MAaaaaaaan.....imma get as many "fukk this nikka"s in while i can. Tell me you don't see how self serving his approach is.

Nah...he's just being true to himself, a rapper that loves wordplay/metaphors on a very deeper level than most.

Have you ever heard failure?

Not sure. I have his first 2 albums and think they both are marginal.

It's definitely becoming a bit more clear on repeated listening.

I believe Body of Work is about drugs and he's using the slang "white girl" as a metaphor for most of the song.....I think.

Indeed.... smuggling drugs in someones body is what im gettin...hence the title

TRON is absolutely intoxicating. WOW. I'll snort something right now. Kidding. Metaphorically. Let Lupe bury some of his friend's Heroine in the cabrini green 'jects and i'll time travel back, land at Art Barr's pad, have him plug me into Joe with the stuff.

Mural

They on their hunt, kinda salty that I'm going hard
First part of a party, that I throw in parts
One minute you playing pool, the next minute you throwing darts
But that's how you do with a party that you throw in bars




I run the Gambit like I'm throwing cards
From popular mechanics to overdosing hearts
Paint cold pictures like Nova Scotia landscapes
Nerd gang, make mandelbrot sets when we handshake

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

The Mandelbrot set is the set of complex numbers 'c' for which the sequence ( c , c² + c , (c²+c)² + c , ((c²+c)²+c)² + c , (((c²+c)²+c)²+c)² + c , ...) does not approach infinity.




A word game back up plan that can dam lakes
Back up, the word play aint playin at the man's states
Mean I can still be the man if the dam breaks
And when the man brakes I'm reflectious, what they can't face
My peer'll still treat the mirror, like it's a fan base

I was not ready for TRON.

 

[FloorGeneral]

Just finishing up my 2nd listen, and album is flames, and should get better once we start to actually digest it. I see even Mel is in here liking it on first listen. That's quite a feat. Lupe might have one here.

Chopper goes HARD.

 

[Rigby.]

I'm done

"Critics say I fell off, I acknowledge a slip
But what do you call falling from space into a bottomless pit?"

@Big Mel I see where you're coming from though breh

And not rain like, Rainman or rain like, rain dance
Or rain like a slight chance of rain when it's raining
Or rein like deer slaves to Santa Claus sleigh man
But reign like Queens that reign over made man
And not Queen like Queen killer
Rhapsody Bohem' Queen
But Queen like white glove, wave hand
And not wave hand like it's a heat wave
So you make a fan by waving your hand
I'm talking wave like you saying "hey", man
And not hay for horses or hoarses like you almost voiceless
You gotta treat your vocal chords like it's a fortress
And treat every single one of your words like reinforcements
And especially when you're recording
Cause that's the portion that's important
When I was reporting that I was poor

this part here was unnecessary
