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. :leostare:

He is breh. Been saying it since enemy of the state. Nobody touching dude. Dozens upon dozens of evidence. :blessed:

Don't know how he gonna top this T&Y tho :lupe:
You dont understand... for so long I could just be like "Pac is the GOAT" and it was never in jeopardy. I mean 3000 makes me feel like that sometimes, but I need more stuff. But Lu got so much material ranging from so many topics and POV's and the earliest shyt was on the level of the GOAT lyricists ever. The insight was on the same level as a Chuck D. But this Tetsuo & Youth is undeniable. I got some soul searching to do :wow:

wow, after reading up on the history of banjos and how they're made (rings ain't sounds they circles) I have a greater appreciation for Dots & Lines, I wish I was music savvy enough to explain it, but somebody here will do so in due time
-5 strings (and a line, and a line, and a line, and a line, and a line)
-the actual intro and outro banjo tune being played in the musical equivalent of sacred geometry
