Lupe Fiasco - Tetsuo & Youth (Discussion thread)*Stream*

[The Ruler 09]

Why did you post a second review of the album? Don't recall anyone asking for that

No-one has to ask for anything, this isn't a question and answer thread, I posted a second opinion of the album after listening to it in full quality, previously I streamed it, I could hear the musical and mixing sound better the second time which helps to give a more accurate assessment of the album.

Nas is great though breh. He's not Lupe but he doesn't have to be. It's okay to be Larry Bird not everyone has it in them to be Jordan with the pen game.

Nothin wrong wit bein Tom Chambers... but these stans is what I am talkin bout. They really collectively as a group are dumb. Gotta just shyt on em and KIM.

 

[The Ruler 09]

You're telling me to accept the opinion of my opinion from a person who can't even have an opinion having not heard the album and therefore is just being a hating hoe.

Think about that for a second. Hopefully I didn't get too layered and Tetsuo & Youthish for you to comprehend.

He didn't say the album was wack, what are you talking about?

And you were exactly the same about people who have heard the album, you can't say I haven't heard the album as I spoke about it in depth...

Got you breh. I respect you taking the time to transcribe your thoughts on the album a second time knowing full well that no one gives a fukk.

Lol, actually it was in reply to someone in another thread, I just thought it fitted more in here. And infact someone asked me my opinion on the album today, so I just copied them what I said. They thought it was trash by the way.

I hope Kendrick is ready.

They gone be doing him like this REAL soon.

I already see it happening

 

[g-ice]

Good thing I'm a fan of both Lupe and Nas so I can just sit and watch this back and forth (thread) doing the and at the same time.

Lol I'm just gonna ignore them from now on like I planned to before dudes starting tagging me looking for attention. I'm more interested in breaking down some of these songs and lines. Some of these records tell multiple stories at the exact same time. Incredible stuff.

I'd say my top 5 right now are mural, blur my hands, prisoner 1 and especially 2, adoration of the magi and tron. Every record is ace though man. I could easily put any of the other tracks in my top 5. My least favorite is chopper and even that knocked. All them C, D and E list rappers got busy.

 

[intilectual recipricol]

Aight... My favorite tracks in order:

1. Mural
2. Chopper
3. Adoration
4. No Scratches
5. Prisoner 1 & 2
6. TRON
7. Little Death
8. Deliver
9. Body of Work
10. Madonna
11. Blur My Hands
12. Dots & Lines

but its been changing...

Tetsuo & Youth = MJ's 2nd threepeat.

Got his third ring and it was like okay, he's the GOAT, we've never seen someone do what he did at that level. Then struggled, albeit with baseball, but eventually came back to what he knows best and proceeded to leave no fukkin doubt that he was THAT dude to where people look at you dumb if you suggest there's others on his level. That's what this album is for Lupe.

Spoiler

... and Mural is Lupe pushing off the Bryon Russell's of the rap game at the end of Game 6 and leaving his hand up on the follow through as the ball goes through the net

i mentioned this earlier.. saying lupe back like mj in 96

Y'all care way too much about what other ppl think about an artist that doesn't even know you. Y'all all want each other to like the same shyt, it's never gonna happen. Y'all take this shyt way too seriously it's only entertainment.

How didn't this make the album?!


Sinister times, pacific the rims so I live in the mind
Sit in the head of the shyt I design
Position it bent so I sit in recline
But never I sleep

So not the same like a Jet and a Jeep
One in the clouds, the other up under him running around
Unlike the one never touching the ground
Some like the one cause it doesn't come down
Unlike the oven that's under the town
Lake of the fire, they jump in and drown
Wait till they die it's for something profound

Metaphors for God and the Devil


Head is so dreaded for clutching the crown
And keeping it steady when jumping around

I rarely do this but I'm about to throw all these leftovers on my ipod

i'm gonna have to deduct half a mic on this album for that song

and this one not making the cut

Tron

Ab-soular blacked out

"Lupe say that I'm a stoner, I say that I'm much bolder "

Also shout outs to the dig dug reference. That was my game as a kid.

 

[Illmagic]

Am I the only one that can't get down with Adoration of the Magi? Maybe it needs to grow on me.. the third verse is nuts though
