I have kinda listened x2 but not on focus.. sounds like he's a bit more litehearted and not as aggressively activistic on this one. no intro from his sister etc etc.. straight into the single on track 1. like you said... fresh.. up beat late 80s... 90s kinda feel.

Okay…. Let’s be real… If we talking lyricism. Lupe is top 5 alive, cadence, similes, schemes, metaphors, diction etc…. Let’s honor being spoiled to witness his art. 2024 is a great year for hip hop

[@Longlivesicko]

He makes great choruses too, alot of ppl talks about his lyricism but his choruses are greatly sequenced

[@dontmugurself]

I agree. I would’ve put KDot on the list too but he’s so caught up in the drama it’s pathetic. Lupe always stayed above the BS and kept in his lane. Kendrick made such a huge mistake even engaging in that beef nonsense. It just turned him into exactly what the industry wants- another puppet. Lupe Forever tho ♾️

[@Advaitamanta]

Top 3 easy. Lupe, Eminem, Nas

[@danielmorris738]

@@Advaitamanta agreed

[@danielmorris738]

@@dontmugurself I agree to an extent, but it kinda hurts the industry as drake is embedded in it and kdot is an independent. It looks surface level but I think it was bound to happen as tension has been between them for a decade. Nonetheless I do think we got good music from it, and some not so good. But for it to end peacefully and no deaths, I can admire the artistry in it. The level of competition is also a part of hip hop.

[@Lionel_Can_Tell]

I've been saying for years that Lupe fiasco was my favorite artist of all time. Back when I first got introduced to him, listening to food and liquor was such a breath of fresh air for me as a hip hop fan. I instantly thought that Lupe has the ability to know what to give to hip hop right when it needs it the most. So now, when I heard the samurai track I knew that this album was going to be special. This album has such a nostalgic feel and this is what hip hop needs right now especially celebrating the anniversary of it. How many hip hop artists can you say that not only have contributed to the hip hop culture but also help teach it to preserve its legacy. These are the things that makes him great.

[@madgamer7931]

I agree with you. Lupe teachings are truly inspiring. I learnt words and concepts from him the school has yet to teach me. Ppl who hate on him just don't want to take the time to break down what he is saying.

@@sora4440 just like you, I first heard you later on touch the sky and I thought it was such a different way to present a verse and instantly caught attention.
