Lupe Fiasco is not only arguably the greatest emcee and lyricist’s in Chicago Hip-Hop history, but also easily among the emcees and lyricist’s to ever touch a mic in the 50-plus years of Hip-Hop period. Which he proves yet again on his just yesterday released newest single, SOS. A soulfully jazzy lyrical masterpiece.
Lupe spitting such standout bars as, “I foresee a place and time, monumental like they making dimes like Wilhelmina. I foresee like it’s mace in mines on the MIC, like I be makin’ mines. All it take is spine, like a snake design just to take your time and wait in line like my latest rhyme.” As well as, “Without the substance I feel incomplete. Like taekwondo without the feet, type it wrong without delete. Michael Corleone without deceit or the streets, EKG’s without the beeps, peeps. Recorded this out in Cali-fo, but feel like Dallas to a palindrome, a salad on my palette, bro. Still eat a cannibal sandwich, though, mix the poison with the antidote and terrorize the whole talent show.”
