Best Rapper Alive

So my co workers were having a discussion on their favorite rappers. Some said Kendrick. One said Kevin Gates. A couple said J. Cole.

Then one of them turned to me and asked who was my favorite. And I said, “Lupe Fiasco, and as of matter of fact he is the best rapper alive and it’s not even close.”

They all looked at me as if I just said some unearthly shit. And started laughing. “Lupe Fiasco? Like the Push Kick guy?”, one said. Another said, “The best alive?? Like the *best* alive?” Not even 3 Stacks? Not even Jay? Lupe? The best alive?” They all ganged up on me and attempted to clown me.

I just sat there basking in the moment because they have no idea. I said, ” See, how can you even know if the only thing you remember is from over 10 years ago? I guarantee you, that if you listen to his most recent projects, you’ll agree. That’s like arguing that Jordan ain’t the GOAT and you *never* seen him play.”

One guy was curious and was like, “well give me a song to listen to. What song can help your argument?”

Of course I said Mural. And then I said Wav Files. And I said, “You know what just listen to Tetsuo and Youth and Drogas Waves. And you might want to pull up Genius just so you can keep up.”

The next day 2 of the guys came back in to work and was like, ” Ok, I see why you said that. It’s like Lupe is on the different playing field than everyone else. Imma have to listen to some more cause alot of that stuff went over my head. But you might be right, let me do some more research”

I feel like spreading the word about Lupe. Like knocking on door to door and be like, ” Hello my brother, have you heard the good news?” Lol. But it’s refreshing to change someone’s opinion on music. Lupe is not getting the recognition he deserves.

Just thought I should share.
