Chicago has 2 "duos" from two different generations that I considered to be some of the realest people of their generation at one point that slowly transformed into the corniest people of their generation. Kanye/Lupe and Chance/Noname, :russell:

Listened to the full 2 hour stream yesterday and really started to wonder why Lupe and some others like Royce weren’t showing their personalities more early on. I’m definitely tired of every rapper announcing they have a podcast now days but Lupe definitely needs one. It’s rare that I’ll listen to one person talk for that long and not lose interest in what’s being said.

Idk about Rarris but I have my Rolex for 14 years, daily wear, and works perfectly.

Besides that I agree with him on everything.
Like I said. I know people who have had theirs for over 30 years. I don’t like the notion that something that requires proper care is “trash”. fukk was this nikka doin with his watch? Rolex without care last on average 15 to 20 years. If u take care of it it will last for as long as u let it.

The only care I take is giving it to the jeweler to clean the outside. If you don't fcuk with them - like adding diamonds and whatnot, trust the jeweler that cleans it that he will not replace parts with fake ones, Rollies and Pateks are built to last a lifetime.

EXACTLY. If u doing some corny rapper shyt to ya Rolex. U get what u put in. I never understood nikkas adding all that corny shyt to a Rolex when the Rolex itself is worth a crazy amount and putting all that shyt on it DEPRECIATES the value. On top of that. Half the time these nikkas ain’t getting they pieces from authorized resellers either.

Why they do that? Because buying it straight from Rolex, with REAL diamonds is too expensive and not tacky enough

What he said overall made total sense, I agree completely with his point...but that specific little prostitute talking point was just off. The watches and Ferraris shyt was on point, he coulda left the prostitute part out, lol
You on the coli
Lupe travelled the world in different circles

The prostitutes you seen aint the same he seen

He’s talking about the quality of the woman in general tho. Not the looks. Lupe said u can pay $30 to an Eastern European prostitute and have her doing this and that. That’s not top flight or quality. Regardless of how she looks.

I genuinely like that he's calls it out but still struggles with it.
Lupe has said some :mjpls:things the last few times I've heard from him. So it's nice to see he still on game.

Completely unrelated, but this chick I used to work with years ago used to playfully call me Lupe Fiasco cuz she said I looked like him. At the time I figured she was just talking shyt cuz we both were knotty heads but there was admittedly some resemblance. But watching that rant was like looking in a mirror if I chopped off my locks and wore glasses :ohhh:

What good is a car that can go 200mph if it breaks down every 100 miles? Lupe fiasco told no lies.
they arent your daily driver...if youre not a car guy, youre not a car guy (im not)...
...no need to try and understand it.

People that go on and on about materialism like to ignore the fact that no matter what, people will find a way to show they are better than others.

So what somebody likes nice things.

I wear old ass New Balances...but im not judging people that wear Jordans or Gucci shoes.
