A friend of mine says that Lupe Fiasco is the most intelligent (or should we say has the most intelligent lyrics) hip hop artist in the last 10 years...
I'm pretty sure there have been more intelligent artist than him in the last decade...like Immortal Technique.
I like Lupe better than Immortal but his songs seem to rival or surpass Lupe's in intelligent content (both artist are high up there though).
That's just to me, yo.

Immortal Technique =/= Intelligence.
Immortal Technique = crack fiend with too much time on his hands that got bodied by poster boy .
As far as intelligence goes though, nods to Black Thought, probably next to Jay as one of my faves.
Lupe's album is much better this year.
Production took two steps forward.
Flow and breath control took two steps forward.
And there are songs that absolutely blow anything on F&L out the water
Go Go Gadget Flow
Hi Def
Put You on the Game
Intruder Alert
Streets on Fire
pretty much the only bad song is Gold Watch
And Made is so good it's ridiculous. Top 5 albums
Made
The Cool
American Gangster
UGK
Jesus Price
Scarface is making power moves to ensure his top 5 ever status with this album.
IT know's alot of history, so i can't say he's not intelligent. he just needs to stay off the conspiricy theories. songs like 'Dance with the Devil' are classic. Losing to Poster Boy was nothing, where's Poser Boy now? Haha
and i agree, i listened to 3 tracks from Mood Muzik 3 and it's definitley fire.

Lupe's not even close. And I find Tech overrated, he was more of a gateway artist for me.
You want intelligent lyrics and structures, look no further than The Genius.
The significance was not the vulgar applause on entrance
But the feeling on exit; on completion of a sentence
With age and experience my reason ripens
