Nas said the only rapper that reminds him of himself is Lupe. Thats all you need to know. Ill be here for your Lupe journey. In my opinion, he is the greatest to ever put pen to paper.
Regardless of how much his blacklisting affects his engagement and views on youtube, reacting to Lupe is ALWAYS worth it. Not only for the hip hop history, but simply being associated with this man will entrench you as a member of Hip Hop's legacy in the centuries to come. Flowers for the GOAT! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Lupe is the GOAT. Bro let me tell u... back when Air forces and all that trap shit lil wayne nem was hot. TI nem. Gucci. I heard Failure by lupe. He been 1st on my list of rappers since. But start wit the Fahrenheits
His bars are in layered🔥🔥🔥the hook is a text or chat Amy Winehouse stated in a conversation she was having talking about herself possibly being a rapper(she loved hip-hop). So this song I believe is a ode to her. Lupe first album for me is Food n Liquor..
Start with the mixtapes first to see were he came from. Start with his group Da Pak's single "Armpits" this is basically the first time on wax the is actually on youtube. Then head to the Fahrenheit 1st and 15th mixtapes.
You should start with the mixtape Fahrenheit 1st & 15th: The Truth is Among Us Yeah Lupe the best by far. Early Lu was a mixture of Jay Z lyricism with naS concepts and storytelling... on steroids. Then he got better. If you go on a Lupe journey im subbing.
This song is about the Kendrick and Drake battle. He is talking about all the fans and reactors who are adding too the beef even though they not in it. Tophat and bow tie are Kendrick and Drake. The beef went too far. We speak unspoken jokes. " Keep family business at home. This may be over your head. We are all in the opera!
There's a "she" that is mentioned throughout the song. The hook is a message that Amy Winehouse sent to Lupe sometime before she passed thinking about becoming a battle rapper. He's exploring that idea, and likening her to a samurai.
