You need to watch this:

Take just one verse from this song and you will see the depth of Lupe’s work:

“and then it hit me, standin outside of heaven waitin for God to
come and get me. Im too uncouth, un-schooled to the rules and too gum-shoe
too much of a new comer and too un-cool like
Shadow and Lavelle, I battle wit it well”

…if you wiki DJ Shadow and Lavelle, you will see that they were a part of a group called U.N.K.L.E. (un-cool), and while both have achieved a good/great deal of success, they never quite fit in to a particular genre, much like it seems Lupe feels.
