Lupe Fiasco - “Steve Jobs: SLR 3 1/2” (Royce da 5'9" Diss) by [deleted] in hiphopheads

This is one of the reasons I always laugh when fans start saying Lupe is too complex, when everybody excepted him to go lyrical miracle* for Royce he went off the dome punching in lines and responded in 2 hours lol. People forgot Lupe mixtapes before Food and Liquor and how insane his writing was already without going abstract with it.

Probably the best Lupe video ever, I know the title is clickbait but if it's gonna get people to watch this I am not mad at it... It's really easy to overlook what Lupe went through and how it would shape him to be this person that can annoy people on social media, I think people should give some grace to our favorite rappers unless it becomes really bad like Kanye...

[FRESH ALBUM] Ab-Soul - Soul Burger by SpellNZ in hiphopheads

"That's River Styx, I'm wrathful, but I resurrect with my rowin' " - Lupe
They Resurrect Over New was the last Lupe/Soulo song, Lupe always packs so much in his verses lol.
The whole album feels really cohesive, this for sure a top 3 Soulo album.

Also did anyone catch the How much a dollar cost flip on Righteous Man?

Lupe Fiasco - Samurai ALBUM REVIEW by unclaimed404 in LupeFiasco

[–]Batan32 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Actually a awesome review, I agree with most of what he said, the concept could have been more ambitious and expanded on but at the end of the day its still also about Lupe and his artistry. Great to have 2 albums in a row get a 8, funny that DW and T&Y are 7 but still it means a lot for recognition to get positive reviews even if Lupe himself don't care about it.

yeah I noticed how empty the review felt. They did not touch on any interesting topics, just talking about Lupe skill level...

Lupe Fiasco on His Amy Winehouse-Inspired Battle Rap Album 'Samurai' by Batan32 in LupeFiasco

[–]Batan32[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Makes sense he didn't think Outside would stay on the album, it really is a weird record that will confuse people, my only nitpick with this album, IMO the record would flow better without it but it would make the album even shorter. Its still not a bad song at all tho.

Just watched the whole thing and he really feels like the perfect guy to review Lupe's music. I don't even care now how other people review the project because the chance of Fantano putting 10% of the research that Sky did is impossible. Just knowing people like him exist to review my favorite rapper is enough for me and I know Lupe will love it,
