The album is also apparently a story of what if Amy Winehouse was a battle rapper named samurai.
That's the craziest concept I've ever heard. You know maybe what inspired him to do it?
You should look up the video of the voicemail she left Nas' producer Salaam Remi. @dominikbrekalo5689
@@dominikbrekalo5689Just look up "Amy Winehouse is a samurai."
@@dominikbrekalo5689yeah its a documentary, look up the vid that the other guy said
i heard amy winehouse write raps and she like it.Idk@@dominikbrekalo5689
This is giving me that Old “Kick Push” vibe. That early 2010’s Lo-Fi, skateboard feel
Yep. My boy got me into him in his back then. That and odd future.
In the Amy Winehouse voicemail she referred to herself as a Samurai while she was also mentioning Wu-Tang, hence the influence and inspiration of the title and song
This song takes me back to simpler times. Breathe of fresh air.
Not gonna lie this might already crack my top 5 songs of the year. Such a vibe, love the chorus, love the pockets. I’m so ready for the album
Follow up:
Yeah this is easily top 5 album of the year for me. I got it like this so far:
1: Why Lawd? - NxWorries
2: HERBERT - Ab Soul
3: Dark Times - Vince Staples
4: SCRAPYARD - Quadeca
5: Samurai - Lupe Fiasco, tied rn with Royal Blu - Blu & Roy Royal
The hook is so catchy "little battle raps for Yooouuuu"
Mad catchy lol my catchy-bility ranking for a song is, "does it pop up when I'm doin the dishes".
Dishes hella clean with this one lol
“So come on through” is such a common thing to say too he’s a master of rap. Fuck what the sales and streams say
Lupe a rare breed
Over the years, my journey through Lupe's music has been akin to discovering a sanctuary amidst the tumult of the rap landscape. In a genre often overshadowed by negativity, his artistry emerges as a beacon of balance, offering a safe haven from the conventional. With eloquence and grace, Lupe invites us to explore the vibrant and uplifting facets of hip-hop, unveiling its intrinsic beauty and serving as a source of profound motivation.
You did it. Thank you Wasalu 👏👏
This comment attached to that profile pic is quite the dynamic lmfao (idk what the name of that meme is)
@@jakemorrow6742 LMFAO...I feel you, fam; it was supposed to be a troll account. However, I found myself dropping more positive/reflective comments.
The meme is called "White kid holding his breath." Btw.
Thanks for the Apple Music bio 😂😂
Bro switched on the GPT
@@javinlazarus9032 😂
Nujabes vibes are real. Please god, put Lupe and Mos Def on a track together
They already done work together, they were featured on the song-dont look down by Kanye west..... personally I'd rather a Lupe and Nas track.
Amen 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Rip NU 😭
It's crazy there are a handful of Goats still rapping now, the usual 3, then theres Em, Black Thought and a few others....but when it comes to straight technical proficiency with the Metaphors, doubles&triples and the way he paints his analogies? Lupe is simply in a class of his own.
If the whole album is like this it's a certified hood classic. Giving off that 2009 type of vibe. Hip hop needs more of that.
The way I used to feel about Lupe was how I felt about Kendrick now.
I can vibe with Kendrick's music better as I wouldn't say it's dumbed down but it's a easier flow for me to get into. Lupe takes a few listens, a book and an encyclopedia usually but he's god-level lyricism
I know it’s not gonna happen anytime soon, but I really hope they eventually have a rap battle
@@yuhmuhfuhkuh We first need a song together lol just a collab it must happen it gotta happen
@@Sway_Boogie need a Lu x Kdot collab now 🔥
Kendrick is definitely more accessible
Lupe is a geat lyricist , but his issue is you cant rap along or sing along to his tracks there are more of a study than entertaining
When I used to pirate music back in the day with Kazaa and LimeWire etc. I remember I pirated Lupe Fiasco's "Food & Liquor."
After I listened to that album a few times, I enjoyed it so much that I felt guilty about pirating it and ended up going to Target to buy a physical copy to support the guy.
It was/is one of my favorite hip hop albums of all times.
So stoked, Lupe is still making art and can't wait for this new album!
This track is exactly what I hoped it would be. And the hook is unbelievably catchy. Also the album art is too fire. I’m hyped for this. This is the Lupe i absolutely love. I recently watched his MIT video and the way he thinks about this art form is so deep and methodical, it was so interesting just hearing him talk about. Every little detail in his songs is intended.
New album about to be crazyyyyy !!!
Yes sir! Lupe bar'd up on this one and it sounds good sonically as well. 2/2
Definitely getting The Cool and F&L vibes.
Lupes the goat bro. Love ANY reactions he get.
The sample from Grover Washington Jr. East River Drive is a classic jazz sound with his vocals over a young RZA sound.
Lupe is tied for GOAT status with Kdot personally. I never get sick of Lupe, his songs are so layered and deep that they always feel fresh, and these vintage Lupe vibes are unbeatable. Lupe is rap equivalent of comfort food brought to a micheline star level.
As hiphop fan I agree!!
drill music in zion was easier to digest because none of it was written it was entirely off the top 😂
Look bro, lupe is the best rapper of all time PERIOD.
Thatbe8ng said it's not off the top straight into the mic, it was obviously written
@@sizzle725 it was part of a challenge Lupe wanted to do a whole album off the top in 24 hours. He live streamed part of it. But he ended up taking 72 hours instead. He didnt spit it all at once obviously but he was coming up with bars and punching in as he went
This is top 5 song this year ngl such a vibe and can’t wait for the album.
Been playing this track heavy! Cant wait for the album!
Fire reaction! rapsody album review??
Glad someone added this because her album was actually pretty dope. She's a great artist. Really solid rapper for sure doesn't get the credit she deserves
Lupe is really the best rapper at the end of the day
The best rapper to ever do it is back! Lupe the GOAT!
that Drake Kendrick beef was fire but happy to see yall getting back to music on the regular, keep the dope reviews coming!
We’re getting spoiled this year
Lupe is the best ever!
Very nujabes / samouraï champloo instrumental
Lupe always been one of my top rappers. 💯 This shyt 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
New Lupe is always a blessing.
You guys put me onto Lupe big time and every time he drops I wait for y'all's reaction. Shoutout to my guys!!
this song sounds like something that couldve been in the samurai champloo ost
Lupe Fiasco is so underrated
Very Happy to see a Lupe Fiasco track pop up.
Drill music in Zion is a classic already for me, hope he brings something similar to us this year.
Almost 4 minutes per track. That's called quality over quantity. This is album of the year. Album of his career. Straight up culmination of 2 decades of exploration and refining. Lupe one of the GOATs.
Lupe will always be my personal GOAT his mind is on another level. It’s fitting he’s a professor at MIT now
This song is amazing, love the vibe and can't wait for the album.
Hoping it's more of this right here.
Nah literally in the whip 80 degrees windows down
Def summertime
New Lupe A BANGER!!! SUPER LYRICS!!!
This song is so nostalgic it brings me back to simpler times as a young man vibing with the homies
People must've forgot about Lupe!
Lupe likes to take real-life tragedies and take them in a different direction. Give them a better ending or at least a more hopeful one. Lupe calls them "ressurectives". Samurai is about Amy Winehouse. She had some demons in the form of drug addiction and depression which lead to her death. Lupe is reimagining her ending and having her instead live out her dream of being a battle rap samurai.
Lupe describes and raps about her the first verse. Talks about how she is in front of the opera house, singing/rapping something thats fits todays climate, something about gang violence meeting the gangsters demises. The stuff that raises the eyelids of the blind (wakes them up). Second verse, he sets the scene. How those wearing bow ties and suits that are entering the opera house are laughing and looking down on the lower class "blowers of the notes". They look down on her and her band as they enter a place that one day she hopes to perform inside. The final verse is mostly from her perspective. Talking about how she, as a wandering poor artist, was offered to stay at the apartment of a friend for a week. It was like her raft found a beach; a temporary reprieve from the usual lonely wandering. She took a drag from her smoke, read a book, drank a tea, took a bath and went to sleep.
What I am guessing is that this is the beginning of a journey. We see her now at the beginning. A struggling artist. A street performer. And hopefully we get to see her grow into a legendary battle rap samurai in this new life story Lupe is telling.
The inspiration for the new life he is giving her is what she said about her own dreams to her producer in a recorded call. That is what the hook is quoting. Thats all imma give you. Rest is up to you.
Thank You!! Beautiful interpretation 🌟
@@ljjohnson489 If you want to hear more about his "ressurectives": ruclips.net/user/liveN5Ud3tK6Tjs?feature=shared&t=1389
@@ImInYourBrains you’re the best!! Thank you!! 😬
@@ImInYourBrains I was able to watch the clip/remainder of that video and what a thoughtful way to commemorate such impactful artists! I’m so used to musicians/lyrical artists writing about emotions and wealth and life itself and for him to take the time to ‘paint portraits’ and resurrect people through his gift of word… just wow. I’m really grateful for you sharing that clip with me, I definitely feel edified with that information in mind! 🙏🏾💛
@@ljjohnson489 yeah, it really amazes me how powerful and unbounded art really is. It could be a celebration, a beautiful story, a strong warning, a source of knowledge, a commemoration, or a mix of many of these things and more. When artists have the freedom to create it that is.
this man rhymed "vanguard" with "and staff" ‼
This song is such a vibe. So glad he's back!
song been on repeat for days now
That instrumental is CRAZY along with Lupe’s greatness
"what did he say ??" someone hearing it for the first time
sooooo good! loved your guys review!
Damn! Lupe is a genius….DROGAS WAVE is still one of his best work
Always love y'all reactions. But anything Lupe and reaction I am always here for. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Love this! Would love to see yall react to Rapsody's new album or even just her new song "Back in My Bag"
Apparently this song was an ode to Amy Winehouse. It was well done and to me, it gives the vibe of "Kick push and Tokyo Paris."
It's my new favorite track out right now!
Looking like another classic from Lupe
Rare to see yall stumped lol. Lupe is that guy.
its a song about the struggling artist and the contrast between the higher ups enjoying entertainment and the artist struggling to be the entertainment.
The vibe is right.
The sax 🎷 tho ❤
Glad Lupe is still with us.
Nice vibes. Bout to get some good music this summer.
This is a classic song right here
This is so beautiful that expressing how it makes me feel brings tears to my eyes.
Desert Island reactors and bar breakdowns gotta be VibeVilla
I miss you guys in your car outside of work!! We all know the best jamzz are always listened to in our whips!! Love always xoxo
Lupe and daylyt would be such magic
Vibe villa its a sick name. Im subbing just because of that
Man Lu make it look so easy...at this point Lupe is the personification of rap
I hope this whole album got this vibe. I need that Food n Liquor flow. Some interview said the album is about street performing/battle rap world and how its akin to samurai life. I can dig it.
Give Lupe his 🌹!! #Underrated
This makes me feel like these days we don't have enough music like this, positive vibes. I wanna smile while listening to it. Reminded me of good ol' days Logic
I haven’t listened to Lupe since the I’m beaming remix with Asher Roth, B.O.B and all of the other artists who I can’t remember. Excited for the new album 💪🏾
Lu! 🔥🔥
love this song sm
The vibe is great flying on a plane window seat style
Lu the 🐐
The whole song was about Amy, hook and both verses. And the Album would be too.
We needed the best in this genres to break down these alein lyrics.
I heard “sublime” too. 😂 thanks for the clear up
Samurai is classic 💿
Im a new sub. Loved this.
Damn this is mellow and refreshin. Instrumentals leaning on old japanese hiphop vibes, Lupe crushing it with this one.
This right here is why everybody respect Lupe
I’m loving this song. Ironically it dropped in the midst of the Yasuke controversy but it made me like it more
He is Back…it takes me to Kick, Push, The Cool…its great!
Lupe is so dope man
It sounds like summer nights man not summer days, summer nights without the gallow ties 😮💨
We need to manifest a Chicago Lupe+Mick collab album 🔥
Rappers on the WS of CHI is a different breed of artist in the booth than ss drill rap besides common, Lupe in my book is an underrated CHI legend.
New lupe....thank you...good luck lol...its based on a voice mail from amy winehouse sent to producer salam remy, when she was drunk/fucked up saying she she should be writting songs but been writing battle rap bars, and she describes herself as a samurai in the voice mail 😂😂 its on youtube somewhere if u wanna find it, he been teasing this for a few years
WE NEED MORE LUPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
damn this sounds so good
That breakdown of lupe's stylings before the react even starts was 🔥. Much respect for that breakdown
The word play is out of this world!!!
REACT TO “cake” by Lupe fiasco… just dropped!!
Finally some fresh air between those disses, flexing, "bangers".
BTW, Lu is God Tier, reactors are scared to react to him due to the depth and criptic lyrics, appreciate yall for keeping it hiphop
Lupe fiasco has that lyrical creativity in his music with that blues type vibe, this man been underrated for way to long.
Samurai Shamploo vibs if y'all ever watched that show, a comment mentioned that in the music video and it's an accurate comparison. Dope reaction!!!
The whole song is about Amy Winehouse. The 2nd verse in particular is all about her if you look at it from the context of her being the woman she's talking about. The vibe is unmatched. Such a good song. Love all Lupe shit, but I missed this
He’s a legend too y’all don’t forget that!!!
