This album is another amazing addition to Lupe's catalog.
Most underrappreciated of all time.
i would agree if he didnt put out lasers and drogas light
@@indigovindictive2097 ahhhh yes Drogas Light was bad but revisited Lasers and it wasn’t too bad actually. Drogas Light should have been scratched tho. I get why he wanted to just not give Atlantic his best but damn you just put out T&Y homie.
@@47keydreamz in drogas light it sounded like he was rapping in lasers its just the lupe no one wants
@@indigovindictive2097 why would he give Atlantic a monumental album for his final project after what they did? And lasers isn’t actually that bad it was just overhyped
@@maxwellsamuel3255 Lasers is bad but it isn't on the bad like revival, tetsuo and youth was probably a "fuck you, goodbye" to atlantic cause they didn't want lupe after making lasers
Why would we disagree with what Lupe said? He’s the one who created the album. HipHop DX what kind of question is that? 😂😂😂
No rapper manages to pack so much content inside his music like Lupe, the fact that you can listen to some of the songs and just enjoy them musically is great but if you are interested to learn more there is a whole world of references, metaphors, schemes, wordplay, concepts waiting.
Lupe is a different breed. He can rap with the density of an Aesop Rock or Billy Woods while still maintaining that poetic Nas-like storytelling angle and those witty one liners of a Jay-Z or DOOM. Not to mention he’s been locked in flow wise and musically for years now.
Agreed, he’s one of the few rappers that have managed to make music that sounds great and you can vibe to and pack more lyrical details that can be interpreted like you said
@@spaceepandaa spot on analysis
I always could vibe out to some Lupe without knowing 80% of what he's saying lol. His beat/instrument selection is always on point "soulful". The graveyard of meanings of his raps, just get ready to some research like you're writing a paper, googling and youtube etc.
@@spaceepandaaJust in terms of ability, I think Lupe is pound to pound the best rapper ever. Nas and Jay had more success, but Lupe wrote songs like Mural which I never heard of before from somebody else.
Lupe is what I wanted Andre 3000 to be. But he never went Solo.
Lupe Fiasco He Is A Visionary He is An Amazing Rapper Drill zion it got A lot of Meaning And understanding
For some reason this album made me want to go back to tetsuo and youth. I love this album no skips for me
People need to buy this album
Bought It 💯
@@Greymtn1031 My dude💪🏿I know it's wrong for me low key demanding people buy an album, but Lupe is my favorite rapper after Nas and I truly feel he will retire if people don't buy into his art, he already said as indie artist he doesn't buy certain beats because they cost too much, I want him to link with Pharrell again and get some production, but due to his low sales that will probably never happen.... It's rare for an artist to fall and get back up again, very very rare, I can barely think of any who have done so
That's... actually a dope inspiration for the album title. I never would've pieced that together tbh. And it relates really well to the overarching theme of the album.
People like Lupe are above the matrix everything he does is now just because he feels like it, he does not need money or fame to prove he is the best, he knows this and anybody who catches on, catches on and keeps it pushing no media arguments needed🤷♂️
He doesn't regard himself as one of the greats, I would say, based on his interviews and words out of his own mouth. It's hard to tell wether he's being humble or serious though; however that doesn't mean as fans we cannot still hail him as a GOAT! I love Lupe but recently I've started to appreciate different styles and I feel where he's coming from. I still regard him as MY personal favourite though I have to admit once I found Lupe I didn't really explore much.
Drill Music in Zion is easily a top 3 Lupe album
The scene came from Matrix 3 not Matrix 2. But still I never would had caught on that that scene was the inspiration for this album. You learn something everyday.
Lupe is on a different level.
I always check out albums that have science fiction themes, I'm a big fan of that genre and I find all that stuff interesting. Haven't heard this album yet but I hope to soon!
Yes!!! Treal!!!
Some Matrix , Akira, 1984... Brother from another planet... space is the place...
Namaste Haribol Asewe
Lupe is a living legend, literally his music changed the trajectory of my whole life. Thanks to him and a couple great teachers, I learned its possible to make smart Cool.
So glad he dropped a new record💯💯💯
Dope how Lupe had put influences from The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions on this masterpiece.
This is one of the best albums of all time imo… ppl don’t appreciate what needs to be appreciated. If ppl want lyrics… this is better than Kendrick’s album. Both great but lyrically nobody can touch this dude… just sucks that if you don’t have a big machine behind you and sell your soul enough.. you don’t get the respect and eyes on your project that you deserve
That's The Art of Storytelling for you...
Bout to stream Drill Music in Zion.
This man operates on a HIGHER plane.
There's levels, and then there's dimensions.
🙌🏾There's DIMENSIONS to this shit bra.
The freestyle where Lupe came up with the title was called Forest Fires. You can find it on RUclips. The matrix references are a bit more obvious on that song.
Greatest rapper of all time
lyrically untouchable
That’s the thing about Lupe Fiasco is most likely means 3 different things. Definitely the GOAT.
See you in SkateLand
Hardest track? 🤔💭
Leave a comment👇💯
Ghoti,Precious Things,Kiosk,Naomi,Seattle,On Faux Nem the whole album but those are my favorites and that’s 6 songs from a 10 song album 9 songs 1 intro to be exact🤷🏽♂️
King Lupe
My Goat
That album is dope
Real quick!.. it's matrix 3, is when the drill comes. But the Zion party was in part 2. I thought 2 also
Lupe lit
My ninja !
Atauze was here
Damn
Wow that's his sister, loved food and liquor.
It's what he said,
What ever happened to the last Philly rapper that separated from Jay Z? 💭
Peace…
DMIZ is more brilliant Hip Hop by one of our culture’s finest MC’s…who’s lyricism is perfectly orchestrated to convey some of the highest degrees of mental mathematics. Salute to Brother Lupe….Salaams beloved’s.
Don't.ruin.us.God.said
DRUGS!
RELOADED
I always took it as a question. So like, Drill Music is the new media boogie man but we all know art is a product of the environment of the artist so What does drill music in Zion sound like or is there even drill music in Zion ?
Do you agree with Lupe's meaning? What in the world do you mean? 😆 🤣 It's HIS ALBUM... If he says that's the meaning... THEN THAT'S THE MEANING.. NOTHING TO AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH... Please find some better ways to end your videos luv. Ugh I had a totally different comment before I heard her ask that question lol
Right? But I think there's a possibility that his sister could have taken it and expanded it to mean even more. If you listen to her intro, Ayesha fleshes it out in more literal examples than a movie reference. Lupe also historically does not like to tell people what his songs and albums are exactly about. Drill Music in Zion is a oxymoronic statement. It can be interpreted as garbage in heaven. Liquor with Food.
Ha! I was right!
Don't get how you can disagree on the meaning of the title with the man who came up with the title.
I think it means this drill music will be the death of us all.
Wasn't that Matrix 3?..
1
He spoke it? Lol wth. Give him a Grammy for this
Is the album actually good?
Yessir👍🏽✊🏽🤌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes
The whole album is free on Lupe's RUclips. He's not advertising that, but its there.
THATS HIS SISTER!! I'm such a fake fan never knew that
Hmmm... would have thought it referred to the Zion in ancient hebrew text
If the man told us the meaning, why the hell should we interpreted another way?
Lmao why ya still interviewing this guy?
Maybe cause he’s a rap legend 🤡
Cause he's one of the best to do it. You good??
duality and hypocrisy
Wtf you talking about🤔🤔
🥥 reachers 🥚
This dude voted for Joe Biden. 🤣
Who did you vote for
This is F#£&ing Hilarious!…😭😂😭
