Just realized when he's saying "WOW WOW" on WAV Files it stands for Walking On Water

 

[Breh Obama]

You were so busy just tryin' to shine
You shoulda been tryin' to save us

I called it earlier in the thread

It think it's also a metaphor for him calling out the stars for guiding the slave ships the same way he called out the ocean for carrying the ships and wood for being made into the slave ships

It is breh!!!

This is why Lupe is the GOAT! People complain about him being too lyrical but lines like these are simple but have multiple meanings that also goes along with the narrative and story he's telling. No modern rapper is or can do it at his level IMO

They complain about him being too lyrical but when he dumbs it down they say he “fell off”.

Lupe could go both ways. Homie is just in a league of his own.


Sun god sam is heavy in rotation for me right now.

Is it a bit much to say this is one of the greatest rap albums of all time? At least that I’ve heard in my life. It kinda snuck up on me. The first few listens I was like this is ok but after a bit I just really came to appreciate it. I’m not putting J Cole’s latest that high but I had a similar reaction there.

“A rich man’s song that gets sung for a summer
Out the lungs of a stunner
But life turns the station and a hustler to a hummer”

How many quotables are in this masterpiece brehs?

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

This album being slept on proves hip hop is no longer a Black genre

nikkaz lost

In the 90's this would have got hip hop quotables and been spoken on by the gatekeepers so it got to the ears of the people

Why is this in tlr?
