I'm getting close to the same vibes as when I first popped mbdtf in....like breh it took me a half and hour to get past the first track. IN high school when every nikka was a wayne stan I was that one breh who like "nah lupe the illest right now..." and would get laughed at lol. This right here is like a revival to real rap and makes it seem like atlantic might have just had his hands tied tbh cuz this shyt is unadulterated insanity. Mural literally shyts on the output of every rapper from a lyrical standpoint in recent memory. That track is worth like 5 points itself :mjlol: only track I wasn't stoked about initially is dots but its still good. the winter section is crazy :wow: .

I'm actually copping on tuesday and probably will get a few more copies to give to my lil bros in the future. He needs the support for dropping this and I hope if it doesn't sell crazy at least it gets aknowledged for how far ahead of the game is. I see pubs giving shyt like rich gang tour 1 8s and shyt (which I love that tape dont' get me wrong) but if you judging shyt on taht barometer this is 12/10 easy.

Lupe the Killer :blessed:
He was hittin that Zero infinite on that mural beat :wow:

Cough? Based on the ninja references I'm guessing he's talking about Hayate Gekko from Naruto. He was always coughing. I googled "ninjas congo" and there was a militia called The Ninjas in the Congo about two decades ago:leon:



It's Ken Oh, a boss from the video game Shinobi:

Fixed* Alyssa Milano had a roll in 'Who's The Boss' :takedat:
as i perform a Nerd Storm
i prefer my pictures in word form
bury the hatchet (hatch it) like how a bird born

as i paint cold pictures like:
kool-aid face and condensation having conversation wit flavorful combinations
slave to my concentration
so that's OJ the Juiceman meets OJ wit 2 hands
and 2 gloves that's too snug to judge who was who drew blood aaaaaand

lupe look at all these toucans :damn:

in a cemetery full of tomahawks
givin middle fingers to the pigeons doin somersaults
road runners don't fall off cliffs they run across
anomalies by the colony flukes by the reservoir
while the pursuers end up as poofs on the desert floor
levitating youths who know the truth of where the fountain lies
buckaroo roof painting tunnels onto the mountain sides
a thousand parts a pound of hard a ounce of eyes
announce an ounce of doubt and mouth pronounces out a count of lies
chocola counts by the count of 5
refrigerator roof full of animals and monsters
incinerator shoots in the manual for Contra
assorted memories from my childhood
absorbin energy from the wild wood
electronic combat konami signed contract
chinese chalk killin cucuraches on contact (cucuracha is spanish for cockroach)





just MEAN:scust:

Minor note/Random thought: This was probably said on here when the song first same out, but I always have to fight the urge to not repeat "Deliver" whenever I hear it. People always talk about how this rapper is "real" or that rapper is "real." Nah, bullshyt, THIS is a real ass song. I could probably take this to my office, play it and have zero people truly understand the connotations of this song.

shyt, I'm probably the only person in the office that this kind of thing has EVER happened to. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that, but I'm glad that Lupe made a song about it. Much more effective than any number of straightforward "my hood is so brutal/gutter/etc." songs could be.
Yup, my aunt used to have a Domino's franchise in the hood in Michigan. My cousin would deliver pizza out there strapped... they don't deliver to the town where my wife grew up either, so she connected with that shyt right away.

Crazy thing is, that I just read a story about how Papa John's is standing by one of their employee's for shooting and killing a dude for trying to rob here during a delivery... that shyt just happened this week

:wow:

When it comes to creatively conveying a message... who better than Lupe Fiasco brehs?
