As much skill Lupe possesses he Lost the skill to make what he raps about matter. He had that with his 1st 2 albums idk what happened since.

His music sound like adults talking on Charlie Brown

You fly by night fans turned on him with Lasers is what happened

Lupe still continues to put out music that is meaningful to him no matter how the general public feels about it

I can say that about any rapper breh

Lupe made me care about skateboarding. I don’t give a fukk about skateboarding but he made me wish I did. Kick Push is in my top 100 of all time. A subject I would think I would never like.

Now all I hear is blah blah. I’m not gonna pretend to be a genius. I don’t know what the fukk he talking about.

Like wtf is a Lamborghini Angel (love the song)

Or Mural (loved the song)

I legit for a brief second thought he would be better than my GOAT. But he not even close. Biggest disappointment to “me” in rap history

Cause you are a fly by night fan, getting into skateboarding because Lupe made a song about it. :childplease: and I like the shyt but still give no fukks about skateboarding

And that 'blah blah' was all you heard in the first place soon as the general public turned on him with Lasers you was out

An Angel in a Lamborghni

He's Painting a picture with his lyrcism

Your GOAT could never make something like this

Real issues for real people

His lyricism got too abstract and complicated to the point where it feels he is only making music for a certain niche of fans directly. Waves Files, Alan Forever, stack that cheese and Jonylah Forever feels like he can still rap dope without being so overly complex. I still enjoy the music and raps and don’t mind looking up the lyrics to try and figure things out but I prefer 2005-2008 Lupe type lyricism.

That opinion is such a cop out.

Lupe was always complex. Its the reason why “dumb it down” exists.

And if you want simple Lupe listen to Lasers or drogas light.

The lyricism Fahrenheit mixtapes, food & liquor and the cool is way more digestible than the lyricism on T&Y and Drogas Wave.
The mixtapes with failure on it? Lol.

Lupe was always complex.’only difference now is that Lupe is in a saturated market where ignorance, mumble rap, and stupidity is more endorsed in music. Ie cardi b and migos.

People dont have patience for lupe’s complex rhymes anymore because our patience and attention spans are ruined.

For example These days if you dont drop an album every 4 months you “fell off”.
