On Monday, Lupe Fiasco went to Twitter to talk about rap music. In a series of tweets, Lupe gave his opinion on the greatest rapper of all time. Lupe's answer wasn't surprising: it's JAY-Z.
Here is what he said:
\u201cTo me...I think all around factoring in all the tangibles and intangibles...Jay Z is the GOAT...bars, sales, influence, swag, power, credibility, hits, beats, wife, longevity...I\u2019m mean who else comes close? https://t.co/ohRryYeLOJ\u201d— \u201cDRILL MUSIC IN ZION\u201d Out Now! (@\u201cDRILL MUSIC IN ZION\u201d Out Now!) 1530557835
\u201cI think the best rapper is undeterminable. But just off bars alone Jay is still top 3 and probably spent more time and top 1 than anyone else https://t.co/ChvOmJ8iWu\u201d— \u201cDRILL MUSIC IN ZION\u201d Out Now! (@\u201cDRILL MUSIC IN ZION\u201d Out Now!) 1530558357
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s automatic Jay has put in effort and has multiple moments of blacking out and doing things in eras that were just above and beyond his peers. But rap is big and all the top 30 have moments of brilliance so I stopped even trying to pick a \u201cbest\u201d https://t.co/GeosgnvNku\u201d— \u201cDRILL MUSIC IN ZION\u201d Out Now!

Lupe was then asked to fill out his top three. Again, no surprises here:
\u201cAlive?...Nas & Em... https://t.co/3e0RnfImJi\u201d— \u201cDRILL MUSIC IN ZION\u201d Out Now! (@\u201cDRILL MUSIC IN ZION\u201d Out Now!) 1530559727
Lupe was also asked about Kendrick Lamar, a rapper that Lupe has critiqued in the past. He said:
\u201cI like Kdot...he\u2019s just not on MY goat list...def in my top 40 tho..\ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffe...it\u2019s a lot of rappers that are super talented and can spit that come before him to me though no shade or hate just my personal opinion https://t.co/o21tVMoVou\u201d— \u201cDRILL MUSIC IN ZION\u201d Out Now!

Also interesting is the fact that Lupe announced that he would no longer be doing songs with other rappers.
\u201cLol hear me & hear me good you will never hear me on a track with another rapper ever again. Lol I don\u2019t like doing features and I\u2019ve done all the features I wanted to do it\u2019s done, it\u2019s done, it\u2019s done. I work at SOSA everyday with some of the best MC\u2019s in the world so I\u2019m good https://t.co/SJUFGY0Y90\u201d— \u201cDRILL MUSIC IN ZION\u201d Out Now!
