EagleZtoTheGrave I remembered he dropped this on sound cloud randomly 2 years back (around the same time of the #DROGAS unofficial mixtape). I was blown away
Pure, unadulterated genius here. Lupes approach to lyrics is on point! He may not put out a club banger, but he will drop a knowledge bomb that'll leave a mushroom cloud on your dome. Lol
I listened to alot of rappers, but I've always had my standouts that I favored. Im 35 now so it started with Kris Kross and Michael Jackson when I was like 6 or 7. From there it was Bone in mid 90's, then Eminem, Fabolous and Brotha Lynch late 90's into 2000's and local artist here in Kansas City high school years. Then Wayne around 03, then like 07-08 it was Lupe and King Los. All this while never neglecting my previous favorites.I always bumped the hell out of a wide variety too tho from UGK, Jay Z, Wu-Tang, Pac, Twista, Crucial Conflict, Outkast, Eightball and MJG, Nas, Busta, Snoop, Facemob, No Limit etc... Now at 35 I enjoy all the music I grew up on and some of the new artist is good. But now I go back to my parents music alot, 60's and 70's soul music, Disco and Soft Rock. I love good music, if its good its good idc who it is.
Everyone : " my top 5 is ....... " Me : " where's Lupe? " Everyone : " lol the nerd who skates " ? Me : ( shows them this and mural ) Next day Everyone : " Wanna go skating " ? Me : " After you .... Drogas " !
What's funny is Lupe dropped this originally on August 12, 2013 which was 1 day before The Control Verse lol... If Lupe would have waited and used this as a response to Kendrick Verse he woulda probably ended his career. This track destroys all the other responses lol...to bad it went under the radar 😔
@@OracleEND I mean not everyone has time to analyze octuple entendres and pick apart the fifth hidden meaning that's woven into the structure of the song that makes each line each a different new undiscovered literary device, while the rhyming words form an acrostic if listened to backwards gives you Kendrick's entire control verse but in spanish... I mean good rapping is cool too. I'll take Kendrick personally
@@cbchansey6866 And I have nothing but respect for your opinion. Not about to bitch like the rest of these females over opinions now a day's lol. You got it dawg.
I first heard Lupe in 06 and I always thought his delivery was clean and that his lyrics had some real insight. I haven't heard anything by him in years being that I listen to so much music. This is actually the first time I've heard this track and I got to say. He killed it on this one.
He is the only artist I had to go to rap genius for! This has earned my respect him and his lyrics, not to say Kendrick, but GodDam Lupe!!! THIs is WHY he is my favorite MC!
Lupe one of Goats in the Hip Hop Farm - Definitely Top Ten of all time- Badlands Loves Lupe - Bumped in TO DOOM the greatest Rappers Colide- This Track is Legendary Guys----Peace

“Feet like why you running behind these ninjas they still trying to step inside ya prints, bear trap rap don’t step inside the clinch, where dat at jeopardize a better stride for limps” 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Everytime Lupe says "peace of paper cup of jayzus blah blah blah..." I think he sets up a general theme topic or reference point that he uses for the next few bars. At least thats what I heard. This track is a monster. Yet he still topped it with Mural lol
Lets go...Real Hip Hop ova here! Go get ya guy that's on the radio right now...go get 5 of them and holla at me. I'll bring Lupe and watch them all sit on the sidelines wondering who gone go next! LUPE!!!!!
he's spitting about his dream of becoming a rapper, had his dreams set, and all he wanted to do was rhyme but then he had to become a Mason learned secrets and became a little iffy cause he step into the game just to spit. if you heard Lupe first mixtapes it was about everything these rappers talked about but he realized it's not what he wanted. he switched up his style to be different from the world but ppl still misinterpret what's he was saying. he got tired of the game and ppl worrying about who the best. He saying he already knows he's better than all the rappers out there including Drake. I mean I'll write an essay by the time I finish breaking down this song lol but this was awesome indeed.
yes he was, until he wanted to get out the game and his pov changed. especially after Obama invited him to the white house for a performance. now ppl are starting to see what he's talking about.
+Terrius “Tlynch” Miller check out timesnuroman's channel, he's got some incredible lyrical break down videos on about 18 lupe songs. If it wasn't for missing "menstrual" on his Dumb it Down breakdown, I'd think it was lupe himself. I have no clue how he catches all the entendres and metaphors
PEOPLE WHO CALL A SONG WEAK: THEY DON'T LIKE THE INSTRUMENTAL AND THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE SONG. SO OF COURSE THE SONG WILL ALWAYS BE "WEAK". LUPE ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX RAPPER THAT WILL ALWAYS GO OVER PEOPLE HEAD SO HE ALWAYS BE WEAK TO THE NO BRAINS EYE. HE SAID WILL NEVER DUMB IT DOWN

This song and Mural.. foh if you dont respect this man!!
This and Mural. That is all
And failure & SLR
Questionssm indeed his entire discography. Lasers was poppy but still had the basic Lupe lyricism even if it was watered down.
JM C Atomic Misphilosophy is pretty good too. A lot his real old school shit when hes young is insane as well. coulda been is a good one.
JM C I didn't even know this existed, how the hell this slip under the radar? lol
EagleZtoTheGrave I remembered he dropped this on sound cloud randomly 2 years back (around the same time of the #DROGAS unofficial mixtape). I was blown away
This proves why he's a top 5 lyricist of all time
This is Hip Hop from 1st and 15th to Q4 Respect

Bro nobody gives him the credit he deserves. Everybody dickriders Eminem, but this man is on a whole different level

There's a reason KDot didn't mention Lupe. Those of us that study lyrics know why. Dot met his match.
I'm just, speechless, how is this guy so talented with wordplay, rofl
6 minutes of clearly explaining that this the ghostwriter of all these popular rappers best songs.
Whats a closed wallet to an open safe!!
Knocking off Bigs and stealing Shines......GODDAMN LUPE!
Phone rang it was Ghost said "Kiss the greatest rapper... Goodbye!" Lupe! What are you doing to 'um!!! Take it easy!

Damn! Purely the best!
The first bar is so overheads , can’t imagine thinking I caught everything with one listen lol
my god this track is slept on he bodied this
he's spitting about his dream of becoming a rapper, had his dreams set, and all he wanted to do was rhyme but then he had to become a Mason learned secrets and became a little iffy cause he step into the game just to spit. if you heard Lupe first mixtapes it was about everything these rappers talked about but he realized it's not what he wanted. he switched up his style to be different from the world but ppl still misinterpret what's he was saying. he got tired of the game and ppl worrying about who the best.

Lupe a mason? na
yes he is a Mason. whether he got in blindly or knew what he was getting into yes he is.
I dont think so cuz he isnt as nearly as famous as half these trash rappers
yes he was, until he wanted to get out the game and his pov changed. especially after Obama invited him to the white house for a performance. now ppl are starting to see what he's talking about.
yo, nice points bro
i was at 2:00 and realized he still had 4 minutes to go.... >_<
BEAST
Don’t let you inner fear result in your outer coward… he a beast
Niceeeee. Dope freestyle. He always rhyming off the top
Top 3, no particular order:

I don't know whats better (or more lyrical) this or mural

youjust gotgronked ok
Mural honestly wasn't too hard to figure out for me. I still don't fully understand all of the bars on this song.
How does one even respond to a song like this?
There are a FEW crazy bars in here.
And by a few I mean kind of a lot.
Lupe a monster, smh
Every 1 died az suvive
Rapper az is the goat
his metaphors are so complex ...man this guy is ridiculous lol
why do I get the feeling he is taking about ghostwriting for some of the greats or the goats having writers... deep 💩
sheesh! i return every week and im chris! lol posted this on facebook a very long time ago!
