Lupe Fiasco - Pharaoh Height (Mixtape)

[Mr. Negative]

Brehs personally the intro and schemes has been stuck in my head!

I was brought here a slllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee

But I leave here a Pharaoh

yeah, the intro's been stuck in my head since I first heard it. The beat, the MGSV talking, the thing with Language and how it underlies into world society (and music/lyrics) and how the lyrics are so..... personal if you were born nowhere with nothing and surrounded on all sides and wanted nothing more than to make better.

those metal gear references. Fight without a weapon. Fall from out of Heaven (Outer Heaven) Be my own "Boss". etc.... .

It's all a very apt mix of metaphors.

Lazy

Someone actually gave me a 320 kbps link to the mix tape but it expired and the album was on a mac book I don't have any more

I had to redownload all that

 

[Dre Smith]

[Dre Smith]

Wow that Toro tho

 

[Mr. Negative]

I never see anyone talking about how deadly the "Hyannis Port localists" line is. Folks prolly think it's some exotic locale.

it's really a reference to

 

[NoHalfWay]

It wasn't a mixtape... but if you wanna add to it you can add "next to it", "pu$$y", "Thot 97", "snitches", "snitches 2", "old school love" and I'm sure there's some other tracks n shyt you could throw on there

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Nah it's hype, conscious rap is heavily overrated these days

It's been like that for as long as I can remember. I still can't believe grown men can't see through all this smart dumb shyt - Lupe being the definition.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

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



"Valleys"

Fixed.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

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....

And at the end of such a futile exercise, he still ain't saying shyt.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Lupe is on the list of once in a lifetime talents. Real talk.

 

[Medulla Oblongata]

I'm not too big on Lupe, but this mixtape went hard

 

[Silver Surfer]

Lupe been wack since his kick,push days
