Lupe Fiasco - WAV Files (Lyrical Breakdown)

[SunZoo]

​

 

[Barney Rubble]

Lupe puts more effort into one song than most artists put into their entire albums.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

One of the greatest songs of all time

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

One of the greatest songs of all time

It’s so “new” in the pantheon of great tracks, but I think you’re right

 

[LevelUp]

 

[BK The Great]

Dope, this reminds me of the stuff he was rapping about on the BMF remix

 

[I'm Blackman]

Beautiful...absolutely beautiful song.

 

[Monsanto]

One of the most layered and meaningful songs I've ever heard. Naming the slave ships when I first heard it made me tear up.

So many of our people taken and there are even more ships to name.

Personification of the seas, stars and trees was beautiful.

One of the best albums ever.

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

Easily his greatest song. I think lupe can try too hard at times but this is a bonafide masterpiece. I prolly bumped this shyt over 500 times blown out of my mind. And this shyt took me to a different realm...not even bullshyttin. Lupe channeled something crazy with this one. shyt was deeper than just music.

 

[jilla82]

wow

I randomly came across this album a few months ago and was shocked I missed it

the shyt he puts in his tracks is wild

 

[Majestyx]

 

[Towlie]

Led a student trip to Ghana and used this as the theme song for the video. I listened to this song every day on the way to work envisioning the video. Like every day for 8 months straight

 

[Dolo]

Amazing song

 

[VegetaKakashi24]

I cut the song off the first time through when he began naming all the ships. shyt stirred up a very deep pain. Music like that isn’t made often. Props to Lupe.

 

[Rozay Oro]

Beautiful song
