Lupe Fiasco - DROGAS WAVE (Discussion Thread)

[Mr. Manhattan]

where the fukk has this Lupe been?

album is fire

I feel like I need to climb the highest mountain on a sunset surrounded by fire flies listening to WAV Files

 

[Da_Eggman]

Need to start a gofundme for a Alan Forever video

 

[Versa]

MAN NOW!

....I'M THE MAN..NOW.

Finally listened. I like it, but I feel like the concept limited what he could do. I like Mural type joints with the crazy wordplay and all that. This is really good, but I don't see myself playing it a lot. A concept album this serious isn't going to have an "entertaining" tone. The production had definite highs and lows.

I'm saying!!

I still think disc 1 could be a movie. He basically wrote the plot.

At minimum it could be an Anime style short film...kind of like what Daft Punk did with Discovery

That actually means you need to listen to it without the concept in mind

Songs like King Nas, Cripple, happy timbuck2 day... didn’t need anything to do with the concept to be dope

But your choice

He really only kept with that concept for the first 9 songs.

 

[(ALi)]

Top 5 for me are:
Wav files
Jonyah forever
Alan forever
Stack that cheese
Drogas/king nas

Not exactly. You could say he skipped a few generations and continued on with likening the first part with his experiences with Atlantic

thats how I see it

it went from say "his ancestors" and he linked it back to him and his family. As well as applying this to black people in general with the first part being slavery era to modern day.

its like a audio family saga story.

Man...even tho Slave Ship is just an interlude with violins it really makes you imagine a slave ship crossing the middle of the ocean on a dark stormy night

I’m talking about the slaveship/waves/water concept.

I fukk with it, just didn't blow me away. It may grow on me. Never said it was wack or anything.

I know, I'd say just look at it as a two-hour movie with a 45 minute back story... Or liken it to us getting Kingdom Hearts 2 with the 3 hr tutorial (minus the dumbfoundedness the majority of us felt since we didn't play those stupid handheld spinoffs).
