Finally understanding a Lupe lyric...3 years later...

[An ashy lil fap hand]

I done listened to "Blur My Hands" a million times and I never realized how hilarious that chorus was.

shyt is long way to go to say "fukk me? well, fukk you, too!". chorus might be the longest middle finger analogy in all of hiphop.

im still disappointed at myself that i didn't get it, even with a title like Blur my hands, tho

 

[It is a mystery]

nah, he's just saying you're #1 and he's a fan

And the following song is probably the nicest diss record to a label/the industry ever created

And this is what is wrong with Lupe's music. He tries to hard to be lyrically efficient.

I really can't wrap my head around what you're trying to say here.

Meaning he writes a lot of try hard bullshyt that most times is very unnecessary in regards to conveying his point......

........yet we talking hiphop..........

 

[Family Lives Matter]

This may be the dope music feeling. Something that you've listened to for years and you notice something new ​

Well that explains a lot.
People think Lupe Fiasco is a lyrical god, because they’re the kind of people who find classic literature opaque and incomprehensible.

“One’s only able to be entertained according to the limits of their intellect.”

Westerners also find lupe trash because his symbolism goes way over their heads. He's the rap version of the hieroglyphs or the fables in the bible. Suckers like you read the bible and think it's literal history and completely miss the underlying universal truths in the stories. You will never understand lupe because you are American and follow western uncultured society.
