I wasn't ready for Schemes, it really caught me off guard.

Like I was listening to some seriously African sounding grown ups tryin to sound like kids asking lupe for a bedtime story
and then........

You can use the phone like a new computer wand, That's an Ethernet Pun:banderas:

Possible double meaning?

I interpreted the line as "You can use the phone like a new computer won't, that's an Ethernet pun because dial up's all done."

Computers don't use phone lines anymore to connect to the internet...

I must say... the choice of that awesome beat and energy he chose to deliver on Schemes is 100% his forte
and his forte is EXACTLY what is missing in hip hop.
lupe is all around dope but Schemes was one of his most epics songs ever, please Lupe always spit on such energetic dope beats and it seems your vocal energy/enthusiasm displayed with your delivery naturally will come out.

Please make your next album's almost all songs hold these qualities!!!!!!

Im sorry to say this but displays like this here make it absolutely confounding how on EARTH someone like Drake could be as celebrated for NOT writing rhymes when you've got somebody like Lupe who drops shyt like this so effortlessly and yet it could take years to decipher all of the meanings and metaphors....

Yup. Mind boggling.

The tracklist is

"In (the) Valley Of Kings, Pyramid Schemes"

double entendre speaking on the current "kings" of hip-hop and the fraudulent soft-sand they built on?

:lupe:

The cover is blurry, does this mean when he actually gets focused he's gonna go for the crown?

:lupe:

I hope Lupe goes for it ... He's a way better heir to the throne than the current contenders when he's focused.

pharaoh height 2/30 = fahrenheit 1/15 if you say it fast enough :dwillhuh:
