Lupe Fiasco – Pound Of Flesh (Paris, Tokyo 2)

[Versa]

Youre a contrarian troll stan tho, so your opinion doesnt matter

Its not about the music, its about jumping behind an underdog and having a cause. Thats why u cant just enjoy Drake's music and reign at the moment.... you have to take an emotional stake in "addressing his haters"

You were prob the same way w/Lupe then, as you are w/Drake now. Going hard to be fickle, jumping pickle to pickle... these nikkas dont know you name nor throw you a nickel. Napoleon was a strange individual who took shyt too personal and felt belittled. Court of public opinion you beggin for acquittal but aint even on trial. A hip hop Britney fan nikka gone wild. You screamin a nikka hot but his shyt is all mild. Its grown folks talkin here please be gone child....

No homo but you came to mind with that Martin/Gina reference on the song because of your username

Lyrically I agree Lu's verse is better. But it's so much more than that to rap. You can't honestly say Lu "killed Drake on his own shyt" with that garbage ass delivery, right?

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

Lupe stays dropping rapgenius classics that put me to straight to sleep. And he has the nerve to call it a Paris Tokyo sequel

Don't know why I still stan this dude

SMH...you can actually hear jay spitting in the background...couldn't even get a proper instrumental Lu?

That's all well and good, now explain to me what does having a conversation with the listener mean?

???

Rappers don't talk to their listeners in songs now

Telling a story/being relate-able etc. That's all Drake can ever do because he doesn't have it in him to be all that nasty with the pen. I agree it's struggle props and a reach to discredit Lupe destroying the beat.

Yes, because his delivery wasn't garbage. Lyrics, flow, delivery were all on point. The only time Lupe's delivery let me down this year is on Peace of Paper/Cup of Jayzus. Lyrically overwhelming, but lacked energy.
