Lupe Fiasco - DROGAS WAVE (Discussion Thread)

[NoHalfWay]

XO is fukking beautiful brehs.

Lupe’s flow transcended the 5th dimension

 

[AAKing23]

Oh my fukking goodness I'm up to Wav files and I'm already blown away


This nikka Lupe is top 10 dead or alive

 

[NoHalfWay]

“The sharpest dresser at the unheading of queens” Lupe breh wtf

Man...the synths and that futuristic sound. Track sound like it should be apart of trailer for a live action version of Akira.

 

[RAW_SPK]

This is the best production he’s ever rapped over for an album

 

[NoHalfWay]

Such a dope album, too bad it's sprinkled with quite a bit of trash inbetween. Double disk syndrome basically. Could've really stood up to T&Y if he kept it shorter:

My shortened tracklist:

1."Drogas"
2."Gold vs. The Right Things To Do"
3."WAV Files"
4."Down"
5."Haile Selassie"
6."Stronger"
7."Sun God Sam & The California Drug Deals"
8."Kingdom"
9."Stack That Cheese"
10."Cripple"
11."King Nas"
12."Quotations From Chairman Fred"
13."Happy Timbuck2 Day"
14."Mural Jr."s

^^That's an instant classic right there

My nikka omitted excellent songs like nikkas wasn’t gonna call you out

Those apocalyptic Lupe songs

Streets On Fire, TRON, and now XO


Grandiose enough to garner mainstream traction (if Lupe was still on a major with a machine behind him) but sacrifices no artistic integrity

Troi did an excellent hook

 

[T-K-G]

This is the best production he’s ever rapped over for an album

shyt sounds different from everything else out right now but still works for an elite lyricist

Bdot prolly headbutting a wall right now for never thinking of the diasporic gods angle



shyt is wild cuz i made a beat over Lupe's myth lecture he put on soundcloud way back earlier this year had no idea he was in that mindset for his album

Have any rappers in the game commented on the album yet?.....I feel like this shyt gonna put the whole industry on notice. Especially with the rappers who really take the art form seriously. This shyt gonna make everybody step their game up.

Not yet but i'm sure Mickey factz, ab soul, and Joe budden will. They talked about tetsuo snd youth when it dropped. shyt scarface and a handful of others talked about Mural so i'm sure when it drops officially some will.

FACTS

Only track that didn't grab me completely was XO and that's really because the 2nd part of the chorus is rather poppy for my taste.

Lupe was rapping his ass off though

No one has time for the tag-teaming that goes on in this section. Seriously. Another album The Booth sits and calls good when it really isn’t. Enjoy.

Just like you did for that Janelle Monae album?

Beat it chick
