Lupe Fiasco Drill Music In Zion (Discussion Thread)

[Chip Skylark]

left, left, right, left, and learn how to run underground drills in Zion” made me realize how he tied the matrix theme into the album.

The next GHOTTI “neurolinks are pirating fantasy’s” the same thing was happening to those not in Zion.

Drill music in Zion ~ it’s literally music made for the pollution of waters and food shortages we’re going through in the real world and what his sister described in the intro

Rappers die too much
thats it thats the verse

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Martyrdom will call, Russian roulette is in the flanks
And most would pull the trigger if the weapon's full of blanks
But when there's a pool of sharks and you step into the tank
That's the pool of art that got 'em headed to the plank
But they fell for the deceptiveness of the secularist's complaint
The upheaval of the cathedral into the edifice of bank
That pile over there is just the evidence of angst
The failed revival of a perfectionist when his efforts have just sank
A selection of the waste that lacks direction or a base
You lose all of the plots for the affections of a race
Man does not become superior 'cause you connect him to a cape
Nor does become inferior because you connect him to a ape

 

[Street Messiah]

i wish they threw some drums under that intro and he spit over it

 

[brianwuzhere]

"Wear my dharma like it's armor, cause I don't wanna return
To The Wheel of the Quivering Meat Conception
Sometimes I hide inside Kerouac for protection
From the Thanksgiving where bears attacking the dressing"
On Faux Nem hitting even harder now:

The wheel of the quivering meat conception
Turns in the void expelling human beings,
Pigs, turtles, frogs, insects, nits,
Mice, lice, lizards, rats, roan
Racinghorses, poxy bubolic pigtics,
Horrible, unnameable lice of vultures,
Murderous attacking dog-armies
Of Africa, Rhinos roaming in the jungle,

Vast boars and huge gigantic bull
Elephants, rams, eagles, condors,
Pones and Porcupines and Pills-
All the endless conception of living beings
Gnashing everywhere in Consciousness
Throughout the ten directions of space
Occupying all the quarters in & out,
From super-microscopic no-bug
To huge Galaxy Lightyear Bowell
Illuminating the sky of one Mind-
Poor! I wish I was free
of that slaving meat wheel
and safe in heaven dead

[Regular_P]

You never know what to expect from a Lupe project, but off first listen, I thought this was really good.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

[Nabs]

From Lu's IG feed

"I took a picture, looked like my window was crying..."

 

[BandOfGypsys]

Verse 2 of DMIZ....he was in his bag on that one

I mean he was in his bag the whole album...still have two tracks to go..but that verse was beautiful

 

[Versa]

"These...episodes..of the soul...make me cold

Pass the 'mote control

Can we make a hole for...all the drill music in zion?"

 

[EastByrd]

Very hard album. Best project of his since T&Y

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Very very dope, possibly great Lu album.

These last two bars is blowing mine. Its so fukkin complex and simple yet powerful and disturbing. Im aghast.
