Lupe Fiasco - DROGAS WAVE (Discussion Thread)

[spliz]

Like I said two weeks ago, it’s legends who couldn’t handle him right now

He’s a genuine problem, he’s in a league of his own. I’ve heard nothing from any MC that makes me feel otherwise.

Legends out of their prime and focused on other things. I don't really see anyone lyrically fukkin wit Lu in the game right now tho. For sure.

Lil Wayne: Tha Carter V Album Review | Pitchfork

I thought it was a good album but apparently better than every Lupe album of the last ten years

Wayne's album was better than a lot of people expected, but it definitely drags and is full of filler.

So it's ironic that that will get better reviews yet it suffers from the exact same critiques and is clearly inferior overall

I caught the Harvey line off rip because I'm from the area. Have friends and family that live and work there. A friend of mine actually went to HS with Lu (Thornton HS). Said that they had a talent show one time and my mans got booed off stage



Now he's a GOAT

They only promote and big up black music that is distructive and that reinforce stereotypes of black people.

I didnt really like Carter V. Nothing really stuck out to me and it seemed to drag imo.

Wayne been in the game so long. I feel like he should switch it up and give us more depth.

Everyone doesnt got to be a lupe but wayne should take more of a jayz route at this point.

this man an alien

GOAT*

Yeah, no disrespect to the legends. They’re out of their prime but at what point do we start saying Lu is out of his prime still delivering?

Like after 10 years you’re out of your prime

Lupe has entered that last phase of his career and he still sharp.. his pen is sharper then ever

GREAT POINT...

WHO HAS PUT OUT AN ALBUM OF THIS CALIBER
13 YEARS AFTER THEIR 1ST ALBUM?

ITS EASY TO THINK OF LU AS NEW GENERATION
WHEN HES REALLY NOT.

I wish some other big artists would support Lupe

Kayne went from Lupe to lil pump no mentions from him

On Joe Budden podcast they gave it a little love but glossed over it

Where mr hip hop Peter Rosenberg always going on how he wants barss

What album this year got more bars has he mention Lupe at all?

For the culture Ebro?

I hate mumble rappers CTG giving any props to this?

How sway

That Joe Budden podcast irritated the shyt out of me. I understand they like to joke a lot about things, but when Rory was about to give a little deep dive on the album, Joe just cut him off. Normally when this happens I don't mind it; however, Joe is a lyricist, he should promote other lyricist.

And the fact that CTG hasn't mentioned anything irritates me. CTG is on his pro Black shyt. I don't know how he feels about Lupe as an artist; however, the overall theme should attract him to mention it.

I am trying my best not to Stan Lupe, but this project is literally being overlooked by the modern day "gatekeepers" of hiphop....(even though gatekeepers don't exist anymore)

I feel like all of this reflects the era we are in. Nobody wants the story, just give us the headline.

This is exactly what I’m saying

We’re watching a brother’s art literally go to shyt with each passing project (Kanye)

Lupe is out of his prime now. At what point do we start assessing the second half of these artists careers?

You have a lot of artists that are living off their first two or 3 projects but haven’t delivered anything transformational in the last 5-7 years...

I give you props for continuing your hate in this thread

Can you really? It's like those schoolyard days of boys throwing rocks at girls they secretly like but don't know yet how to express that to them.

Except in this case it's another man so I'll just leave that alone
