A Man Made Masterpiece?: Professor Skye reviews "House" by Lupe Fiasco and Kaelin Ellis
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- A review that is twice as long as the album its reviewing...but that is just because the EP is so dense that it needs this level of analysis. It is art at the highest level that certainly doesn't need my approval, but gets it all the same.
Plus...I have beef with a RUclipsr! I'm a real RUclips person now!
Skye's Stamp: (best song) LF95 - • Lupe Fiasco - LF95 [Ho...
If you gonna do Lupe, I'll be here for that. I promise, I promise, I promise...
"Need a PhD to understand this"
There is a line among us Lupe fans that goes like this: "Go to Harvard to be a Lupe stan"
Welcome nigga, LUPE LAND!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Now ol boy needs to come out with a Lupe Brand....
SLR 2!
Awesome review! Lupe is seriously overlooked. You should definitely check out his previous albums "Drogas Waves" and "Tetsuo & Youth".
I love that you know for certain that you don't know exactly what he's saying... But here's what I understand
Thanks for the kind words.
@@professorskye you seem like the type of person who would LOVE his song Mural based on how well you break down the the "man made" versus nature and their cyclical nature
@@professorskyewere you aware the last song is a freestyle? That’s what the internet is telling me anyway. Love your videos and all the effort you put in
“It’s harder to be a Lupe fan, go to Harvard to be a Lupe Stan”
One of the best lines
word.. same thing I think of, every time a new person discovers Lupe
slr ruthless
Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, Tetsuo and Youth and Drogas Wave are all great art by Lupe Fiasco. Any true Lupe fan will tell you the same. By the way, love your breakdown of this fine art piece. ✌🏻
don't forget the Fahrenheit 1/15 series!
You could probably make a 30 minute video on mural alone. The funny thing about House is that for Lupe, this a throwaway when it comes to how deep he can go.
SHOES - He is referencing the killing of Ahmaud Arbery - in the song He imagines himself as Ahmaud Arbery buying shoes, the same shoes he would later be killed in. Naturally, because it's Lupe it always goes wider and deeper than that.
:)
Maybe only time a smiley emoji actually made me happy. Thanks for watching and thanks for the great music!
Smooth beats Kaelin. Great job by everyone.
Man if you placed that wholesome brain of yours on to hear Lupe Fiasco's album, "Tetso n Youth" you would be mind blown. And i would be all the way for that right there!
Great review btw i think the House EP is so underrated.
Damn i did watch 47 min of art, i guess you would love Lupe's albums, everything Lupe does is pure art, always multi dimensions, he paint the picture and leave it up to you to explain it. Over shoes song, you missed the 3rd dimension, the value of the sneaker may play later in his life to save him while he is running for his life. 4th explanation will be like He did paint a picture of walking in black man's shoe. I bet in future we will have more stories :) If you listen to wav files by Lupe or even Drogas wave album, he paints the history of african slavery man he will blow you away. Looking forward for your review then though, even it will take few hours lol
Thanks, it seems like I have some homework!
@@professorskye you have no idea lol
Professor Skye's Record Review I hope your ready
The ending of your video really made me reevaluate who I follow. I agree with that whole "rant". Especially being a musician its weird how people almost want you to crap on other artists to improve your own elite status, like any of that even matters.
Glad that the rant spoke to you. It is one of the guiding principles of the channel.
about dinosaurs: “with tales/tails particularly good for sliding(slang for lookin for opps), but in real life it prolly didn’t go down like that(no one actually slide down dinosaur tails AND rappers be lying, rwarrrr (rappers trying to to sound tough) they prolly didn’t sound like that..imo
Whoa, that is cool.
Lupe is so great. I think he deserves to be Top 20 best MCs of all time with Food & Liquor, The Cool, and Tetsuo & Youth.
TOP 5
You're lucky you get to experience Lupe's work for the first time ever! From his early mixtapes to HOUSE it is all a work of art.
He's also referring to being a dinosaur in the hip hop game and is speaking to fellow mc's.
I see several scenes. One an old man Lupe on a rocking chair talking to kid about dinosaurs cutting through other scenes of current Lupe walking through a museum of rap talking to you 😉
What makes lupe great is his duality and contradictions. Check out tetsuo and youth, drogas wave, food and liquor and the cool. His mixtapes are great too. His early tapes had a super street approach which was authentic to him but his nerdy side later on is just as authentic.
I agree with most of what you wrote, but when was Lupe ever super street? His fist major single was about skateboarding lol
@@TheKh65 singles are meant to be conveyed by the many while still holding true to the entire albums theme. It will comprise some of the rawness the rest of the albums can provide.
@@Thecor13i get what you are saying but the reason why I brought up that particular single is because the first commenter said Lupe had super street material
@@TheKh65 yea it was definitely out of context but they may have been talking about the album rather than the single
@@TheKh65 damn. You don't know? Lupe has been signed since highschool. His earlier works were very street savy. Before the skateboard.
You have to listen to his entire discography. He’s been rapping like this since his early 20s maybe teens. How the industry is set up he may never get the flowers he very much deserves.
"It's like he's speaking to a child." Dinosaurs is based on Lupe's experience of taking his godson to the Natural History Museum and explaining them to him. It's dope you were able to figure that out w/o context.
And yea, you will definitely have a lot fun dissecting his albums and mixtapes. Lupe is incredibly smart and talented. I'm still finding all types of information from his work till day and I have been a Lupe stan for years.
I’m here cause I loved your RTJ4 Review. You should do Tetsuo & Youth by Lupe Fiasco, Lupe is top 5 for me.
Dinosaurs is a metaphor about older rappers in music, but also he made it for his nephew and godson
Cliché. It makes it lose depth
When you realized that Lupe rapped LF95 off the top without writing... 🤯🤯🤯
Watched Anthony Fantano take half a casual listen to this project and say it was trash. He didn't even spend two minutes on it. What a joke. This is how the material should be approached, with nuance and depth.
Did he do it in a live stream? I was waiting to see what he thought
@@madeyeatreides4055 He did it in a live stream. In his Drogas Wave review, which was positive, he didn't even understand what happened to the Longchains when they drowned
I hate his reviews, he doesn't even try to understand anything. If it's not simple enough for him he just trashes it.
Another great review. Just wanted to add to the other comments here that you should consider reviewing other Lupe projects such as The Cool, Tetsuo & Youth, and Drogas Wave as all of these are very strong conceptually. I haven't seen many other rappers that have as much depth to their lyrics as Lupe Fiasco does, I believe you would have much to talk about if you did these reviews.
As a Lupe fan I find this really interesting, discovering Lupe’s music and attempting to wrap your head around it, it’s by no means an easy feat. I really enjoyed this review I kept laughing whenever he said I don’t know if he’s being ironic or deep. Because I recognize myself when I was finding out and learning about lu’s personality
Wow. Nice review Skye. One of your best. You touched on a lot of sociocultural, artistic streams, all flowing into a big lake.I didn't grow up with Rap and Hip Hop, but I'm educating myself about it and find it some of the most creative and original sounds in the last couple of decades or more. Lots of good stuff there to pinch. As Picasso said , I think, " Good artists don't borrow ideas, they steal". Oh, and what's so funny about peace, love, understanding and NPR ?
You should definitely check out his older albums if you enjoyed this one. Great review!!!
and his latest one. He should check out Drogas Wave, T&Y, F&L, The Cool, F&L 2, and so on.
ErrrrdayImShufflin' Drogas Wave & Tetsuo & Youth for sure
Lupe loves metaphors so much that he weaves them across different songs.
albums
Great review professor. The cool thing is he made this ep in about 10-12 days. I look forward to more lupe reviews from you!
Please for the love of God dig in to everything Lupe has ever done and review it. I would join the Patreon for this alone!
30:26 really touching moment exemplified by the fact that Lupe and Virgil were very close friends since they were teenagers, and Virgil passed away a year after this EP came out. Crazy. RIP to both your friend and RIP Virgil.
Lupe fiasco is my favorite artist and rapper. I just discovered your channel when someone recommended your reaction to his new album DMIZ. I hope we get to see more breakdowns of his music, I know you’ll love it!
Lupe's discography will really blow your mind. Please start with Food & Liquor and you likely won't stop until you listen to everything he's made. a true genius in every sense. and one of (if not) the best lyrical masters to ever pick up a pen. great analysis, Professor 👏
The 4th narrative to Dinosaurs is he's actually speaking about himself in music and how the type of music he's making has become extinct.
Lupe also said he made the song Dinosaurs for his nephew. So when it sounds like he's talking to a kid, he is. Lupe is in a sense, breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the audience.
Thank you so much for doing this! Your passion for art and positivity is inspiring.
Looking forward to your thoughts on his new album that just came out!
He reacted perfectly when you randomly catch a new Lupe line. 😂
I absolutely stood frozen in my tracks on what was possibly my 158th listen of mural when he said 'look at all these toucans! In a cemetery full of tomahawk's'. Never really got it until it snapped that it's a call back to 'bury the (hatchet/hatch-it) like how a bird born'.
All these birds. You bury thing in a cemetery. Tomahawks are basically hatchets.
A cemetery of tomahawks would have a lot of birds.
thanks for another great review. the fact that I can watch 45 minutes on an artist i’ve never listened to really speaks for itself
I enjoyed this review, Professor Skye. Also, Killah Priest's Rocket To Nebula, is a project I can see you reviewing.
Dude, luck you to have just discovered Lupe and were not tormented by a decade of greatness. Endless hours examining lyrics on rap genius, annotating and researching what he is talking about.
Lupe has had a profound impact on my life with his art. Learned more through Lupe than I did at University.
"It's hard being a Lupe fan, go to Harvard to be a LupeStan" -Lupe
Happy to chat more about his art if you are interested
I suggest covering an old ep of lus, friend of the people: I fight evil.
It will also possibly help understand some lyrics he tends to repeat over that were initially made on this ep.
In dinosaurs, the T-Rex section was speaking to not only the dinosaur itself, but himself, being considered an older rapper being considered obsolete or outdated by younger rappers. Yet, he can and still will slice through opponents with the best of them.
Great review! You really shared your passion and depth, I'll check out the EP. From an avid NPR listener...
Great vid. You have to do a review of lupe’s other albums now. Especially Dragos Wave and Tetsuo and Youth ! Might take you a long time to get through all that though! Lol
I guess the thing that makes Lupe stick out for me is his way to always be vibrant with his thoughts that he translates to his music. His music isn't just concepts or being braggadocious, but how and why chooses to step in the element of those two ways to create art with his words. The fact that he can choose to be, "Complex" in a a project like "House EP" and how he can put you in the middle of the story like what he does on "Drogas Waves" There will never be another Lupe Fiasco in my opinion. He is the goat in a heard of so called black sheeps in the industry.
Dinosaurs (and lots of other references including "stay in the house kids") is also about older MCs comparing them to the newer generation of rappers. "It's all love but sometimes you gotta chastise the shorties"
Review Drogas Wave please! It might take a very long time but worth it!
If he loved this, he will ADORE Drogas Waves
And just like that, subscribed! You should check out his albums: Food and Liquor, The Cool. Tetsuo and Youth and Drogas Waves...you will love them!
It's always dope to see someone listen to Lupe for the first time and see their head slowly explode from bars 😂
You are fantastic. You would have a field day with Drogas Wave.
On the track "DINOSAURS" at the 3:02 to 3:04, I'm pretty sure the sample is of someone saying "Oh hi kids," is Mr. Dink from the animated TV Show "Doug."
It's a cool throwback. Mr. Dink, who was primarily the cooky next door neighbor, was also an epistemological figure. Through the course of the animated series, Mr. Dink gets Doug to think about things in a different way, which is what Lupe's doing in this track and in the album as a whole.
Not familiar with Doug and Mr. Dink? Here is a clip of Doug meeting Dink in the first episode of the series: ruclips.net/video/Vx0LxMBcNxo/видео.html. This show was one of the animated series that was on Saturday mornings on ABC, and reruns on Nickelodeon.
It just hit me, this track, Lupe's rapping to his kid(s), his pupils. Lupe is playing the part of the teacher passing down knowledge.
But how do we human beings pass down knowledge?
Human beings need a framework of metaphors, the sort that Virgil Abloh is meditating about on "HOMME MADE."
One can argue that Lupe is then using the dinosaurs as a framework to depict how our understanding starts full of flaws, which nonetheless, evolves. The abstract over time become concrete, their implications going on to affect every dimension of our everyday lives--media on tv, cereal on our table, plastics in our homes, gasoline in our cars.
Ultimately, the most humbling metaphor the dinosaurs serve for us is that they were once here, and now are not; just as we are here today and one day we won't.
I had a feeling it was Barney= Dinosaur
@@rcl9922 Oh that makes sense. Yeah. your're hella right. 100%
Definitely Barney
I thought it was Barney the Dinosaur
Love your analysis much appreciated!Please react to Lupe's Drogas Wave whenever you can
When you talk about the sacred and the profane at the same time, he has an album called Food and Liquor which a large theme of that album is a about the positive and negative coexisting definately worth a listen but I would start with his newer albums
You gotta do videos for his previous albums as well. It would be greatly appreciated
Hey there, about DINOSAURS:
According to Lupe Fiasco, in a conversation on The Joe Budden Podcast, the song has three layers to it. On the surface, it’s a history lesson on Dinosaurs. The song is however also a metaphor for older rappers still in the game like himself, Royce da 5'9 and Black Thought. Last but not least, it’s a look into the fragility of our existence.
You should check out Food and Liquor (retail and leaked version.) Honestly the Magnum Opus of Lupe. Really young and raw still trying to prove a point to the masses. Closest thing to Sgt Pepper's any album can be.
Lupe imo is the greatest lyricist and conceptual rapper ever. Go back and listen to all his albums please. You will love it I promise.
Food & Liquor
The cool
Lasers
Food and liquor 2
Tetsuo and youth
Drogas lite
Drogas waves
I'd add the leaked version of Food and Liquor too. It can be considered its own album on its own.
Let's be honest... You can skip a few of those albums
Drogas Lite (only for bangers, only when youre in a car with friends), Lasers (overly political) and Food and Liquor part 2 (lyrical af, but the production was sub par). Other albums are god tier.
“Dinosaurs” is about old rappers vs new rappers. Lupe explained it on the Joe Budden Podcast!
I saw that after I recorded this. I still think that it defies a singular interpretation.
I had to subscribe because this video is great and I’m very interested in your Flaming Lips review as well. I’m not religious but I pray that you listen to Tetsuo and Youth and Drogas Wave (especially T&Y but these were different moments in his life). Thanks for the dope review, can’t wait to go through your channel!
Thanks!
Regarding the line "if you wanna use brain cave space as a metric for intelligence, the T-Rex wasn't the smartest of the smartest, but you wouldn't wanna box with the short-armed carnivorous martial artist" the first thing that comes to mind for me is Malcolm Gladwell's article None of the Above: What IQ Doesn't Tell You About Race. In it he raises the point that due to the trend of IQ scores rising by 3 points per decade world-wide since the tests were conceived, IQ doesn't measure intelligence. Rather, it measures to what extent one has developed and practiced the skills that modern society necessitates. Because the environment of the 50's/lesser-developed nations in terms of what skills are utilized is different, it tracks that the IQ tests which measure those particular skills would display higher scores with time. I feel like Lupe is making a similar point with this line: we can't restrict creatures--people or dinosaurs--to specific metrics of intellilgence, and instead can only evaluate them based on their performance in the context of their environment and what it demands
You need more Lupe in your life fam. Listen to Tetsuo & Youth as well as Drogas Wave. Oh and dont forget the Pharaoh Height 2/30 mixtape.
Loved the review. LF95 was clearly freestyled. Makes it that more impressive.
This is amazing I'm mad I just found your channel today🙏.
Okay you HAVE to listen to more Lupe. he is my favourite rapper of all time, check out Drogas WAVE and Tetsuo & Youth as well as the youtube channel TimesNuRoman who does breakdowns on his songs with visual markers. Im a new sub first saw the Jay Elec video
This was so well broken down, thank you so much
This is a great breakdown analysis of a true masterpiece
You should review his first album Food & Liqour, it's a masterpiece.
To answer your Lupe question....
Lupe is my favorite artist and always has been, he’s the only celebrity I actually get any level of giddiness over even tho I know how silly that is, for instance he’s the only celebrity that I follow on IG, but his album the Cool was the first music album that I really got into
(The album is about things in the black community that we find “cool” but really aren’t so cool or good for us, and as a young Black male in high school at the time when I heard it, myself trying to make the best decisions and go on the path I felt and knew was best for me but feeling the social pressure it really hit home for me)
So since you’re asking about Lu my answer is this
1. He’s definitely always worth looking into when he drops a project because you never know when it’s going to be some ground breaking stuff as you experienced with his project “House”
2. Also everything he puts out is done with the energy of bettering us as people, helping humanity, enlightenment, discussion, etc.
3. You never know what you’re going to learn or get to take away from what he puts out
4. The only draw back I’ve found and what most people criticize him for is that his sound can change up quite a bit, but in all honesty this flaw that people have of him I’ve actually found to be a very strong attribute
Like for instance Lupe just put out House and you loved it so now if he drops a new project that feels completely different than House there’s a great chance of feeling disappointed, we get a thrill from something and had an expectation that possibly this new project would give us that same excitement and appreciation but it sounds so different that it feels as if we’ve been cheated
Like for instance I mentioned how I got into his music from his album the Cool, well his next album was called Lasers and it’s what everyone calls the disappointment of his career, it was a lot more pop sounding and even tho I enjoyed it on my first listen and the music is good there was a sense of disappointment because it sounds a lot different than the cool
(If you love Steph Curry because of his beautiful shooting and you take your son to a game and all of a sudden he’s only passing the ball there’s a natural disappointment)
But I’ve found now that Lupe is just really experimental, now on a ranking sheet this hurts him because when the average fan/music critics judge an artist there’s a very linear feel, for instance when Drake puts out a project you kinda expect a main stream feel, with beats that either are more slowed down almost R&B but not or with songs that could get you excited like in a club atmosphere, as a fan this is what you expect and this is what he constantly delivers so if his first project got high recognition well this new album fits the same mold so people view it similarly
However with Lupe the mainstream rap fan base or fans in general will love a project of his but then his next project will have an entirely different feel, sound, message (yet always positive) so they’ll say yeah it’s okay or decent BUT ITS NOT THAT OTHER PROJECT knocking him as not as good on people’s top rappers list, or someone worth listening to because it’s not consistent enough for their appetite
This fact though has become one of the favorite things about him to me, and has actually made me respect him more as an artist even if his career doesn’t match the criteria for “who’s the best rapper”
And this is because Lupe gives me a wide variety to choose from, he has songs that are my usual style to listen to that are masterpieces but then he also has projects like House where it’s more of a distinguished/classical/university feel or he has songs that are more pop, or that are more gangster rap feel etc
But the thing is with each song there are jewels that can be taken out and give you that mind blowing feeling
The best example I can give is he has a song called Next to it, and the lyrics are a lot more simple and it has a mainstream type beat and he dropped the song AND I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED, I was like Wtf he gave in to mainstream culture, but then a month or so later he drops the music video for the song and in the video he has an auction going on where no one is interested in buying anything (well ironically a white guy does buy the fan and the blender lol 🤣) but for the most part no one is interested and then in the video a girl starts standing next to the item and everyone loses their mind trying to buy it 😂😂 it was so incredibly a parody of mainstream radio rap lol I laughed so hard I made my friends leave their classes to come watch it ruclips.net/video/9gRPsz7Gf5k/видео.html
From that day I’ve learned to never write off a Lupe project because it sounds and feels different than I expected, it’s prob good practice to never write things all the way off even if I never touch them again but Lupe has especially earned that credence
Does that mean as a fan I force myself to love everything he drops, No, I haven’t even listened to House all the way through yet because it’s not my normal sound
But I appreciate Lu’s work because his discography is so vast yet all intelligent and bettering
If I hangout with my friends I pretty much know the style of music and feel we’re going to listen to, if I’m going to a party I know the feel, if I’m at my grandmothers house who loves classical I know the feel, when I was with my boss she loved a more country or pop feel and that’s what we listened to
But with Lupe he gives me the main dish of music that I like and prefer but sometimes my mood is more classical well he offers that, sometimes it is more pop he offers that, sometimes it is more gangster etc
I remembered when I used to Uber and this guy got in the car and I judged him and guessed he’d prob be more into a gangster hip hop so I put on Lupes song “the die” and his face scrunched up in a good way because he hadn’t heard it and he was like “WHO TF IS THIS, this is CRAZY” lol and then my next ride a women got in the car with her kids and I put on the Lupe song the show goes on which is a more pop upbeat feel and it fit perfectly and both songs had a positive take away point to them, That’s as dope as it gets to me
Maybe some people only like their genre but my mood changes on what type of music I want in any given moment, and I’ve also noticed the more you listen to a new sound the more you actually become okay with it and learn you do like it
So my advice on Lupe for you is that yes he really is THAT good, yes he’s a genius and a great artist
With that said the best way to be a fan of him Is to create 3 different categories
First is really fits you like House did
Second is kinda like it, kinda don’t, maybe good for a certain type of day
Third doesn’t fit me at all
Then when he drops something always give it a chance because you never know when it’s going to be a masterpiece or really thought provoking/connect with you/great addition for your main life soundtrack
But then when you’re in a mood of maybe wanting a love r&b song or pop or w.e is different than your usual but you still sometimes enjoy you can give those kinda like songs more of a chance
And then when you’re bored and just in an educational mood maybe wanting to listen to something almost like a musical podcast lol you can check out the dont fits OR maybe you’ll just be bored on RUclips one day and you’ll see some random guy doing a 47 minute breakdown of that Lupe project you kinda checked out but weren’t in the mood for yet lol 😂😂 just expected with Lu I remember seeing in the comment section once a guy who had written an essay for his class about his song “Adoration of the Magi” my 3rd favorite song of his lol
And the best part is that you know that everything he puts out however it’s genred or sounds has substance so you know while you’re diving in and out of all 3 of these categories you’re at least going to hear something that will give you a jewel, while at the same time the intelligence and substance is enough of a good reason to listen even if it’s just randomly checking into the “not fit” category which means your palette 🎨 is being given a great excuse to grow and stretch because we only grow when we’re uncomfortable
But that’s just what works for me for his music
If you want to check him out more Tetsuo & Youth is my favorite album of his and if you like House I think you’ll definitely like it
He has a 9min video on RUclips called the trilogy which is really dope
My favorite song of his is called Wav Files which makes me cry when hearing it so def dope and He say She say is my 2nd favorite
His first two albums Food & Liquor and The Cool are considered his classic albums and Drogas Wave 🌊 is a lot of people’s favorites as an album but all his stuff is worth looking into I don’t consider anything he has done as bad, it’s all at least good to really good in my opinion and who knows what you’ll take to, it all just has its time and place
Also Double Burger with Cheese with the video is dope
Bitch Bad with the video
The RUclips channel TimesNuRoman does really cool vids breaking down his lyrics
He does a thing on his RUclips channel called super facts
Every freestyle he’s ever done on Sway OR his freestyle on Tim Westwood
The song conflict diamonds!!
Oh and I REALLY think you'll like Animal Pharm!!
But ya I mean I think it’s known that rap genius either made their website or has a special appreciation for Lupe he really is the genius of our day that doesn’t get the recognition deserved but when the girl who says she only has dated assholes and hotheads and then says she’s attracted to you... is that really recognition?
I have way more respect for people who are not Hip Hop fans but recognize intellectual artists like Lupe than Hip Hop fans who only listen to Hip Hop artists that represent negative stereotypes of blacks.
Professor please review it was written by nas, IMO one of the most slept on albums and would be cool to hear someone of your caliber breaking it down.
Please please pleaaaaaaase
great review. just found this channel and I love the detail. You earned a sub.
Thanks!
Lupe travels to topics most rappers don’t think of landing on…
Lost in the Atlantic is a good one to check out. I taught my son about ww2 from his atomic misphilosophy.
HIS EP: PHARAOH HEIGHT
ANOTHER GREAT WRITER (WHO LUPE STUDIED FOR YEARS) IS MF DOOM. PLEASE DO HIS ALBUM MM.. . FOOD
IT IS GENIUS.
Yoooo My Mind Is Blown!!!
Andrew Barber is a public hip hop figure in Chicago. "Just cause Andrew's a Barber that don't mean he's giving haircuts"
andy warhol is WICKED dead
fuck, skye, this is such a good review
Tetsuo & Youth and DROGAS WAVE are Masterpieces and will go down in History.
Do more Lupe! Drogas Wave would blow you out of the water
If you don't know aesop rock, check out his 2016 album Impossible Kid. Would love to hear you review any of his upcoming projects. I appreciate your content, this music deserves to be discussed and analyzed the way you do here
thanks
I expected to get a great review. I didn't expect to get a Mugatu reference! :) LOL
You can't get anymore middle like water can't be any wetter
Listening to Lupe is like sawing the top of your head off and pouring in sprite and pop rocks. Then taking acid while skydiving. You question reality, have no idea where any of this is going and consistently experience micro brain explosions.
Love your thoughts on all of this! Fossil fuels aren’t really from dinosaur fossils though
That’s a man-made myth
GOT DAMMIT I SAID IT FIRST !!! . LUPE COULD REALLY BE A TEACHER WHO RAPS HIS LESSONS ...AND YOUR HOMEWORK IS TO GO HOME, BREAK THE LYRICS DOWN. BECAUSE LETS FACE IT, LUPE LYRICS IS HOMEWORK !!!
It's hard being a Lupe fan, go to Harvard to be a Lupe stan
I ain't sayin' that I'm harder, it's just harder when it's in Lupe's hands
Tetsuo & Youth review when?
thank you
I wonder how video gonna be when you Lupe full discovery. You'll make a whole new RUclips page only reviewing his albums and verses. Stay away from Failure, mural,mural Jr. And peice of paper cup of jaysus. You'll end up in Arkham asylum.
I may end up crazy! I'm sort of just sitting with House for the moment and still digesting.
@@professorskye can't wait for pt 2 of this video then😂
praising Lupe and a mugahtu reference *Smashes Sub Button*
I love the review but I think you're missing a huge point about the song Dinosaurs. It is specifically in reference to rappers and their coming of age. He has admitted this during a call with Joe Budden on his podcast. Budden admitted he didn't understand what the song was about and Lupe responded by saying, "It's about US"... as in older rappers
I found the link: ruclips.net/video/KPBTTWMRMLE/видео.html
And for extra credit, make a video using pictures to go with the lyrics....like they did mural. Or would that be a I.Q. TEST ...🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔
Shoe sole or the soul of the shoe helps our physical bodies standup
And
our souls stand up to everything.
Even if you need sit outside you need some type of defined shoe wear.
Most places have no shoes no service signs, hence you cannot participate in the human conglomerate experience without a shoe soul of somekind.
In all your soul has no meaning without this soled soul.
I gotta be real "npr rap" is hilarious
D R O G A S W A V E
Rarrrr, they probably didn't sound like that. But maybe close.
You should review The Cool.
Pleas listen to Mural and Mural jr !
Generally speaking intelectual people like intelectual music regardless of genre
Wait until he hears mural.......
WWJD, hed prolly LOL like WTF is a great song by Lu about consumerism and makes correlations with religous value. its a bit of a prelude to SHOES.
If you think this was a masterpiece you definitely need to hear food and liquor and the cool Even drogas wave and tetsuo and youth way better then this project
