With all the rave around Mural, how come nobody likes to discuss the fact that SLR 3 is lyrically superior? :jbhmm:

Failure>>>>both "Now I'm over the limp, watch how they mugs drop when they see my verbal's able" :wow:
Failure and Lupe the Killer got the classic stamp and are both 1a & 1b because they've stood the test of time and nobody has topped them since.

But the wordplay and themes on SLR 3 (Round of Applause) is pure mental fukkery :mindblown:

"They ain't from us (U.S.) but they claiming they Columbus
They raps come off flat cuz they ain't in circumference" :wow:


The circle/round/flat, see/sea/peers/piers puns are insane :scusthov:

How the hell did I not catch that until now? SMH...
Bruh, I just recently went back to this song and just started taking some of it in

How he ties in that Columbus bar and the circle/sphere/flat analogies with the sea theme and how the world was thought to be flat, slyly referring to inferior rappers as 1 dimensional :wow:

SLR 3 might be the epitome of his mind fukkery bars

Watch how people complain about Lupe being too complex on this album and then criticize this upcoming one for being too dumbed down. :lolbron:
