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

[gman82]

I can't put this album down, I got the whole family hooked. This has officially become my favorite Lupe album. I think this is one of the 25 greatest hip hop albums ever created.

 

[Roster Player #99]

What's tripping me out is the nigga said the next two are better than this.......

Naturally you should be confident in your work as an artists but I actually believe this nigga

Lmao when did he say this?

on instagram i believe. i know i saw the screenshots, can't remember the platform.

I've probably played Adorations of the Magi, Chopper and Mural over 30 times these last two days.....this album is like a drug, I can't put it down

We talked about it in this thread

community.allhiphop.com/discussion/528995/lupe-announces-the-cool-2

 

[rip.dilla]

Woah.. this thread still going on?

It just confirms it's still the best album out

And I don't care what people perceive Lupe or his fans to be. Fuck 'em. LOL

That hook to 'Dots & Lines' on repeat in my head

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Lol at Lupe telling niggas to stay independent. Nobody on a major keeping it real with folks like that.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

I think Lupe's greatest verse ever IMO was Put You On Game off The Cool. My favorite verse (outside of the Mural verses and I leave them off purposely since they arent very easy to decipher) on this album changes all the time. But for now lets compare

Don't you know that I run this place

And I've begun this race

Must I rerun this pace

I'm the reason it's become this way

And their love for it is the reason I have become this praised

They love my darkness, I make them heartless

And in return they have become my martyrs

I've been in the poem of many a poet

And I reside in the art of many a artist

Some of your smartest have tried to articulate

My whole part in this

But they're fruitless in their harvest

The dro grows from my footsteps

I'm the one that they follow

I am the one that they march with

Through the back alleys and the black markets

The Oval offices, crack-houses, and apartments

Through the mazes of the queens

The pages of the sages and the chambers of the kings

Through the veinses of the fiends

A paper chaser's pager, yo, I'm famous on the scene

One of the oldest, most ancientest things

Speak every single language on the planet, y'kna mean?

I am the American dream

The rape of Africa, the undying machine

The overpriced medicine, the murderous regime

The tough guy's front and the one behind the scenes

I am the blood of this city

Its gas, water, and electricity

I'm its gym, and its math, and its history

The gunshots in the class

And you can't pass if you're missin', G

I taught them better than that

I taught them aim for the head and hope they never come back

I'm glad your daddy's gone, baby, hope he never comes back

I hope he's with your mother with my hustlers high in my trap

I hope you die in his trash

I can't help it all I hear when you're crying is laughs

I'm sure somebody find you tied up in this bag

Behind the hospital, little baby crack addicts had

Then maybe you can grow up to be a stripper

A welfare-receiving prostitute and gold digger

You can watch on TV how they should properly depict you

The rivers shall flow with liquor, quench your thirst on my elixirs

I am the safe haven for the rebel runaway and the resistor

The trusted misleader, the number one defender

And from a throne of their bones I rule

These fools are my fuel, so I make them cool

Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool

And feed them from the table that held Corleone's food

If you die, tell them that you played my game

I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name

Cause I'm the-- {Game}

Vs

3rd verse off Adoration of the Magi

Can't be eyes closed when you side scroll

You not the first person

The first person from your first cursin'

To your first cursive

And your curse words is in the curve version

It occurs virgin is the word version

That refers perfect to the first person

In the third verse, who's really me

In the third person but prefers the first one, that's me

Again

Master cleanse and a syringe

From a gerber until your first burger

Pamper to her depends

Everything between is just drawers

Even in between is no loss

Even where the king is no boss

Meet it with a swing it's so south

Unless you Bamm Bamm

Knocking them pitches into the grand stands

In the club, watching the women just do them hand stands

Like you a man's man

That's washing down a ham with the Zam Zam

Who got a baby in here with these strippers?

She's two weeks pregnant

Didn't even know, he's dancing with her, damn...
