Dropping a tape via Google Scholar like it’s Souncloud with an MIT endorsement is aspirational
:manny:


It's cool because it's literally an example of "how to rap about something" for his students to understand how many ways you can interpret something and feed off the environment.


But because of that concept it's just practice raps, which is cool but damn this nikka already admitted he been recorded his craziest shyt ages ago and just never put it out :francis: I don't care about his rap camp for MIT students knowing that that's out there in the ether, and a nikka named Mickey Facts gets to listen to it daily

Only one I can’t rock with is ALL CAPS, which seemed to prioritize the message over the flow in the 2nd half and the distortion of “this nation” made it the most obvious that these were recorded outside. On the other hand, he floated on the last verse of Funhouse. Wouldn’t lump this together with DMIZ or Samurai, since it’s not meant to add up to anything cohesive, but I think Lupe’s probably due for something a little more ambitious in the near future.

He’s a legendary wordsmith but he sucks at making good memorable music

Lupe sucks at marketing too.

Yeah, he was screwed over by Atlantic during his peak. But Lupe went out of his way to not do interviews and promo runs thereafter. If you don't feed the industry, the industry won't feed you. Rappers and fans gotta understand every industry is an ecosystem.

Lupe Fiasco got a dedicated fanbase that keeping his name alive the same way many of us kept Max B's name alive. But most rap fans and even rappers don't even think of including Lupe when making their GOAT rapper lists.

a lot of artists got jaded in the pivot to streaming and failed to capitalize and got lazy on the marketing side.
