The 24 inch line is really clever. Not only were big chrome rims a really popular thing with rappers but he lists 24 ills in the third verse. Go to the lyrics and count them up. So an inch for every ill to make 24 inch chrome rims. The deeper meaning can be that while these rims are expensive and shiny and represent wealth and affluence they are built on the backs of these ills. Nice reaction 👌🏽
WTF? did Lupe say this? I wouldn't put it past Lupe to be this clever! But, I would lean towards it being a coincidence, especially if he was trying to line up the bars to fit. But I love how you always pick up something else every time you listen to his music.
@@hk45kh it’s possible, but I feel that’s the fun of being a Lupe fan. I remember he put a line “funny how I’m only sick if you never catch a thing, argue with your friends about what really the record means, back and forth about its course with professors refereeing” that was in light works from his friend of the people mixtape. So I think he tries to put a lot of effort into making things for us to find.
@@frontroom That would be so cool. Please strongly consider doing ’The Cool”, one of his best albums. It's storytelling at its finest, with recurring characters and there's. That's all I’ll say, as it's better to experience on your own. Btw, I love the interaction between you and your dad, and I had to subscribe!
@@frontroom please do yourselves a favor and go through a BUNCH of Lupe... easily one of the best rappers of all time. If you want your mind blown, try Mural Jr. but not the live version 😅
@@Ewetoobizknotseys I'd say do Mural first. But watch the NuTimesRoman video breakdown. All the reactors mess up by just listening to the lyrics and getting lost.
This kid has great musical taste. I recommend Lupe's "Intruder Alert" which paints a great picture too, J. Cole's "Ville Mentality", Frank Ocean's "Sweet Life" and Kendrick's "FEEL.".
I'm so impressed that a father has raised a son to have independent taste and thoughts and remained open to be informed about other perspectives . Bravo !
@@Slave4urself yeah but none of those guys have made "mural". I get what you're saying though, I just mean pure skill wise and even then some of the guys you listed are just as skilled. But they aint never made mural.
I believe this wholeheartedly. Who can write and rap as complex, poignant and masterfully? Kendrick comes close but can’t touch Lupe’s triple entendres. Aesop Rock is very complex but the lyrics can be too abstract to decipher because of it. Yeah Nas and Jay are generally regarded as the best all around but in terms of lyrical mastery Lupe is a 10th degree black belt.
When pops made the Marvin corelation, it def provoked some thought. Never really listened to Lupe like that myself, but he always gave off that Hip Hop Marvin feel. It was a good comparison.
This is therapeutic to watch. Just the appreciation. And ability to be still and take in the lyrics and instrumental and see some experience it for the first time while I experience of the nostalgia from moments of the past
Before watching I have to say thay this song is a masterclass in english lyricism. It doesn't go into the super hard metaphors or hard words most don't understand but it's simple in it's wide complexity. This is my personal favorite rap song of all time as a long hip hop fan. The song just goes together super smoothly and manages to touch so many poignant grievences of the world without becaming outdated and sounding effortless. I no lie listened this song last time in the span of 24 hours.
Subscribing now. Literally just found this channel a minute ago. Your dad made me think when he said Lupe reminded him of Marvin Gaye. I never thought of that.
_Food and Liquor, the Cool, Tetsuo and Youth,_ and _Drogas Wave_ are all among the top 20 hip-hop albums of all time, if you ask me. When Lu is on, he's ON. Lupe's real name is "Wasalu Jaco," Lupe Fiasco's just his stage-name.
Lupe is a underrated artist. Lupe, is my favorite artist and the connection that you're having with your father is incredible! Hurt me soul has so many stories. It's a masterpiece....lol you tried with 24" wheel verse. Hard to explain if you haven't dealt with it. Great job, explaining it to your father.
I might be biased (Chicagoan), but Lupe feels like 'the Kendrick that wasn't.' I don't know why he didn't pop off, but I wish he managed to take the stage like Kendrick and J. Cole (or JID, much later) in the 'conscious rap' sphere. Here's to a comeback, he's still doing good work around Chicago even if he isn't some superstar like Chance.
He was soo ahead of his time and outspoken and rebellious...he never quite fit in any box in the industry and they didn't want to push his music even though he was in the majors...I think when he spoke up especially on bill riley they black black balled him
@@Dra3000 I agree, in a broad sense. I dont think the 'cancel culture' narrative works as well when we're talking about the early 2010s, and he's still a major figure in Chicago (where I live). I dont know why Lupe hasnt hit the kind of success compared to K-Dot, but appearing on a conservative talk show feels like criticizing the ALU leader for going on Tucker. Shit aint simple.
Same. He’s never been given the flowers he deserves. I fell in love with this album my first year of college and it’s since been one of my classics that is always in rotation. He truly was the Kendrick that wasn’t.
@@kpatter6 Honestly, it might just take a well timed feature from someone like Kendrick (new album dropping...) plus follow through with a new album. Fingers crossed. Either way, we got what we got and it was good.
My dad listened to Lupe a lot when I was younger along with dmx, Tupac, too $hort. Now that I’m older I listen to a lot of Lupe too and honestly it crazy to realize how woke Lupe is. His lyrics has a way deeper meaning than most will understand. I recommend daydreamin by Lupe. It’s on this exact same album but that was the Lupe song I grew up listening to and it’s so good
Spam watching yalls page. Helping this recovery go smoother. A lot of the rap songs really speak to my life. Keep doing what y'all are doing. Love seeing people who appreciate music the way I do
There is so much great Lupe you can explore and there is definitely a lot to unpack in his brilliant lyrics. If im to choose one off the top of my head I’d ask for you to do Words I Never Said.
Great reaction! My interpretation of "sitting in chrome 24 inch wheels" was a continuation of his acknowledgement of his own hypocrisy. He knows all these horrible things are happening, but they aren't stopping him from participating in the system. He has another song on one of his older mixtapes where he raps about blood diamonds over the "Diamond Are Forever" beat and he says "you gotta know to be a hypocrite". I think that fits the theme of this song, too
I was thinking that exact thing about wav files!! And then I scroll down and see this 😂😂😂 definitely have to do it now. And they can really dive into that song
An amazing song; Lupe is my favorite hip hop artist. I've read the meaning behind the chrome 24 inch wheels is that it's to reflect the 24 ills he describes in the verse. Please go thru as much of his catalog as you can; though when you mentioned logging, another talented, conscious rapper that mentions ecological (and political) issues is Chris Webby.
Glad to know Lupe is not alone among rappers in his concern about nature and our negative impacts. Thanks for the reference to Chris Welby, will check him out. (Dad)
@@frontroom One that isn't too long that he kind of goes over it is the radio freestyle on Bootleg Kev. For a way deeper delve, he's got a series of tracks called Raw Thoughts that get quite critical of politicians and he names names 😮 Yall are putting out great content, consider this more of an off-channel recommendation. If you do Webby, everyone will want Tom MacDonald instead. 😶
I just found this channel and fell in love with the concept immediately ! I would love for you two to react to “Meet the Parents” by Jay-Z it’s a very lyrical and dark story of the life of being raised without a father and being in a chaotic lifestyle.
One little recommendation - if/when you do Mural, you might want to use the *TimesNuRoman* youtube video AND the lyrics to follow along. The video does a great job of weaving the metaphors together, otherwise you will miss a lot of wordplay and double/triple entrendre on the first listen. Loving the song selection so far on the channel!
A few requests: Clipse - I'm Not You (the last verse in particular) Nas - Rewind Nas - I Gave You Power Immortal Technique - Dance with the Devil Immortal Technique - Rich Man's World I'm feeling the interactions between the both of you.
One of my fav lupe songs this is great getting people who dont really hear the culture feel the pain this more than words!!! Much love keep doin this!!!!
Thanks for this, I'm embarrassed to say that I have never given Lupe Fiasco a listen because I felt the name was to gimmicky. Funny how we can limit our experience due to a ridiculous thought we might have. I enjoyed the song and had no idea he came from the conscious angle. In my imagination he was a mumble rapper. Also, really enjoyed the reaction as usual.
One thing in hip hop I learned is to never judge an artist by their name. I did that with Joey Badass when he first dropped and he ended being a dope rapper even though I'm not really a fan anymore.
Lupe fiasco is the most lyricist rapper of all time, I'm shocked that you thought he's a mumble rapper:) listen to mural song , every song of his is a masterpiece
@@N3XTL3V3LD3ViL I think it was because of the name for some reason. Since watching this reaction I've been listening to him I'm stoked him and Aesop are making music. Goes to show contempt prior to investigation is a bar against all knowledge.
I'm kinda jealous. You get to go listen to all his stuff. He is a master lyricist. Hello darkness Next to it Put you on game Death of the cool Daydreaming Just start from the beginning and enjoy the ride. ....
This was refreshing as hell, I can't lie. I usually watch reaction's to a lot of trap songs. But this took me back to when I first started enjoying music, my brother put me on to Lupe when I was around 13. Food & Liquor is classic too me, but The Cool is just on another level of hip-hop. Would love more Lupe content.
Awesome reaction, so authentic! Love it! Lupe is very conscious, and his art is very underrated in my opinion. If you guys REALLY want your mind blown react to K-RINO (pronounced K Reeno).. Can almost choose ANY song..he has 50 albums!! Most underrated Lyricist ever if you ask me. Quite hard to suggest a particular song because he has SO MANY great ones. But PLEASE take time to consider his music..You will not look back once you start that journey.. Guaranteed! Maybe start with GRAND DECEPTION ...or THE SERPENT ...or maybe AINT IT FUNNY 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes YES! PLEASE react to K-RINO! Been rapping since the 80s He is not on commercial radio (his subject matter too serious for them to handle). His story telling ability unparalleled! His vocabulary.. his word play and metaphors and punchlines indescribable! SO many Great songs! Try "SOLITARY CONFINEMENT" or "THE CANVAS" ....I mean ANYthing by K-RINO, you'll love it, especially the more songs you hear! Keep up the great work guys, really enjoy your videos!
Just found y'all today and I gotta say I truly appreciate your reactions. They're so genuine and it gives me goose bumps when people hear amazing music for the first time. More Lupe!! And I think Kendrick just might blow your dad's mind lol
This was my first time hearing that song from Lupe fiasco. I loved it 💝I always listen to his first song that got popular (kick push) the skateboard song and the second song I listen to is ( if you are who you say you are a superstar the camera is here and have no fears) but this song definitely going put it in my playlist
This is amazing! The whole series. I’m on my third video by you two. As a hip hop artist, I’m pleasantly pleased by your song selection. Truly a representation of the power of the genre. God bless!
This is my first time watching you guys but I loved this video, its always great to see other people appreciating music I love. If you're gonna do another Lupe reaction I would recommend WAV Files, Madonna, or Put You on Game. Mural is an amazing song, a contender for the most lyrical song of all time, but I think it would be very hard to do a reaction video to it. It's just so long and jam packed with dense, complex lyricism and metaphors and it's really just impossible to take it all in and fully appreciate it on your first listen. Also if you're looking for other conscious hip hop I would love to see reactions to stuff like 'Mathematics' - Mos Def or 'Below the Heavens pt1' - Blu

Gotta say…as a 45 year-old hip-hop head, this kid has great taste!! Dad did a fantastic job.
This kid has great musical taste.
I recommend Lupe's "Intruder Alert" which paints a great picture too, J. Cole's "Ville Mentality", Frank Ocean's "Sweet Life" and Kendrick's "FEEL.".
You, my friend, have very great taste in music
Intruder alert is such a great track
Check out glory by lupe its one of my favorites from him
CW for anyone who has experienced SA for Intruder Alert. I personally cannot listen to that song.
I'm so impressed that a father has raised a son to have independent taste and thoughts and remained open to be informed about other perspectives . Bravo !
Yea It’s sad that a lot of people force there children to be like them when they wanna be themselves
Bar for bar lupe fiasco just might the best rapper to ever live. Every time I listen to him it reminds me of this fact. He’s unbelievably smart
This is wild to say just because people like Black Thought, Andre 3K, KA, Krit, and Jay Elect exist. I’m sure I forgot many others.
@@Slave4urself yeah but none of those guys have made "mural". I get what you're saying though, I just mean pure skill wise and even then some of the guys you listed are just as skilled. But they aint never made mural.

I agree fully, his next album is supposed to be a game changer btw
That's why I hate when people say eminem is the best bar for bar.. like you clearly haven't heard Lupe 😂
"All the world's ills sitting on chrome 24 inch wheels" Lupe is an absolute legend.
Iconic line
Lupe is among my favorites! The Marvin Gaye comparison is on point 👌🏽
A few that I like that I don't see listed yet:
- Hip Hop Saved my Life
- The Cool
- Words I Never Said
When pops made the Marvin corelation, it def provoked some thought. Never really listened to Lupe like that myself, but he always gave off that Hip Hop Marvin feel. It was a good comparison.
My first time hearing this song and I’m bobbing like a bobble head. Definitely a new one added to the playlist. 🔥
After you get done with the Food and Liquor album by Lupe which is classic.. You should audibly digest Jedi Mind Tricks, his mix tape era
@@sterlingneely7737 Got’cha!
@@sterlingneely7737 I'm saddened you didn't mention The Cool.
This is therapeutic to watch. Just the appreciation. And ability to be still and take in the lyrics and instrumental and see some experience it for the first time while I experience of the nostalgia from moments of the past

Haha thank you!
Dude when your dad said it reminds him of Marvin Gaye that really touched my soul.
IT HURT YEEEEE SOULLL
One of the most underrated and rarely heard/acknowledged rap songs. This is always unskippable for me thanks for doing this
Your dad is so cute. I love when he’s really enjoying something and he yells “whew!” 😂❤
Lupe Fiasco is also one THE Lyrical Gods to ever rock a mic. Please do more Lupe Music.
Subscribing now. Literally just found this channel a minute ago. Your dad made me think when he said Lupe reminded him of Marvin Gaye. I never thought of that.
I love dad...
Childish Gambino- feels like summer I think you & your dad would love
Little Weapon by Lupe would be a great one as well.. such a well put together song!
Absolutely!!!!!!
I don't see people recommend that one much! Good one to hear though.
"Tetsou and Youth" and "Drogas Wave" are both amazing albums from Lupe. You may enjoy NF's Clouds Mixtape
It’s crazy to both praise Lupe and recommend NF in the same comment lmao
_Food and Liquor, the Cool, Tetsuo and Youth,_ and _Drogas Wave_ are all among the top 20 hip-hop albums of all time, if you ask me. When Lu is on, he's ON.
Lupe's real name is "Wasalu Jaco," Lupe Fiasco's just his stage-name.
This is probably my favorite hip hop album. Please do more songs from this!
I love how open minded your Dad is to new music and how he really gets into understanding the lyrics. Dope 💯.
You unlocked a core memory for me with this song 🙏
same 💯
Lupe Fiasco content made me love him .... His concepts make me appreciate him ... " The Cool " should be in the Smithsonian museum...
Enjoy every moment with your father. He seems like a great man
I want to hear this Dad talk about everything. Music , movies , politics… everything
This is awesome…this has always been my favorite Lupe Song. Classic album most underrated..

Absolutely love Hurt Me Soul. I’m avoiding listening to any other Fiasco song in case Kai wants to do another one on the channel. (dad)
@@frontroom hey! I actually on another video recommended Lupe before I found this video! Yes plz definitely listen to another Lupe! Any other will do!
Classic album. Priceless review! Keep rocking
This song brings tears to my eyes and you guys giggle in appreciation.
I'm so glad you reacted to this song. IMO, this is one of his most underrated songs and Lupe is underrated too.
dont feel awkward to sing a melody from the track, its beautiful when it comes from a place of authenticity
I might be biased (Chicagoan), but Lupe feels like 'the Kendrick that wasn't.' I don't know why he didn't pop off, but I wish he managed to take the stage like Kendrick and J.

Lupe is the most talented mc I've ever heard. Solid vid, interesting breakdown, and very respectable channel! Cheers
Enjoyed the reaction. I would suggest wav files by Lupe (fosters a better discussion). Mural is a great song, definitely harder in terms of reacting.
Good to know! Thank you for the information 🙌
WAV Files for sure.
If you do Mural, watch the visual video by TimesNuRoman. Helps a lot. Especially with the first listen.
I was thinking that exact thing about wav files!! And then I scroll down and see this 😂😂😂 definitely have to do it now. And they can really dive into that song
Just discovered Mural a few months back after not listening to him for a while, but man both of his two first albums were classic.
Shout out Front room,from outchea in Kenya,watching this is awesome, amazing chemistry with your dad,do Cole too someday🌻

Clipse - I'm Not You (the last verse in particular)
Nas - Rewind
Nas - I Gave You Power
Immortal Technique - Dance with the Devil
Immortal Technique - Rich Man's World
I'm feeling the interactions between the both of you.

One of my fav lupe songs this is great getting people who dont really hear the culture feel the pain this more than words!!! Much love keep doin this!!!!
Lupe Fiasco - he say she say. Beautiful song.
I love you guys, it's awesome seeing your reactions and hearing your opinions

best rap song of all time in my opinion

I think your dad would enjoy "He Say, She Say" off the same album
One of my favorite songs ever
Yes, I was just thinking this!
One of my faves
Listing to you and you're dad's dialog is the best part of these videos.
Thank you for the kind words :) appreciate you watching!
Check out “conflict Diamonds” by Lupe Fiasco. Song is insane. Will knock your socks off. 👍
U jus gained a subscriber fr! I was not expecting this at all! Your musical taste is dope fr ✊🏽
Thanks for the sub!
Definitely need to do Day Dream by Lupe for your father. He will recognize and love the sample.
Great reaction ❤ You guys should check out Lupe Fiasco "The Cool" of this same album very deep imo
Your dad would love lupe fiasco - mural it’s a master piece
Lupe is so amazing
This is amazing! The whole series. I’m on my third video by you two. As a hip hop artist, I’m pleasantly pleased by your song selection. Truly a representation of the power of the genre. God bless!
This is my first time watching you guys but I loved this video, its always great to see other people appreciating music I love. If you're gonna do another Lupe reaction I would recommend WAV Files, Madonna, or Put You on Game. Mural is an amazing song, a contender for the most lyrical song of all time, but I think it would be very hard to do a reaction video to it. It's just so long and jam packed with dense, complex lyricism and metaphors and it's really just impossible to take it all in and fully appreciate it on your first listen. Also if you're looking for other conscious hip hop I would love to see reactions to stuff like 'Mathematics' - Mos Def or 'Below the Heavens pt1' - Blu
Found your channel today. LOVE IT not sure how old you both are but gotta say your son has god tier taste in hip hop! Good on you both. Keep it up
amazing reaction from your dad!
Nice! I’ve never listened to Lupe, but now I’ll give him a shot!
More Lupe fiasco ! There’s so much to talk about in his songs.
Lupe def top 5 for me personally
I love this song omggg. Lupe was my childhood!
Definitely do murals next.
Wonder what he would think of "Streets on Fire". Great reaction. More Lupe please.
