    Lupe is a highly enciphered, literary, writer. The average listener wouldn't fully comprehend his technique. Which is 100% of people. His layering and entendres are way beyond most people's understanding not to mention allusions. The allusions interconnect with so many different meanings, which explains why individuals don't catch his arcane references and overall layers. And the guy's homophones are bananas. Lupe is the greatest when it comes to Literary Devices. The sad part is that these individuals aren't even aware of what makes him so densely packed 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾.

    Knox Hill actually reacted to Lupe's Royce da 5'9 diss and did a spectacular job. I love DuaneTV, but he also reacted to Lupe's Royce diss and deleted it shortly after, lol.

    You should try to check out Lost in Vegas' Lupe reactions. I think they're the best at bar breakdown.

  • @thetruest7497
    @thetruest7497 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Nah, Lupe is the best rapper, lyrically objectively. And it ain't particularly close. You can argue someone like 3000 or Pac makes you feel more. But as for the words and techniques it's a landslide.

    • @Cynthionic
      @Cynthionic  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I agree, but I do think its pretty close, Aesop Rock is more complex and has a bigger vocabulary, (I think Lupe is better because of rhyme schemes and the fact he has proven he can do many different things lyrically, but its still close) and I'm sure there are rappers you and I have not heard of who are technically as skilled as Lupe. I just don't feel comfortable saying anyone is objectively the best, but if anyone is its probably Lupe

    • @thetruest7497
      @thetruest7497 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Cynthionic agree that Aesop is better at what Aesop does than Lu at what Aesop does. But I think it's close there. But Lu also does what MFDOOM does. And what naS does. And what Jay Z does. Etc. That's why I don't think it's particularly close when you consider everything. Like King Los may have better wordplay, may have. But does he do an extended metaphor as well? Royce may be better at multi syllables, may be, but is he nearly as layered (like you pointed out on Failure)? No, not close. naS may be more descriptive in his stories, may be, but how are his entendres?

      @Cynthionic  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@thetruest7497 I do agree with this, like i said if there is a greatest rapper, its Lupe Fiasco, but i think its ultimately down to subjectivity and especially for us who dont rap its hard to tell what really takes the most writing skill, but generally i do agree I think I just dont like making objective statements about who is the “best”

    I disagree on one point however
    Even though it is tedious to do to many, if people actually tried writing out a rhyme scheme a punchline or a scheme or writing that has a message in it
    You actually start to hear and see where artists are going on a song, deadass. When you understand the fundamentals for what’s going on, you have a deeper appreciation for what it is
    Especially if you then see and hear what these top level artists create. Or lyricists spitting crazy on a track
    For reaction channels, somebody who has written lyrics before will be perfect for
    Which I think is a reason reaction channels like MichelleShow, Knox Hill, etc.
    Will have such great reactions. Because they truly are catching the bars to every level the lines have

    Consuming music the way these first-take YT reacters do is just stupid. There’s some benefits for sure, but it’s more negative than anything. But cant hate on them too much, gotta make a buck somehow

    Not every Bar from King Los is comprehensive in order to ascertain his lines you'd have to recognize the technique, which already individuals aren't aware of nor comprehend. That's not including the meaning of his bars. You can't catch the meaning of a bar, but if you don't understand the technique nor literary device then it doesn't count. Also Lil Wayne, Dax, Eminem etc aren't comparable to Los objectively anyways.
