Dude you're taking it too seriously, he's not actually earless. It's just a metaphor.

Those lyrics could also mean this:
"I'm fearless"
He isn't afraid to battle his critics.
"Now hear this"
Addressing his fans.
"I'm earless"
he doesnt listen to the critics hating.
"and I'm peerless"
He KNOWS there isnt any rapper on his level.
"That means I'm eyeless"
Which means he doesnt see them (because according to him they don't exist).
"Which means I'm tearless"
He doesnt care about what they think about him or the peerless line

It's hard to know for sure, seeing as how complex Lupe's lyrics are. They could have several meanings, rap lyrics (from talented lyricists anyway) tend to mean many different things.

But I don't want to start another argument on the internet.

If I offended anybody yesterday, I'm sorry, I was kind of in a bad mood because my friend had just been in a car accident, and I didn't know if she was okay or not. She's okay now, but she has a big lump on her head.

I asked her if I could touch it. She said no.

I don't particularly care for croutons.

Croutons are okay. It's not something I usually eat because I follow a Raw food diet (and I have for several years), but the other day my gf pretty much force-fed me one.

Ew.

this is just making me laugh for hours

Why is it so funny?

I bet you're stoned, you filthy hippie.

I would be very angry at you if I wasn't so stoned right now.

Not, and it's funny because Barbie and Ken broke up last year. And now they've started an ad campaign with Ken asking her back. I think it's cute.

Oh.

Uh...

People tell me I'm obsessed with Eminem.

I say nahhhh.

Next they'll tell me I'm obsessed with Anderson Silva, lol what a laugh.

This aint a real battle, but they're both freestyling, and this is about what would happen if they did battle, Eminem wins by utter destruction.

Check out Kane:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Daddy_Kane

Big Daddy Kane is regarded as one of the most influential and skilled golden age rappers.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][18] MTV put him at No. 7 in their Greatest MCs Of All Time list,[2] he is placed at No.4 in Kool Moe Dee’s book There's A God On The Mic: The True 50 Greatest MCs,[3] and RZA lists him as one of his Top 5 best MCs.[4] Allmusic says, “his best material ranks among the finest hip-hop of its era, and his sex-drenched persona was enormously influential on countless future would-be players”,[5] and describes him as, “an enormously talented battle MC”,[6] “one of rap's major talents”,[6] refers to his, “near-peerless technique” ”[6] and “first-rate technique and rhyming skills”[19] and says he “had the sheer verbal facility and razor-clean dexterity to ambush any MC and exhilarate anyone who witnessed or heard him perform”.[18] Kool Moe Dee describes him as “one of the most imitated emcees ever in the game”[20] and “one of the true greatest emcees ever”,[21] and Ice-T says:

"To me, Big Daddy Kane is still today one of the best rappers. I would put Big Daddy Kane against any rapper in a battle. Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, any of them. I could take 'Raw' right now and put it up against any record [from today]. Kane is one of the most incredible lyricists… and he will devour you on the mic. I don't want to try to out-rap Big Daddy Kane. Big Daddy Kane can rap circles around cats".

Big Daddy Kane is a sick ****er.

But still I think Eminem beats him. He just doesn't have the flow that Eminem has, or the lyricism for that matter.

"I'm bout as Normal as Norman Bates
With deformative traits
a premature birth that was 4 minutes late"

I mean Em's just CRAZY with his multi-syllabic rhymes.

The flow on that freestyle I posted above is incredible.

Kane is an exceptional MC though. At least you're not trying to tell me Lil Wayne is better than Eminem.

I respect your opinion.

I kind of feel stupid, when Tupac started rapping on that video at first I thought it was Royce da 5'9", he kinda sounded like him.

Ice T's depiction of Kane was dead on.

I lol'd:

Nah, I think he gave him a bit too much credit.

Could he beat Nas in a battle? Yes.

Jay-Z? Most likely.

Eminem? I don't think so.

Eminem's a much better overall MC than both Jay-Z and Nas (Eminem absolutely murdered Jay on "Renegade"😉, and that includes freestyle battling.

Eminem took second place in the 97' Rap Olympics and didn't lose by much.

He destroyed one guy with this:

"I'm bout to make this mic short curcuit
This beat is wack as ****, this shit fits you perfect
I got so many ways to diss you that I'm playful with'chyou
I'll let a razor slit you 'til they have to staple stitch you
And everybody in this ****in' place'll miss you
If you try to turn my facial tissue to a racial issue
Nobody's hearin' you, you're a wack liar
Damn, all you white jokes just backfired
'cause ***** you walkin' up the wrong street
Now go tell all your boys you was beat by a honkey
I don't give a ****, I'lll kill ya, *****
You better recognize me like a look familiar
Anything you say I'm a kill ya, grill ya
When I ****in' drill ya"

I mean he DESTROYED everybody in that competition except for one guy. It's on YouTube.

It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

ps. This also reminded me of an epic WoW vid I must watch in the near future.

So Ice T and MTV both hold Kane in higher regard than you do, so yeah, I'm gonna go with my personal opinion and what they say. I'd wager they're more qualified to judge this than we are. Fact: If Eminem were black, he'd be just another rapper.
