im a pioneer, not a parody
      These aint bars, this is barbarity
      SLR……Clarity

      Holy shock and awing cattle prods,
      All up in the action with a fraction of the catalog,
      of my peers, I aint doin NUMBers like Anbesol,
      but Im here, and Im revered,
      Lyric boy, Based King, Master Chef, All City Chess moves, Micky, Donnie, Diggy, CRS fool
      Carrera Era, pan Amera, F-tool, Emperor, Free Chilly nigga, FNF RULES!!!
      Ye, what these niggas talkin bout?
      A Jesus in the desert walkin Dundee walkabout
      A self imposed exile, learn to let the awesome out
      Even if I was homeless I would still have an awesome house
      Cause the world is mine, Lupe to the rescue, the world is fine
      Words and lines of mine, I feel are better than every rapper in the world combined!!
      And thats how you do it
      Errything flu, errything fluid
      Stupid with the raps, but the raps never stupid
      Trakk on the music, SLR roofless
      And the next whip is that Ferrari cart
      Game over, body parts

      **Credit goes to LupeEnd blog site**

    57. Lupe is the truest MC no hammer far from a bama always dropping those jewels in your stockings like Santa. The rest stay thirsty got to drink a fanta.

      Cool world that’s just a sample See Lupe so tight he makes wanna rap lol

    58. LUPE SUCKS BALLS! J/K I COULDNT EVEN TYPE THAT WIT A STR8 FACE!

      LUPE FIASCO GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE!!!!!!
      WHO COULD REALLY DISAGREE WIT THAT!

    59. No way 2 weeks ago i wouldve thought soulja boy would end up giving lupe his nickname.

      from here on out, he is super lupe fiasco.

      I havent bought an album in a LONG time, i will be buying lasers!

    60. REAL NIGGA. how many rappers you know that go against the grain? Defy the label, don’t simplify or water their music down? Speak their mind? Not too many…

    61. yo this is wack…. lupe fiasco is a nobody loser who has no fans and can’t sell. Listen to Gucci Mane, the realest nigga out there. IT’S GUCCI TIME. Fuck Flake, Gay-Z, Azz, Feminem, TI, Kangay Fish, Kid Cudi and Gay Cole.

      Also Vinnie Paz is cool too. Fuck Immortal Technique he sucks. Vinnie Paz=King Of Underground

      1. @gucci If your older than 12 years old you should kill yourself for that dumbass statement. If your younger than 12, someone needs to smack some sense into you

      2. i would love to kill you, you fuck. why are you on this website, let alone commenting on songs, when you don’t know shit about hip hop? i ent kanye’s biggest fan, but kangay fish? “fuck immortal technique”?? sort it out man

      3. GUCCI MANE IS ONE OF THE WORST BITCHES IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW. WACKA FLACKA SUCKS TOO. SOULJA BOY and ALL THOSE dudes are dumb as hell. stop making music dude. anybody that likes that shit, has no hip hop iq at all. go listen to ur kidz bop cd u faggot

      4. Okay, your saying GUCCI MANE is better than: LUPE FIASCO, Jay-Z, AZ, EMINEM!, T.I., Kanye West, KiD CuDi and J. COLE! you dumb boy, you need to learn lyrical talent! Listen To Lupe Fiasco: The Intrumental, Jay-Z: Never Change, AZ: Rather Unique, Eminem: Stan, T.I.: Slide Show, Kanye West: Jesus Walks, Power Remix, Roses, KiD CuDi: My World and J. Cole: The Last Strech. THEN COME BACK AND TELL ME THAT GUCCI MANE IS BETTER THAN ANY OF THEN, about Gucci Time, JHEEZE

      5. Wow y’all are stupid. Clearly this person has written a comment aimed to antagonise. Damn y’all get suckered in easily.

    62. “cause nigga i dont believe that…like 9/11 came from Iraq”

      Wow this dude is waking up the people with these lines in almost every track. If this went over your head do some research…

      “friend of the people, i fight evil”

    63. This nigga behaving like he’s really homeless, hungry and about to die. this ish is well constructed, this ish is hip hop
      SLR on em’

      1. That comment had me DYYYYYYIINGG!!!!!! HAHA!!! So true. And the thing about it …it’s not lyrically(even though I like them) obnoxious like a Slaughter house track. Well Done Super Lupe! And the nigga got swag.

    64. this is da sickest shit out i anit heard no shit like this and a minute all i can say on thhis is chi town stand the fuck up

    65. Lupe Killed this, and he Showed why he is in a League of his Own. Soulja Boy and about 98% of the other rappers out don’t have the Talent and knowledge to be on Lupe’s Level, thats why he will go down as 1 of the Best Ever!

    66. This shit is f***in’ FIRE!!!
      any1 who says other can can get hit by a F***in’ train and that maggot superguccirap can suck his grandmothers ballz, Madd production by soundtrakk 4/5
      Lupe all day!
      P.S I had to listen twice before I posted and this shit is WILD!!!

    67. Lupe Fiasco is nothing but a mainstream bitch! Celph Titled, Apathy and the Great Vinnie Paz will eat this ugly nigga alive. Listen to real hip hop not this gay nerd pop crap.

      1. he’s got a point, but they are different styles, lol its like comparing a bullet(Lupe) to a hollow point(AotP). Both can kill it, just one to a higher degree (a hollow point bullet expands in the wound causing major tissue damage).

    68. You sir, are an idiot. You have the brain capacity of a corn kernal. I’m not hating on the likes of gucci, soldier boy or a waka flocka. Im happy theirs getting money in this economy(although they’ll be broke with no wealth what-so-ever for there kids). What irritates me is the stupid monkeys who thing you can even mention an emcee like Jay z or Eminem in the same sentence. Come on, dude, go read a book or something. Did you even graduate from high school? Im sick of nursery rhyme rappers!!!

    69. Nuff Love to the producer of the track. This is the Lupe I like. Lil Wayne has improved since the days of bling,bling as any rapper should, but i need the lyrical mastery….lines that my 16 yr old cant figure out. Mind stimuli.

    70. Damn Lupe been putting out some bangers lately, first BMF then show goes on and now this crucial. Hope he keeps it up, he need to get the respect he deserves and song like this will do it.

    71. I am Chicago rapper Qdotcom check me out on youtube keyword Qdotcom…download my music if you like what you hear on Reverbnation.com

    72. Lol, he finally realised how good he is, “lyrics in mind i feel are better than every rap in the world combined” i think the line goes like that

      1. He made a comment that he didn’t want to be all super lyrical like Lupe because you have to listen to it like ten times to get what he’s saying.

    73. Did this nucka just say “I’ll defeat yo purpose like a weed stash in the rehab and guess who’s sneakin in the weed bags, ,that be me with my mean ass”…..DAMMMMMM

      LUPE gotta b 1 of the best …..If u rockin wit d U must be smokin on that same spit that Soulja Boy was smokin.

    74. who is Soulja Boy? Lupe responded with class, fantastic response, Soulja can’t even spell lyrical
      “Flow so nuts…the track is getting teabagged” Enough said

        Lupe j.Cole currensy kanye banks jay elec khalifa

    76. I’ve always been a Lupe fan, from the start. So, this is another one in my book that is enjoyable. The things he said, are not only relevant. But, everyone can relate…metaphors are always sick, have to understand from a different view.

    77. WHAT IS THIS NIGGA TALKIN ABOUT?!!
      I’M OUT HERE LOOKIN FOR A FAT DICK TO SUCK AND HIS LYRICS ARE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!
      SOME OF US DIDN’T GET PAST THE 6TH GRADE NIGGA!!!

    79. lol the funny thing is the same people talking bout this a hard track soulja boy got raped will be the ones boot legging lupes and buying soulja boys

      1. I don’t think so. I wouldn’t listen to Soulja Boy’s latest garbage if he paid me. It doesn’t even have a hot beat to go with the nonsensical lyrics.

    80. The beef is all the same, its just how they kill the cows
      Somebody tell Malcom X that Im tryna steal his style

    84. Lupe, we’re going to need you to not put out an album for like…10 years. The rap game needs time to catch up, and you’re running around putting shit like this out. At least give Soulja Boy time to make another six albums about shitty unrelated pop culture phrases that he arbitrarily throws into his chorus.

      Now I’m not saying Lupe shat all over Soulja Boy and everything he stands for without mentioning him more than once…but I am implying it.

    85. Man… Lupe make a nigga take a hard listen… Make a nigga really think about what they are written, and why. The kid can write, and his imagination is way into the future, different hiphop dynamic.. Lupe Fiasco is one of the best hip-hop writers..

    86. Black skies lookin up…crack pipes lookin down…accused of not lookin back…blind nigga look arrrrouuunnddd….that’s hard! spoken by a true lyricist.

    87. he’s passed rap. he’s on a mission to change the world for the better, you’re the one allowing atlantic records to stifle his voice. everyone should be pushing for him because he’s pulling for us

    88. Yo this track is still fire even after one month. And yo soulja, you might not wanna be “super lupe lyrical” but ya punk ass just put out the single worst excuse for a hiphop album ever made. Well compare that to L@sers and then youre uncultured hood rat-ass can talk.
