at the Spring interlude (whether you consider it the end of the album or the if you listen in reverse) you can hear the kids chanting Michael.
I could only hear Michael being said twice. But I would've never picked that up thanks breh

Tried listening to a few songs off this album...shyt'z just not my cup of tea...i can see the appeal tho ...his lyrical creativity & technical ability are top notch...his cadence, flow, delivery & rap voice is ASS...that and the fact his content lacks illustrative coherency makes his music largely unlistenable to me...and no, his lyrics are not "going over my head"...he just does a poor job of communicating his points effectively...and leaves the listener with a whole lotta guess work...alotta his lyrics are just straight up random, trite and don't mean shyt...but are being masked as "highly complex"...reading the annotations to the lyrics of mural on rapgenius is just...hilarious...but still...it takes an exceptional amount of skill & creativity to write like he does... but being a great writer doesn't automatically mean your capable of making quality, entertaining music.

breh you just saying outlandish shyt...people have came in here and said they weren't feeling it for w/e reason. you have to go above and beyond and say nikkas like aesop rock, slug, and krino are better than lupe :dead: stop it

K-Rino is massively better than Lupe, Slug is better too, Aseop probably isn't, I didn't say he was either, I said his song Daylight is better lyrically than anything on the album, it is hugely highly complex but it is much more substantive, and rhymes better than the just a baby shyt too.

As a fan of all 3, even I have to agree here

Though quiet as kept, prime Aesop Rock is the closest one :iseeu:

Music for Earthworms to Labor Days was lyrically :wow: if you paid attention

man aint nobody got time for all that shyt, just give me a song breh. you his biggest fan put me on.

If you ain't got the time then there's no point, it needs to be broke down and explained with some detail, and examples, you don't show just 1 song to show why someone is a better lyricist anywhere, especially when Lupe has some good lyrical shyt too, it is going to be numerous examples of how he is a much better lyricist in every (or at least nearly) single area. You can ignore the thread or enter, your choice, when I have a moment will set it off and then anyone who wants to debate in there can do.
