That "Condo in Toronto" line on Dinosaurs is def a reference to the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, where the Raptors play

It just hit me this nikka was singing the Barney theme at the end LMAO. As a 90s baby I shoulda peeped that off first listen.

I actually prefer this kind of Lupe. He didn't go too far down a rabbit hole with the lyrics, he found a nice balance to where you can fully get the concepts and connect everything with just listening and catching it.

Some of his other shyt, you have to go pull up Google or an encyclopedia to get familiar with some references, which isn't always wavy, and I'm a huge fan as you all know.

There's much more to it than just the history of Dinosaurs. He's also tying it to the human race... like remember that once upon a time, Dinosaurs used to exist... and then they didn't. That song got layers to it.

Too many layers. The entire ep does.

I agree with this post. I think most of us became Lupe fans because of the reasons you stated

It really be depending on my mood. T&Y and DW are his best albums to me, but they are definitely times I would rather hear something in the style of The Cool or even this.

That's why he's the best. You name any style and I can find a song where he's done it, and done it WELL.

People till this day still don't know Lupe started off rapping about moving weight, pimping, bytches, hoes and shooting nikkas for nothing

He's done it all man.

Had lu came off strong from jump the song would be more appreciated

So I can see why some don't fw. Because those first few bars are kinda lousy
