Of course I was big into Lupe from jump... because that was at the height of my Muslim orthodoxy phase of my life, and here was a Muslim rap artist with major props reppin' Islam and doing songs like the "Muhammad walks" joint (remake of Kanye "Jesus Walks").   I also loved the joint "Kick Push" and "The Box" (about television affect on people).  You could probably find a gang of posts of me promoting Lupe from 06'.

But it actually ended up being a lot like Royce.  You really expecting for a classic album in the works and then it never comes.  (I'd even settle for a near classic like Canibus opening release)  Closest Royce ever came was the EP he did with Em that had a few bangers but not a classic.  That bootleg you sent me was classic for sure, but nothing official.  I know you consider Phryme a classic but it still ain't caught me just yet (though I need to give it another chance).

At the end of the day I'm a way bigger Royce fan than Lupe.  I actually haven't bumped Lupe at all since the initial buzz he had in 06' (year my son was born).   I bumped him a lot that year and never after.   But Royce I've been bumping regularly since 99' up until this day.
