Breh been sitting on that track for over 5 years

A classic finally seeing the light of day

 

[Cadillac]

I guess it's safe to say he’s top 5 lyrically if not the best of all time, he does shyt with words that shouldn't be humanly possible bruh

Lupe, Nas, Jay, Pun and Big L personally for me have all made me just shake my head in disbelief when it comes to that.

I guess other names in the convo are Em, Andre 3k and Kool G Rap amongst others with the ability to do that...

They're what you would call Aliens

Aliens with lyrics is what I call them.

When u think of it each category(Flow, Lyrics, cadence) has aliens in it

 

[OJ Simpsom]

Jah

Lupe Fiasco Delivers 'Drogas Wave' Album a Week Early

“Drogas Wave is based on a story about a group of slaves that jumped off of a slave ship transporting them from Africa,” Lupe said about the project. “The slaves did not drown, and instead somehow managed to live under the sea. They spent the rest of their underwater existence sinking slave ships. ‘Drogas’ is the Spanish word for drugs. I made it an acronym which stands for ‘Don’t Ruin Us God Said.’”
