Lupe Fiasco vs. Big Daddy Kane (2024)

What is the result going to be?

You seemed to make a huge point that RA is not in BDK's class, so I figured maybe we should choose a more popular recent emcee for the comparison. Or are you saying that like RA, Lupe isn't even in BDK's class?

Lupe isn't in BDK's class, and you know good and damn well that the majority of this forum agrees. But you're just doing this to create another bash Lupe session, as if the Lasers thread wasn't enough for you.

Think what you want, I just wanted to discuss the issue and I think it will be an interesting discussion. Would Lupe vs. RA The Rugged Man been a better thread?

You're not fooling anybody man. You know as well as I do that I'm right.

I'd say Kane vs G Rap would be a GREAT thread. Lupe vs Phonte would make for a better thread, since neither is particularly popular in here.

Kane vs. G Rap has been done to death... and I'd say Lupe and LB are pretty popular here.

Kane vs G Rap was done once in a verses thread, Lupe isn't all that popular here, and LB is mildly popular here at best.

My point is, matchups should be done based on styles and/or fanbases. That makes more sense.

No, not if you want good discussion and not the same old same.

Lupe is easily the most popular young "lyrical" rapper so it makes sense to compare him to BDK.

Whether or not Lupe is the most popular lyrical rapper overall is debatable, but he clearly isn't all that popular here. He'd lose in a poll to Kanye in this forum, and Kanye's nowhere near as good lyrically.

I'm a big Lupe fan, but he shouldn't be compared to legends until he becomes one himself. I feel that way about everyone who's yet to reach that status.

"He'd lose in a poll to Kanye in this forum, and Kanye's nowhere near as good lyrically."

I'd vote for Lupe over Kanye if it's about who is the better rapper.

Yeah, I'd vote Lupe over Kanye when it comes to rapping skills pretty easily.

This. I can't hardly stand to hear Kanye rap half the time. But he is one of my favorite producers in hip-hop.

Vakill won that battle right?

I have no problem with this thread. I vote BDK. I'm not a Lupe hater, or a BDK stan.

Lupe gets love here. I like him quite a bit. Some users just rank him too high IMO.

Did you really take Lupe over King Aziatic?

I don't like Lupe or BDK too much. They are both dope lyrically. Kane has the legendary status, and Lupe has the edge in the conscious rap department. Idunno its a push for me.

You don't like anybody that rapped before 1990

f*ck it I'll justify myself lol. I like Rakim, BDP, Beastie Boys, Kool G Rap, and even Kane (I'm just not a huge fan of his) among others.
