Lupe Fiasco - DROGAS WAVE (Discussion Thread)

[BangBike]

Black king, poetic
with Nat King's aesthetic..

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

My mind's like 5 mics, rhyme tight, fukk it...

 

[Prolific_1011]

Album of the Year. Lupe's best album.

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

Don't bust in while I'm sleep
Nightmares becoming dreams
Samurais rarely die from another sword
This is 1985 meets the hover board



Mural JR is like a fukking movie score brehs

 

[LEEeveryday]

King Nas & Quotations from Chairman Fred are the stand outs to me.

Really good body of work, it deserves another listen. This shyt really heats up towards the end of the project.

Ye - 6.0 / 10

Kamakaze - 7.5 / 10

AstroWorld - 8.7 / 10

Swimming - 7.0 / 10

Queen - 4.5 / 10

Scorpion - 8.0 /10

Daytona - 8.5 / 10

Streams of Thought Vol 1 - 8.8 / 10

Kids See Ghosts - 8.3 / 10

Nasir - 7.0 / 10

Life's a Trip - 4.0 / 10

Drogas Wave - 9.0 / 10

Thing is, this album is not gonna see any waves on national radio, shyt will prolly get dapped via NPR before anything

This is a fire classic, higher level Hip Hop

Style and Substance in a surprising ride

WE OUTCHEA'

I understand someone not liking this album. Even hating it. But it’s hard to understand someone not respecting it.

 

[Chip Skylark]

Fellas, if yall don’t leave breh alone..

Shouldn’t have provoked him, @Billy Ocean listem to the album when you get a chance

It has more of a “The Cool” vibe than T&Y

Man yall still entertaining that dude? I block that dude months ago. For him not to like Lupe he always has the most posts in every lupe thread

From the seven seas to the seven heavens on his seventh album, you can strip this down to the basics and it still speaks volumes.
“Tryna get triple sevens on my slot machine”
You did it, Lu, happy for you.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Wish Lu and Gemstones would link back up, they made classics
