I swear,
I will never understand the debate.
Lupe is head and shoulders above anybody.
I have this convo all the time. Lupe is Nas, Jay, Ras Kass, Kendrick, Canibus, all wrapped in one emcee.
His sh*t is like the hieroglyphics. We are still going to be deciphering his lyrics and albums decades from now. Every time I listen to a Lupe track I catch a new bar.
This album hits different today

This is an album of resurrection and rebirth. When I first heard it I wondered why the slave concept stopped after like track 7. The more I've sat with the music, I realized that the rest of the project, and therefore the project as a whole, is rooted in one of many motifs. One of them I'll highlight is the honoring of people and songs of the past while having them be figuratively reborn again
Tracks 1-7 - resurrection of trans-atlanic slaves that jumped ship into the oceans
Haile Selassie - tribute to Selassie
Alan and Jonylah Forever - tribute to Alan Kurdi and Jonylah Watkins where they're put in an alternate reality for a second life
Imagine - revival of "young Lupe"
Stack That Cheese - spiritual successor of Hip Hop Saved My Life
Happy Timbuck2 Day - tribute to deceased DJ Timbuktu
Quotations From Chairman Fred - tribute to Fred Hampton
Mural Jr. - sequel to Mural (mural reborn
)
There's so much more to this album but I said all this to say it does have a consistent concept and theme if not multiple

he's good at it but the concept itself stopped wowing me cuz i already know he's capable of doing it, he unlocked the final form of that shyt on Tetsuo & Youth imo

sounds like this album wasn’t good to you. I think overall it’s slightly better than T&Y
