LOVE ur Lupe videos. I can relate to your passion for his craft.

[@TheThirdErnest]

He’s insane. Literally sit in awe as I listen.

[@Angela-219]

TheThirdErnest -same. And I just wanna tell you that you do an amazing job. You pick up a lot of things most listeners don’t catch and you deliver it in a clear and understandable way. So thank you for being someone us Lupe fans can enjoy his art with 💕 your videos are dope af

[@bokkiesensei4191]

Dude, same. i got to this channel because of his reactions on Eminem and NF, heard about Lupe fiasco, now theres 3 of my top 5 Eezy.

[@Angela-219]

Bokkie Sensei - welcome to Lupe Land ❤️ it’s hard being a Lupe fan, go to Harvard to be a Lupe Stan 💕 (Lyrics from SLR 2) That’s one of my favorite songs by Lupe. Actually all of lupes songs are my fave lol

[@bokkiesensei4191]

@@Angela-219 Omahgawsh thanks for that, listened, and loved already :D. I've been going through his Lasers Album, the flows and rhymes and delivery of this man is legendary, honestly. Gonna go through every song, like i did Eminem, NF, Tom Macdonald, Joyner. List goes on, but ill sit here whole day listing them haha

[@onevision777]

Tetsuo&youth is the most incredible and underrated work of art

[@ImInYourBrains]

This is one of my top Lupe songs too! I can never understand why people dont give Lupe the cred he deserves especially considering how much is given to Kendrick. Im not knocking on Kdot, but Lupe was first and Lupe was and is better as far as lyrical content, themes, and message. I credit Lupe Fiasco for returning me to rap cause after Nas, Jay Z, and other rappers of that era, rap just became all about materialistic and meaningless crap. Dont let the lack of views deter you. You are one of only two reactors that I know who dares to swim in the deep end.

[@TheThirdErnest]

Nah views don’t matter for lu vids. It’s a passion protect. I would say it’s probably because he was unashamedly nerdy and had a kind of playful swag about him that was not popular at the time. Gotta remember what was mainstream when he broke through. He got to where he was at by sheer talent. Kendrick raps with a lot of substance but still raps like he’s from the hood about hood topics. Lupe never did so his skater/anime/Japanese flair didn’t connect as much as Kendrick. But Lupe clearly paved the way for new rappers to open up about less hood cliche things

[@Coolemous]

'Throwing dough up in the air' Just realised that's also how pizza bakers make their pizza dough, by throwing it in the air.

[@TheThirdErnest]

Buzz you in if the bell of my ghetto rung. Like you buzz the pizza man in. 🔥

[@Coolemous]

@@TheThirdErnest I love how no matter how many times I'v heard a lupe song, I know there's always more to discover.

[@Angela-219]

Jaimzell yassss!!! There’s always more. Gift that keeps on giving

[@spiritinabody6141]

The passion is dope.Lupe fiasco clearly taught you and alot of us to deep dive into the lyrics and it dont matter how many times youve heard his songs a decade later you can still find gems in his lyrics

[@TheThirdErnest]

That’s what I’m saying man. Lupe is the sole reason I am as good as I am at lyrical comprehension. The dudes writing can and should be studied American poetry and literature classes

[@pinkladyprime2179]

Bruhhhh! My brain kinda hurt. You deserve more views man

[@TheThirdErnest]

Haha thank you and Lupe deserves more!

[@bigdap100]

I’ve said a few times in the past the SAME thing, Lupe Fiasco may be the greatest rapper of all time, he’s beyond elite.

[@coastercraze68]

This wordplay is absolutely insane. I can definitely see why you are so passionate about him, and that’s what makes these ones so fun to watch!

[@ginobds2344]

T&Y is my favorite Lupe album

[@angieb1676]

Same

[@TheThirdErnest]

Easily. 4 district parts with the music matching the story of the album?? And above to play in reverse?? Dude was on one for sure

[@ginobds2344]

TheThirdErnest everything about the album is amazing to even the artwork which he painted. Not only that but the fact that Anonymous is the reason why we have this album lol. It’s incredible. I felt like it got overlooked cause TPAB did dropped that same year

[@wahe3baghers618]

I subbed due to Lupe hype train. And enjoy and share the lupe break down with friends. It always blows their mind

[@TheThirdErnest]

Yooo thanks for sharing! Also plenty of Lupe gems to come

[@PainAllInMyEyesICantSee]

Please please react to WAV files by Lupe. Your reactions are always so thorough and I’d love to hear your reaction to it x

[@kaeji1679]

One of my favorites from Lupe. Also, I've always thought it might be a stretch, but I thought Deliver has three meanings: 1. Pizza delivered 2. Baby delivered 3. De-liver (removal of liver: the necessary organ for digestion and growth) It's even crazier when you tie the significance of the song into T&Y (backwards) which is essentially his autobiography. Like the pizza places, Lupe stayed away from the ghetto lifestyle despite being born (DELIVERED) in W. Chicago. At the same time, the ghetto shaped and has always been an influential part of Lupe's music. In the context of the album (backwards), Deliver is immediately followed with Chopper which begins with "...and now ladies and gentlemen, Lupe Fiasco", introducing us to Lupe, the rapper. Chopper is pretty much about pimping the game for personal benefit meaning Lupe successfully makes it out of Deliver's ghetto by pimping the rap game and using nerdy themes and persona as commentary to the ghetto he grew up in. Genius. 🤯

[@JordanRA]

This song is blowing my mind lol. You made me a fan out of Lupe Fiasco. I said before that before you started this train I had only heard "hip hop saved my life" but now hearing more, I'm shocked

[@TheThirdErnest]

Yeah man Lupe is in a class all his own when it comes to style and capability. The dude is just too smooth.

[@hammaadurrehman1459]

the only guy on youtube who knows how to begin breaking down lupe. keep it up b!

[@cortezstanley9524]

Tetsuo and youth is my all time favorite album. I make a yearly post talking about how fire the album is and how each song has multi layered meaning in each line talking about socio/political issues as well as spiritual issues. Plus almost every song has pop culture/video game references, which goes to show that Lupe probably has the has the widest and most diverse life experiences of any rapper just based on the types of lyrics he throws in his songs.

[@ishaking6278]

Share that post with me

[@ramudon2428]

Always more Lupe. Absolutely. More if you can manage do it. You two are a great combination.

[@mehmeh8863]

Only here for the Lupe videos. Absolutely love your breakdowns. Hopefully you tackle Mural someday although that's going to be one long ass video. Much love and respect

[@TheThirdErnest]

Haha LONGGGG ass video. But we will get to it and more Lupe. Next is switch

[@shamrockgem]

Subscribed after watching several videos going to watch all of them. Love your insight because I would never have listened to this artist or song, so thanks for broadening my mind

[@gamesguitarsandcars]

Lupe so underrated. Love hearing breakdowns of his stuff.

[@kwiq1]

Great reaction! You always deliver!

[@TheThirdErnest]

I see what you did there. Nice. Lol

[@afrofriend9140]

Bro I appreciate you. These videos on Lupe's body of work are my favorite. It's such a shame Lupe doesn't more recognition for his talent. Dood is just in another stratosphere. You do a good job always breaking down his art. Kudos to you. It's dope content.

[@bryanjones9136]

Best Lyricist Ever? I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. Once again, great work diving into the lyrics of "Carrera Lu" 😁

[@kerryshelton8868]

Great Lupe breakdown. I pretty much view when you have a Lupe reaction/breakdown b/c you have the most thorough and insightful perspectives. (Side note: I think you may have shortchanged the MYH saga). Nonetheless, keep the Lupe breakdowns coming, I would def subscribe. Saw the Wav Files breakdown when it first came out, consider doing another breakdown from Drogas Wave...

[@00davisc]

Completely forgot about this gem, added to my play list and won't forget it again. Didn't realise it had the 2 meanings, absolute fire from one of the best to ever do it 🙌

[@molesengmokgosi986]

i love how you always sneak Lupe in here😭♥️ not many people make lupe vids. thank you so muchhh

[@emmanuelguerrero3751]

Best Lupe breakdown videos by far, thanks a ton🙏

[@AntSpen27]

Bro u be on point with these bars... Lupe been my fav since i heard tilted wayyy back on 2k. Bro im old, i been claimin rakim the as goat, cause rakim changed the game to real lyrics, my whole life until i heard lupe! Failure, Much More, theme music, list on and on. #Lupethegoat

[@gregorywillis72411]

That was beautifully broken down shotgun style showen the guts fam. I want more Lupe breakdowns cause some like Isaiah fam. One

[@johncrichton8876]

Lupe is the top 5 lyricists of all time. All the spots. Nobody is in his league

[@whatchewup219]

I seriously cry listening to his songs and YOU ALWAYS GO SO DEEP, you definitely do him justice!! Seriously your fave could NEVER!! Lupe is the goat 🐐!!

[@therealadil]

You and Lupe are the 🐐s

Haha I appreciate that man! We love to fly under the radar lol

[@melodyk8438]

Love the Lupe videos!! Always go into them now knowing what to expect and get mind blown by the time you finish! Did not disappoint

[@TheThirdErnest]

He’s one of the illest to ever do it!

[@Splooie010]

Dude, not only was that intro crazy, but I didn't see that chorus coming, with the pizza guy not approaching. Edit: Also didn't see that Peace of Man bit coming either, wow

[@somainevent1]

Love the Lupe reactions! Love everyone who takes the time and effort into keeping his legacy alive.

[@TheThirdErnest]

One of the greatest under the radar songs ever written 🔥🔥

[@mfstu]

Also, there’s a third. Piece of man, referring to absent fathers

[@ohmzlaw1421]

Yooo, I needed this!

[@kakashi.hatake3896]

This breakdown🔥🔥❤️

[@thecrimsonking187]

Hey, my English is not the best and I "discovered" Lupe, for whatever reason, only through the fronts against Royce, but this song really flashed me, as did other songs by him. And your explanation enhances it for me again. Thanks for that ^^

[@Mrsonicboom343]

Love the ghetto 1st verse pure poetry

[@TheThirdErnest]

I think he says ghetto around 24 times in one verse. That would be amazing spoken word

[@sphynxeastwood]

2022 still my favorite

[@mugm2]

You are one of my favorites on KZbin frfr

[@maxkapel]

As a dutch guy a lot off lupe's wordplay is going over my head but still i always liked lupe.

[@TheThirdErnest]

Don’t worry a lot of Lupe wordplay goes over native English speakers lol he does say “don’t wake me til I land where they barely understand what I speak but they nod to my beats”

[@a-aura]

Ernest that's a dope reply

[@AngelSicairos24]

Yo love your reactions 🔥🔥

[@jonathanalvarez3063]

After watching this video many times already, I found a (what I think could be) third possible meaning for the sentence "pizza man/peace of man don't come here no more" where it refers to it alluding to the idea of a warning to this peace or man to NOT come to the hood anymore instead of saying that it/he in fact does not come to the hood anymore. I base this on the idea of Lupe being in the scenario where he is actually talking to this symbolized entity (peace or a pizza man) kinda representing innocence, purity and fairness. About how if it/he keeps on coming, none of it will be left for those in the future. And so, if taken in such way, the song can acquire different meaning in some 'barsss'. Idk, just random thought, I did not put so much thought on it. If any, tell me what you think.

[@taylor1982100]

I liked this song before I even knew all the double meanings! Crazy all that word play you caught good job man, definitely subscribing!!

[@ScreamGeronimo]

I love watching someone else Stan over this song the way I do. Hardest 3rd Verse Ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dennispugh7368]

Had to rewatch, this is a year old so doubt you will see this, but are you ever going to breakdown Mural??? Been waiting years man, I keep begging Steve Knight but he knows how complex it is so he keeps putting it off 🤣 you're the Lupe guy tho so I really wanted to see you do it

[@richardwilson5769]

Lupe is definitely top 5 lyricist even better than Eminem in some ways and I’m a Stan bro.

[@ishaking6278]

Lupe is easily better than Em when it comes to storytelling and lyricism, and i am a Stan too. Eminem is a better MC tho.

[@gangsterapmademedoit]

I loved this whole album. 🔥 I live in “the swat” (south west alief Texas, Houston) and I ordered a pizza online from papa johns and the called and said we don’t deliver to your apartments, I said why and it was because the got robbed too many times. I think I need to move but I been here since 92’. I guess it’s carry out for me. Have you done murals yet? Or prisoner 1 and 2, if you been in jail that song has so much meaning.

[@AngelSicairos24]

Can u do Bobby by logic and that album pls....

[@Howlettsghost]

"The Peace of man" don't come here no more 🔥

[@valopy9242]

Awesome breakdown... the only Lupe I got to hear in my county was Daydreaming... (I'll check your other vids related to Lupe) and just to clarify: Toro means Bull in Spanish Torero is the "BullFighter", the crazy person one that waves the cloth to the bull (related to the kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp2Tl6CBqM2agqM) Thanks!

[@Portthefirst]

He is really one of the best lyricists, ever. You earned a sub from me. Literally your breakdown is so on point and so accurate. Reviewing Lupe's songs might not get you a lot of views, but still, thanks! Edit: test yourself and do Mural or Failure.

[@ishaking6278]

Wipe out the phrase of "one of" and we are good.

[@hamaqal]

Smooth E !!! this iz what i was telling you about ... this kid iz a pure lyricist, and he seemingly never strays outside of his wheelhouse ... an absolute genius at this rap thang !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 he is the nerdiest hood cat i know ... alwayz nice with the production (even the gun play in the background), and his delivery iz alwayz on point ( the mood alwayz fitting the spitting)👍 he may not be the GOAT, but no doubt he iz one of the GOATs (a true ram ... hornz curling on another level 🐐) thanx for doing this one ... it happenz to b a fave 😉 signing out ... 4 3 2 ... tranquility ✌ wl

[@jusree14]

We're on the same page.... Lupe is a G.O.A.T.

[@TheBlackJewelz]

I love your appreciation for Lupe. He's sooooo way ahead of his time. I feel he won't truly be appropriately recognized for years to come. However, I think saying he's a top 5 "lyricist" is a bit of a misnomer. I think he's probably the best conceptualist and linguist/semanticist in hip hop. There's never been a rapper in the game that even comes within a freaking lightyear of his abilities in that realm. His actually lyrical prowess-in terms of lyricism alone (structures, patterns, homonyms, cadences, etc.)-is excellent but not the best of the best. Not quite to be rivaled with the likes of Eminem, Tech N9ne, Nas, Rakim, etc.

[@TheBlackJewelz]

@@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0000 perfectly put, my friend. 👌🏾

[@ishaking6278]

The cadence isn't about lyricism, someone like Eminem, Tech N9ne, Kendrick etc. will demolish Lupe with cadence. Lupe is the greatest lyricist and storyteller tho.

[@celestialnubian]

Best Emcee Ever Period!

[@Krazie-Ivan]

listened to this track a thousand times... just NOW realized "porch" is also "poach" ...which in-itself has a double meaning: poaching anything of value to make it in the jungle, and life's powerful poaching young black folk for greed (for-profit prisons).

[@christianvazquez523]

Yes he’s in the top 5 but not the greatest.

[@jacobrobinson8310]

Who’s better

[@christianvazquez523]

Jacob Robinson I don’t think that would matter since everyone has a different MC that they think is the greatest. But if we taking about greatest Eminem is high up there. Royce up there too. Then you have underground rapers like Chris Rivers. There’s a lot. But if we are keeping it mainstream Eminem is in that convo of the greatest.

[@TheThirdErnest]

That’s a tough argument man. Em is my boy and I actually started this channel with em. He’s crazy with the pen but lyrically i still think Lupe wins. A lot of dms success comes from his controversy and his ability to rhyme anything and everything. He’s no bullshit. In your face and tells it like it is and has some of the craziest similes and metaphors. But...poetry wise...fluidity of words wise...song concepts wise...album concepts wise...Lupe is in a class all on his own. And that’s saying a lot from me because I hold em at goat status.

[@christianvazquez523]

TheThirdErnest overall yes I agree with you he’s up there with Joyner and Hopsin in the story telling and album concept. As well as NF. And other MCs I could see your view on that clear. But 40-42 seconds into the reaction you said lyricist and the greatest of all time I don’t think anyone can take that from Eminem and he can most definitely put a story together as well but we are rating this as lyricist

[@akanijohn1825]

@@christianvazquez523 the recent Em just rhymes a bunch of words that's all. Everything Lupe spits there's a meaning behind it and not just for the sake of rhyming

[@EphLife51516]

I do appreciate his word play and I don't deny him the right to have his own perspective, however, one major thing bothered me and would keep me from listening to this song. He spent his time rapping about all of the problems of the ghetto but provided no real solutions to the problems facing the ghetto. Now it may not be his responsibility to provide answers, it is just a song expressing ideas. But think about it, if you are in a conversation with someone who does nothing but complain and doesn't provide possible solutions, do you want to keep listening? I don't.
