    I wish I were a popular rapper, I'd mention all the good rappers out there that get no love in these boring top 5 lists and then they'd be like "yo dude thanks for the shout out, wanna open for me in the next show in wherever" and I'd be like h--- yeah dude high 5

    Sort of what Ab-Soul did with Lupe, but he only got a feature, and Lupe has been bad for years
    I haven't listened to Tetsuo yet

    I'm still the only one who thinks they're still good :emoji_sob:

    But yeah idk why people are complaining about it being safe he's not trying to be f---ing edgy that's who he likes

    Did you like Food and Liquor 2? I hate both these, and I didn't like Friend Of The People either.

    You should listen to his 3 Fahrenheit 1/15 mixtapes dude, this is what I'd call underrated.

    Actually underrated might be the wrong word since everyone that has listened to them liked them a lot, but they rarely get mentioned in Lupe discussions (from what I've seen here anyway). They came around Food And Liquor, can't remember if before or after the album though. Great stuff

    Man I forgot about those mixtapes, I remember they came out the same year but I can't remember that much either. Lupe from 05-08>>> You should definitely listen to Tetsuo & Youth, it came out hella dope.

    I liked a couple of tracks on Lasers but I can't listen to the whole album nowadays; I can't remember any song from F&L2 except from Go To Sleep, which is my favourite from both these records. Really dope track, I think it was a bonus track from F&L2

    He's the king of silly jokes that are just below cringe worthy and that's like 25% of Soulo's style

    Anyone thinking em isn't top 5 of all time is crazy.. Those first three albums will likely never be repeated as far as successful runs go. Also even if his later albums aren't as good he is still a much more skilled rapper than 90% of the game today. Shocked to see Lupe to be honest.. And Wayne? That's crazy. Nas and jay are hard to argue against lol

    If you're like me and don't like pointlessly edgy s--- then like half of eminems work sucks a---

    And people have already had better/equal runs than him

    Kanyes whole discog

    Carter 1-3

    And to say he's more skilled than even the majority of rappers is a bit much

    I'd have to disagree. Kanye at his height was nowhere near em in just about every aspect (well production, but I'm talking rapping). And who are more technically sound artists? I mean the content may not appeal to as many people but his technical skill is above most.
