Lupe Fiasco is a great rapper as his first two albums were great and they were classics. He doesn’t get an enough credit for his music and he had major problems with his label. He has worked with Jill Scott, Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, and a few others. I was so happy that I got a chance to see him performed live when Drake was just getting started being in the opening act.

[@francoputin5785]

Absolutely. I legit found his music because I was rummaging through Ab-Soul features. That’s how I found “Tetsuo and Youth”, which I consider a masterpiece of Rap. It’s crazy how art can exist outside our awareness like that for years.

[@PrettyPrincess9609]

Thank for this video. I was a big Lupe and Kanye fan when I was a kid.

[@beaniegee5129]

Lupe Fiasco's sophomore album The Cool is also a classic as well

[@jdorecouture16]

Absolutely!

How is Lupe a GOAT when he can't write a song to save his life?

His so underrated and underappreciated. I love his music. I still listen to his songs.

[@Eazygame888]

I like his bars and personality and can relate to him. He's actually coming to my city to a show at a stadium seconds from my crib!

[@Nothingatall1984]

I’m such a Lupe Stan!!!!! I still follow him and his projects. He’s top 5

[@jdorecouture16]

Thank you for doing a video on him. He was one of my favorite rappers when I discovered him in 2008 and I still admire him. And, as someone who's also a Cudi fan I do believe what Lupe said about him as Cudi has his funny ways, but has gotten better in recent times.

[@JukuduB]

His parents seemed to be amazing. Great parenting for a very talented brother.💯

[@beaniegee5129]

Lupe Fiasco's debut album Food and Liquor is a classic!!!

[@markcms7363]

He still puts out music on his youtube thats where he is at. Great vid though 👌

[@TheDiddlingDiddler]

Lupe will go down as one of the most underrated lyricists of all time

[@beemocha]

Summer after junior year (2008),I went to see him in concert at Irving Plaza in my hometown NYC. He was phenomenal!!❤😍 Karina Pasian was his opening artist. Definitely a dope artist! 🎤❤️

[@completely_me75]

He's still putting out great music til this day.

[@AO-pn2uo]

The real ones know

[@quannifer]

While he's not a household name. This guy still continues to craft great albums. Drogas, Tetsuo & Youth, and Drill Music in Zion.

[@saj8]

Food and Liquor was good, not great. The other albums are mid to trash.

[@BL77357]

He is my favorite rapper and is actually more famous than people think.. I saw him at the Red rocks in Colorado last year. He was the second to last act and trust me, homie shut it down! He did all his most popular songs because the crowd was huge. The crowd knew all of the songs and he outdid the main act.

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

Lupe ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💯

[@JeremiahSpeaks]

Another great video my sister ☺️ thank you

[@beaniegee5129]

His first three albums are classics!!

*first 4... Food and Liquor 2 was excellent and Tetso and youth

[@thegeorgiealityshow359]

Glad to know Lupe still doing it amen 🙏.

[@TheHomegirlHealer]

The Cool is one of my favorite albums to this day! Tetsuo and Youth also doesn’t get enough credit for how great of an album it is! Lupe is definitely a GOAT of Hip Hop

[@BL77357]

Food and Liquor 2 underrated 💯

[@Nay089]

One of the GOATs!

[@danavixen6274]

Good question! I liked some of Lupe's music! ❤

[@tineshacopeland5414]

Lupe is definitely top 10 on the Male Rap list, I still check out and bump his music from time to time.

[@VulcanKing25]

I remember when lupe caught some heat back in 2014 when he said logic the rapper was better than kendrick lamar. he felt that logic made a better music and subject matter than kendrick and people was mad at his opinion. Logic came out on the breakfast club and stated it was his opinion but fans of kendrick wasnt having it. After that and being dropped from atlantic, you havent heard much from him

[@NeoAndersonReloaded]

Nice. He got tired of the gatekeepers and the rituals.

[@jdorecouture16]

I can agree with that!

[@GizmoMaxx]

Lupe wasn't lying about the music industry !

[@chancest.thomas5160]

Damn, 9 Kids?!! I been 4got all about Him & "Kick, Push". Neva knew He started out in a Group, or released all These Albums.

[@saj8]

A lot of problems had not only derailed Lupe not only as a rapper, but also as a person. The man sounds angry and bitter every chance he gets and is so obsessed with technical abilities that his music suffers because of this.

[@simsimsworld]

I never understand what's so antisemitic when telling the truth. Would they treat it the same if he rapped that the music executives were African? I doubt it.

[@4.carmeljwn]

good story 👏

I feel like childish gambino came out, freaks and geeks dropped and around that time I didn’t hear from Lupe ever again. I always wondered if Grover overshadowed him a lil

The thing that stopped Lupe was Lupe. More on this later.

[@bldgamystery]

it seems the ongoing narrative is the jewish community is strong enough to create careers and powerful enough to end them as well. All the while, taking advantage of entertainers. However the gag is, you just cant say it.
