Batman & Robin

Lupe on Lyrics, Ye on Beat - Birds & the Bees


I just came across this unreleased Lupe track while doing my usual blog-surfing. This song is more or less perfect because it solves the biggest issues I have with both talented artists. Namely, Lupe's horrible taste in beats and Kanye's insistence on keeping his best beats for himself.

Great Moments in Lyricism...Lupe Fiasco

Lupe Fiasco - No One Does it Better (Unreleased)


I have my issues with Lupe, but this stands as the greatest lyrical performance I have ever experienced. Every line is wound, rewound, and wound again. 3 years after I heard it, I am still unraveling new layers every time I listen to it again. I won't post the lyrics because it wouldn't do the listening experience justice.
