[@JJTricksProductions]

Sway needs to have more of these jam sessions. Most refreshing thing I've seen in hip hop in the last year at the least.

[@anthonysmith905]

FoSho.

[@lightonorganic4789]

Amen

[@trillyandtruly211]

Lu snapped.... snapped.... snapped. 🔥🔥🔥 Can't nobody this... I can watch this a million times.

[@jebustavera8132]

Us lupe fans know how fuking meticulous he is even in a jam session lmao

[@myjciskate4]

I don't know lyrically Oswin might be have the hand of lupe. Dude is nasty.

[@trillyandtruly211]

myjciskate4 Oswin is nice but Lu is the GOAT... Oswin knows what's up!

[@samuraisailor4906]

Lupe's bars were used for his song King Nas from DROGAS Wave, incredibly fitting.

[@nkosibuthelezi7160]

Lupe is the G.O.A.T

[@andtheniflew9813]

"You know its real here.... dope fiends still here... " - A REAL LUPE FAN REMEMBER THAT QUOTE FROM THE MIXTAPE SERIES

[@spencewhite9215]

Stafford James haha I was the hoping for the live collab but maybe one of these days

[@dremaricq4559]

Turn around give us the $$ to buy wheels here... give you the chills ya.. ?

[@YungTonyTV]

Lupe set that whole set on 🔥.

[@Alr1ghtyThen]

Lupe is one of those artist that you forget is so nice....until you hear him rap then you remember he deserves a permanent spot in your top 5 rappers.

[@TWIZZTHEWHIZKID]

The Reckless Recluse Facts!

[@cwopre]

The Reckless Recluse very true. People forget about '06-'07 Lu. Understandably so since he kind of fell off musically, at least in terms of consistency. Tetsuo & Youth was a long overdue return to form in my opinion.

[@lightonorganic4789]

cwopre Lasers/FL2 his sound changed and with no surprise he had issues with his label, there’s a difference when Pharrell is producin or Atlantic is tryna push pop records out only.... but lyrically/substance wise he’s never put no whack shit out in the game

[@lashellpitts6651]

I know right 💯💞💞

[@thereef118]

loser

[@HS32153]

Thing about Lupe, if you break his lyrics down they can mean 10 different things. Dudes unreal, and probably the greatest lyricist of all-time...

[@justincarty6359]

To me he is the greatest

[@kenonlattimore]

He is the greatest. Glad more people are acknowledging this.

[@digitalmusicalart3494]

Indeed!!! Been knew!!!

[@NasirJones112]

prolly 1 of the best... id say for me King Los is untouched tho... There is no1 near that man, even Lupe crowned him as the greatest lyricist !! but lupe ripped this shit down !

[@kenonlattimore]

NasirJones112 Lupe said DOOM is the G.O.A.T lyricist.

[@HS32153]

“I got them headphones back, I spit that headphone crack, knock the cord out your headphone jack.” God Lupe relax.....

[@Punjabispitta]

he actually took his headphones off and put em back on too lmao

[@awon_9385]

the way Lu slid in and grab the mic before he started spitten lol

[@PeaceKeepingMissile]

That part was so fire.

[@abdulazizyalahow3238]

Aye

[@gxqx797]

🎧!!I got them headphones back i spit that headphone crack knock the cord out your headphone jack!!🎧Smoothest entry flow ever! Goddamnn effortloss for the man

[@POUNDAGEOLDinspired]

LUPE THE GOAT

[@HS32153]

The competitive fire came out of Lupe, he came to restore order after Oswin and Chris...

[@JWill951]

HS32153 I said that too. Lupe said hell naw, he can’t let Chris Rivers and Oswin outdo him. Lol Lupe killed it. I hope he puts out new music soon. After seeing this, I definitely want to see him live

[@HS32153]

Jarrad Williams He’s a beast live. I first saw live on the Kanye’s Glow in The Dark Tour bout 10 years ago. I thought he had the best show there, Ye just had 10 tines more effects and pyro...

[@JWill951]

HS32153 I figured he would be great live. I bought his second album when it came out. I should probably go revisit it. It was really good. He’s so dope though. He stood out to me the most along with Chris Rivers and especially Oswin.

[@HS32153]

Jarrad Williams Indeed I’ve seen him three times and he killed all three times.

[@JustYohannes]

Lupe is a legend, his flow is straight northern midwest spittn, from ohio to chicago big up to the legend!

[@shanehawthorne1866]

Not a single syllable is wasted. The dude is a master.

[@JustYohannes]

agreed !

[@Punjabispitta]

Chris Rivers killed it, and Lupe, the god emcee back to work!!

[@kudabeen]

Need a Lupe Oswin link up ASAP...

[@KembaWalkerGOAT]

Seriously, Oswin snapped. Like Lupe, he's a super dense lyricist.

[@EagleZtoTheGrave]

for real though

[@missj9879]

King In My Own Mind Yes!

[@gxqx797]

Cook em in the stew; right up in the stu(dio) 🔥🔥🔥 lupe is nuts

[@SleepFan771]

21:50 for Lupe Fiasco!

[@Medinaology99]

W. Jaco defines cheap america speciality of fast food serves. Lupe bargains a menu orders a headless chicken soul' to go into a lost direction of nowhere unknown. Pinata celebrations with plastic wrappers, and hot sauce burning fires of witches self cursed skins. Who the chicken man what a joke*

[@bullitt08]

Lupe the killer

[@devhaynes]

@22:14 now we finally see where this amazing Lu verse is from: King Nas on Drogas Wave! 🔥🔥🔥

[@cafenightster4548]

Damn that building must be fireproof, cuz Lupe set blaze to the mic and that studio. Lupe is always slept on, he never rights verses down.

[@SeanBrownIsHere]

Yoooooooooo!!!!!! Lupe!!!!!!!!!!!

[@In4mous1]

I remember Lupe use to be on the corner everyday Rapping to who ever would listen I knew then he was going to be something special.... salute to you my dude

[@poeticmoralz1697]

Lmao i highly doubt Lu was on the corner of the Westside of the Chi. Stfu

[@mgilbert9004]

@@poeticmoralz1697 facts 😂 made him sound like one of them corner store dudes 😂

[@CACBoi314]

The way lupe starts is just mind blowing. How he just gonna casually start with " ghetto mythologies colonize my mind constantly..." Like chiiiill most niggaz would end their verse with something like this but lupe's flow has this snowball effect to it where it just gets better.

[@westonkillian5552]

Just what I needed this morning like my coffee and one cigarette love love love that dam Lupe I'm going to pay more attention. Thanks Sway

[@savagetaestheticknight221]

Damn Lupe and Rob Glasper. Get it. Shiit.

[@HS32153]

savage t Aesthetic Knight They did about three shows over Grammy weekend.

[@vincentvictorious3131]

Very cool...lupe spliced the cipher...hes too lyrically skilled!

[@justincarty6359]

So awesome, and Lupe wow wow wow

[@est.9868]

NEED MORE OF THIS . Its like a breath of fresh air, rejuvenating to the soul, you know .

[@hiiipoweriii2211]

I'm just in love with Rapsody 😍

[@TheSmilodon85]

If you are what you say you are a Superstar than have no Fear.....HIP HOP CHANGED MY LIFE.

[@jordanisaac2980]

I’m too hype. I only thought part 1 was going to be a video. Y’all keeping the culture alive forreal

[@denrico777]

This shit should have a million views.

[@sassybrown12868]

As a singer.The Hamiltones are everything!!💗 Lupe &Rhapsody🔥🔥

[@2knowledgeable]

This was fire and sad that this doesn't happen on the regular. Lupe is fire and vena love fire

[@afgillu510nist]

Fam, Lupe snapped

[@Moereese0327]

w sadat understatement

[@LilBasedGodSwag]

w sadat fam, that's the best freestyle I think I've ever heard, he just solidified himself in my Top 5

[@Moereese0327]

He been in mine I know certain situations a dude can't get out of and that Atlantic deal fucked him over

[@scottrooney2053]

LilBasedGodSwag to be fair some of it was his verse from dumb it down but still fire

[@Moereese0327]

Scott Rooney only like the eye less part that was it as far as I could tell

[@L.E.D1127]

Need to see more of this perfect for the culture

[@221ddj]

Shout out to Lu for that King Nas preview here. After Drogas Wave, that guy can be considered nothing less than the GOAT right.

[@HS32153]

I wasn’t ready for Pt II smh.....

[@mrmahah9014]

Lu ain't come to play

[@adamo5238]

Sway adores Lupe! Like he should

[@kudabeen]

People forget what Lupe does is incomparable to these dudes...the argument of him vs Kendrick is laughable...two different levels of music...TDE and Kendrick are on a great run and I'm looking forward to this look they are getting with Black Panther, but Lupe has too many milestone memories in music for me...classic tracks...

[@KembaWalkerGOAT]

Lupe is a better lyricist, but Kendrick has the edge in overlaying concepts and general musicality IMO. He makes better sounding music, if that makes sense.

[@danieldemoro2743]

Agreed. Food and Liquor and The Cool are really good albums...but neither have any claim to being a true monumental piece in hip-hop such as good kid or TPAB

[@MentalStillness]

King In My Own Mind I never forgot fam. He has his own lane but bro there are so many mcs who get sleeped down.

[@playmesmthn1445]

I’m a let everyone who replied to this live for now.

[@Wavmagik]

I would have said the same thing if I hadn’t recently looked into Lupe’s discography and realized he’s not only ahead of our time, he’s on a whole different type of time

[@HS32153]

Lu kicked his verse off like 94-96 Nas...

[@Lakeone_]

Wouldn't have been surprised if he initiated with "I dunno how to start this..." lol Once he puts the headphones on you know it's a wrap, like: "got them headphones back / I spit that headphone crack / knock the cord out your headphone jack" - eesh just his freestyle intros go harder than a lot of rappers' written punchline bars, Lupe always been a lyrical GOAT contender no doubt

[@Marc-hb1le]

It’s funny because its from him not yet released songs Titled “King Nas”

[@gjwilliams4098]

'96 Nas was from another planet.

[@lightonorganic4789]

The rest of his verse was off his album where the track is called King Nas... it always layers lmao

[@217Jeezy]

How did this not go viral

[@HS32153]

“I can feel it’s nearness”, been messing me up since 07’. Lu the emperor smh...

[@MrMusicevolution]

Damn glasper and Anthony Hamilton would be an awesome collab.

[@VegasElement]

Please do a live jam session every week! This was great... I'm dreaming up the possible band & artist combinations...the possibilities are endless.

[@theundergroundjuicenyc9539]

lupe and freakin oswin man... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JAndre-hk4ge]

Lupe had to come hard it’s his beat 😂😂✌🏾

[@HS32153]

JEVON DALEY True lol

[@unwrittenbylj]

That's the beat to which Lu song? 🤔

[@unwrittenbylj]

Ohhhh it's a soulful version of Dumb It Down! Got it 😬

[@kingzingo]

Thank god we have Lupe

[@digitalmusicalart3494]

@6:40, Lupe needs to drop his verse from his mixtape. The song Where I'm From.

[@lipsofadon]

This is why I love hip hop. This is why I miss New York. This is why I miss the U.S. Vancouver’s Hip Hop Community Sucks. We need ya’ll to come over the border or I’m just going to have to travel and find you guys. I love this show. Ya’ll keep me up to date and keep me entertained exactly the way I need it. Thanks to Sway and his team. You guys keep me fuelled when I need it.

[@TheDemigodZilla666]

that man Anthony Hamilton's voice is from heaven I swear

[@SaSouljah]

Lupe seen oswin and Chris just kill that Mic and was like nahh they ain't gonna burn me like that and was like let me get these bars in real quick

[@terrelljenrette5122]

lancesamals they started off written and then switched to freestyle on part 1. Lupe was freestyling the whole time on part 1.

[@SaSouljah]

terrell jenrette oh really I didn't know ......whats that got do with what I said?

[@terrelljenrette5122]

Im saying that why he turned up the heat on this one.

[@SaSouljah]

terrell jenrette Oh got ya

[@HS32153]

It’s almost like he said let me “restore order here. Y’all can’t see me” lol

[@rmyrie5963]

Lupe is just different ....

[@mamarha2011]

Nothing beats raw live talent presenting itself. I'm grateful for the opportunity to receive this blessing. Thank you SITM!

[@ScreamGeronimo]

Hate to sound like a Hip Hop purist, but this is Hip Hop at its purest. It's live, something created in the moment from absolute scratch. Fun for the entertainers AND the audience. Love it, man.

[@jahlay16]

this just made my day!!!!!!! that bass at the end.......vicious!!!!!

[@CamFunkShun]

Sway BEEN puttin on for the Bay! Much love! And this session was nothing but good vibes and good energy! Really appreciate what everybody brought to this!

[@odefeoberabor7597]

RHAPSODY. REAL FREESTYLE! !!!!!!!!!

[@str8spittin]

I React to Everything ! : 4real 4real...gotta love Rapsody 4 da raw!!!!

[@merik1991]

Lupe was really feeling Chris and why wouldn’t,he had to snap after him that young boy is crazy!

[@justinboston8165]

This is child's play for Lupe. No one is touching him when he wants to do it. No one.

[@SubZero-zm3yh]

All I see is Lupe comments which is nice and all but stop sleeping on my boy Oswin Benjamin he is a lyrical juggernaught! 🔥🔥🔥 you need to go deep into his bars

[@mnorwo2]

Lupe KILLED this one! Chris had part 1!!

[@scottrooney2053]

Other than Lupe that instrumental at the end was the highlight. So fire shoutout to B Hodge

[@312DOZIER]

Now this is what you call a Jam session 👏🏾👍🏾✊🏾👊🏾

[@TheTibbzify]

Lupe was in beast mode! probably the best flow I have ever heard..... Very few rappers could match this

[@petepuma6483]

LUPE & CHRIS RIVERS! Dropped mic!

[@MichaelCobbs]

Nice video. Lupe went in.

[@cmoney-kd6xx]

Lupe pretty showing robert glasper should of have chose him over common to do the collab album.

[@LenFnc]

c3 money 180 It was a joke. Rob and Lupe are best friends. So it wasn’t a real jab at him. Plus, Lupe and Com are super close as well.

[@cmoney-kd6xx]

Len F. Im joking in how he murdered the cypher.

[@LenFnc]

My good family!

[@brandoncallegari7614]

THIS is hiphop.....much love to y'all for doin This!

[@carlosn.765]

Been waiting so much for this part 2 , part 1 was amazing

[@Well_da]

That Vina Love and Chris Rivers switch is the fucking shit. Much respect.

[@kelseygiddings2713]

4 times a year!!! and my soul could rest easy.

[@DRIPPIINK]

Exactly what the community needs. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kudabeen]

Need to check into this Vina Love...Sway is very disciplined and respectful...I'll say that...big voice.

[@terrelljenrette5122]

King In My Own Mind thats what I said

[@simbadraven5915]

The marvelous and wonderful feeling this gives me is hard to describe at the moment. This is BEAUTIFUL.

[@TWIZZTHEWHIZKID]

I'm only here for Lupe.

[@money763]

Twizz The Whiz Kid ok

[@miamia1952]

I love this guy, Lupe Fiasco 😍

[@JordanClemons]

It's crazy that Lu and Rapsody has never collab'd

[@dannystevens2900]

Jordan Clemons I thought Rapsody did his album intros I could be wrong but if I am they sound the same

[@oujamarek1402]

That was Lupe’s sister on the intros

[@vladimirklizschko9337]

It is kinda crazy.

[@myjciskate4]

What's even crazier is that he's never worked with OSWIN

[@gtown876]

Ouja Marek Aisha Jaco right?

[@conscious_code]

I'm Robert Glasper's face at 15:25 and Sway's face at 23:00 through this whole thing (Part I & II)

[@kjsakuma]

This was so memorable salute to everyone involved. So much talent in one room, my jaw would've dropped if I was there.

[@Matt_Underwood]

Guys 2 things. 1st: This is Lupe going easy. 2nd: He referenced Dumb It Down. You gotta recognize those specific raps

[@donttripp]

Matt Underwood that's a crutch for a lack of bars....just like when Tay Rocc the battle rapper used to say, "that's light" after his filler bars.....

[@PlayaflyJoe27]

donttripp Lupe being at a loss for flows is like a fish forgetting how to swim. Stop hatin

[@Matt_Underwood]

Perosnally, I think Dumb it Down is one of Lupe's best song, so if he references that song, I couldn't give a single fuck in the world. Also, a lack of bars? Watch Lupe freestyle at Sway in the morning, there are 2 separate videos of Lupe spitting bars from the top of his head. When he freestyles, he freestyles, see if you notice a lack of bars

[@donttripp]

playaflywill27 how basic is it to first call me a hater.....is that not the first go to when someone disagrees with the average?? As a fan I can't express my displeasure with this specific performance?? Relisten and you will see he kept rapping filler and going back to that ego stroking hook.....did he not prove WHY he was not chosen for the album over Common...

[@PlayaflyJoe27]

For you to say Lu using old lyrics as a crutch is dumb as shyt and sounds like hate. Apparently you didn't see him go completely off 10 minutes before this part 2 you just seen. Wasn't no filler. It was a jam session.... You HATER!!!

[@chimollkampret]

what's grammy?? we got SITM Jam Session!

[@DvonParker]

Lupe is amazing

[@kingzingo]

He should record it as dumb it down v.2

[@thecoach11]

Pure African Soul in this room ! Our ancestors would be proud

[@mlemarcel]

Lu said oh y’all got writtens? Lol

[@mattyepez]

KING NAS ! Haaa love Lu.

[@Woopo83]

Thank you Sway. That was amazing and much needed

[@seekerbahama]

yooooooooooooooooooo - THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS - THE TALENT LEVEL IN THE ROOOM IS ON SOME HEAVEN SIDE STREET STUFF!!! & I LIVE IN THE BAHAMAS - SOOOOOOO ........

[@joanstone5981]

Loving It.REAL MUSIC REAL TALENTS !!!

[@sirvanghazi9429]

if lu and glasper made an album together it would be unbelievable.

[@brentc5288]

Damn this jam session was legendary. Dope to see everyone push each other.

[@queenjee8570]

Warms my soul. Thanks for this

[@antonioaugustine948]

Greatest show for awhile . Soul & love . A holy blessing ....word life !!!
