Lupe Fiasco - DROGAS WAVE (Discussion Thread)

[10:31]

How many interviews do you see Kendrick doing?

Kanye’s downfall is the microphone

J Cole will be put in line for his stance on the 2016 election.

Why do you think Kaep doesn’t speak on the issue he knelt for?

Come on young men..

Do it for the love

He rolled the dice being too honest with them people. There is a lesson here to be learned, when you dealing with them keep it business.

This isn’t the 60s anymore..

If Ali was around now he wouldn’t be seen as a hero, they would be vilifying him for his stances on changing social norms

We have thought police out here who are itching at the idea of shutting you down based on your views...

Lu got too comfortable

He did do it for the love. This album was supposed drop a while ago. He kept it from the label to stop it being compromised

this is why people are kept in check today.. that whole keep it business attitude. If people thought like this in the civil rights era nothing would have changed. Lupe kept it business he gave the label Drogas light. This is his independent release. The only ones failing are the rap fans. Ali would be treated like Kaep today and just like in that situation it's the fans failing again but this time the ones who still support the NFL.

No sir

Keep it business, never let the right hand know what the left is doing and make your moves in silence

The civil rights movement was co-opted only those people who write history will tell you it was a success.

You’ve got your own brain and eyes, look at our people right now.... look at the circumstances the majority of us live in.. look the schools and neighborhoods most of us live in...

Look at the wealth gap and who makes up the majority of the prison population but are the minority in the nation’s overall population.


The civil rights movement wasn’t all its caked up to be but that’s another thread

Kaep has people in his ear telling him how to move. Remember he said the same thing Cole just did about our voting process and both candidates

When the left saw he couldn’t be controlled they were ready to lynch him but he stopped TALKING

Nobody can read your mind my g.. actions speak louder than words

Remember that

After letting it cook for a week, this my favorite album this year, hands down.

Well done Lupe. :_banksrejoice:

The gatekeepers lol

forgot about this

 

[Cadillac]

Every single review is all about the concept and not the actual music

I noticed in that Pitchfork review they used the word "revisionst" in a negative way and their tone was very

Do u happen to know the race of the writer.?

 

[Cadillac]

Listen to what you just said!

Society as a whole is getting away from dialogue and in-depth analysis on anything

Look at the meme culture or how fast things move now

This is why brehs are ready to say classic or trash after one or two listens

There was a Ross thread a few weeks back that was breaking down God Forgives in comparison to Teflon Don.

Basically the OP wanted our opinions on why it felt like God Forgives was lacking when it had so many strong records

Second post in the thread was “God Forgives, I Don’t was trash”

I immediately respond to the breh with “explain”

If you can’t articulate or communicate why you feel the way you do about something your opinion truly is meaningless

Edit* or when you breaking something down and you can’t stay on topic and your using things that have nothing to do with the album or it’s content to sway your review

Your review is meaningless

E.g., you know this Lupe album is bad when he doesn’t have a kick push or a superstar on it


wtf does that have to do with this album.. ?

It's not that deep, there's nothing wrong with someone briefly saying something is bad.

Some just didn't like it that's all that's it is

But the issue here is P4k has clear flaws in their reviewing

And are bias to whoever is hot, trendy, can get them clicks, political as fukk and will give whoever good reviews where they will benefit from and other issues u can list

I think giving these cacs power is something sillyy that some black folks r doing.

Esp. In this era where nikkas r so "Black power/ woke/ blackexcellance" and harp on "culutre vulture" but let these cacs go on thinking they have some power or voice

 

[Da_Eggman]

That dude from rap reviews will give it all tens I’m sure he loves Lupe

when you follow the money and see who’s really pulling the strings a lot of things begin to click on a deeper level

“You ain’t woke if you funded by Soros”

^That’s the type of tweet Lupe would post lol.

[broli]

its pretty clear from the p4k review that he only listened to it like once or twice

 

[SpookyElectric]

This is an undeniable classic

 

[Walt]

I held out on this... but damn if it aint a dope ass album.

RIP Alan who liked smilin and had talents

Is there a connection between the fish/boats and the myth of Poseidon?

 

[Insensitive]

If Walt says it's dope. I'll get on to checking it out then.
