True. Of the "Freshmen" the best comparison to Lupe Fiasco would be a guy like Cudi or Drake imo. I think he is better then both of said names though tbh.
Except that Lupe's been mainstream since he first came out in 06. No freshmen from 09-10 can compare to him. Plus there's no hate following him. CuDi acts like Kanye at times and people are doubting Drake on what he can bring to the table. Fuck, I'm talkin like a Lupe stan.
Bone Thugs are the truth no doubt. They were the first people I ever heard to do the Rap/Sing combonation.
CuDi/Chip Tha Ripper - Hyyer. VERY Bone Thug influence.
TBH I'm not a big BTNH fan, I gotta be in a mood or something to listen to them. And I consider BDK more over looked then underrated. Without Kane, there wouldn't be Biggie, without Biggie there wouldn't be Jay and the rest you guys can fill in.
