Lupe Fiasco - Tetsuo and Youth Official Album Discussion 1/20/15

[Roster Player #99]

swimming pools was filler?

clearly you didn't listen to the album

no matter how relevant it is to the storyline that shit is wack to me. Its a sure fire jam for radio, it did its job. Every single song on Lu shit is melt your face, from beats to lyrics, top to bottom next level shit.

 

[Listencloser]

Rewrite history, liberty needs a better bell,

Maybe harder irons and carbon fibers that never fail,

Smarter science mixed with a odd alliance of fairy tale,

Or maybe just a metal pail that you hit with a steel tools

To announce that you've had enough and dropping out of SEAL school

therefore, it's not filler

Dont get me wrong I love Life is good, This is just better

I want this thread to be stickied forever!

Way too many quotables on this album. I guess this is the part of the thread we post lines or verses that touch us

- Now what's a coffin with a scratched ceiling?

- I prefer girls to reign all over the world..

Both from 'Mural' and both thought provoking

This is dead end hip hop, they're black NOT needledrop so dont flag me this time

For real tho. Needledrop is a way better album review show.

These guys be unorganized and playing on there phones and shit.

Thats why Fantano says more in a 6 minute clip than these guys say in 20 sum minutes.

I fuck with em both but Fantano is the better show.

What is the point if any review ...aside from looking for validation of an opinion that you already have?

Fuck em all TBH

I guess there's entertainment value to a review ... Or to show that X person holds this view on whatever project is in question ...but ultimately they seem a little useless in regards to how one shall receive an album

What is the point if any review ...aside from looking for validation of an opinion that you already have?

Just to see other opinions on an album, no different that what we are doing here

And maybe weather woman

Whatever better to tell ya weather comin'

I prefer girls to reign all over the world

And not rain like, rain man or rain like rain dance

Or rain like a slight chance of rain when it's raining

Or rein like deer slaves to Santa Claus sleigh man

But reign like Queens that reign over made man

And not Queen like Queen killer, rhapsody bohemian Queen

But Queen like white glove wave hand

And not wave hand like it's a heat wave

So you make a fan by waving your hand

I'm talking wave like you saying "hey"

Man, and not hay for horses and hoarse like you almost voiceless

You gotta treat your vocal chords like it's a fortress

And treat every single one of your words like reinforcements

And especially when you're recording

Cause that's the portion that's important

I don't understand your obsession with that pink faced half a fag and why you insist on pushing his agenda here. It's clear we don't value his opinions, yet you just can't comprehend that simple fact. Whatever bruh. Do you. Just know his terrible, biased, honky, hipster opinions are what many posters here feel like is part of the problem with hip-hop culture; letting outsiders dictate what's worth getting attention and what isn't.

Body of Work has a few bars referencing Deep Cover...

From the guts of the mother, Campbell should move her undercover

With a $3000 son she just want a lover

And somebody else to come and try to drug her

Take her off the grill she done...

Remember Fishburne's neighbor? The junky, latina chick whose son Fishburne ends up with at the end? She tried to sell him for $3000 for drugs.

And the 2nd verse...

Limo to the limit, fill it to the brim get in it

You can't get it if you gotta ask

In that case I want two masks...

Fishburne had this conversation with Betty; the seller of exotic masks and artwork that he ends up with at the end of the film. When she first met him she told him if he had to ask the prices, he couldn't afford it. He replied that he wanted two masks the next time he saw her.

Just to see other opinions on an album, no different that what we are doing here

At least I can rationalize listening to the opinions of posters on a hiphop forum by saying that I know each of you niggas have some sort of participation with the culture just in the fact that you would sign up for a hiphop based board ...

But Fantano?

Why the fuck would anyone be even remotely interested or place value in anything he has to say?

Would you be interested in listening to Ryan Secrests analysis of Illmatic?

Lol at me pushing an agenda

I dont even agree with his ratings.

Hes just a random dude who can voice his opinion on an album.

Much like all these internet avatars you convorsate with daily online.

Get out your feelings bruh

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Folks lets keep this great thread about the GOAT rapper himself. Lets cool it brothers.

[rip.dilla]

I wore this album out lol

Not for me but what I usually do now is just start playing the album from any of the 4 seasons if I don't feel like listening to everything
