During the Coca-Cola "Refresh Your Flow" show, Lupe Fiasco had a sit down with fellow Chi-town MC Common. It's always a lot more interesting to hear an artist interview another artist, where the perspective of the questions comes from a fellow musician. In the interview Lupe says Com is undoubtedly one of the top 3 or 4 MC's of all time. The two of them talk about all the talent that comes out of Chicago, and about Common's new album Universal Mind Control (12/9). Shout out to Sean for this one.
I like ink and alcohol.... and I listen to music every now and then.
picasso’s blue period was monochromatic
There’s so much ‘just-under-the-radar’ talent
in Chi that people should check for…
cats like Just Ro, Sean Lett, Mikkey Halsted, Juice,
Mr. Greenweedz, Qwazaar, Mick Luter, Grav, Akbar
and yeah, me too.
And that’s just off top… too many others
I can’t think of right now.

lupe coudn’t be more bumbaling!!
Top 3? Lupe is buggin. Dude didn’t even listen to Midnight Marauders growing up. Com should be lucky to make Top 20.
not in my top 5… but easily top 10 emcees.
shit, when lupe finally drops the next one, I have a feeling he’ll crack top 5.
com is easily in the top ten. and I think he is top 5 of all time no doubt. 4 definite classics the rest were all good. even electric.
common may not be top 3 on any objective list, but he makes my own subjective list, easily.
