One of the best rappers in the game. Brings a new, interesting flow to hip hop, lyrics speak to many and has the ability to rap about things other than sex, money and violence.

According to the other definitions, Lupe is someone who brings originality to the rap genre.
But if you've heard "The Show Goes On," you know that is a pile of horse shit. The tune and hook of "The Show Goes On" is blatantly take- er, i mean "SAMPLED LOL" from "Float On."
Fans like to excuse this as "corporate whoring, if lupe didnt make this song he wouldnt have a record!" Yeah, well how about you consider that when you say that Lupe is a "real and original" rapper? A "real and original" rapper wouldn't let a fucking record label company get in his way, you fucking posers.
A better definition for Lupe would be a modern version of Vanilla Ice, replacing under pressure with float on.
Listen to some REAL rap.

Great rapper from Chi-town who is one of the more political and intelligent rappers. He has a very smooth flow and is one of my personal favorites. Kick Push, He Say She Say, and All Black Everything are some of his best works.

When a black person is half gangsta half skater. They'll wear krew jeans or other skate jeans with a hoodie and a hat with the sticker left on. They tend to be really good skaters. A lot of them wear vans, thanks to the pack. Ever since the rapper Lupe Fiasco came out with his song Kick Push any half gangster black skater is diagnosed with the disease. It's not really a bad thing to have it, it's just kind of funny. Many of the people who've got it are relativley hot.
