Lupe Fiasco’s DRILL MUSIC IN ZION Blows My Mind! 🤯 

agreed, I think Lupe should go more for this style in his future. A much more listenable album than Tetsuo and Youth imo. No hate they’re both already classics but I feel u

Tetsuo & Youth is very listenable imo. Its dense & abstract lyrically for sure but sonically its one of his most accessible albums

He got better and found ways of making the same points with less, Dude is at the top of his game.

Facts. p.s. Your sentiments are also reflected lol.

I can't even be mad at this opinion. It's damn near a fact at this point.

Seriously. I feel like Drogas proved it, but now this "tape" basically being a collection of freestyles off the top with the content he shares and level of lyricism is unmatched in the game. All the other "GOATs" would need months to write this well. 72 hours to finish it makes it just that much more impressive

Fully agree the average human brain including mine just can’t even begin to comprehend what his music even means. A pure genius would probably take a full day to dissect ms mural and that’s just one of his several tracks that he made in 72 hours. Lyrical genius

Yeah bro I agree, I put him top 8 lyricisits of all time

What’s her full name actually?

@@barry4649 Ayesha Jaco, Lupe's sister.

@@carlosrp23 wow, I never knew that, I thought it was just some random woman he got for all his albums 😂

She’s always given me similar vibes to that of Ursula Rucker and her spoken word pieces she did for The Roots, I wonder is that where the inspiration was from

Banks is about to drop COTI2 as well, and that’s gonna be amazing.

Ransom

Not to mention Black Star’s second album with madlib. K dot’s, Lupe’s and theirs are album of the year contenders for me. But Benny’s and Pusha’s were incredible as well. Let’s see what JID is going to come with.

They need to distract us from the fall of the system

Lupe dropped the day after my birthday

Not just that, on GARAGE BAND. Like wtf

I wish eminem could do the same Instead we get wack stuff 😭😭

he's a one in a billion lyricist. Never will see another like him.

@@Gintoki_Madao let EM evolve thats his path

@@sonofmann evolve? What do you mean?

@@Gintoki_Madao we are talking about artists who have developed their own voice and we have to let them do what they do without wanting them to do what someone else does.

Literally same! Listened to nothing else all week

What about Kendrick 🤔🤔🤔?

@@jathanthmith1519 I loved Kendrick’s album. And while I find Kendrick’s message very important, and a vital one for people, sonically and musically, lupe was a slight better album in my opinion. But that’s just me

@@YaBoy_JayDawg I will admit that Lupe raps at a higher level (lyrically) than Kendrick especially comparing the creative work of these two albums

He also is avoided cause he goes way over mfs heads

When the media and the market wants you to "dumb it down" Lupe starts lecturing in MIT

The crazy thing too is that he didn’t even write shit down for this album

It's the one you can show your friends for more causal enjoyment for sure lol

Billy woods and redveil should be in that convo

Billy woods album is incredibly produced & written but not very listenable at all

@@chrismalinowski654 not listenable??? TRIPPIN.

@@justsomejusstsome8994 it's abstract hip hop it's made for very specific types of people

Dope as fuck. Jazz was always my favorte Autobot next to Opitmus Prime

No way. You being fr??

@@chrismalinowski654 Yes that is correct

@@chrismalinowski654 the original/demo versions are on youtube

That is wild! I never new that. Gotta check out those demo versions now.

He turned them joints down

People say Tupac, hov or j Cole

@@zimdollar3229 J. Cole isn’t really in the goat talk from what I understand. I’m going Nas especially now that he’s proven he can make excellent modern records with KD1 and KD2.

Radio wouldnt play him no matter how hard he tried. MTV had his back tho in the end it didnt even matter

YES ! Especially the hook “I kept my promise to the streets” I don’t know why but it just gives me so much chills. When I repeat it as well. I love the build up of the 3rd verse as well.

Kendrick is a better live performer also

I love both artists but its wrong to say Kendrick took 5 years. He wasn't working on the album most of that time. We have no idea how many days Kendrick took writing Mr.Morale but it happened in a 2 year period. He had writers block for 2 years, and the album was delayed a year due to covid, leaving a 2 year window he actually created the album. Besides the time period in which a rapper takes to make an album doesn't even matter. Nas wrote Illmatic over the course of many years. Also there was a time Lupe was famous like Kendrick. From 2006-2011 Lupe was one of the most successful mainstream rappers. All his albums charted high, he won awards, and he was featured by (and wrote) for several of the giant artists of that era like Kanye and Bruno Mars. So Lupe had already peaked commercially before Kendrick ever made it to the mainstream. Lupe had his time being "the guy" in rap, but he chose to go his own way. He's still going strong so clearly its working out for him. He's never been the guy to desire fame and money anyway.

@@yeahr1ghty yeah I think I shouldn't compare

@@Kickinthescience That's false

​@@Kickinthescience I disagree completely

I actually disagree, yea we never getting a album like the last Kendrick album but not a lot of artists open up like that, Lupe has a lot of songs/loosies that are very personal and emotional, he a lot of the time talks about him through another person/character, like Ms Mural that is pretty much about Lupe and how he looks at art, and the anger he has for some of the stuff that impacts the art negatively, I can go on about some of the other songs here and from his first 2 albums.

He’s giving us the complexity of his personality. I think it’s very personal. He spends more time thinking about society than inner demons he may not even have.

@@scottriley9398 he literally has songs where he’s talking about his suicidal thoughts on lasers it’s just everything Lupe does is abstract and he doesn’t even keep the same sound so when ppl hear him 1. He’s complex and not direct most of the time and most ppl don’t have time for that, they’re stressed they want to dance 2. His sound always changes so unless you’re a core fan who’s learned to give everything a chance it can turn you off if you heard a song like wav files and liked Lupe and then you check out his new shit and it’s Solar Midnight 3. He’s very anti industry and said stuff that was taken out of context but still will kill you in a mainstream light, stuff like “Obamas a terrorist” or “I’m no longer doing radio interviews” so he’s not pushed by radio mainstream folks the same because it’s dangerous to touch him

@@lizethwalker I agree about Lasers and none of what I said was a diss. Sadly Atlantic ruined the album and it was his worst received. I'm not saying he doesn't get personal, he's just not as plainly personal as someone like Kendrick. He's still going to give you layers. Blur My Hands. No Scratches. But Jon asked why isn't he _as_ popular as Kendrick, (that's why I only brought up Kenny, and if you ask most rap fans that's why. They can catch Kendrick a lot easier. Laziness. 90% of the reactors think Autoboto is simple and dumbed down because they literally caught none of it. (Professor Skye's channel broke it all the way down masterfully). I think when Kendrick critiques cancel culture Lupe is the example of what happens when someone keeps it 100% real on and off record, like you said. People stopped fucking with him even though he could back up his opinion (and they couldn't).

Lupe keeps his distance? Am I now in a alternate reality where Tetsuo doesn't exist?

Edit : Jay Z and Thought can interchange only certain artist in my top 10 is Lupe at 1.

And Camp lo which is where he got his style from

Yoooo ty for the info. Lupe Always dropping some gems

He did already
