@@jamiemiles5941The comment I responded to referred to Lupe as a true GOAT = Greatest of all Time in a plural sense. Yes I agree "Greatness" is subjective, however GOAT is singular. People misuse the label. If I asked you for the greatest large sedan of 2021. I want the one that ranks above all of the greats. Not 10 different "Goats" based on perspective and opinion.
@@rlmitch3 XD fuck, you're absolutely right. It's hella misused. Kinda like the words love and happiness. Yeah, you enjoy the thing, that person, that song, that food, but to equate it to a sense of love or for it to remind you of happiness, is to put it up against every other thing that made you feel that way. Or am I off?
“My dome golden, my heart bleeds Madison n Homan” As a kid we played ball at the golden dome every damn day. Lupe is a master lyricist. My God that was a dope line.
I can't get over that "Ain't no Food and Liquor 3, we on that medicine and killin" bar. So nasty with it. Produced by the man himself too. So hyped for DMIZ
When you leave a major record label, your music, UA-cam videos aren't distributed and marketed so Lupe is not as popular now as he once was. He is still one of the best for me even with 30k views.
I don't think that's the reason. The fact is that this style of wordy, hyper lyrical hip hop just isn't popular anymore on a mainstream level. It still has plenty of fans who love Lupe and artists like him, but the style just does not have mass appeal and that's fine. If he were on a major label still and being promoted, I don't think it would make much of a difference as far as that goes. The people he makes the music for appreciate and support him.
I just took a look at the views on his more recent songs on UA-cam, from Drogas Wave for example and honestly the views are not bad at all especially for the audio only song "videos". That is just UA-cam, so between YT streaming, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal and other streaming services he's got to be doing pretty well for himself.
He’s a really niche musicia but that’s cool and works. Look at Tool, Dream Theater and a bunch of progressive bands. They only appeal to a small percentage but they’re still legends.
The same song that took me deep back into memory lane... the life of Lupe, now I am down for this superstar lyricist. I am picky with the food of music to digest and Lupe is now part of my favourite. We in it for life. Mad Respect for you @LupeFiasco🔥🔥🔥👊🏼
Lupe will always be my favorite rapper/poet. For life. Glad we moved here from Pittsburgh all them years ago. Though, Ill always love my home state, IL made me the man I am today.
Thank you Lupe, timeless music always speaks for itself...and as you can see you still here homie..all that goofy shit fades as usual #ThankYouForYourLegacy 🖖👌🤌
"I ain't cry when Pac & BIG died (I was too young). And I won't cry when Jay & Em go. And dry eyes, for when Drake die. But I'm a shed some tears when Lu go." Edit: RIP Gangsta Boo
Every day I’m thankful that Lupe is uncompromisingly himself, and still in his prime. It’s getting more rare every year to have MCs like him still doing that
New music Lupe?! Oh mahgaahhhhdd you heard my prayers!!! Lol XD love the flow on this like spoke word for a sec there. And the mystic beat....yess please do keep this I am so ready for more music from you!! 🖤
"Might catch a holy ghost and start speaking in Nas records." a ghost is something that you can't see but a holy ghost is reference to holy=Christ and/or God divide intervention and start rapping Nas Verses Cold bars Lupe.
@@markBalentine123567 I took it more as when people caught the Holy Spirit in the Bible they started speaking in tongues. He’s making nas out to be the equivalent of a godly hip hop figure - and start speaking his lyrics/language
West sideeee represent ✌🏼keep killin it!! Been listening since Words I Never Said ‘11 , growing up in the burbs, and found this through my old liked videos! Keep going Lupe! THIS IS RAP! 🎤🔥

If you feel that Lupe Fiasco is easily one of the greatest lyricist, congratulations my friend, you have great taste.
And also 100% correct
Favorite rapper. Easily
Who cares, enjoy the music and watch your ego.
based taste
I been saying he was the greatest since I was in high school. Nothing has changed, I'm 34 now.
His complexity is what i love most.....no need to help the less fortunate....lu speaks for himself! 2024
After all these years, Lupe still has us chomping at the bit soon as he drops. One Love to a true GOAT!!🙏🏿🙏🏿
FACTSSSSSSS....🤙🏿💯🐐
How many Goats can there be? The word "Greatest" is singular not plural
@@rlmitch3 "Greatness" is a sliding scale. Completely subjective in my opinion.

GOD FUCKING DAMN LUPE
I cannot wait for this album. I’m so pumped. There are only 3 albums I anticipate this year. Kendrick’s album, Lupes album, and Denzels album.
I don't think kendrick is dropping I know he's doing a project with the South park creators.
Damn good too 3
@@jamesjones-ez9ug really? Would never have seen that coming 😂
JID too 🔥
@@junkydluffy eh
He’s really just playing around at this point. This album go be fucking incredible.
“My dome golden, my heart bleeds Madison n Homan”

Thanks bruh. I’m from NC. I would’ve never understood that.
Yessir!!!!
Thanks I’m from cali so yeah
@@GBullockNC same here NC lupe fans!!
Word!!! I used to go on Sundays. They use to run the game clock, and you couldn't get in unless you had an extra pair kicks. (No scuffs on the floor😂)
So smooth and the lyricism is 10/10 per usual.
Chicago legend no doubt
@@wr8thbeatz322 why did you correct him? Lol
"Might catch a holy ghost and start speaking in Nas records." This new Lupe album gon' be fire.🔥🔥
Caught a chill when he said this shit. Sheesh
*Goosebumps*
A foreshadowing of Lupe's illmatic
Why is that line so cold to yall?
@@draenation265 because no one has said it, also in context its an absolute fire bar , Lu wordplay and rhyme pattern is top tier thats not debatable
The absolute GOAT MC! No one's ever done it better
This man’s bars are never a Fiasco. Puts things together, what seems to be so effortlessly. 🔥🔥
Lupe is The Riddler of Rap Music.
This is nice and fully produced by you Lu!!! So dope!! 🙌🏽
He did great fully producing this 👏🏾
@@Sway_Boogie Indeed!!
@@dlbryantart I didn’t kno Lu produced his own music. That’s dope
@@derekhakeem8 🔥 track!
I can't get over that "Ain't no Food and Liquor 3, we on that medicine and killin" bar. So nasty with it.
Produced by the man himself too.
So hyped for DMIZ
The best in the game. Lyrical genius.
This is AMAZING. Easily one of the greatest beats I've ever heard in hip-hop/rap. The synths are SO MONEY
I appreciate the esthetics of it. Wouldn’t go that far as you but applause to Wasalu
Lupe is in a class by himself!
This instrumental is so relaxing to hear, sick🔥💯
“Might catch the Holy Ghost and start speaking in Nas records.” - Ugh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can honestly say I haven't been this excited for an album in a long time!! You inspire me so much Lupe.
CHICAGO LEGEND!! CHI TOWN TILL THE WORLD BLOWS 🌎
And even after that Chicago long lives
Lupe you are the DEFINITION of Be Great and Be Excellent! 🔥🎤🙏🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Drill Music in Zion is gonna be album of the year I can already tell.
Generating Zen with some nice sword practice/ rest in peace Virg LV is Vice Lord backwards 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Washington Blvd and Homan Ave, right here. Westside, with my whole heart!
Never gets old listening to these constructs man. Not trying to teach but teaching 🤙, the real peace!
Thanks for giving us more art!!! Like more art?? Imagine being like , "hey give us MORE ART" as if art isn't enough. We appreciate you Lu
1:26 is heavenly...
Where Austin meets Oak Park ….two different worlds next to each other
Lupe is a diamond amidst all these lackluster so called rappers.
chills are crashing into my goosebumps. NEVER stop Lupe. We love you
Simple flip of the monogram…….to all of the husbands who bought LV purses for wifey…..Long live the King!!!
Lupe legit under rated. Lyricist on the top shelf. Congrats bro on being different 👍 refreshing to hear
As a first-gen Hip Hop lover, Lupe will always be one of my favorite Hip hop artists.
Man is so lyrically inclined that it literally makes my eyes water in amazement 🥺.
You also cried when you hear me giving your Mom backshots to Kick Push on repeat
Robert M 🤢🤮 why you do that man like that

Basketball has M.J.
Rap has Lupe.

Chicago just produces goats.
Oprah, Walt Disney, Barack Obama, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, Ye, "The show goes on".
Amazing job on the production, Lupe. And the track has a lot of heart overall.
You've been one of my favorite artists since I was shown your music back in Madden '04 I think it was, when I was younger. Love your stuff, brother!
I'm thinking like 07 with the instrumental.
So many damn quotable lines but my favorite gotta be "No Food and Liquor 3 we on that Medicine and Killin"
God...that shit is dark
Very
Omg!!! Still greatness!! Thank you Lu
1:24 sounds amazing
Shalom.
Always look forward to Lupe’s work. A master in his craft, indeed.

King Lu!!!! This is the person that we have to protect with our lives💯
Lupe is a brilliant master mind when it comes to this! 🤯
Love this. Love your respect for Aesop Rock too, he's my greatest rap artistic influence
FOREVER MY FAVORITE ARTIST 🤞🏾🔥
Loved the cool mellow beat and dirty flow some of the words Lupe uses make me wanna grab a dictionary though as English is my third language.
"I ain't cry when Pac & BIG died (I was too young). And I won't cry when Jay & Em go. And dry eyes, for when Drake die. But I'm a shed some tears when Lu go."
Edit: RIP Gangsta Boo
Bro is floating to heaven like Enoch. Period.
Every day I’m thankful that Lupe is uncompromisingly himself, and still in his prime. It’s getting more rare every year to have MCs like him still doing that
Damn, ain’t no Food & Liquor 3 😔. He shouted out Gangsta Boo tho!
Lupe Fiasco is Hip Hop's Neo 😁🗡️

What’s does this mean

LeMoyne and Austin is home….so I feel this x1000
He's always incredible, that's the flaw with your comment
How does he sound so perfect on such a beat? He's a God.🤯
Lot of content out of this one I've replayed so many times lol plus the beat reminds me of like the old 90s animes, just smooth.
You a criminal for making us wait this long for another album...quit depriving people of your greatness big man.
thank you for not retiring man you're an idol of mine
Lupeeeee for president…..I miss this feeling of him dropping the gems
"Not at all Prophetic, just 'chauffeurs and a Large Lexus"
Chauffeurs and a Large Lexus can also be heard as Shofars and Allah's Lectures
