This is truly the definition of “instant classic” I don’t need time to pass for this masterpiece to be identified as a classic, it’s just one of those rare occasions .. bro, nd he’s done it in 72hrs smh legend

[@samsneadd]

If MS Mural was rapped by Em we would be calling it the most lyrical song of the year. That is how dope those metaphors was.

[@devvv4616]

or Kendrick or J.Cole. Lupe just doesn't have the mainstream reputation

[@pocketgrim4942]

I really think hes one of the most underrated rappers ever. How many people i know who listen to rap and dont have lupe anywhere on their radar is crazy. I get it too man, alotta people just wanna listen to shit and dont wanna do homework but my argument to that is if they wanna make an argument on who the best is they should do their homework.

[@chinortega3]

​@@pocketgrim4942 that is a funny yet true way to look at it haha definitely made me lmao

[@chinortega3]

Ms mural is such a beautiful song I gotta listen to it whenever it pops up, it might actually be my favorite mural

[@MrThankman360]

Lupe has always been dope. Him and Em respect each other. Lupe was very mainstream during Kick push era, but after that the general public just didn’t want such heady music. It’s unfortunate bc Lupe is amazing. Folks talk about Cole or K-Dot being “conscious rappers”, but they aren’t close to Lupe with talent in actuality.

[@camisanerd]

ms mural blew my mind when i first heard it, so glad u reacted to this

[@SolidSnake240]

This is easily gonna end up on my "best of the year" list. It's amazing to me how Lupe made possibly his most accessible album sonics wise and even lyrically but still manages to be complex enough for his core audience. I think it's safe to say that Lupe is a hiphop great at this point.

As a fan on Lu(I’m talking since before Fahrenheit), I never watch any online reactions for any of his works.. I always considered them to never provide the intellectual respect due to the sensei, but I am well pleased with what you both did here.

[@gu2u211]

Used to print out Lupe lyrics in school and annotate them, and listen to his albums on repeat on the bus rides in middle school. I remember I analyzed Hurt Me Soul for my 8th grade English project on poetry.. he's been my favorite rapper for so long that last year my friends got me a Lupe Cameo as a birthday gift.. to be a decade and a half in as a fan and to still receive masterpieces - it feels like we're not worthy. Thanks for breaking down this album, y'all are my favorite reactors on KZbin by far (the patreon is dope btw)

[@VibeVilla]

Appreciate you for rocking with us!

[@LT1316]

When i was in high school i recited Mural for the class and broke down different lines and the wordplay. Just such a masterpiece that i had to share it. Definitely was well received

[@LohseDotWav]

The hook in the last song takes on a different meaning after every verse. So incredible

[@TheaAmbiance]

masterpiece of an album. Lupe is Goated. it's really without question now. and this is one of the better reaction videos I've seen on youtube. killed it. instant subscribe.

[@chingonr]

U guys need to go through his whole discography if you haven't listened to it, especially Food & Liquor, Testuo & Youth, Drogas Waves. Drill Music in Zion is amazing especially considering it was made in 3 days with a $100 USB microphone and never pen on paper (written lyrics).

[@chrismalinowski654]

DaRae knows almost all his discography and theres a reaction to food & liquor on their patreon as an exclusive. They said they’ll do the cool very soon as well

[@_truthBtold]

Exactly what I was thinking as I listened very rare something is so good I close my eyes for a duration of a project and just take it all in. It was dope and refreshing...

[@carlosjacob3959]

I liked this album cause of the flows, rhyme and production But now understand the bars 🤯😲💯

[@Gen7486]

This might be my favourite album of the year so far. Also with Lupe singing vocals it made me think that Gambino could’ve got to Lupe level if he stuck with the rapping

[@chrismalinowski654]

Nooo lol. I love Gambino but he does not have even a tenth of lupe’s lyrical ability. Gambinos an amazing artist & vocalist but never been the strongest songwriter with his hip hop songs

[@screamingeagle11b]

@@chrismalinowski654 I agree, Gambino knows how to make hits, but lyrically theirs literally maybe only a handful of people on his level and I can't even think of any off the top

[@Gen7486]

@@chrismalinowski654 Respectfully I disagree, if you first listened to ‘Because The Internet’ when you were a little younger, listen again now, it’s even better than it was back then when you deep the lyrics. Bino was ahead of his time in the same way that Lupe was/is. You say he’s not the strongest writer but his freestyles on both Sway and Hot97 are two of the most viewed freestyles on the Internet and he didn’t achieve that by simply being Childish Gambino, he was really saying something when he rapped - same as Lupe. Also a lot of the harmonic chains were similar riffs that Bino went on whilst experimenting for BTI.

[@pittaaaabread]

@@chrismalinowski654 Yeah that's true, I do think their styles would pair up really well on a collab album doe. Gambino has praised lupe before I think as well.

[@plafayette]

Yes! Reviewers either sleeping on Drill Music in Zion or they ducking Lupe. Hype to see you took it on and appreciated his genius. Mans is so underrated in the game. It is hard to catch everything on first listen. Like who knew Ghoti is pronounced fish 😂 GH as in enouGH, O as in women, TI as in nation. You also missed the Seattle Supersonics reference in the chorus of Seattle. Naomi Osaka reference “So swiiiiing!” on Naomi. The last track was basically explaining the meaning of the album. The critique of Drill Music glorifying gun talk. He wishes they were lying in their songs. The irony of having drill music in Zion, the holy place, the promised land. This album is like if Kendrick kept the theme of the end of Heart 5 throughout his album. So creative, so lyrical, deep, impressive. And he does it in 3 days in garage band. He made his illmatic. Give the man his flowers.

[@chrismalinowski654]

Only them and jon denton doing reactions

[@chrismalinowski654]

The heart part 5s themes are literally all across kendricks album. You can argue if he executed it well or not but he definitely stuck to em for most of the album

[@plafayette]

@@chrismalinowski654 I'm talking about the Nipsey part specifically not all the themes of the Heart 5. He didn't take on the topic of gun violence in hip hop the way Lupe does on this album.

He also painted that cover art for Tetsuo and Youth and someone offered to purchase that piece for 250$ and he refused to sell it.

I would agree in a sense that Kendricks lyrics are trying to be deep, but he hasn't had that much experience or revisions or honed skills as much as Lupe has...cuz there's still some vagueness in kendricks lyrics while trying to be deep( while enticing and good writing, theyre still not that effective as "deep" bars, for me at least) meanwhile Lupe's lyrics are "deep" and "layered)(makes you think of the images and phrases he's saying) but you can still comprehend it in a way to be appreciated.
