One of the many reasons why lupe is one of the best rapper alive is his wordplay, so guys post ur favorite wordplay  and one that u think is the best
example FAVORITE : they say they need a hero in/heroin and so im back to dope again
              BEST: so began our rain/rein the trinity her an i can/hurricane no other man/no weather man etc (this is a bit extended)

i fucking love this wordplay

Lu don't MOO. No COW WORDS (cowards(cow-herds)], you only heard LIONS (lines)

Lu don't moo, no cow-words you've only heard lines
Lu don't moo, no cow-words you've only heard lions (u can also hear the roar in the bg in the leaked version of shining down not sure about the official one)
Lu don't move no cow-herds you've only herd lions
Lu don't move no cowards, you've only heard lions


FUCKING DOPE

An endless amount of good candidates...
It's interesting how many ways to think of his best forms of wordplay, from his metaphors, to the double/triple(/quadruple - moo, cow-words, lines - bar) entendres to his crazy rhyme schemes. The guy is the most talented lyricist in the game.

A couple that are kinda overlooked and stand out to me are thse lines when he uses long-ass words to rhyme-with that you never think you'd hear in a rap song:

"They tryin to censor the influencer,
just makes me sicker, influenza"

and

"He used his mouth as a shovel to try and hallow it,
and when he couldn't dirt-spit, he swallowed it,
workin like a.. hmm... reverse archeologist"

Not necessary his best, but a couple of my favs.

And pray to God that the flood subside
'cause you're gonna need a sub 'til he does reply
And not one of Jared's, you think it's all arid
And everything's irie, another supply
That means another July inside my endless summer
That was just the eye of the Unger
Felix, 'cause he is the cleanest amongst the younger
Now that's not about wordplay, but I just wanted to point out in case anyone missed it that Felix Unger was the younger, more cleanly and proper roommate on the hit tV show "The Odd Couple".

And then he said

"Except.. his buried treasure was sunshine
So when some shined through a hole that he had drove
it reflected off the gold and almost made son blind(sun blind)"
