Listening to Lupe is like listening to beautiful high level literature with mathematics over dope beats.
Straight facts
When I find the lie in that comment, I'll let you know.
@@kingsp.efeokotie3459 😂😂😂😂
Dope beats is debatable at times but otherwise I agree. Lupe is Kendrick’s lyricism on roids!
Because I believe he said in a interview for his Drogas Wave rollout that he considers his music as fine art so you're pretty on point!
I've been telling people they're sleeping on Lupe since Food & Liquor.
I've been saying since then also and his mixtapes
But he don't need to be doin stuff like this. This is just some spiritual lyrical bs. It makes sense, but who's gonna go through everything sk did in this to understand? He needs to go battle rap with stuff like this, not try to make songs
@@ja9145 Listen to his song "Dumb it down".
100% facts 🔥🔥🔥
Lupe’s good but he’s a niche rapper. I will always like Doom, Immortal Technique, Crooked Eye, Tech N9ne etc. but Lupe doesn’t just spark any interest imo.
Lupe Fiasco was Kendrick Lamar before Kendrick. He had a lot of issues with his label and marketing, and he was ahead of his time. I’m not trying to compare them because I am a fan of both, but Lupe is a top tier lyricist and nobody can argue with that
Lupe is his own rapper, he's not a kendrick, or a kendrick before a Kendrick.
Ras Kass was lupe before lupe!
@@kaz4442 for real. These K Dot stans truly are delusional
@@cainificationI’m not a Kendrick Stan at all, in fact the point I am making is that Lupe Fiasco was ahead of his time and the rapper that Kendrick is trying to be now, Lupe was doing that long before. I think Lupe is better than Kendrick and tbh everyone else. I was listening to Lupe before it was cool to listen to Lupe. I remember people laughing at me when I would say he’s better than Jay and Wayne lyrically.
@@cainificationthe internet didn’t forget that Lupe is “pro adolf” 🤦🏾♂️💀
“Consuming the comments and then vomiting up the Vonnegut” 😮💨🔥🔥🔥
Vonnegut is an incredible writer and has some quotable material. It was a fire ass reference.
Some good Vonnegut quotes: “I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.”
“A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”
“Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.”
“Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?”
“The practice of art isn't to make a living. It's to make your soul grow.”
“And a step backward, after making a wrong turn, is a step in the right direction.”
“The function of the artist is to make people like life better than they have before.”
Could be a double on Royce, slaughterhouse
yeah but then you have to read lol. Vonnegut has some great stuff for those willing.
@@MacLaw3084 Welcome to the Monkeyhouse is my personal favorite. Slaughterhouse would be second. But he has TONS of great work.
@MacLaw3084 nobody readin in 2024. Most don't even know how to listen.
Lupe got your azz up here doing research like you prepping for an exam😂
Half a verse in and we all be on Genius or googling endlessly
@@ImInYourBrains “I deal with words, and I deal with reference points. That’s like my job. That’s what I’m good at, and that’s what I choose to do,” Lupe explained. “I’m not trying to belittle you if you don’t understand it. I’m not trying to set up this category of elite people who only believe you have to be of a certain level of intelligence to ‘get it.’”
@@bulletdancestorm554 That is exactly the impression I get from his work! I never saw him looking down his nose or being elitist. I saw it as him showing us and challenging our ears. To not holiday our days away and intellectually sedate.
Breaking down Lupe really like doing a college book report
Been like that since revenge of the nerds
I wanna thank SK and the rest of the comment section for opening my ears up to Lupe Fiasco. Kendrick and Lupe, both bring artistry and passion to the music they give the fans. Ain't gonna compare. Just gonna listen, enjoy and vibe. 😎
Lets clear some misconceptions right out the gate.
This track is one that Lupe was working on 3 years ago. He posted an ig live of him rappin a verse. You can find it on youtube.
The album this is on was something Lupe started 5 years ago. This album has an autobiographical layer and a tribute layer. The tribute is to Amy Winehouse.
Lupe just tweeted:
"A loving & living portrait to and of one of my favorite artists, Amy Winehouse. I’ve done many portraits of people I admire over the years. Some public and some private. This one took on a life of its own and became an album. Looking forward to sharing it."
So why am I saying this. Cause yall need to understand that this track and the album its on has NOTHING to do with Kendrick vs Drake beef that happened a month ago.
Lupe typically releases something every 2-3 years. 2 years ago he released DMIZ and 2 years prior he released House. Why am I saying this? Cause yall need to understand that Lupe didnt change his regular cadence/schedule to take advantage of Kendrick vs Drake. Lupe has said again and again that he dont care about chasing clout. He even made Joe Budden apologize for implying that he rapped on Andre3k's flute track to take advantage of the buzz at the time. Lupe fans know that Lupe is a nerd about the craft and he rapped over Champagne Poetry and Mona Lisa before because he liked them shits. Same for 3 stacks new album. Lupe stopped chasing numbers and the mainstream 10+ years ago. He even said that Tetsuo & Youth and DMIZ arent for casuals; they are for his core fans and they are inspired by fine art which he believes the mainstream culture doesnt really fuck with.
Some rappers dont live their lives according to trends and changes in the wind of whats poppin. Lupe is one of those ones.
Everything that I said, I can back up with a source cause I actually follow Lupe like that. Most of yall dont be lookin out for what Lu on like that. Most of yall didnt even listen to DMIZ. Lets keep it a buck fifty
This needs more likes!
Zero lies told.
SPOT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🫡
What he said!
Lupe has BEEN like this!!!! I'm glad more people are noticing it
Frfr 💯
Lupe changed my way of thinking when he first dropped food n liquor.
I never thought about hiphop the same. He’s my top 5
Bring yo dictionary, yo thesaurus, and keep a Google tab open for the famous author references. 😂
Bro is Rap Rapping on this one!
Don’t forget the science books: biology; chemistry; physics and geography/ecology books.
Been bumping Lupe since 2008. Yes, that man has flows on flows.
Same here
people sleep on slr 2
Facts for me was when I heard his verse with Kanye west which I heard a month after kick push. I didn't like that song when it came out but it grew on me later on in my life
.... on flows... ON flows!
Same here it’s sad how much he is slept on he is the greatest poet of our generation over all
Lupe still slept on
Lupe rapping like rent is due
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
1st n 15th
Like he got an eviction notice
@@zacoone nice. 🤌🏾😮💨😂
As a PROUD Lupe stan. Fun Fact: Fiasco is a STRONG part of the reason Genius exist. Creators words I believe. And I do think there's some personal shots because Lu has had issues with Kenny/TDE in the past. Even going on record to say he felt Logic has had more deeper bars then Lamar.
Didn’t he say that Drake was better than Kendrick?
Thats why he's a professor at MIT 💯
Vonnegut was an incredibly powerful writer of satire. He had a knack of saying something that would often evoke 2 different emotions. At first, something he says will be funny to the reader, but then it really sinks in and punches you in the heart.
"Slaughterhouse Five" is one of the most poignant pieces of literature in the last century, at least for me. I couldn't put it down.
Let’s not forget Royce was in slaughterhouse.
Thats what i was thinking @@nategiddens9620
I slept on Lupe until I heard him eat Royce with a freestyle. Royce is in my top 10 best lyricist, so to see Lupe destroy him with a freestyle was crazy. Lupe’s the real deal.
which freestyle was this?
Yep that’s why when Royce was talking about what Drake did wrong I was thinking “I can’t stand Drake but at least he responded” 😂😂😂
@@izzy80 ruclips.net/video/yURAYp1-Tbw/видео.htmlsi=HXF5MxcgBeD7-_QO
Lupe demolished Nickel on that Steve Jobs joint
Probably the most overrated freestyle of all time.
This song not a diss to kendrick. I think if lupe wanted to diss dot he would flat out do it. Honestly if you a true fan you know this just light work for lupe. He being doing this shit for 20 plus years.
I mean we have a few examples. The latest with Royce. When Lupe targets a rapper, its clear from the first few bars and Lupe will not let up off of the neck of his opponent. Aint nobody going to be confused about whats going on or who he is dissing.
I think Lupe is trying to reassert his dominance as the master MC. People sleep on him because he doesn't do the silly stuff other artists do.
@@Jala_haruHe doesn’t put himself out there to be criticized if he in the background.
It's not direct for Kendrick but it is clearly a piece to remind like I'm here. Don't forget that. Because it is more so directly made without anything too crazy to understand and is very much so a show off. He doesn't really do those, there usually is more when he does a song than that I'm the guy. So it's clearly a reminder that oh people want to talk about who can spazz out the best? Yeah sure. Here we go..
Kinda like backing up his words type of deal.
@aleksisuuronen5969 no its not. This album been in the works for 4+ years.
You are just mad Lupe is getting any attention and thus you accuse him of trying to steal attention. Other rappers lives and plans don't revolve around Kendrick. If lupe is releasing Samurai this summer, then it means the album was finish probably in 2nd half of 2023.
Just cause your whole world revolves around Kendrick don't mean it's true for everyone else.
This album is about Amy Winehouse and Lupe.
Has nothing to do with Kendrick in any way except what you delusional stans want to fantasize about.
Lupe got you paranoid like he under your posturepedic or possibly in your closet?
Lupe MURDERED the track! Straight fire !!! Bars, flow, cadence, beat, hook… everything ! One of the best songs / verse of the year !!!
“Consuming all the comments and Vomitting up the Vonnegut” is an awesome line. He’s talking about the comment section of social media. He’s successful because of people loving and hating him on social media. It feeds him and lets him create great works. Vonnegut is a great author and he’s comparing himself to a literary classic and genius. Also, this song is like 3 years old. He leaked the first verse, hook and beat on his instagram. Its not a reference to Kendrick. The song is part of his upcoming Samurai album which is a concept album project based on Amy Winehouse as a battle rapper. Cake is track 3, Samurai is track 1. We need the album to fully come out to get the full storyline/narrative and where each song fits in the storyline. If you are a Lupe fan, you know he loves stringing out stories and narratives/themes across multiple tracks like The Cool or Tetsuo and Youth or Drogas Wave.
Thank you for reacting to this, man is criminally underplayed.
No, hes not. Hes played the right amount .. hahha
He’s not underplayed , he fell off . It happens
@@mellothaman5113 bro why both yall in these comments hating? lupe is a legend
@@reignman420 y yall hating?
@@truestprophecy dudes obviously don't listen to Lupe but still came to listen to troll. So yeah, hating..... 🤦🏽♂️ If it ain't pushed by the machine dudes ain't listening
Lupe been like that. He's literally on another level, the issue for him is exactly what's happening in the video. People don't know what his bars mean so they just assume he's meh. But naw he really be spitting straight fire.
One of the first songs I ever heard from Lupe was Put You on Game and I have not stopped listening to him since. He has made some phenomenal music over the years. Gotten me through some tough times too!
😮
It’s not music to get high but to get by 🤙🏽.
@@tigere1111 facts!
I'm the reason it's become this way!
@9:09 Janis Joplins song 'Cry Baby'. Droplets. He's saying he'll make you cry like its the apocalypse. Great song.
Lupe was and still my favorite rapper ever. The flow is like "King Nas" from Drogas Wave.💯🔥🔥🔥
Bruh people sleep on that record
Copying Nas ok
@@RockLee-q1g Giving Nas props. It's a difference. Lupe can manipulate WAY more styles than Nas can. That's not a diss to him either.
@@divineeternity7268 yeah i don't wanna say it but lupe is superior to nas skill wise, i mean lyrically it's obvious i guess
@@molnet999 I agree. Every rapper has a narrative about them. Some are true some are exaggerated but pure lyricism is where Lupe don't lose.
His cadence was non-stop for all three versus. This song is dope.
#TeamLupe
there was only two verses...
@@snowhawk04 I was thinking there was three because there was a small break in the middle of the first verse. Not enough for a hook or bridge but definitely not just catching a breather. I could be wrong.
Absolutely Dope
Damn...Thank you, Stevie, for reacting to this! Needed one of the big reactors to do this.
Tetsuo & Youth I listened to yesterday and it’s a masterpiece!
Genius stays open for the entire first playthrough of any Lupe track, he's really on a different level of consciousness lol
Lupe has always been slept on.
By who? The casual listeners? Nobody cares about those type of fans. Lupe gets praised by the hip hop community for being a top tier lyricist god…
This is freaking Genius, been a fiasco fan period
Vonnegut was also a reference to Rocye. Slaughterhouse which was his rap group
When i heard slaughterhouse thats what i thought lol.
He got these really neat
Very beautifully alliterated
Little battle raps for you 🔥
Appreciate the reaction to this Masterpiece. The whole concept of the album is supposed to be if Amy Winehouse was a battle rapper lol it goes deep.
I’m not gonna lie I was jamming this shit vibing just happy Lupe dropped some new music but since you took the time to break
It down this shit is way even harder. You definitely earned a new subscriber
Lupe is so underrated it’s crazy
Y'all are just now recognizing Lupe
Exactly 😂 like Food and Liquor and the Cool didn't let y'all know ✊🏾
Who’s y’all? He’s been considered as one of the best lyricist of all time by the hip hop community in recent years. Did you forget he already had his mainstream run? Not to mention, Stevie has reacted to him before lmao 🤦♂️
When it comes to pure skill and lyrical ability there’s really nobody that can mess with Lupe Fiasco. there are artists that make better songs than him and who are more commercially appealing but if we are just talking about the skill of rapping, he is at the top
3000
@@seantonge I love André 3000, but he is nowhere near the skill level of Lupe Fiasco. He does not have one song or verse close to the song mural. Andre 3000 is incredible and is on a shortlist for the best lyricist of all time, but he cannot put together words like Lupe
JID on his way
@@3self he is nowhere near the skill level of Lupe Fiasco. He is nice and talented but there are levels to this, and he falls very short. Show me one verse or lyric comparable to anything Lupe Fiasco has. I’m still finding hidden entendres and schemes in the song Mural.
@@ShadzVibez deadass I know but when I listen to any of JID work , I can’t shake the feeling he’s up next , he’s more than nice imo. have you listen to any of his albums? If so you should. At least his latest. Id love to hear your thoughts on him after a deep dive. I’m not saying he’s better the lupe but he’s up next.
Prepare yourself for album of the year
Em will have that
@@IceIceShady I'm really looking forward to his album too but we'll have to wait.
@@IceIceShady
That'll most likely be Kendrick Lamar who is also dropping next month alongside Lupe and Em.
Not a single Eminem album goes anywhere near what Kendrick or Lupe has produced. They both create deep albums with substance. Eminem just raps.
@@IceIceShadyHell No
It's gonna be an interesting summer. for Hip Hop, it seems.
I'm so glad you giving this exposure, everyone knows he's a lyrical God, but very few know he be FLOWING and skating on beats when he wants to
Lupe can rap.. you know he can rap. Been saying he is the best for awhile nobody wants to get in the ring with him. KDOT where ya at
Professor Lupe at it again!!!!! Lupe shaking his head jn the affirmative like he knew he outclassed everyone in the game....😂 and damn did it
The only thing i have against lupe is this...
Kendrick had a legitimate problem with Drake, Lupe WANTS a problem with Kendrick. It screams attention seeker. Id rather have them both on a track. Not sure why lupe wants enemies so bad.
Yeah as a Collab they would kick it 🔥🔥
Only way to get out there when you been blackballed in the industry for years.
Attention seeker? The only reason he even said that shit about not being scared of no smoke is because Kendrick fans went wayyyy off script and tried to sell the narrative that Lupe apologized to Kendrick like Cole did and that bullshit went viral and outlets like Complex picked it up and put out articles saying Lupe among a group of rappers who apologized to Kendrick on some scared ish.
Lupe had no choice but to clear that up. He never apologized to Kendrick and aint scared of him.
Everytime he gets dragged into shit and he responds then all of a sudden its him wanting attention. Its lose lose. In this case, the best thing for him is to speak with his chest. And he did. Lupe doesnt care about clout or numbers. But he cares about his legacy. Thats why he had to put a stop to the insane narratives created from twisting his words and the context of his words.
It's rap. It's competitive. You don't have to have a problem with someone to go at them.
I disagree I actually think because hip hop is a competitive sport at its core that means at any point you should be able to call whoever out to a sparring match like Kenny did on control.. it really shouldn't be a big deal.
ominous as a monster is
Underneath your Posturepedic, possibly in the closet... this was a reference to his bars on his song "Go to Sleep" where he says ; "My "can do" spirit's in the house
And is possessing your possessions, did you hear it by the couch?
Boogieman under your bed, not in your closet
Cause I'm not a hxmx
Won't drill no door hole
I won't make a peep, so you can go to sleep..." he also got a track callled "super cold" which is why he sooooo cold
Both 2 of my favorites.
I was about to write this. Lupe fans better show up in these comments. Let people know that this shit aint surface level. Lupe an iceberg. Most of what he putting down can only be seen deep under water.
As a HUGE Lupe and Kendrick fan, objectively, I genuinely feel like if lupe had the commercial success and resources that kendrick has had, he'd be widely considered the GOAT or at least top 3 dead or alive. There's no rapper on earth that can do what he does 🐐✨️
No way but I respect it.
@@liquidsunshine697 why not bro?
His whole region would have to support him. His begging as overly "conscious" is what limited his initial growth. It was only accessible to now niche (hip-hop) viewership in rap
Yea, naw, bro
There are definitely rappers alive that can do what he does. He's cold but he ain't no top 3 conversation stuff let's be real. He's not top 10. He's not top 20.
At LEAST top 3 dead or alive? Eminem, Tupac, Wayne, just to save time, which one of those 3 are you removing to put Lupe top 3?
Vomiting up the Vonnegut is also wordplay because a person vomits up their guts. Vonne-gut.
2024 is turning out to be the year for us bar heads. Lyrical miracles almost seem like they are teaming the fk up to change hiphop back.
This song been getting tons of plays in my house.
Cmon lol … Lupe Triashco …. Just horrible.., weak voice , no distinctive flows , no hits …. Still better than drake tho but then … he is a pdf after all 😂 basically a rapper that thinks he’s smarter than he is …. Never heard a single person in real life that identity’s as a Lupe fan 😂😂😂
@@robdigital1383leave the “slow cass” and take a trip to the rest of the building.
Lupe samurai is a good vibe too but clearly wrong saying drake is a better rapper
People forget Lupe will kick push a conscious mural of lyricism leaving your wig split 🤯
I also don't know any other rappers who took em to class at Harvard!
People couldnt comprehend animal pharm! The book or lupes song version of it.
Drill music in zion shit on mr morale period.
He's actually a professor at MIT. He teaches lyricism there. Crazy!
This is lightwork for Lupe as far as lyrical content goes.
Lyrically, it was light, but from a rhyme scheme and word choice angle, it was top tier.
@nyrisj what does this even mean? What is being lyrical if not being deliberate with your rhyme scheme and word choice?
@NuSocTheKelDor some of the word choices (at least in the 1st verse) sounded like they were placed just 4 the purpose of rhyming (like "obelisk" or "Apocalypse")
Overall, the cadence isn't particularly new (it's reminiscent of Big Pun), so that 1st verse felt light in terms of certain word choices and the cadence may have felt dated 2 some of us.
@@vendeezel I thought "Apocalypse" was referring to Tupac(alypse) because he then refers to mixing it with Biggie (Christopher Wallace). He said Biggie's topics on top of an obelisk. Obelisks are sometimes used for the dead in Egypt.
It really is. Usually the stuff he drops as singles are just teasers..
DRILL MUSIC IN ZION 🔥🔥🔥
Sooooo now we got people who are trying to find other rappers to try to step up for Aubrey but said he was better right? now Aubrey is a singer he was never a rapper so basically Mask on ! Mask off ! Yeah No! I like Lupe but I'm standing ten toes down with Kendrick some people are just gifted ijs
I'm not a Lupe fan or hater but, DAMN! BARS!!
Lupe is on another level
Lupe is a demon wit the bars
Lupe could never put together Ken & friends and have the culture like kung fu
"have the culture like kung fu"
It is hilarious you said that...because guess what one of the things Lupe did before Kendrick is? You are not going to believe it. No, not just skateboarding...but also what?
@@ImInYourBrainsLupe never skateboarded he just like Pharrell but none of these rappers made us like kungfu…and lupe doesn’t have enough of a voice to unite gang culture
Kendrick management got deep street ties , how you think all that happened
"Have the culture like Kung fu"...?
Who's out here actually practicing kung fu because of Kendrick? Most of these people just like the nickname lol
He got the west coast culture
THIS SONG AND SAMARAI have been on repeat past week !!! just beautiful.
probably my favorite song from him this year he killed that . the hook on Cake is catchier tho
@@chrisboricua1911 Samarai is so smooth, crazy replay value. its like time travel
Dont sleep on mumble rap
@@DjRibit hahah
Thank you...I feel you have the best reaction on YT so far...and you actually had the mind to pull up the lyrics as you listened....every one else had a meltdown pretty much... take care.
"I smell some bullshit" Bruh getting high off his own supply
One of the essential elements in hip hop is the braggadocious verses so to say get high on your own supply suggests you must be a novice when it comes to hip hop culture
Chi-town we here for it!
Crazy part is we got guy like Lupe and Von all in the same school lol. Love my city
Lupe Fiasco and King Von went to the same high school? (Obviously at different times). The difference in paths they chose is nuts.
😮
@@codelz187 not sure if they went to the same school. But the public school system has two kids like that in every school. It’s a funny dynamic
Lupe wants it with Kendrick 💯 that would be absolutely crazy 👀 🔥
he be calling kendrick for so long
thats the only thing i hate about lupe. he wants beef with people he dont have any beef with. He would smoke kendrick tho
Everyone knows Eminem is the real boogie man. Thats why lupe is on the cadences. Dot is small fish all time. Didnt even go diamond until drake diss. Cant ve goat with no impact
Lupe vs Kendrick would be dope to see. I predict their back & forth will feel more like MC Shan vs KRS.
@@SchizoSkillz It could get sticky for Kendrick.. Lupe ain’t drake 🤔
Lupe has been 🔥 Amazing cadence with substance.
Lupe started to live up to his last name when he drop the ball and sided with a industry plant over a real lyricist in group conversation with other battle rappers 🤦🏾♂️💯
Hey you glazers how he gonna backpedal on something he stood for at the start of his career. This man must hate it when he teaches Kendrick to the class 😂😭💀🤷🏾♂️
Thank you sir. Thank you for your service.
Bra low key I watch you all the time and respect that your taking the time to research the words cause Im learning with you lol Keep it up fellow human!
This is one guy that Kendrick can’t out rap
say what ?
FACTSSS and Kenny knows that
I feel like there’s a certain level of lyricism where if you’re at no one is better, you can be as good but not better and they both right there.
Facts
Let's get a versuz then
Lupe went OFF! Even though the hook was god awful, and the beat was audio nyquil. I see some people in the comments blaming bad marketing for why he never really blew up. And thats so BS. The man is a God tier lyricists while every other aspect of his music is slightly worse than mediocre. This song is a perfect example of that.
Food and Liquor 2, Tetsuo and Youth, Drogas Wave, and Drill Music in Zion are all dope AF.
Casual take. Hes literally a platinum artist with a culturally agreed mainstream classic? Never blew? Lmao
@treaisland I agree with some of those being dope. Drill Music in Zion was one of my favorite albums of 2022 which is saying a lot considering how many great albums were released that year. However, those other albums you named, as great as they were(except for Drogas wave and especially light. Just not for me), they haven't really aged the best.
@jaykasai you're right. & He was working with Jay Z, kanye, Pharrell, etc. I stand corrected. But he hit his peak with his 1st album and never got close to that level of stardom ever again. Sure he had problems with his label and he was getting fucked over but if the music was really that good, he would be way more relevant today. Not to mention the hard flops he has in his discography like Lasers
always good to see you react to the best ever
Lupe vs Kendrick would be the GOAT battle. Two of the best lyricists ever! Lupe is the GOAT lyricist but Kendrick is definitely on the same level lyrically I don’t care what Lu feels about kdot.
I honestly didn’t follow nor care that deeply about Kendrick and drakes back and forth. I’m tired af hearing not like us. But Kendrick vs Lupe is so perfect!
@@mato_fato_ma-ah-fala-falafel facts 💯 that’s the battle I’ve been wanting to see since SLR 2 & 3. I don’t think Lu bulletproof all it takes for an angle to stick to the audience and be looking like Drake.
for sure and lupe and kdot have lyrical bullets like that.
Naw, royce da 5'9 owned lupe. Lupe would cry that Kendrick bars are too violent 😂
Hahahah lupe a goat?? Bahahhaha
Lupe is another Rap God but I think the only "Achilles Heal" is his cadence. He raps most of the time in the same tone and never takes the "roller coaster" effect on what he's saying. He reminds me of the teacher from "Ferris Buller". For me, I want to FEEL what your saying and not just hear you or research what you said. This is what I think separates Lupe from Kendrick.
I WANT THIS BATTLE NEXT 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
He's cool but it ain't bumpn lolol
This was straight 🔥 had it on gym playlist repeat since it dropped. You the goat for reacting Stevie! 💪
We listening Lupe ,yeah this year is up for ALL🙏🏼.Let's hear the man out..Thankyou Stevie & fam for All the diversity your bringing🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Lupe is great at conscious rap But only that,That’s why you can never compare him to Kendrick
Because Kendrick can do what Lupe, Drake , and Cole does with ease
He can also take 5 years off and come back and fuck the rap game like a bitch
No diddy😂
I don’t see anyone who can take 5 years off and still be the best and if care is not taken he might end up being the best rapper dead or alive no disrespect towards the rest
wait...wait... Vonnegut..... Slaughterhouse... Royce da 5'9. That's another light jab o_O
Here me out...I dont actually think this is a sub at all. Most people dont remember or know that before the beef during the pandemic I think, people was talking slaughterhouse should get back together and Lupe, as a joke, offered to be the 5th member. I dont remember which member he said this too. They rejected him but it was clearly all jokes. I think this might be a reference to that. Slaughterhouse 5 = the 5th member of slaughterhouse = Lupe.
All I remember was Lupe's tweets were hilarious
@@ImInYourBrains that’s possible…. Yeah I remember. But the whole “vomiting up the Vonnegut” not a diss but it sounded like saying they or Royce were nothing. I’m adding extra but I wonder if there will be a mention from Royce in the future. Side note I don’t think Lupe could be in a group. It doesn’t really fit him.
@ohmyv3gatron it was jokes. Lupe posted memes about it
you should check out failure by lupe... probably the greatest display of wordplay of all time, you'd love it
Check SLR 3
What about Mural??
That Chocolate cake at the end though love love love this
Lupe is hands down above beyond Kendrick lyrically by miles.
He’s more knowledgeable and more in depth in social issues than KDot ever dreamed of
Respect to Lupe. Maybe he needed some motivation because hip hop has been sleeping and finally woke up in 2024
People ALWAYS sleep on Lupe, just like Ace Hood and Deante Hitchcock! They can, did, and will really hurt the haters, show and prove, and teach you why they're something truly special that doesn't fit inside of any box
Ace hood as in hustle hard? I like him but I never look at him as lyrical. Hes like jeezy.
@@mato_fato_ma-ah-fala-falafel that statement means you don't understand his growth, nor listen to his music. Ace is about life, love, knowledge, and more amazing now
These young kids don't care about lyricism they only want to shake their ass and listen to a song with a good beat. I hope all these real rappers get the shine they deserve. Lupe, Joyner, JID, Taylor, Baby Keem, and the ones who really have a love for Hip Hop. It's time for a change in music, so many talented artists . Why do we just focus on one.
Lupe the GOAT. this whole album was lightwork for him.
Ive always liked Lupe he's dope, but he definitely lied about Drake being better than Kendrick.
Lupe didn't tell any lies. Go back and actually listen to the conversation Lupe and Aye Verb were having because Kendrick fans two months didn't really disagree with him after they got the full context. And even after the beef, everything Lupe said holds up.
@@snowhawk04 Two months ago I didn't even know that comment existed. But I will say I was wrong to call him a liar. It's just his opinion however I believe it came from a place of bitterness for whatever reason. Kendrick ,J.Cole and Lupe are top lyricists not Drake. Lupe saying Drake is better than Kendrick to me is like saying he's better than him. Simply not true.
@@beautifullady4170 All you are saying is you haven't listened to what Lupe actually said and you also don't listen to much rap, even scoped to just the commercial rap scene. Lupe was right in that Live. Lupe is right on this track. Lupe really is your boogeyman.
@@snowhawk04 It's an opinion. But Lupe can hold his own. He writes for himself. A battle between him and Kendrick would be good. It wouldn't get dirty because Lupe isn't on that type of time. I don't doubt Lupe's abilities just Drakes. Drake's fans know he couldn't get the job done so they're looking for the next best thing. Lupe isn't u guys scapegoat 🤣
@@beautifullady4170 It's an UNINFORMED opinion. I don't need a Lupe glow job. I'd like you to go back and actually listen to what he said.
LOL @ "u guys". Bro, I'm not an Aubreysexual. But you're certainly a K-Thot. Kenny proved he isn't the lyricist you think he is. Plagiarized Pusha, battle rap, and twitter. Kenny needed a 20v1 to get the courage to go against the easiest mark in hip-hop and couldn't take him out in 1. But hey, if Kenny wants the smoke, he knows what to do.
Lupe in my top 5. I hate to see him left out on your channel. Hope to see more reactions or a Lupe week.
Lupe literally uses computers to compose his rymes....thats his own cpu losing memory. He turned into a chat gpt rapper. Im ashamed to say.....
you got it wrong; he was used to make AI better. computer use his style, not the other way around
Lupe I feel has always been an underrated MC. Definitely has a lot of lyrical talent. I would recommend listening to some of his earlier works as well. Such as Food & Liquor and The Cool for story-telling.
Lupe’s been reading like Damn N* a low-key genius
Yeah...LUPE goin NUTS!! SUPER DOPE!!
Check out his other single called "Samurai" that he released before this one. Lupe is that dude
Lupe is #1 on my hip hop playlist. Those who say he could make his ish commercial enough, I say he is alright with what he has done, no need to dumb down anything for commercial success.
Him, Kendrick, Cole are one of a few rap artist when they release i actually listen to the whole album over and over.
Mr Morale and the Big Steppers is the best rap album ever.
Lupe is a better lyricist than Eminem or Kendrick
Lupe reads the dictionary
Lupe has more proof of his barring skills than Kendrick. Kendricks music I like more
Now thats a reasonable take. Tired of these delusional fans
Samson - Cesspool. Definitely worth a listen
Lupe sabotaged his career when he spit in Obamas face, and he still hasn't recovered from it. But its undeniable that Lupe is one of the greatest, if not, thee greatest wordsmiths to ever pickup a pen.
Lupe is very underrated and I feel his team just didn’t push him right….He literally had bangers in his portfolio including my two favorite works (Bun B ft. Lupe ‘Swang On Em’ and Lupe’s ‘Daydreamin’ ft. Jill Scott….These will forever be classics to me 🤷🏽♀️
Watching This Guy TRY To Comprehend Lupe Fiasco's Lyrics Is Like Watching An Animal Figure Out How A Computer Works LMAO. The Look Of Confusion During Every Verse 🤣
Lupe is a beast but he is not The Boogie Man. Be Blessed.
Nah, he’s the one u send to kill the boogie man
Royce thought that too 🤷🏾♂️
@macmanjr100 Sheesh I remembered that he had Royce fall back quick. 😂
Yes he is
You wouldn’t know the Boogie if he was in your face. Respectfully
