"One minute it's raising up the brand the next it's shredding it to flakes." -Lupe Raisin... Bran... Flakes... Cereal Bars 🐐 "Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim thru it?" - Jay-Z
When heaven loses a job, hell wins staff - is also can said “hells wind staff” which is a nod to Wutang and a callback to the intro when he’s say “fatal flying guillotine”
@@Epok17 That’s fair enough haha but appreciate your comment though, blew my mind a tad because this dude fr made this in like 3 days and it’s such a dense project 😭
Lupe says that he wishes he didn't have to make this album because he says that he genuinely cares about these problems. That is why every song has a message.
2nd verse on DMIZ was unreal. Talking about the people falsely accused but we only knew they were innocent after DNA tests revealed it after they were put to death. But we shouldn't be happy bc the real killer's still out there complaining about his neighbors. At the end of the verse Lu's neighbor was complaining about Lu's party. And Lu said "I know exactly what you did and you gon pay for it you bitch!" Next level fucking story telling.
Since I don't see anything about it in the comments, the last song on faux nem (French word for fake, faux) the original expression comes from Chicago, pronounced like on fote'n em
to answer your "dress up as dre or michael jordan" questioning, it's simply because the history of blackface in america. yeah it can be innocent to dress up but it would always be left up to interpretation which leaves room for it to be racially motivated. if blackface minstrel shows never happened then dressing up as black celeb by a white person wouldn't be a big deal at all. that would also mean historically in the usa post slavery a lot of racist stuff would have never happened:
"I wish that you were lying to me" This about in the past we were looking for the realest rappers. People who actually did what they were rapping about. Now we have Chicago Drill, where they are talking about real murders that they know about or even participated in. You know rappers like King Von, Foolio, Yungeen Ace... shit like that. So this is a flip of that. I wish that y'all were just lying and not actually out there murdering each other.
It is not ok to have a ghostwriter in rap in my opinion, that diminishes the value of the art and allows anyone who ordinarily wouldn’t be able to come into hip hop in. i.e. Soulja Boy and damn near every single artist that came after him.
All I want to say is LLOYD BANKS is the best punchline rapper. I love Wayne too but He wasn’t punching heavy until 05. Banks was punching three years prior. Also Fab was punching too. Banks has the hardest punchlines
@@MaximusTheChosenOne I don’t think you heard all of Banks’s mixtapes to say that he’s not on the same level as Wayne. Funny thing about Wayne is. He can say some basic shit or have a weak verse and Wayne fans will be amazed at Everything he does lol
@@MaximusTheChosenOne 🤦🏾♂️ thats my bad lol, I read that completely wrong. So I’m a huge Banks fan, a lot of times when I mention his name people laugh like he shouldn’t be mentioned at all or something like he’s a joke and I get defensive. I was thinking Wayne because of what the guy in the video said about Wayne. My fault lol
I’m sorry I love y’all reactions but I was extremely annoyed by the white dude going on his race portraying tangent… it was a little too much but other than that love you guys channel
Bruh you gotta chill. Chicago is currently a great city. The rural areas are decaying. The cities while they have their problems are far better. I promise you've never been to Chicago too much Fox News in your feed.
Wayne has not written all his shit. Up until The Carter 2, Wayne was getting help especially by Gillie The Kid who is whole style he emulated. Gillie even gifted his chain in a video. Also, Jay-Z is a GOAT due to his longevity. He is a good lyricist but he is not outta this world great.
Him saying Wayne is the best punchline rapper really bothered lol. Like Lloyd Banks and Fab was punching before Wayne. Banks still has the hardest punchlines since 2002. Wayne ain’t start punching until 05 during his mixtape run
@@marleylongdreads exactly... no diss to anybody because research needed but people need to go back and see guys like Lord Finesse and Big L also. Emcees been doing dope punchlines for years, some didn't get the shine and some unfortunately lost their lives.
