I love Lupe and his music; its real and in my opinion he is a lyrical genius. The way he uses analogies and all of that astounds me. I personally love trying to figure out what he's trying to say. I will agree though that Lupe's music is not the kind that you would "smoke a blunt to" But I doubt that's what he's trying to go for. His idea is to just get the message across in which he's doing a fine job. I will admit though that sometimes I have an urge to rock to the mindless music of Soulja Boy. :) I would have to disagree yet agree with some comments here.

He can get lazy and Jeezified sometimes, but "Slow Ya Roll" off Buck the World (with Chester B from Linkin Park) is one of the favorite joints of 07 ... there's no way it can put the biggest critic to sleep, too powerful of a song. give Buckster a chance.

I completely agree. Although, I don't know about Young Buck. That guy puts me to sleep every time I hear him rap. Great points Slav. I completely agree. Although, I don’t know about Young Buck.

Lupe gets the nerd set's panties up in a bunch. That Merc review really killed me though, labeling Lu as a "savior of Hip-Hop." It's one of those times when I'm ashamed to be a member of the mainstream press. But back to the comments above ... it's amazing how narrow minded some intellectuals can be. Stop that shit and just listen to the music. Lupe's got skills. But he's but one artist of many. As much as I like some of his songs, I'll bang Soulja Boy's "Soulja Girl" 'cause I like that sample, and Sheek Louch and Bad Azz and Young Buck and Ghost 'cause I like how they spit. Good music is good music. Stop the nerdery already. lol LOL @ the comments above. Lupe gets the nerd set’s panties up in a bunch.

Since the OKP forum search function is not up to snuff, could someone link it for me? I missed what Phonte said, but heard it was hilarious.

Let's recap: Lupe has no personality, hence I'd rather smoke a blunt with Salinger. Err, and the grammar in the sentence was stellar.

Put Mr. Fiasco in the middle of a group blunt session and it's only a matter of a couple rotations before everyone starts busting on him.
