No Scratches is the only record I find myself skipping. Only gripe is the beat being a bit cheesy. Like what hes talking about on the record.

Low and behold, Dots & Lines is one of my favorites. Love the vibe and meanings

"Look these wild nikkas in they eyes
In the video it's some nikkas that done died
Looked the ghosts in the face and I cried
No Wu-Tang, just Lu gang when I ride"

For those who didn't know this actually happened. Lupe broke down into tears looking at old videos of him with friends that died.



Just now picked up the Ghostface/Wu-Tang line. Was slow on that one.

That's the first thing I thought of when I heard that line.

You know an album bout to be on some different ish when the first line is "we're all chemicals, vitamins, and minerals" brehs.

Haven't listened to one song isolated yet and still haven't skipped one. Been letting it ride all the way through. It's such an enjoyable experience from start to finish that I never think to skip around. I did rewind part 2 of prisoner and tron on one play through though.

No Scratches brings me right back to a really bad relationship I had so I connect with that one a lot. Still can't nail my least favorite track yet. Don't know if I ever will. Can't even pick my favorite.

I doubt he did it as much justice though. I'm hearing Jeezy used it before too (not sure, cuz I don't listen to no fukking Jeezy). And same thing there, if he did.
triple c's/ross sampled it first about 5 years ago "diamonds and maybachs"

most recent other than lupe was the jeezy/game "beautiful" track

the spitta one was forgettable

Off top the artists that have used the Mural sample:

Curren$y - Mary :smoker:
Wiz - Visions
Jeezy - Beautiful (I think)
MF Doom - One Beer

There's probably others but its such a dope sample almost everyone does it justice.
