Lupe Fiasco has always sparked a large debate in whether or not he was one of the greatest rappers of this current generation and from both analytical and objective viewpoints, the Chicago-based artist is deserving of recognition. When first arrived on the scene with his eclectic style and peaceful approach to the music genre, many thought he wouldn't last or be able to lyrically stand with the greats of the culture but he soon was able to prove his doubters wrong.
Lupe has made some controversial comments throughout his career but his ability to curate listen-worthy music and sell out large venues while remaining a conscious and knowledgeable public figure has allowed him to become both a mainstream and underground legend. These days, it appears that Lupe Fiasco is done with the music business and focuses more on martial arts as of late.
