Lupe is back to interviews... Cool

[@ronaldomalcom4768]

@Jackson Gilmore absolutely. let's pretend I am exactly that clever.

[@thomaswayne2076]

We knew he would be lol Look at you emotional 😂😂

[@ronaldomalcom4768]

@@thomaswayne2076 what can I say I have issues with people abandoning me. My wife went to go get her sunglasses and I was absolutely inconsolable for three whole minutes.

[@screamingeagle11b]

Lupe Fiasco and Nas are my favorite MC's of all time!

[@Talib23401]

Same here man. Hearing Nas big up Lupe was seeing the stars align

[@phillygilbert5565]

Same here my dude!!

[@yourdestiney]

Me too

[@thenewthought86]

Mine too. Lupe is possibly the most slept on MC of all time

[@rainman415]

Doom and Lupe for me.

[@malakhaipearson]

Lupe is one of the greatest ever...happy to hear him candidly here.

[@kbailey1283]

Man if Nas and my boy Lupe do an EP?! It's game over man lol

[@bmn1326]

We'd be dissecting the songs for the next 3 decades, if not longer

[@mcfriedchicken1972]

It's like Kendrick and j Cole doing a collab project but one isn't getting washed on every track

[@_IsrealPerez]

@@mcfriedchicken1972 oof i mean its true but it still hurts

[@JahovazWhiteness]

I hope it happens. Maybe Lupe can bring that ridiculously descriptive Nas back.

[@simoa2663]

8 years too late. It would be a flop

[@bwoodsjr]

This EP is a VIBE!!

[@FinanceOptimum]

*Lyrical genius - one of the best to ever do it*

[@scelomnisi80]

Lupe and Nas would mos def be game over.

[@Donutsoverdosed]

With Mos Def yasiin bey

[@Christofamoltisanti77]

Lupe the best lyricist of all time. Goat

[@Hideotic]

I agree

[@mikee3261]

J Lee who’s better Canibus ? Or somebody like that lol

[@the77th]

dirk diggler black though

[@fairplayterrific147]

ST😒P IT.....

[@seancagney1369]

He is great and his fans might think so, but he is not. He is up there lyrically though for sure. He doesn't have the classic albums some have though that sets him apart, he has some good albums but which one is epic? Which one is Illmatic? Reasonable Doubt? Paid In Full? Soul On Ice?

[@GJones712]

Glad we got this explanation from Lupe.

[@a-aura]

Lupe fiasco got us on a cliffhanger at the end haha

[@khalilshabazz7702]

Peace to Lupe Fiasco and his magical pen game. Will be studied by the babies. Thanks for giving healthy music for the mind and soul. Salaams.

[@wesleymemenon683]

You might have to pull your pen out like Grenades!!!! Barz!!!

[@bmn1326]

@@wesleymemenon683 all respect cause I think Lupe is the best lyricist of all time, but that bar is extremely similar to Em on Yah Yah

[@tonyward5280]

@@bmn1326 Lupe actually used that though before on F&L 2 "Judge won't pull em out the pen like a grenade" via "Autoban Ballroom"

[@AgentMcQueen]

He's looking well.

[@KingLoDaTruth]

I LOVE LUPE FIASCO

[@edbtz123456789]

Legendary EP

[@ROXXXTEADY]

“Life Is Short” would be a great title to this NaS Lupe collab EP

[@ronaldomalcom4768]

Tell me more about the Amy winehouse joint tho

[@nicklasprince]

Lupe is the GOAT in my eyes and i finally understood the Dinosaur paralell, dinosaurs came in all shapes and colors just as humans, and here with this man made Virus we are slowly killing ourselves becoming dinosaurs for the future as we will become extinct in this pace! Briliant again from Lupe

[@controversialmann5345]

I wish lu would rap more about his personal life we never really got much of that.

[@user-pc5dk7gp4b]

Lupe is the #1 lyricist

[@demetriusbryson1706]

Nas & Lupe are My Two Favorite EMCEES EVER...!!!

[@GoodxJ]

peace & love yo! Been listening since Food & Liq!

[@justincarty6359]

Nice one Ebro, Lupe the Killer

[@ScreamGeronimo]

Super dope EP

[@TChaositself]

Nas and Lupe on an Amy Winehouse project would be perfect. Nas was Amy's favorite rapper. She did a song about him on every one of her albums. Lupe got his "first/last name" concept from Nas. It's.. It just has to happen lol

[@GilC1992]

Nas... answer that man lol

[@nybam9123]

GOAT

[@rubenndeanpaulalws1177]

I`m a super fan!

[@quailbanks4483]

Virgil is a legend Rihanna knew about it first and now it's a wildfire😎

[@zgsfreaky9102]

Wait the same dude who donated 50$ against covid relief that sells 2000$ sneakers? Virgil is a clown

[@blackmanbegins]

Word is he pledged more to bail funds & others privately, just didn't post it right? @@zgsfreaky9102

[@kamus365]

One of the most thoughtful emcees of our generation. He’s so far ahead of mostly all rappers conceptually. I wish more rappers made concept joints.

[@Kingbertie91]

Amy Winehouse and skulls coming, Lupe fans been waiting for skulls for a while

[@kbtokyo]

A genius!

[@brandypopejohnson2072]

we need an em and Lupe collaboration also it would be cool if Lupe and Kanye collaboration again

[@wesleymemenon683]

Nope!

[@DrewTubeSkyWalker]

I was hyped when I thought Nas was gonna be on Drogas Wave, when I heard "King Nas" (which was a dope song regardless) now that Lupe has confirmed it now, I'm hyped again...Two of my favorite rappers on the same song would be epic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nas better respond God damnit!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@i-zarrradio7423]

Lupe outchea getting me excited for nothing

[@devinwilliams1397]

I thought first and fifteenth was his own label. Why does he have to ask for permission. Is it about categorical criticism or are you really not independent

[@jman1562001]

Not permission to put his music out , but more so be respectful of the time of people who works for him at the label.....they got deadlines and things to do too so it's in the best interest to make to complete the projects so that every party involved can benefit

@@sdotagain312 are you on drugs nas is best ever

[@sdotagain312]

@@danielharrell387 He is but Lupe lyrics are on another level in my opinion. Nas is the best overall rapper but Lupes rhymes are a bit more complex and layered. you can't deny that. Nas doesn't have a Mural in his catalogue.

[@zgsfreaky9102]

Sdot Bdot I always feel like thats why certain famous artists dont work with the underground lyricists. Nas and Jay-z are great but lets be real they want no smoke from Lupe or Black Thought or even King Los. I hate that about rap, too much egotripping and anxiousness for getting outrapped.

[@stevencross4252]

Nas don't wanna have to keep up with lupe on a whole EP ;)

[@seancagney1369]

I am pretty sure he could do that man ;)
