I have a new breakdown brewing for yall, and let me just say, it might have the most complex verse of the year so far it’s crazy. Stay tuned, and thank you all for the support.
One thing I think would be a credit to your channel is giving breakdowns for Lupe’s catalog in its entirety. That would make you the one stop shop for Lupe breakdowns. Then you could take those out them into a playlist and be on to the next artist. Just a suggestion
@@100yardalchemist3 as much as I would love to do that, i don’t think anyone has the time to go through all of his work. I’ll do most if not all of Samurai before expanding to new artists
@@corcko come on fam it’s a long run play. It would make your channel one of one. But hey it’s your channel I’m just a spectator here. I’m not going to stop watching but it is a sad day indeed.
@@100yardalchemist3 I appreciate the feedback, I'll definitely go over some of his other stuff but probably not ALL his songs, I'm pretty sure he has at least 200 released songs and as much as I dig the lyricism, pretty sure most people would get burnt out going through everything. Thanks for tuning in though! More Lupe to come
@@corcko hear me out…. The RU-vid video version of rap genius. Assemble a team of people and crank out the videos. Let’s make it happen corcko I see great thing in your future. Imagine being the one stop shop for all lyric breakdowns also not for nothing there are 14 likes on my first comment. That means at least that many people had the same idea or is willing to utilize this as a means of understanding what the artist was thinking. Tell you what just sleep on it because daunting doesn’t mean impossible it just means it’s hard. The pay off is well worth it.
@@corcko message! A lot of the comments are telling you to be the RU-vid rap genius. People don’t really read these days so if someone could give the consumers a audio visual version… to the moon ijs
Nice breakdown video you hit a lot of points…but you missed alot to by trying to connect Amy Winehouse to every song on the album..the project was made in dedication to her not written from her perspective..only the song Samurai is meant to her..trust me I know Lupe personally and I also know TimesNuRoman the RU-vid page that did the first Lupe fiasco Breakdown videos..so for example when he says 3rd verse Lord please Bless my Palace of bones hes referring to his Body and his health not a physical house made of bones being more sturdy…& at the end of the 2nd verse he was not reflecting Amy wine house he was simply giving jewels to all rappers who’ve gone thru fame and lost passion have to learn again how to rap from the heart…Lupe has openly stated that the Song Samurai was inspired by Amy Winehouse he made it into a project with some accompanying songs but every song isn’t written from her perspectives or with her in mind…kinda like the Lupe portrait Mazinger the song was inspired by Mazinger but the entire project wasn’t from mazingers perspecti. This song is a personal song solely about Lupe and his struggles mistakes and success within his career. You should go look into TimesNuRomans breakdowns of Lupes older material so you can further understand why Lasers is Lupes Favorite album, not sure why you assumed he meant he lost passion on Laserz and Drogas Wave was another album inspired by something else no lack of passion in these projects
Also the song Mumble rap is not a reflection of any winehouse he’s referring to himself and a curse that was hypothetically placed on him to only Rap very good everytime he opens his mouth…this same curse was referenced in the Lupe song Body of work on Tetsuo album…also when he says he has alot of baggage on his roof rack…and alot of habits that produced that…that means he has alot of things on his mind so sometimes he sits in the booth with lights off “booth black” don’t disturb him cause he’s only thinking of ways to rhyme about what’s he’s physically and mentally going thru. You missed this entire point because you simply don’t understand the slang he’s using…& you want every song to be a reflection of Amy winehouse…I have to ask is that what prompted you to do these half breakdowns of what you “think” he means? Because of the Amy wine house angle because lines on his 9th album why are you just now trying to understand and educate RU-vid about his barz…
Hey man, thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it. I know I am not going to hit everything, and I apologize. You are right, I am not totally in tune with ‘the culture’, I just started this channel because I wanted to share what I got out of the songs and because I enjoy Lupe’s music. This channel is just a passion project that i do when I have time. Thanks for tuning in, I will do better
Yep the second verse is all about his troubles with Atlantic. They forced him to do the song will Jill Scott because they wanted a commercial song on the album. Ironically that song won him a Grammy. It features Jill Scott who is an R&B artist from Philadelphia that sings the chorus. Maybe Im reaching but it's lupe. Another thing that was ironic to me was when I revisted daydreaming the concept of the song especially the second verse is anti pop music. Like he purposely was getting back at the label for making him include the song. Also the being anonymous bar reminded me when they refused to release lasers and the hacker group basically blackmailed them to get it released.
Thought this video was about to be some bullshit. You kind of have an AI Bot voice lol. But great interpretation of the video. I am the guy who annotated the Tyrone/Erykah Badu line. Not sure if it fits in with the concept of the song but that what’s came to mind when I heard it
@@markbrunache648 thanks for that btw, would not have caught that without you! I do use an ai voice but that’s just cause I don’t think my voice would fit these typa videos and I don’t have the funds for a voice actor.
@@corcko ok. I understand. Hopefully most of the viewers will be attracted to your content/breakdowns. But I’m not in the RU-vid world so the voice modulator could be a sound decision
Tyrone theme carried on for a couple of bars too. In the song she is telling Tyrone to move out of her house and get his personal belongings. A few bars later he is talking about his baggage and luggage on top of the car, he moving on from bad record deals. Baggage is used often to talk about things you bring into new relationships from your past, implying that everything he went through with Atlantic impacted him moving forward.
You actually said he’ was referencing the three little pigs houses lmmao….omg and also he said my soul calls my skeleton Homeless on the phone…Lupe would never rhyme the word Home with Home…you had to look on genius to know he was referencing the Well known Erykah Badu Song Call Tyrone…??? Bruh you should contact me before your next breakdown video because I can not believe you don’t know that but are trying to decipher Lupe lyrics as if your in tuned with the culture…Tyrone Tracy has absolutely nothing to do with this line…that’s a reach…don’t tamper with or sample my songs means just that…when he died don’t sample his music unless your a lyricist…and please stop saying the album was written from Amy winehouse perspective because it was not I promise you.
