Lupe Fiasco Drill Music In Zion (Discussion Thread)

[TrapChampion31]

Living outside the US, Sweden, im not really that familliar with the Culture, HipHop all that so the shyt i listen to is very nitpicky, biased all that.

Ive gone through a few plays on the whole album and the one thing i felt like was missing is the "Bang". Autobot fills that void but i still felt like it needed more of that. I guess listening too much to T.I. does that to me.

But i still think overall the album is amazing. Its short but to the point. The Body of work is amazing. Lyrics blow my head away. And i still need a PROPER lyrical breakdown to fully understand and fully appreciate the album even more. I also need to delve deeper in to Lupe's catalogue.

Also Naomi track, the beat, thats my fukking shyt. Wooh is that shyt so goddamn good.

Verse 1
Rappers DIE too much..
That's it, that's the verse..

Verse 2..
silent reflection, was the first verse's mission
I ain't want to water it down w/ a whole bunch of conditions
Just give it to you raw on how a nikka REALLY feelin'
"Rappers get shot too much"
Prolly has a lot more precision
But that was the dеcision,
and with that, I'ma stick
I don't really support nikkas,
'cause the shyt bе making me SICK
Look at what we SAY in this bytch, just to get rich
“Shoot a nikka right in the head” don't even FLINCH?!

Nah, nah we can't, we can't talk about THAT..
We gotta talk about something else..
I mean, because it's hypocritical, nikka, you got guns
You surrounded by gangsters and killers,
all ya nikkas like: The fukk is you talmbout?
nikka, talk about SOMETHING ELSE,
talk about something else..

ohh, the UK site had it...these notes weren't available on the stateside version of the same product vinyl...they even mentioned the 72 hours and longtime producer collabo
that's kinda crazy how the apple exclusive is mentioned as something "not included" as part of the product's description.

with a 10 track list, you would think lupe would make some crazy acronym spelled out with the first letter of every title or something

 

[The Mad Titan]

Probably one of my favorite Lupe albums as of 1st play through

 

[Ironman]

It's cool.Drill music in zion the best song to me this is fire

Yeah, this was obviously an accident, much like the tracklist being out a month early and things are still shaky with his distribution company Thirty Tigers.

I’ve admired many cities through the windows of hotels
And from a window of a plane I’ve seen a window of a cell
The plane started to fly, the rain started to fell
That’s LaGuardia & Rikers, an airport next to a jail
I took a picture, it looked like my window was crying
Cuz it was sad that all they saw every day was somebody flying
And they was trapped…

I’ma need a moment hold ya head to my nikkaz that shouldn’t be n there

 

[Kenyan West]

this album needs visuals ASAP

that being said, not what I expected, but it's pure class. I bet this thread will explode after brehs listen to this in crib at night, chillin

somber af, but it's mature.. and of course.. lupe does his thing with the BARS

It's very chill and laid back.

 

[breakfuss]

It's real laid back and so far I'm enjoying the production. But I was listening through some airpods. The real test will come later .
