yeah i was thinking the same thing. thread wouldn't have read like this a year ago.
I think there is a difference in liking than acknowledging he is a dope rapper.

this is true, but even a year ago, no one was saying "lupe is a dope rapper but i don't like him", it was "lupe is a faggot, his gasping is unlistenable, etc."

Laws' Electric Eel track not only has an x-files line, but uses the theme for a beat briefly.

I seem to recall Thun hating Lupe for raping about robots or something.

Too perfect.

Both are dope. Lupe's catalog is more extensive, but Jay is dope while making it look easier than Lupe does.
I can't decide. Not that it matters.
The "battle" ain't gonna happen.

When's Lupe's new/Jay's first album dropping?

Lupe has always been a great writer, but his attitude, voice and breath control combine to render him an unlistenable pussy.

Don't forget his consistently shitty hooks.

Fuck all the bullshit over whether Lupe is or isn't ill; Jay Electronica trumps him in all categories: Delivery, lyrics, concepts, song constuction and, the most critical, presence.

What's the basis for the Lupe hate? I don't know how you can hate when his lyrics and delivery are fuckin untouchable. Both of his albums are arguably the best of the year they were released in... his mixtapes are always fire... he's creative... the beats are dope imo. I don't get how you can diss someone for making something look difficult, or whatever y'all are saying, what should he do? Dumb it down?

I hate the Fireman beat, but he absolutely kills this:

Don't get the Jay love and don't get the Lupe hate.

Jay is not that good to me, but then again, people here like Doom.

Lupe Fiasco and Jay Electronica have finally let constant Internet chatter and pressure take control of their music. For months, underground hip-hop devotees on blogs, forums, and message boards buzzed about the magic that could be produced if these two wordsmiths were to hit the studio together. This past Tuesday on Tony Touch's Shade 45 radio show Lupe mentioned that he, himself, would like to collaborate with Jay Elect. "I wanna do a whole album with Jay," Lupe said when asked if the New Orleans native would appear on his forthcoming album, 'L.A.S.E.R.S.' "He's a good guy, I respect him as an emcee."

Today Jay Electronica also addressed the wishful thinking of the fans in an interview with Brooklyn Bodega. "We going to be on a track together in the immediate future," Jay assured. "That's my brother. He reached out. I got bad phone etiquette so it took me a minute to reach back. But we gonna reach, we gonna talk. We've been in communication and we're going to work."

The thought that a future hip-hop classic may be crafted off what originated from nondescript Internet banter, shows how much of a vital role the World Wide Web plays in today's rap ecosystem. While nothing has been confirmed from either party's label, fans are sure to remain optimistic and continue the online pressure.

Lupe fans are even cornier than Tupac fans.

Lupe is decent, gets too much love by his fans and far too much hate by others. That being said, Electronica>>>>
