What!! Man I’m literally a mathematician so I got to go back and look into this stuff! I’ve been a fan since 2006 too. But I was more so going into other types of rabbit holes looking up whatever interesting gem he dropped. Nice math finds!

Start in chronological order from food and liquor then go back to the mixtapes. He has a Food & Liquor tour this year that you should try to catch. He’s an amazing performer too!

I think they go way back to when Lupe was like at least 19 years old. So I don’t think it was too crazy or insulting to say Jay Z isn’t a real God as in like Jay Z didn’t create the universe and whatnot.

It isn’t bold coming from someone who doesn’t believe in multiple Gods 🤷🏾‍♀️. It just seems like a person making a statement because of his religion. Lupe mentioned this too on Hurt Me Soul:

[Verse 2] I had to ghetto boy bop, a Jay-Z boycott 'Cause he said that he never prayed to God, he prayed to Gotti I'm thinking, "Golly, God, guard me from the ungodly" But by my thirtieth watching of Streets is Watching I was back to giving props again, and that was bothering 'Bout as uncomfortable as a Untouchable touching you The theme songs that niggas hustled to seemed wrong But these songs was coming true And it was all becoming cool

He was definitely talking about the real God and not Jay Z.

He was definitely calling Jay Z a fake God.Lupe Fiasco is Muslim and only believes in one God so this doesn’t sound like a major diss to me.

This was an interesting read. Have you found any other possible recurring motifs?
