Jay Electronica Vs. Lupe Fiasco

Post by Escobar305 »

Supposedly Lupe wrote this on the okayplayer board:
Coexist, the devils in the dealer, the poltergiest is in the pokerchips,
Game changer, I practice Iron Swan Song, Tiger Palm & Cobra Fist,
Go by many slang nameג€™s and sobriquets,
Asking me how many lines is in my mind is like asking how many fish can the ocean fit,
I set out to do the impossible like an open fist, Achieve the unbelievable like throwing Open Pit,
The last line refers to flying saucers, A rhyming Chaucer who came from District 9 but now heג€™s flying over it
Battle Jay Elect? Who has the foolhardy audacity to utter this?
I look at him like a high minded brother from another and when we finally encounter with dual flows overdosed on over-the-counterג€™s its gone be like Mulder meets the Mothership,
Friend Of The People, Fuck the governmentג€¦

Lupe's got him on lyrics. The only MC out now that's in Lupe's league as far as lyrics go is DOOM. Jay Electonica's got him on voice and got him slightly on flow.

I'd say they're about even as MCs, but Jay Electronica gets the edge overall because he has a MUCH better ear for beats.

Did you even read Lupe's lines? He was paying him a compliment, not dissing him.

The context and framing of the thread runs contrary to Lupe Fagasco's words, but this is some Mindbender shit:
The last line refers to flying saucers, A rhyming Chaucer who came from District 9 but now heג€™s flying over it
Battle Jay Elect? Who has the foolhardy audacity to utter this?
I look at him like a high minded brother from another and when we finally encounter with dual flows overdosed on over-the-counterג€™s its gone be like Mulder meets the Mothership,

Jay Elect is on another level. Lupe is dope technically but he's on some Kevin Durant shit. Jay is on some Paul Pierce shit.

lupe is dope, but some of his lines are so try-hard that they're corny.
You could throw up a :smugkid: in between every third line.

Jay Electronic is effortlessly dope, in his lyrics, voice, flows, beat choice, there is no MC I enjoy listening to more currently.

Lupe's not seeing him, sorry.

Right? I remember EVERYONE calling icesickle a faggot for being a Lupe apologist, and I remember EVERYONE calling him a gay poser when he fucked up that VH1 Honors shit...What happened? I thought everyone was being sarcastic?

I think there is a difference in liking than acknowledging he is a dope rapper. I don't own one Lupe album but I do like many of his tracks. I think as a person he is corny but the hate you're referring to came with that whole ATCQ debacle from a few years ago. I know you're talking about the forum in general, but I speak for everyone because I am Philaflava.
