Lasers wasnt even Lupe Fiasco's album really, it was Atlantics. Sure, Lupe tried to salvage what he could, but it still didnt cover up the fact that he really had little to do with it. Other than some songs, like all black everything, most of the songs were Atlantic's attempt at trying to make Lupe conform to the popular genre at the time and what they wanted. It was the reason it got shelved for awhile. Heck, B.O.B's Nothin on you was originally Lupe's song that he gave away. I like Lupe and i know he never left, but he was definitely the most suppresed on Lasers, which came off as him dumbing it down.
sheraldford I feel u man. Ur obviously more educated than me on his career. N I'm sure everything ur sayin is true. So maybe he did dumb down one album because he was somewhat forced by his record label. But that's just one out of 5 albums that he didn't really give his full wrath, but I still feel like it was a very good album. N now we're getting shit like t&y and this mixtape which are just tremendous displays of artistic ability among other things. Nobody's perfect but I feel like Lupe has done everything he could in his entire career and I am extremely appreciative.
free maison He definitely did, nobody is pegging him for that (or you for that matter). Its just that a good portion of his fans think that if he isnt dropping triple metaphors or his lines are easy to understand, then he fell off. I admit Lasers was the weakest, for obvious reasons, but he still tried his best. Also just remember, this is the generation where if you fail you fail, if you succeed you fail, and if not people will try to make you fail. Lupe has gone through all the scenerios and made it out on top. And now that he is free from Atlantic, he can make his music even better.
At Lupe's best it's hard to deny his top 5 ability. The issue is he's one of the most inconsistent artist of all time. F&L and The Cool are amazing. Then he went on downward trajectory. T&Y was amazing and thought to be the return of Lupe the killer but then he dropped Drogas light which was as bad as Lasers. He seems to be unsure of which direction to take. He can go pop if he wants but that doesn't seem to be his inner goal. He loves to be complex but wants the recognition of his popular songs which he will never get when being complex. He needs to pick a lane and do it to the best of his abilities.
Honestly the fact that people going to have the balls to say he's the best rapper alive says to me that they don't have any idea what they're talking about. He's the best rapper ever. And if anybody on this planet thinks I'm wrong about that, prove me wrong. Otherwise I have plenty of evidence through his mixtapes releases and albums that many don't even understand even on the 15th play to prove their asses wrong. Have standards don't settle for anything for the best, listen to Lupe Fiasco.
Valleys is fucking fire this whole tape is fucking fire dog... I love lu, he never gets the credit he deserves, Lupe FiasGOAT for sure .... my favorite alive, my favorite besides Pac, this man is the truth too bad the masses don't care about real soulful music
guys think about it us select few have heard this beautiful mixtape, like this a carefully designed masterpiece, just gotta say we are pretty privileged to have come across this rare gem. love lighting up to this
practice on the Uttering until it Lactate, then begin the BUttering of the pancakes, push it to the Margin till the Land Lakes. Mean play on butter!!!!!!! Long live the greatest.....
whats really profound is the order of the soundtrack, he still dropping fya... "In Valleys Of Kings Pyramid Schemes..." He takes pride in his work and not in his money...
Lupe lol my dude lol I would have happily have paid for this man. Stop giving us free shit my dude. All of this reading this would love to buy this ish
As a MGS lore junkie. David Ohs lines about the world being one is scary as hell. But humans are on that track with all the apps. For good or not. Kojima really was beyond his time with the MG franchise.
''No, no one knows shots / no boys & no thots / I walk them over the motorboat on the yachts / to go so sober on all the shirk & overdose on salats / ha! Franics Ford Coppola spoken plots / Hyannis Port localists, rolling in open drops / Titanic corpse smoking from opening throats with chops / Lycanic moon lit leader, locing with loaded Glocks, ha!'' /
Still crazy how everything he drops is fire but never gets the recognition
The life of a firespitter man. Been that way since Food and Liquor. People only like Superstar
+JohnIn3D _ true shit sad but true
+JohnIn3D _ yes bro. Went to his concert and mfs just wanted to hear show goes on. Like get out of here with that
Jackmerius Tacktheritrix LOL WTF

You can tell this man just loves to write raps. I'm so glad he's off Atlantic and can just focus on making the music he wants man.

Here with you 🙏🏻💯
Lupe wins the MVP award for 2015 in hip hop. Drops a classic in T&Y and now this
RIP to the future of the young rappers careers' longevity. Music like the music Lupe emits withstands time easily
Lupe fiasco never dumbed it down for those who couldn't keep up. I appreciate that my G.
Alexander Pollock yeah, so...? You couldn't keep up?
I don't know man. I feel like he was just more blunt about his views and it wasn't really made for people who didn't already fuck with him

He's a top 10 of all time hands down.
Sure is.
maybe top 5. definitely the best out now
antonio robertson it's him or Kendrick for me.

The intro samples the Metal Gear Solid V e3 2015 trailer if anyone's curious. I like that he throws some nerdy shit in without it sounding too corny.
+CIB8282 That's not the most nerdy shit I'd say
These part of this tape is the Metal Gear Solid dialogs. Respect
so happy he left Atlantic!! now we getting the true lupe fiasco, lets go!
I am loving the live music arrangements. Long Live Lupe
metal gear solid, that sample is sick
Still playing this 🔥🔥🔥
Valleys is fucking fire this whole tape is fucking fire dog... I love lu, he never gets the credit he deserves, Lupe FiasGOAT for sure .... my favorite alive, my favorite besides Pac, this man is the truth too bad the masses don't care about real soulful music

Literally gave me shivers.
practice on the Uttering until it Lactate, then begin the BUttering of the pancakes, push it to the Margin till the Land Lakes. Mean play on butter!!!!!!! Long live the greatest.....
He is one of the GOATs. Hands down.
Lupe is one of the best lyricists of all time.
To me, he's the 2nd coming off Nas the way he paints pictures in your minds with words.
Valleys deserves a Grammy.
Sean P Joseph my fave song it goes stupidd!!
So does pyamids, like damn that nigha just went full acopllla on us
Why am I just finding this??! Damn I need this like air in my lungs!
Even the cover is on a genius level. Its a Pharaoh, but we (The Black Gods) cant see it clearly. Damn A poet and artist on all levels!
In a sing lupe says he don't believe that god is a black man

Digging the Dilla & Busta samples on 'Valleys', groovy track!
I've been listening to lupe since I was like 10 ha but most recently I've been craming as much I can and man oh man my man's a serious pysconaut imo
😂😂😂 maybe
i don’t think so
I been listening to this since it came out years ago. Lupe slaughtered this shit and he's the king of Chicago in my eyes
ITS LIKE SATURDAY MORNING - AND THIS BRAND NEW CARTOON IS ABOUT TO COME ON--COOL INTRO LUPE-
Lupe be holding it down 🔥🔥
Man put Skull Face’s monologue on his ep, fresh
I was brought here a slave, but I leave here a Pharaoh..
💯
lupe. top 5 hip hop artist proof. n his wordplay top 3
+Isiah Shelton Legend, no doubt. GOAT potential
Ever since Black Radio dropped, I've beeen looking for more Lupe Fiasco and Robert Glasper. I'm glad I finally found it, though old, in 2022.
whats really profound is the order of the soundtrack, he still dropping fya...
"In Valleys Of Kings Pyramid Schemes..."
He takes pride in his work and not in his money...
He is one of the few true artist left in Music people have forgotten what art really is.
So many people missed that message in the track listing
This is such an amazing creation lupe. This is TALENT! You are in my top 5
Lupe lol my dude lol I would have happily have paid for this man. Stop giving us free shit my dude. All of this reading this would love to buy this ish
Man, who produced Valley? That beat is fucking crazy.
Jeremiah Hughes say this shit again. jazz soul n hip hop on the 2nd part pure geniuss!!
this the type of shit i wanted to hear from lupe 4 years ago before lasers i guess good things come to those who wait
Mixtapes are always the best music rappers drop because it's all them and they aren't being influenced or restricted by a label.
