Lupe Fiasco - Ankh:Her

[Black Lightning]

May I die from a hand that is not black
Lie down my crown where Mike Brown dropped at
At the spot where he was unchained
To pour liquor on it and watch a King grow from the blood stains
Then hug him, I'm just here, I ain't here to judge him

Lupe hit a brotha in the chest with that.

I've been out of the loop this past week, what is DROGAS: WAVES?

The new name for real Drogas, supposedly dropping either April or early May. This is just a loosie, but there's the play on anchor here and it's implied one of the narrative's characters wakes up on the shore, so there's a water theme going on. If the content has remained unchanged, it should be a 25-track concept record relating the drug game (hence the trap rap on Drogas Light) to slave trade in a mythological context like The Cool.

Explain breh

Those people are against enlightening, insightful, unifying lyrics and are for the usual "kill, drugs, whores" bars instead. They want to benefit from the music but also control what the artist says and will fight against bars that charge dead minds(bars that open people's eyes).

A 'dead mind' needs to be charged like a battery and Lupe is aware that certain people are against that message being given. 'Red wine' could be slang for blood too, as in they benefit from the blood, sweat and tears of those making the music but want to fight against positive messages being spoken in songs.

So in turn: The benefits of red wine(hard work, blood, sweat, tears) drunken box(fight) thieves(those in charge) fighting bars to charge(wake up, enlighten, inspire, encourage) a dead mind(the people who need to hear the message the most).

At least that's how I see those bars.

I see you still need to do research to understand Lupe lyrics

Oh gawwwd. Lupe dropping a classic. fukk. And we still got skulls on the way. Two classics.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Dope as fukk, makes up for that frisbee he dropped last month

DROGASLight a solid 7/10 with a bunch of old throwaways, let my nikka Lupe live


Let the man diversify his catalog. I hate posts like this shyt, the nikka has given us countless lyrical puzzles over his career to decipher... he lightens up (pun intended) so he can have better music to perform at his shows and nikkas like you throwing shade like you don't understand what he's doing.


I'm not going for any Lupe slander from here on out.

I get what he's doing and I respect it. I just thought it was weak breh

He was trying to appeal to an audience that isn't even checking for him. I bet that album sold less than his other ones too. Maybe he still wanted to drop it for him, cool, doesn't mean I have to like it

My nikka... WASSUP!

Lupes pen game is at a powerlevel of over 9000

While everyone else is at yamcha level with the second best only being at only Raditz

The pop songs he put on at the end of the album are weak, but songs 1-9 and 14 aren't weak at all.
