Lupe Fiasco responds to Soulja Boy, flaunts his "Lyric Boy Swag"

Earlier this week, news broke of Soulja Boy calling out Lupe Fiasco over his lyrical ability. Throughout his career, Soulja Boy has been criticized for a seemingly lack of lyrical ability. But, late last year, Soulja Boy sought to prove that he did have skills. He turned heads on Snoop Dogg's "Pronto" and promised more on his album.

With The DeAndre Way set to be released at the end of the month, the Atlanta rapper has been making his rounds. Recently, he appeared on the cover of XXL with 50 Cent. During his interview for the magazine, Soulja Boy spoke of his multiple critics. He said he had to prove he was not a joke, so it was time for him to step up.

However, just because Soulja Boy has stepped up, it does not mean that he wants to alienate fans. While he is lyrical, Soulja Boy said he does not want to become too lyrical like Lupe Fiasco. He said Lupe's rhymes are so far out there that most people do not understand him. Because people do not understand him, most of his songs to not receive much radio play.

Yesterday, Lupe Fiasco responded via Twitter to Soulja Boy's statements about him being too lyrical:

"SUPER LYRIC DAT HO! YUUUULE!!! @XXLStaff: Soulja Boy: "I Don't Wanna be Super-Lupe-Fiasco-Lyrical"... http://bit.ly/bQCsZz," Lupe tweeted yesterday (November 4).


"Lemme see...LYRIC BOY SWAG, U CAN'T UNDERSTAND ME CUZ MY LYRIC BOY SWAG!!! Hahaha..."

"I like the lil homey Souljah...he doing his thang...to each his own..M.O.E!"

"U right GOE! RT @Rellivent: RT @LupeFiasco: I like the lil homey Souljah...he doing his thang...to each his own..M.O.E!/ Not Over God G.O.M."

"God over everything wrist look like a blizzard, dairy queen! Lamborghini mean rims look like wedding rings & I keep a queen like beds&things."


"I balled like monks, and got love in the hood like Cupid in the trunk! Porsche Dumb for a day and Ferrari stupid for a month" (Lupe Fiasco's Twitter)
