Lupe Fiasco - Pharaoh Height (Mixtape)

[Mr. Negative]

who is Smearcon

Second playthrough I was picturing

that shyt is so fukking crazy and cinematic though.

A thug from the block is pegged by some agency to do spy work

he gets caught and possibly tortured and is about to get hit with dat sodium penthathol needle

he gets free and jumps out the window of the high rise

lands in the pool and suddenly wakes up (with a broken arm from the fall) to an agency liaison asking if he liked his bath

he laughs maniacally because not only did he survive, but he's having the time of his life.

*THE CREDITS ROLL* and the beat makes the shyt sound so fukking hectic. it's a MASTERFUL track, brehs.

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

anybody else peep how he borrowed MF DOOM's flow on "Valleys"?

Like us, paradigm shifter, South Carolina shrine shine giver
But not enough dimes to be a crime line tipper
The difference between "nikka", and "******"

I peeped the same shyt
That first half is doom all over it

Even with the wit and jokes he dropped

The war of the worlds line

Do you like whole stories or just the highlights? barbarian luemperor

I feel Tetsuo & Youth truly showed his growth as an artist and especially as a lyricist. T&Y is galaxies beyond F&L.

It is lyrically but i still find F&L to be the better album. More songs there click with me and I can play it at any time. In have to be in a certain mood for T&Y.

He was already baby GOAT status on F&L and only got better

 

[hustlemania]

The little freestyle off the dome at the end was so effortless

this project is bananas.. he got anything else similar to this(besides F&L)..?

 

[NoHalfWay]

"Schemes" sort of reminds me of "Black Bond." It's less slick, but I forgot how good of a storyteller Lupe was.

Of course. He's of Nas' lineage

 

[Umi]

Yo peep this epiphany.

Halfway through valleys when that girl goes Pharaoh.. Pharaoh... Pharaoh........... PHARAOH.

Feels exactly like

A rhyming ape..A rhyming ape.. A rhyming ape..... A RHYMING APEEEEE




Can someone confirm

 

[Wiles]

Yup, Enemy of the State too

Can't believe it's been 10 years since the Fahrenheit tapes. LuEmperor still holding us down 2005 - 2015

 

[DosCadenaz]

Nobody can rap better than Lu

 

[ThisWorldAintRight]

Lupe is by far one of the greatest lyricists in hip hop, if not the greatest.



"Valleys"

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

This came just in time for fall, will probably be my soundtrack until winter

 

[Versa]

Valleys and Schemes getting the most props, but Pyramid is bananas too. That would be my #3. The whole tape is just so heavy and dope for such a short listen.

That intro bout to make many of us cop Metal Gear Solid 5

this project is bananas.. he got anything else similar to this(besides F&L)..?

Hmmmm....Enemy of the State and Revenge of the Nerds you will like.

He already beat the game fam he tweeted about playing on the 21 of August

Nah man. He said he played it for 8 hours. That game is like 60 hours long he ain't beat that shyt
