I had my wife read the story about Alan Kurdi's death and then played Alan Forever for her and she was in tears

“Opium to the ceiling
All for the love of plug squealing”


Arguably one of the greatest flips of a classic line

Good seeing this thread get constantly bumped based of the music.

No diss tracks, viral video etc.

Just dope productions, bars and concepts

Smh I knew it sounded familiar. I'd never think Lupe would reference something like that tbh lol.

The middle of the album grew on me a lot as the lyrics digested.

He killed The Champ Is Here beat, had to have been a fan.

Is the 25 dollar version that he's selling on his site the same as the physicals on Amazon?

Sounds like it, I imagine he's just trying to rake in as much money as possible for Skulls' sample clearances.

Yeah $33 incl shipping - pretty steep, but I was super hype that night after hearing the album. Packaging was ultra economical, not even a paper receipt or anything extra, that was actually cool to me. It did come in a matching paper sleeve that covers the folding paper case. Same photo on the sleeve & on the folding case. When he was selling copies at the meet & greet they didn't have that sleeve, so idk if amazon copies will have it or not. Great for protecting the inner folding case, so that's what's up!

Still haven't really fell in love with the whole project but that's because certain songs just hook me, I really got into Down for a while and now Sungod Sam and the California drug deals....shyt is like heroine. Like the last week or so that's the ONLY song that I have been listening to, shyt feels wrong but right at the same time lol

I feel like I'm trying to download that shyt into my head.

I've been neglecting a lot of this album because every time WAV Files comes on, I'm in a trance

I put just the 2nd disk on rotation last night and that half alone is up there with F&L in terms of bars, flows, concepts, and production. It almost works best as a completely separate album to me.

Just saw this, wondering if this is a official release

Lupe Fiasco - Drogas Wave 3LP

2nd disk is like a Lupe’s greatest hits album. Everything you want in a Lupe album

Jazzy/Soul introspective Lupe - King Nas, Cripple, QFCF, Imagine

Storytelling Lupe - Jonylah Forever, XO

Bar heavy Lupe - Mural Jr

Fun Lupe (Paris, Tokyo, Gold Watch) - Happy Timbuck2 Day

Black Power Lupe - Kingdom

Not even mentioning Sun God Sam, Stronger, too many bangers

1st disk is just wavy as hell. Like a short motion picture film

Manilla
Gold vs The Right Things to Do
Slave Ship Interlude
WAV Files
Down
Haile Selassie
Alan Forever

It was a Biggie line first
