Listening to Tetsuo and Youth, Lupe basically incinerates the haters and his artistic peers who said something negative about him.
I bet you your rap gods are listening to in private and saying "I can't even turn into this lane"
and there are a lot of rappers who are listening to this lp, realizing how they have been duped,trapped & tormented into performing the level of bullshyt they have become numbed to.
In short, Lupe won…he got off a label, he didn't get his last project on Atlantic shelved & he gets to enter the next phase of his art. Very few artists are able to see that kind of LIGHT & relief..
Meanwhile haters, your FAVORITE artist is doing music he doesn't want to do, that's the DIFFERENCE. I can tell you this, a LOT of artists are envious L.F. can create this and have it released. And just know that artist is thinking "Do I want to be in this space…forever" seeing this and witnessing a artist leaving a place he knows that is toxic to his LIFE.
Maybe the theory of being different and thinking differently is the path to being a better artist? Because it is definitely NOT… doing exactly what everyone is doing & raising your gun at the camera & projecting EXACTLY what the investors want you to do. Because when you do that? You continue the cycle of what is acceptable & permissible.
Lupe basically gunned down every last one of his haters on "Chopper" he can STAND w/ any of your favs.
And just think he is likely just getting warmed up as an artist.
