This shyt Brehs

This shyt different brehs.

Them interludes

Body of Work

Prisoners

When that Winter interlude dropped and then Chopper came on

 

[Danie84]

Not only is Little Death one of the smoothest Hip-Hop song I've heard in recent, but the concept of the poultry we savior, dying a terrible death for our hearty consumption; maleficently brilliant

Prison 2.. i can just picture the inmates saying this to the guards

 

[42 Monks]

Adoration of the Magi

Why you ready to die? You just a baby
Why them tears up under your eyes? You just a baby
Keep your head up in the sky, you just a baby
Quit chasing money, never mind, you just a baby
Why you wanna be born again? You just a baby
Why you playing in the streets? You just a baby



okay - but then we go deeper

Jeezy used that Mural sample better

I felt the mural was a wayyyyyyyyyy harder beat reminded of this shyt how its just one of them beats you have to attack like a monster to do it justice

HOLY SHYT I LOVE HIM

 

[Ill-Mind]

I wanted to buy the physical to support, but I don't think Best Buy is selling this album

Must be one last "fukk You" from Atlantic to Lupe, I'll just purchase it off Amazon then

 

[The Ruler 09]

what the hell, if you think Nas better than Lupe alright, but he ain't absolutely shytting on Lupe like that. Lupe twice the lyricist

I think Nas is in a whole other league than Lupe as an artist, not even close, even as a lyricist I think Nas is better.

 

[The Ruler 09]

The music I fukk with have nothing to do with album being Wack.

Lol people are reaching hard. Lol whoever also said this thread is comical to read was telling the truth lol, people coming in saying I don't know what he's talking about or sounds wack on first listen but it's gonna be amazing lmao...

 

[Rigby.]

so are the singles he released the only bangers? i don't care for the super lyrical songs that you have to listen to and read they lyrics to even understand, it's not pleasing to the ears.

madonna
magi
deliver
mazinger
selassie

i was hoping the album was going to be full of songs like this

So you wanted simpler shyt? Even then, Madonna, Magi, and Deliver are not songs you can just take at face value. They sound very nice doing so, but you're not enjoying what Lupe tried to do if you just don't look it up.

ATLANTIC STILL NEGOTIATES WITH THIS nikka CHILLY EVEN THO HE BEHIND BARS

that's stupid because you can listen to the the track and hear that he's saying some real shyt

edit: nvm just saw your post saying you didn't like any of the songs

He is deliberately over complicating it to try and appear intelligent and complex, that doesn't make it good or the music good. Complex shyt is better when it's natural not feeling forced, the whole album lyrically feels extremely forced, like it's reactionary to something rather than natural music/writing. Like he's trying to prove a point, all he's gonna do with this is please the people who love puzzle raps, cool, but most people don't like that shyt.

You're just wrong :shrug:

I'm a Nas fan, but he hasn't done anything as artistic as Tetsuo and Youth (even the cover art was more artistic than anything than Nas has done)
The Cool (and even T&Y, even though it might be even with Illmatic) lyrically beats anything Nas has released
Lupe used more entendres on T&Y than Nas' whole career, Mural>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
