    What makes you say that? Have you even heard of Lupe? IMO he's up there with my favorites:

    1) Rakim
    2) Nas
    3) Mos Def

    Yup! I agree. Lupe is one of the best right now. Everyone else got that autotune voice thingy going on nowadays...

    Theyre good but Lupe doesnt touch those guys. Nor is he close to the likes of Del, Common, Aceyalone etc. etc.

    Lupe is great. I'll be keeping my on that album.

    When I heard Dumb It Down from way back, it got me interested in the guy.

    His incomparable way of using simile and metaphors, sometimes throughout whole songs. Also his ability to stick to the theme of a song very rigorously.

    Can't wait for Lasers. Really hope its as good as his last 2 albums. Food and Liquor is one of my fave albums of all time.

    Can't wait for lasers love lupes music so far, he is such a good lyricist and he has a really good flow, oh and his songs generally have a nice beat and catchy tune and while some underground guys may rap quicker/better voice or talk about more meaningful stuff if it not catchy or enjoyable to listen to what's the point.

    Also dumb it down and lil weapon up are def in my favorites right now along with paris tokyo.

    (Assuming not typo) Never heard anyone describing lupe that way. I don't see how thrash is involved with rap, maybe it just some saying I don't know.

    You should check out Lupe's mixtapes. And seriously to those calling him trash.. every rapper out there or anyone that has been following all of lupe's mixtapes knows lupe is a great rap artist.

    Easier question, then: Excluding anyone on Def Jam, who’s your favorite rapper these days?

    Jay-Z: I’d say, Lupe Fiasco. I love Lupe. He’s a genius writer. In his approach to making music and the depth of his lyrics, the guy is incredibly smart. I’m sure he goes over people’s heads, but I love him for that.

    Yeah incredibly excited for Lasers. Food & Liquor is one of my favorite albums of all time (seriously, everything from Daydreamin' onwards is amazing, and the first half is pretty good as well, with stuff like He Say She Say and Real). The Cool was a great follow up. He's in my top 2 with Eminem.
