Lupe Fiasco - DROGAS Light (Discussion Thread)

embarrassing

I see what he's going for on this one. Not really my cup of tea but I can see people loving this. Too many trap beats with no direction off first listen. I'm more of a Tetsuo & Youth fan of Lupe. I like the intricate thought provoking deep shyt u have to break down. That's the side of Lupe's music I'd check for. But I'm not hating on this. It's just not my thing.

This album is tailor made for the Lupe critic that has said...

"Lupe can't make a song without being too complex"

"Lupe is just a rappity rap rapper"

"Lupe can't make mainstream records"

"Lupe isn't capable of having fun anymore"



Real Lupe fans knew he could easily make these kind of records but just didn't choose to do them in abundance.

He's consistently dropped conscious creative straight forward records his entire career. From He Say She Say, to HipHop Saved My Life, to bytch Bad, Hood Now, to Next 2 It, to Deliver, to what we have here. Even when he scales the lyricism back the message still connects with the listener.

I just wish he would kill Pop Lupe. Easily the worst songs in his catalog are his pop ones.

This nikka said it perfectly

I love that he was messing around and we still got something solid Dopamine lit, Tranquillo and NGL jesus...

Also ain't no way you can tell me If Drake or somebody else did promise with quavo on that hook that shyt wouldn't chart and probably catch a grammy nom.

The album is good so far......not as good as Tetsuo & Youth was IMO......I am disappointed to see no DJ Dahi beats. He was the standout producer on T&Y, and they had great chemistry.

GOAT of Conscious Trap.....

I've been waiting for him to just blank out on an album of trap beats.....

Edit: I see it's not just trap...its some experimentation......its all good.

"Made in the USA"
"Jump"
"High"
"Kill" with Victoria Monet

"More Than My Heart", he even flexed a fiyah sentimental Mother's Day track...
