[NEW] Lupe Fiasco - Cake (2nd single off Samurai)

[Prolific_1011]

These videos also don't do anything to make the songs better or connect anything.

Bro really shot and released a behind the scenes music video as the main video?...



The only complex lyricist that makes good music to me right now is Mick Jenkins. Lupe has completely jumped the shark

"Jumping the Shark" is exactly what it is.

Like who is ever really going to bump this shyt in real life

Cacs

I usually think Lupe's hooks and production is trash but I like this for some reason. A group of superproducers needs to remix like 85% of Lupe's catalog so he can be fully appreciated

 

[JoelB]

everything from this recent project sounds trash.

Alotta rappers are praising his second verse in his comment section. Rappers I wouldn't expect to be commenting actually. But son needs to stop listening to Aesop Rock and just make some dope music. We all know u can rap nikka but nobody wanna hear all this rambling.

I was surprised to see Bleek and Freeway in the comments

Then I remember Lupe was basically extended Roc-A-Fella family at a time

this isn't as bad as people are saying. my only issue is the hook but lupe still delivered.

i don't expect much from a lupe single and haven't for the past few albums. they are usually lackluster compared to the rest of the album.

Whelp this thread made me finally realize I'm a Lupe stan cause this shyt is FIRE to me.

I spun this shyt 100 times in the gym this morning

 

[Mag Wheel]

How you gonna have top tier lyrics and flow and the song sucks as a whole. Garbage ass beat.

 

[The Mad Titan]

I'ma blame chill sadly...




At this point em and Lupe need to release a collaboration album.

 

[TripleAgent]

I feel about him like Coli brehs claim to feel about Eminem. It's technical, but it's not FUN. At least Eminem has a sense of humor and flow tricks/variations. I may listen to catch the bars, but I have zero desire to listen again. Amy Winehouse as a battle rapper is about as interesting a concept as Em getting molested by his stepfather to me.

Like Samurai, this shyt will be a grower, pause.

I remember listening to Samurai and just being thrown off by how odd it sounded, i felt he was off beat, was like wtf is he talking about, etc. But after a half a dozen or so listens, it's now one of my favorite Lupe songs. I feel like Cake's slowly going down that same road. The beat is jarring, admittedly, but it's weirdly morphing into something listenable. I guess I'ma a Lupe Stan cuz I don't know wtf is going on.

Man naming a song CAKE..and it AIN'T no cake



Love Lupe to death, but he just rapping words together again...
