God dam. First time ever hearing this and I'm absolutely blown away. So many dope individual lines. It's just one after another. 'I prefer my pictures in word form'.
The song is called MURAL for a reason. Go look up the definition of a mural and look at some bodies of work. This is Lupe's work of art in word form with multiple subjects, thoughts, philosophies, stories, feelings, etc. If it's gibberish sounding to you I feel sorry for you bc you are missing out.
Lupe's true last gift. He was the artist that I identified in an odd transition of hip-hop. Bar to Bar he proved how strong a lyricist he is. Thank You for being here. Righteous Kung-Fu..the whole love for anime and Japanese streetwear he opened my eyes...rocked goyard before it became a hip-hop symbol of status. Hell he got me to skateboard and actually dodged alot of close calls as a result
Always thought this song was good but as i worked out to it today, i realized it’s a masterpiece & no i don’t understand all of it.. This has to be analyzed like literature. (To those complaining that it’s all over the place because the lyrics are going over their heads)
Christian Gambarrotti over the place is impossible On the contrary Each detail seem supernatural Gambit throwing cards was put in the context he broke down the parts of a party Swimming pool Throwing darts Then after all this set up He put that line making all that party context rhyming cards darts etc
Bruh the alien in the lighthouse at the end of the movie "Annihilation" is a 3d Mandelbrot set. Which produces a picture that maintains its structural integrity no matter how far you zoom in. Lupe was like "Nerd gang, make Mandelbrot sets when we handshake" in Mural, which is the culmination of all the "separate" seasons in Tetsuo and Youth. Illuminati confirmed
Miles Ericksen expose the industry lupe!! Backup that wordplay up with facts. Supply and demand is no longer relevant to being a good artist. Underground is where its at. Be yourself and face the music. Make your own agenda drop whatever music you like. Your peers will judge you but wont judge themselves. They on the hunt kinda salty that you goin hard.
"My rap position was black condition and activism. Ammunition for abolition, mission attacking systems. But they're not opt listen unless it's dropping on Acitivions." God damn. Just. 😮
Bar Exam 4 brought me here.... and i’m so glad it did... this is upside down earth 🌏 level bars... cant believe i’m just hearing this song for the first time 🔥
So many entendres and wordplay holy shit this is amazing. I have to listen to this song a couple more times and Dissect every bar he just said. Wow, ncredible.
I really can’t believe this is the first time I ever heard this. I followed the lyrics, but I’m going to have to listen to it several more times to really digest what he’s saying. Lupe had always been one of the best lyricist I’ve ever heard, but this is by far his best.
This song changed my life in how I veiw lyricism. No one has yet to attain this level or barstrocity! No one! Even Nas hasn't unlocked this Pandora's box. Comments speak more truth than ever here. If you understand half of this song your among the 1% of artistic attribute. The bar has yet to have been raised from this point. "God"himself couldn't have dropped a better song
I come back to this song every few months and dedicate 20 minutes to it. Just to remind myself there was artists at one point who got its. Lupe got it. GOAT lyricist
Yes bro Lupe is a word wizard that is not of this planet and as much as I get ostracized for saying lupe is the greatest emcee to ever bless the mic, I'll gladly die on that hill because it's the truth. Dudes really be like "HeS NoT BeTteR ThAn EmINeM" Like Stfu
I can tell.. not saying that it’s not good.. but I write and been doing this for a whiiiiillllleee.. I can tell real quick…… punching verses in is kind of a lil cheat but still good if u free’in
You don’t just happen to come up with double entendre with visual metaphors that work for both or words used 5 different ways like you do in this song. That type of brilliance takes hours of dedication. I think the depth of this song went over your head if you think it could ever be off the cuff
According to Lupe fiasco himself he has yet to release his magnum opus. He claims his next album will be his greatest, and I see no reason to doubt him
YhwachPoetry I think Skulls is his next and probably last album. Also, as for actual discography, I think he mentioned Drogas Wave being his best work?!
mike kenneth if you like crazy lyricism with a message, you should check out this conscious rapper named X [prezzz]. his youtube channel name is Xprezzzhatred
I have been listening to hiphop for more than 25 years. And not any hiphop (Immortal Technique, Canibus, Tupac, dead Prez, Gangstarr). Basically I only listen to heavyweight lyricists but this song is just too much to handle. Almost impossible to create something like this. U can’t compare anything to this.
Lupe being underrated isn’t even the word, smfh. This song alone is better than some artist’s whole catalog, even a few lines in you can tell how masterful Lupe is with his rhymes, it’s a damn shame that Lupe would have inferior views compared to some new “rapper” straight out of high school who dyed his hair an unusual color who just started making music the previous month after he saved up for a microphone and a couple of Instagram models to be in the music video.
Yanuar Fahmi Lmao! Took me a few listens and a lot of Googling so I feel you man. If you really wanna question your intelligence listen to Black Thought's Flex freestyle. Shit is *immaculate*
Is it me or is Cortex one of the most underated sampled artist hip hop artist use? Hence MF DOOM...Tyler the Creator... Jeezy... Wiz Khalifa... And Lupe... Rare classic 👌
Rubey J G It won't matter. Lol. People are super divisive about everything these days. But I agree this song is a good one to show off Lupe's lyricism. I've been saying that for years.
Kendrick sacrifices articulate lyricism for great music that connects...Two completely different artists/rappers with strengths in different areas. No need to compare.
3 года назад
The majority will never agree will say K dot raps better but K dot is the better artist
Lupe is nice. But to condescend another artists based of one jam is silly. Lupe pushed a gimmic too hard. Kenny comes off more authentic. Not to mention good kid was an instant classic. Lupe is known for kick push. Even if you want to talk underground or earlier work....Kendrick still got him. Doesn’t take away from Lupe. Just pointing out the toxicity in your comment. You should be grateful a mind like kendricks is accepted in main stream. Stay up.

Swimming pool
Throwing darts
Then after all this set up
He put that line making all that party context rhyming cards darts etc
