    For him to rap that song word for word live with the lyrical degree of difficulty that song has proved Lupe is on another level with his craft. The most underrated rapper of his generation.

    Effortlessly running through an 8 minute song word for word. He's written hundreds of songs already that he has memorized, so to remember this entirely and not miss a step is remarkable. To me it also solidifies that he's the most skilled to ever touch a mic. His brain is non-stop genius.

    A lot of people have been asking, why is it so quiet or why didn't the fans rap along.
    Personally, I didn't want to ruin it. I've been to concerts before and felt comfortable singing over the artist but this was amazing. Also, it's one of THE most complex songs in modern rap. I still can't rap to this song to this day, I just put it on and always... DAMN. This album was a true master piece. Treating this concert like any other would be rap sacrilege. Just listen and give respect.

      I've seen him many times. Last time he couldn't remember the lyrics to the songs on food and liquor and the cool. He got like 1 verse in and quit. I was embarrassed that I recommended the show to others. I've seen him 7 times in concert and the last 2 were poor performances. What he was doing from like 2008 up to about 2016 was crazy. he's weak now. Somethings wrong with him.

    I started rapping/freestyling/writing/performing when I was 15 yrs old because of how heavily Lupe Fiasco inspired me. This video helped me realize I've grown comfortable with my performances by spitting over vocals smh first I had only used hooks then Adlibs and now verses as well. I'm able to rap my entire songs, but now I want to go back to my roots and push my limit and ability. I won't grow if I have clutches, they'll secretly convert into crutches...ya smell me? I need to go back to my beginnings to reeach greater heights. I used to read a book a week, then it was per month, then next thing ya know I haven't read a full book in probably over a year now. I used to jump rope while freestyling everyday and now I'll do it every other week. Hell nah ima get back to it. I won't post my full life story or every thing I've been lacking lately, but I know I can do better. This helped me A LOT.

      True MC? As if he's is part of thriving Hip Hop lyricist community when In actuality it isn't but a handful of rare geniuses on earth that can match his skill set. Lupe is a strange talent. He has fucked up my top 5. He is the absolute most talented rapper alive. Let me mention a few others in no particular order.

I listen to this song ateast twice a day cuz it's sooo fuckin in depth. I catch something new almost every day. The wordplay, doube and triple ontondras, sometimes quadruple ontondras lol.

    Mural is easily in my top 3 best songs lyrically. The reason why people can’t rock with him or this song is because it’s too intelligent and has too many meanings for people to follow. People nowadays don’t like lyrical rappers much at all. It’s all about unintelligent trappers throwing ad libs over a trap beat. It’s frustrating.
