Kennith Inge We gotta hope those next two albums are damn near perfect, and apparently this was just a bunch of off tracks due to it being "light".

[@Diomaz1996]

This is why I love this channel! Love all the different perspectives and discussion in terms of people not taking time to properly digest or review albums.

[@EagleZtoTheGrave]

Pretty sure his goal is for these to be the Magnum Opus, if Tetsuo and Youth wasn't it that is.

[@NothinButGame]

Kennith Inge do a review on Starlito- "Manifest Destiny" album

[@ZodMagus]

this album has to be a joke

lol they exist you just gotta squint a little bit

[@catucker2]

yall actin like lupe didnt just drop a classic album in tetsuo and youth

[@ivesbarrera]

Did you watch the T&Y review? It was overwhelmingly positive?

[@catucker2]

yeah i watched it but everybody besides myke was like lupe's career is a disappointment he's inconsistent and i disagree i feel like lasers is his only bad album the rest of his albums have been good to great

[@ivesbarrera]

I guess that's fair. I mean to be honest, if you like the sound you like the sound. I think the only objective thing about hip hop is whether or not the person is spitting. Beat choice and sound aside.

[@blodiaaa6990]

cat tnt stop calling everything a classic

[@ivesbarrera]

furthestfromthesun. Haha, I thought T&Y was damn near classic status, at least for Lu

[@DJDoubJTV]

this is that classic dehh review style

[@tjbooker3466]

Atlantic wanted him to go commercial. now he's off Atlantic and this album has been on ESPN for two months

[@ghtraining1]

T and Y was great. F N L 2 was super underrated too in my opinion. I pretend Light didnt happen.

[@shendig7]

21:04 Feefo: That's why I don't want to hear his next album Ken: I do Just proved that Ken is actually looking forward to an album since he said he never is lol.

[@MoveTowardsTheLight]

T Daniels Caught him slippin lol.

[@dwinnie]

last years video he actually was looking foward for another album he stays slipping

[@jamesjones-ez9ug]

Lupe been street before he was a conscious rapper

[@EagleZtoTheGrave]

He was still dropping that knowledge though, he took a unique angle on the street stuff.

[@TariqYasiinProd]

james jobber Still, listen to the lyrics dude.

[@BDot-7]

I feel like Myke wants any excuse to disagree with someone

[@SYMShutYoMouth]

Or he just has a different fucking opinion?

[@mykectown]

And I feel like y'all come up with any excuse to post some negative bullshit in our comment section.

[@BDot-7]

Chill out mate, didn't know it was illegal to have an opinion. No need to be so confrontational

[@mykectown]

Y'all are hilarious. You say some bullshit clearly trying to get a response, but when you get one you act like I'm a bad guy. Hahaha! Dish it...take it. That's life, bro.

[@BDot-7]

Come on Myke, you're clearly a very educated and eloquent guy, but whenever someone appears to disagree with your opinion, you seem to get very defensive. Just my opinion bro, I appreciate what you're doing

[@RizzyWow]

Lupe got 5 black belts, and his dad used to run a dojo, hence the samurai pic. But yeah, I agree Drogas Light is like okay, it was meant for him to performed at concerts. I'm still waiting for Drogas & Skulls though. Those are the real albums.

[@asb7880]

How does Feefo not mess with album? It bumps in the whip

[@rellcity11]

cause lupe washed

[@rickyf4459]

Angad Babra it ain't bump in the whip like that lol food n liquor and the cool bump in the whip this meh

[@t-god2439]

Angad Babra lmao like his favourite line

[@EagleZtoTheGrave]

This album does bump though... This is only one of 3 albums meant to catch people's ear. This was a Lazer's reboot basically lol I think the next 2 albums will be similar to the Cool and Tetsuo.

[@av8534]

Angad Babra Hell yeah it does

[@OctavianJohnson]

Drogas Light is apparently a throwaway album. Drogas is "supposed" to be a lyrical miracle lupe album (hopefully)

[@madeyeatreides4055]

Exactly

[@BuckMarley]

Octavian Johnson Lupe ensured it. We getting the real shit next.

[@OctavianJohnson]

The Boy - Lol don't shoot the messenger I'm just saying what he said

[@lightonorganic4789]

Yup

[@Rohan-yn2ts]

I get the disappointment but WHAT ABOUT TETSUO & YOUTH!!! Why are people acting like he hasn't released naything good since The Cool. T&Y is a masterpiece, he still has made good music in the recent past

[@Mmmarky92]

Rohan also Pharoah Heights

[@MoveTowardsTheLight]

Rohan Because people have short attention spans/memories. They expect everything Rappers/artist put out to be on some hot fire shit ya dig.

[@Rohan-yn2ts]

That too. GREAT EP

[@Rohan-yn2ts]

Well I think people certainly have a right to be disappointed with Drogas LIGHT, because I was too as a big Lupe fan... I just wanted to retain perspective that T&Y was only a few years ago and it was unbelievably good

[@Mmmarky92]

Rohan When DROGAS really drops I hope he pulls through and gives us something greater than T&Y. To this day I still play at least one T&Y song a week and i can listen to that full album everytime

[@LookingForAName...]

I feel like people always want Lupe to preach to them. If he's not delivering some deep message they don't care, while Lupe has always been the kind to experiment and have fun with his music.

[@TheRealitySam]

After Tranquillo the album is near unlistenable

[@mfwhom5214]

I'm just going to skip the light version.

[@rahsully5545]

MF Whom ? I love your name and even though I don't blame you, I think there's a couple songs worth listening to, but just a couple.

[@mfwhom5214]

Rod Sully which ones ?

[@illmaticQB94]

MF Whom ? The last song on the album was the best one. I only liked about 3 songs mind you.

[@FunnyMemeHere]

MF Whom ? Dopamine Lit

[@rahsully5545]

more than my heart, kill, made in the USA & ngl.

[@mansur_omar]

I deleted Drogas Light. I will stick with Tesuo and Youth and act as if Drogas never happened.

[@HeavenOrHell74]

Mansur Omar i second that! only songs i like are kill, dopamine, and jump is ok... beat is hard, dont care for lyrics

[@cai6972]

Mansur Omar yeah imma wait for DROGAS

[@1Bullet2Ki11s]

DROGAS didn't happen. This is Drogas *LIGHT*

[@creativebobbie]

Myke hit it right on the money! Lupe is rapping on beats the rest of the group just doesn't want to hear Lupe over. I'm a big Lupe fan, full disclosure. I liked this and Lasers. But definitely get why folks are confused and not feeling. But we definitely need to make a distinction between what we don't want to hear and stuff that is ACTUALLY terrible. LET LUPE PLAY!!! lol

[@LouieV6]

creativebobbie He had trap beats on Tetsuo & Youth and those tracks were great. So what's the deal with people's issues with the trap beats on this album? Not every time I wanna hear Lupe rap over a boom bap beat. What's great about him is he doesn't limit himself to just one style of production. He rummages threw a few before he can find the ones that suits him best. That's always been Lupe.

[@kooleyBear]

I think the problem is Lupe is one of the artists in rap that has been boxed in by "fans" and fans alike. They expect damn near every verse to be a double entendre and over the same type of production. And what is crazy is people talked shit about his style of subject matter and beat choice and lyrical ability when he came out with F&L and are now acting like they loved it from jump knowing they didn't.

[@HappyGuy343]

+kooleyBear This is true. When he goes into SLR mode people complain about him being too lyrical. When he simplifies the lyricism he's accused of dumbing it down. The man just can't win with everybody.

[@creativebobbie]

I fully agree!

[@jthesnake77]

B-Mint1994 this is bad lyricism and music. Mixtape Lupe, cool, f&l, t&y lupe raps his ass office! Here he's avg at best

[@piecesofaman6419]

Didn't Lupe say he deliberately made this lyrically "light" to give himself a break cause he wanted to take a break and keep things distinctly not "jazzy" because he's saving all his lyricism for "Drogas". Remember reading that somewhere.

[@Mmmarky92]

Pieces of a man yeah on his own review. Dehh needs to read that

[@LouieV6]

JM C they briefly talked about Lupe's review

[@wherevinoat]

This is gonna break my heart ugh lol This is my least fave Lupe project, but Im still a Stan and think that Drogas Deep will be amazing. My theory is that he made this as his first independent project to piss off Atlantic and show he can make mainstream music like they would want but without the drama. But IDK, I guess he doesn't get a free pass. BUT PLEASE GIVE him 1 more shot lol Drogas Deep will be that shit. I still liked a lot of songs on this project, thought a lot of this shit banged. UPDATE Myke just saved the video for me again hahaha!!! I agree with him, 10000% not going back to this project a lot. Think he showing that he can do mainstream music but better with a Lupe twist But he did show off his skill MAJOR on these songs. Cant believe you guys didn't talk about the Momma track outro ! haha great video tho

[@Blacklightning201]

Thank you very much. This review led to me to listening to Lupe Fiasco's tetsuo and youth.

[@yungobama5391]

Didn't lupe said that this album was a compilation of old songs he had?

[@av8534]

david flores yeah i think so

[@madeyeatreides4055]

yea this is Drogas LIGHT. The real Drogas drops in a few months.

[@lightonorganic4789]

Yeah but people don’t pay full attention, Lupe deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point, before judging looking into what’s really going on, he’s tryna be done with Atlantic so he just put out old songs that he never has put out

[@scnext]

Should have made this a free mixtape to hype the album. First half was tight second half fell off real quick.

[@floko43]

Great videos and I respect all of your guys perspectives fr

Glad to see that DEHH enjoyed his next project. Drogas Wave was dope.

[@SpurOfMoment]

Thanks Myke and Ken for a great review.

[@JJPHILLYLG]

Off topic but Oddisee drops on Friday...can't wait

[@justpaul6949]

JJPHILLYLG Hope they gonna review this,I know Beezy430 is a huge fan of him..

[@josephine_marie]

Is the Mic Still On is so entertaining and real. Congrats Feefo on the engagement. Myke's Keith Sweat story was heartbreaking.

[@josephmartins1067]

[@SYMShutYoMouth]

YOOOO you need to CHILL LMFAO

[@MoveTowardsTheLight]

Jose Arguello lmao.

[@SleepFan771]

I just want another Tetsuo & Youth level project. Hopefully DROGAS Wave & SKULLS are dope...

[@e4energy912]

Bruh, thank you for the review. I agree there is no consistency. I expect more.

[@DejaquezernDenaster]

Wish I could support you guys on Patreon, but currently broke. Keep it up, great video as always.

[@tyzac17]

LMAO when they listen to DROGAS Wave.....

[@hjkl3378]

Bruh, he said this is his final record for Atlantic. Apparently he wrote a masterpiece for the real DROGAS, but he knew the label would shit all over his concept, so he dropped DROGAS Light to satisfy the terms of the deal, and when he drops DROGAS independently it'll be the real thing..

[@JPWicks6]

i get myke's point, but if a rap album has -mediocre production -trash hooks -features that dont complement the album -a handful of good songs mixed with bad ones then why do good lyrics from Lupe make up for all that? i think people have a right to be disappointed.

[@amanSpawn00]

JPWicks6 because they are saying it's worse than what it is. It's good, just not what people assume to come from Lupe. Trap lyrics? With actual good raps? And he made that contradiction sound good(similar to Dumb It Down). Once you get rid of that box that we put certain artists in(how they should sound versus how they do sound), you see that it actually isn't a disappointment until after Kill. Everything past that wasn't good, average but funny enough much better than many pop tracks.

[@KarlhiXIssa]

I wanna see them have an in depth conversation about Lupe's career. SO INTERESTING

[@Adizzy31]

lupe tweeted this was his revision to lasers. to me as a lupe stan this is a throwaway album and I'm hoping the other albums he's suppose to drop this year will be the conceptual lyrical I love. still don't hate the album. to one of your other videos, I'm still checking on lupe when he comes out again

[@nicholaskambala5685]

I loved the Intro.

[@carloscarvajal9547]

I love hearing everybody's opinion on this channel.

[@HappyGuy343]

Can't wait for DROGAS. Mural Jr already has me interested

[@NotDouahou]

I liked this album. This was cool album!

[@av8534]

Dou Ahou Yeah it was pretty good

[@everv883]

I saw this album as T&Y throwaway tracks recorded since 2013. His label fucked him over so why not release the stuff that didn't make T&Y and the 2 upcoming albums. This album was ok nothing terrible. Better than lasers lmao

[@kooleyBear]

And the funny part is he has said multiple times before it was released that it was old songs that didn't make the cut lol.

[@Punjabispitta]

Lupe's light work is still sick af, zone out the beats and just appreciate the guys mic presence!

[@DB1999TX]

Mike always speaking my mind..

[@kampalatwich5383]

ok this review is interesting not what I expected but good,all in all I agree with myke

[@blyakeprice9771]

Late night reviews are the best

[@Emmanuel-ix4yc]

This album is the light version of what's to come on the next two. Favorite tracks were Dopamine lit, NGL, Made in the USA, Tranquillo, More than my Heart.

[@afgrocks]

Damn... Myke killed this review!

[@markbrunache648]

Not making an excuse for this album, but lupe's an artist you can't put in a box. This guy has made a rock album, does DJ ing from time to time, and of course raps. Good, bad or indifferent, Lupe does not play by our rules.

[@GeronFletcher]

Lupe is so damn talented. He just needs someone over him guiding him musically like jay z did at first.

[@dfwherbie8814]

Jay Z had nothing to do with food & liquor. Tht album was already done before he was even signed. And honestly, if you go back to this album, you’re telling me it’s that bad? No, it’s not

[@panasonicyouth1985]

Nice review, justified! And loving the new layout and designs in recent episodes. Keep up the great work! Would you be interested in doing another important UK release? Wiley - Godfather. He just got a whole string of awards for lifetime achievements, recognition in the UK urban scene, and also his new album 'Godfather' is actually mental - with some pretty sweet guest appearances, and a shit ton of great production, flows, and rhymes! He's often referred to Grime's godfather if you please, so he's like the UK's grime equivalent to hip-hop's Rakim to make a metaphorical comparison. Be awesome to see what you guys think of it :)

[@NBAJuda]

7:10 Ab-soul These Days was prefect mocking how rappers/music sound today, haven't heard this album though...

[@kingpositivemal]

I'd love to see a review on the new Jidenna- The Chief album that I was definitely surprised by. It is a project that I thoroughly enjoyed.

[@lukejamesbgn]

I feel like this album would've been bad/mediocre from anybody, but coming from Lupe just makes it so much worse. Like Feefo, I listened to this multiple times and it just didn't get any better for me 'cuz it's sloppy as hell. Couple of decent moments here & there but meh.

[@intelligencecycle3523]

Luke James I don't think it's bad as worst Album of the year. too me they're moments where I like but songs I dislike we're over the top. jump, made in USA, dopamine lit are dope, overall he just missed with it. Lasers was worse cause we expect super complex better example this is shape of inconsistency.

[@kindabutnotreally1119]

Luke James i completely agreeee

[@ce2know7]

This album is Lupe using the current climate of rap music to floss his styles as an emcee. This is what HIPHOP purists would have to deal with to make it like oh...JAYz does even Drake...both rappers have excellent skills as emcees, but todays rap fans don't fully give a focused thought to the music they digest. All aspects of HIPHOP culture is deeper than just consumerism...HIPHOP is soul of artistic creatives on display & all the contradictions you go through to get better and help others look at the bigger picture. In short Lupe is keeping his track record going strong, make a mix tape of all his good content and avoid the throwaways...he released enough content. Great review, as always I appreciate the honesty.

[@melo4087]

This is just the Light version.. I can't wait for DROGAS!

[@tangoandcars9588]

Don't give up on Lupe yet, he still got it and Drogas is gonna be lit. 🔥🔥

[@120nsb]

people out here givin' up on lupe acting like he didn't drop two quality projects before this, just 'cause this wasn't all that, it doesn't mean the next one will be as bad, it's lupe bruh

[@DMUSA-gd6kq]

rmsg120nsb Factz

[@MoveTowardsTheLight]

rmsg120nsb I thought F&L 2 was okay. T&Y was straight up fire though.

[@120nsb]

i wasn't even talking about f&l 2 tho, pharoah height ep right after tetsuo & youth

[@MoveTowardsTheLight]

rmsg120nsb Oh, well in that case I AGREE!!

[@SpurOfMoment]

We may look back at this album very differently than the initial reaction. This guy is getting a strong reaction, I think that was his aim. And this album is mostly supposed to set us up for the next two. I prefer this to getting another Tetsuo and Youth to be honest, and am very interested to see what he does next.

[@GerrelG92]

if they don't make a "...but is he rappin'?" t-shirt, it's a missed opportunity. I'd buy that shit right now.

[@UnknownUPO]

I gave up on Lupe like I gave up on Cudi.

[@joshruiz809]

I have Lupe's first two albums but I gave up. He had a such a great start, just like Kanye.

[@UnknownUPO]

Spoiler alert: I listened and it didn't

[@ballerplayapimphuztla]

like the last album he dropped wasn't his greatest

[@Commandosoap777]

didnt like Tetsuo and Youth? and he ment Drogas not Drogas light which is what this album is

[@EagleZtoTheGrave]

This is a warm up man. Listen to his performance in Alabama where he does Promise and Made in the USA, he explains it.

[@justajusttg]

Quelle Chris-Being You Is Great, I Wish I Could Be You More Often, I hope you have a review for this in the near future

[@stephenc1035]

This album is pretty good, but I like Tetsuo and Youth more.

[@stephenc1035]

MF Whom ? I didn't say it was as good as Tetsuo and Youth. I said this album was pretty good(imo), but I like Tetsuo and Youth more.

[@codyle3709]

I didn't like this album at all when I initially listened to it because it was such a departure from Lupe's other content. But once I got over the fact that this was Lupe, I started enjoying for what it was. He still flowing on here. It's commercial sounding but not overly poppy and fluffy like Lasers. It's basically Lasers done right.

[@dfwherbie8814]

You got it. These guys will have you think Sadistik doing Trap shit is cool, but Lupe doing it is bad. See how weird that is?

[@centurysam6679]

After hearing Lupe on that Justice League track 'No Problems' I was hoping to hear him on more hyper beats and he delivered on here. The track 'Jump' sounds so god damn good because Lupe can adapt to a beat like that and still spit bars. I would rather hear a project from Lupe and King Los over Kendrick and Cole. Los and Lupe are extremely versatile when it comes to flows.

[@reedtheroom9580]

[@123sidar]

His flow on jump was insane!

[@rudy4701]

food and liquor 1, the cool, tetsuo and youth, that's it.

[@Brianpeckin]

Food and liquor 2 wasn't bad... I kinda liked lasers tbh

[@lightonorganic4789]

Drogas Waves

[@mickeypierson2]

Listening to all lupe reviews before getting into all his discography! Love food+liquor and the cool, so let's see what sucks so hard about Lasers lol. Bruh "Series of Confusion" Feefo had me dyin!😂😂

[@manikn4585]

Here's his discog ranked for me Drogas wave Tetsuo and Youth The cool Food and liquor Food and Liquor 2 Drogas light Lasers

[@TonyMackSays]

Its called Drogas light... I look at it as a precursor of sorts for Lupe's lighter audience leading up to Drogas which will be more like a Tetsuo & Youth of sorts. This album did exactly what it was supposed to and it executed it well. Drogas will be more the album you guys are looking for and YES..LUPE IS RAPPING ON HERE.

[@AbdullahMikalRodriguez]

I liked it...drogus light intro is one of if not the best track of the year so far

[@tiffkiavon7354]

That album is very dope to me. He dropping all kind of shit in there. I listen almost daily

[@mahe171]

I think that Lupe tried to make an album with a different sound than what he is comfertable with, but he doesn't have the artistical reach to make an album like this imo. The reason I don't like this album isn't because Lupe did it, its because Lupe did it porely and yes he was spitting on this project, but there is more to making good trap songs than spitting.

[@evg0708]

The next album "Drogas" which will be out in a couple months will pull Feefo, B, and Rod back in as Lupe fans. Lupe basically said this is a throwaway album, but Drogas is 11/10 masterpiece. It will be on Tetsuo & Youth, F&L 1, and The Cool level, maybe better.

[@kg3658]

ohh hell yesss!!

[@StupidIsAsStupidDoe2]

I appreciate this album because I get the sentiment. Whoever said this was his "These Days" was right. I'm disappointed that no one discussed the title which has a lot to do with the content.

[@sunnyislam8470]

For what I would call a throwaway album, I thought it was better than expected but still not something I'll really come back to. DROGAS should be where it's at, as Lupe said, "Illmatic meets Illmatic meets Illmatic", so hopefully it's a pleasant surprise.

[@DavidDeanBretton]

i just heard futures mask off beat and if it sounds like that i might be feeling this, i gotta go listen

[@chasewoods8666]

Didn't even listen to this album but I still clicked on the review right away lol

[@av8534]

Chase Woods lmao

[@Vynzent]

I agree with the guy sort of defending the album (don't know anyone's names since I'm new to this channel). It was not what anyone was hoping for, thus everyone immediately decided to hate it. When it first dropped I hated it too. I listened to the album a few times to really digest it and I dig it now to an extent. It's not a throw-away album. The first half or so is great. The pop songs afterward are what killed it.

[@TyshaunLamarDaniels]

Personally I liked "Pick Up The Phone". It was the first song I heard from Lupe after a long while of me NOT listening to him. I thought it was a call back for his old hit "Superstar". Both have the same beat intro and the same artist doing the chorus. I imagine he was trying to create that same reaction Superstar received. If he had succeeded, his album would of probably did better with sales I guess. Either way, it had a simple and meaningful concept, with the beat and flow that reminded me of Superstar. In which led me to start listening to Lupe again, but that's my take on that song. Enjoyed the album for what it was even though I don't listen to trap music as much. Lupe's music always intrigues me even though its not what expect. Liked the video, and subscribed. That is all...

[@MetalOrDeth]

Shoutout to that Michigan shirt Flint feels you.

Tetsuo and Youth is probably his best album and it was his last album tho

Tyrone Omarian no. Food and liquor was his best album. Then his second. Then it went down hill
