After all, Lu is probably coming back for seconds with S1.I can respect that POV. We're all chemicals, vitamins and minerals after all
If his beats on T&Y are an indication, Black Vietnam has the potential to be up there. I doubt we'll get Skulls this year.

listened to this album backwards first...then forwards. then bumped my favorites, bumped the ones i liked alittle less. and i've got to say this is one of my favorite rap albums i have ever heard bruh. Lupe held it down for Chicago, i like drill, but this was truly the album Chicago needed bruh. Kendrick and Lupe just fukkin did it this year brehs. They just fukkin did it

i love albums that are like puzzles. you just go back and try to analyze and find easter eggs inbetween the lines.
and of course relistening to shyt because it just straight up bumps 
. This is one of those albums that just gives itself a clear setting in the listeners head, I love that shyt.

Ay, on Prisoners 2 first verse is he saying... "Sold so much soul" Or is he saying "Sold so much soap"???
It sounds like soul to me, but the lyrics online saying soap
I'm asking cause I feel like some of the bars in this song also is him alluding to being a prisoner to a deal/label/music industry.
"That's how it is in a police state... when your life is just a number and release date"
"Sold so much soul... there's no more soul on the shelves"
Am I the only one that caught that?
Then also on the Prisoner 2 it's like an inmate speaking not only about the COs, but also to rappers who have negative messages in their music.

This is why you can't take rapgenius as true for 100% of shyt... especially for Lupe... there are a lot of words that are wrong from the verse that I'm talking about on that verse IMO...
They sell they souls
They sell their selves
They ain't twelve, they old
nikkas old as hell
Old as jail, old as cells
Sold so much salt/soul?, ain't no more salt/soul? on the shelves
You a prisoner too, you living here too
You just like us, til' your shift get through
You corrupt like us, you help shyt get through
You should be in cuffs like us, you should get strike 2
You should get like life, you should get like woo!
You should get that twice! You should get refused
For yo parole, that's no parole, and no control
Over your own soul, so control, your own remote control, that your folks can hold
He's def getting at artists that glorify violence with this verse
That random, you should get like "woo" line and the "you help shyt get through" meaning the negativity spewed throughout the media/music
