Random Side Note.... I respect Logic because on Ultra 85, while rapping about his flow, he said "This that Lupe from 06, This that Lupe from Last week," meaning he knows Lupe is still killing it...
I have two daughters, 19 and 17, and I'm proud of them every time I hear Lupe in their Playlists. From "he gets the girl" to "on Faux nem", best hip hop artist alive, full stop.
I lost my grandmother this past summer, and that Samurai album got me through some of my darkest hours! Something in his wrds stuck with me heavily. Driving through the streets of Cincinnati in the late night hours in disbelief that my girl is gone! That album was there.
@courteousanalyzer... Thanks for your words, and sorry for your loss. A piece of my soul died that day, and I'll never get it back. I'm trying to stay prayed up. Be well, fam!
Lupe is always a great interview, but whenever ppl go on here, Sway's experience really shows. He just knows how to pull out these moments from his guests that others couldnt
LUPE FIASCO DEFINITELY NEEDS HIS PROPS, FLOWERS AND RECOGNITION WHILE HE'S HERE HE'S SO UNDERRATED AND I FEEL LIKE MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE HOW MUCH OF A LYRICIST HE AND HE STILL IS TO THIS DAY ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@mlp573 he definitely did. Royce bodied him bar for bar. Lupe's diss wasn't anything special. It was basic. Royce has word play, entendres and his punchlines landed.
I’ve said it many times; Lupe is the most gifted emcee of all time. His subject matter is unmatched! Killing ops, being a playa, bragging about money and being a tough guy is all off of Lupe’s creative table. Look how he manages to be a rapper w out that!
@40:54 is PRICELESS!! I know that person feels special!!! Props to the team for playing the song. Props to Lu for what he did @40:54 10.6.2024 est@1702hrs NYC
Lupe is def in my top 5. Lyricism and prowess on a track matters more to me than sales figures. Its the x factor that cant be manipulated and controlled by execs outside the culture.
Still bumpin SLR3 1/2 😂 those Covid talks and all the loosies and that whole back and forth is what solidified me as a Lupe “Stan” (Stan in quotes because I still got criticisms for all my favorites artists but I did a deep dive into his catalogue after that and really became a huge fan).
@@maximedore3761 That line is so true though, because I’m an English major and have so much trouble deciphering the shit he says, but that’s part of the fun!
It is wild. At the moment when Lupe mentioned that he learned martial arts from his dad, I noticed his hands and knuckles. The conditioning is real! Salute to Lupe! 🫡
@@osirisra1476 Not sure what you consider a ‘miss.’ But dude has made more than enough records that transcend music. I can’t think of an artist that has more substance.
I ain’t even started the interview yet, all I’ve seen is titles and WHERE IS THE LIE PLEASE? 🤷🏾♂️🔥🔥 he’s one of the most special mc’s we’ll ever witness!
I will forever wish that we got CRS with Lu,Ye & P. I wanted to hear him spit on 2000s era Kanye West & Neptunes production for a full project since high school 😭 never gone get that,i know….
I will always have Lupe in my top 5 rappers all time specially when it come to the real skill of rap, lyricism, and all that it embodies! Lupe been that dude on all levels of rap and his song “Murals” is a perfect explanation! To me that is a top 3 best rap songs ever made! From the technical ability, to the story telling, to the vibe and the message, to the entendres, the wordplay, the literal everything, there is no flaw in that song and has every single element of rap/hiphop😮💨
And they question when I say hes been the G.O.A.T!!! Fresdtyle at the end was masterful!!!! Shout out to my boy Osyris Antham as well being the toighest frreestylwr in the world. I agree💯💯💯💯💫
@freemoves9610 nah Lupe didn't say Los is better than him. He was talking about the only nga he is wary of because King Los has a mind and thought process that's hard to figure out. So you don't know which angle he going to come at you from.
I WANT TO HOPEFULLY DO SOME MUSIC WITH LUPE FIASCO ONE DAY IF THAT'S POSSIBLE AND PLUS I'LL EVEN SEND HIM SOME BEATS FOR HIM TO DO SOME SONGS ON TOO AS WELL
Once I heard that touch the sky mixtape Lupe has been my favorite artist since, then I seen him perform live in Indianapolis and that solidified his greatness to me👑🙌
Lupe’s dad was my brother and all 60 of my cousins teacher lol he was a super tough guy but a beautiful soul great guy may he rest in peace inshallah
Damn
Love to you all
Peace and light to you and your family brotha.
🙏🏽🙏🏽 may him & the family stay blessed, eternally.
Wow, well, That’s…SUPER COOL! Lol!

Lupe All time favorite song is Cup of Jayzus! Lyricism at it's peak perfection 💯 !!!
Yeah, but Logic is trash.
@insayno commercially maybe. but nahhhhhh
Mural is to this day my favorite display of lyricism
💯💯
Seen him spit this live in concert without missing a bar. Do you know how HARD that is to spit live!?!?! Without lip synch 🧐
If anyone was to ask me what is the best example of rapping, I go to Mural or It Aint Hard to Tell
@@uncommonsenses8248 Solid pairing!💯🔥
Oooh you need to here Cake
Whoever put the Lupe "Ha ha ha ha ha" superstar sound bite on the 1s and 2s is a GOT DERN FOOL lolll

That might’ve been DB.
Man, got me rolling on the floor

Raising em right. Each one, teach one💯
Whooooaaa He gets the girl is a fucking Bop
Nobody is making art like Lupe Fiasco is. I can't even begin to describe just how mind blowing his works always are.
I second that.
I lost my grandmother this past summer, and that Samurai album got me through some of my darkest hours! Something in his wrds stuck with me heavily. Driving through the streets of Cincinnati in the late night hours in disbelief that my girl is gone! That album was there.
Lost my grandma 2 years ago. Still hurts like it happened yesterday. Take care homie, keep your head up. 🙏

For real, Lupe's best interviews are always with Sway
Im here cuz Lupe Is one of the Best MC's Alive
Lupe himself claims that King Los is better than him.
@@Vreze its called passing the torch
Go listen to KA, then let me know, peace

He gets them flowers bruh ,, as long as people like me n u are here 🫱🏿🫲🏾🫡
Most realize it just he don't have that it charisma.
Royce bodied him tho
Lupe a hater, fake smart woke ahh clown. He want KDOT clout so bad. He really goofy fr.
True don't worry us as his fans will push for him to keep getting his flowers bro
"Ive won many things Ive done but this one here....this one takes the cake" Lupe is forever immortal people really underestimated him.
Sway is such a great interviewer. True talent. So natural. He focuses on the guest. Heather adds just the right flavor!
"so royce didn't know what he was in for" lmfao sway had to let that go
Facts
Royce bodied him tho
@@QuillyMundo7 he did not

Lupe’s latest run solidified him in my book. He a goat and a true steward of the game 💯💯
“That doesn’t sound like a villain.” Damn Sway! That hit me.
The greatest lyricist of all time, no debate
He's my GOAT without a doubt.
Stoked to see him back on here. Getting ready for this one.
I was in Ghana blasting "The Cool" on my Ipod Nano back in 2007 :D
Real. 2013 on my Galaxy S1
That was me in Zimbabwe
Camera clarity is 💥
60fps changes everything

Lupe Fiasco most definitely one of the greats. In my top 3 lyricists of all time.
Same here 🇿🇦
Same here
Facts
Cosign
Thats a short list geez
Yall couldnt understand how important this man is to whats coming in the game.
He made 🥷🏿 listen.
Food & Liquor had no wasted bars.
Lupe made me think different at 10 and life ain’t been the same since
Why do I feel every Lupe fan has a similar story.😂😂
that damn intruder alert song
Word
Dawg same here. When FNL dropped in the 6th grade, it shaped my ear. Good stuff
"he just sits and watched the people in the boxes"...stop watching T.V because of that song
Lupe for real freesryling 💯 🐐
Off the dome !!!!
It is wild. At the moment when Lupe mentioned that he learned martial arts from his dad, I noticed his hands and knuckles. The conditioning is real! Salute to Lupe! 🫡
If you don't believe him, listen to Drogas Wave. Really listen. Amazing work.
Crazy American History there in Lupe's dad, those that came before and after, black and asian people that inspired Lupe. 🙏
the interview to watch from start to finish to understand to gem at the end . absolute excellence !
😂 The timing on that lupe drop, "Ha ha haha haaa," had me in tears real quick!
Superstar" That Have No Fear 😂😂💯
I really need to see Lupe in concert already
He’s phenomenal live!
Going to see him in Boston tonight!
I’m seeing him in Columbus, OH in December ❤
It’s worth it. Ima see him live every chance I get
He is incredible live. Been a fan of his writing and creativity since day 1 but the live MC portion of his game doesn’t get enough props
Dont understand how people got lists without Lu at top 5. Its impossible son
If he’s not #1 or #2 I never get it him & NAS is neck & neck. God tier.
He's kinda boring/preachy and very hit-or-miss tbh.
@@JamesJordanbestnetworkeralive exactly 💯💯
@@osirisra1476 Not sure what you consider a ‘miss.’ But dude has made more than enough records that transcend music. I can’t think of an artist that has more substance.
@@osirisra1476for you. Dude has layers, you must like surface level raps.
Amazing. His lyricism a guide that carries you for the lifetime ride , a mentor on the side, and you become like a high tide! 🙏🏾
If Lupe was considered top 5 by everyone that publicly talk about rap, he would be dramatically underrated.
Give Lupe his flowers. Such an amazing artist man. Lupe, Aesop, Nas, Kalki, Stranded.
Jam baxter also 😉
aesop is so boring to me tbh. like his lyricism is great but the songs as a whole package just never hit for me
So much for no more interviews, I'm glad you're back LUPE! 🎉
Lupe is the lyrical goat 💪🏾
1 of ..def
I ain’t even started the interview yet, all I’ve seen is titles and WHERE IS THE LIE PLEASE? 🤷🏾♂️🔥🔥 he’s one of the most special mc’s we’ll ever witness!
Lupe is the greatest ever
Last man standing who can still free style off the dome... Spitfire Brown could throw that fire frfr 🌪
He not fw me tho in that off the top freestyle
Lupe is built different. His dad was a beast!
You knew him ?
@d3arb0rns No, I didn't know him. I am just basing my assumptions on what Lupe is saying.
Lazers is an under appreciated gem
It’s aged well
It has
Drogas wave
Drill Music In Zion
Samurai
All true artistic masterpieces and he proved he could survive in the independent space. Lupe is a legend
Pharaoh Heights was excellent as well
Word
@@Insubordinatenyc2 his mixtapes are a whole other level.
I will forever wish that we got CRS with Lu,Ye & P. I wanted to hear him spit on 2000s era Kanye West & Neptunes production for a full project since high school 😭 never gone get that,i know….
Maybe ONE DAY DAWG! It won’t be ‘06 them but imagine a Vultures Ye’, Samurai Lu’ and a present day Pharrell EP! We gotta keep asking for it!
@@myles4193 bro CRS is child rebel soldier its what they talked about in the interview
This guy is something special to the art of Hip Hop. I hope many hear or list to how his thought process works towards music.
Top 5 all time
He's not checking enough boxes!!!! 😎
🎯🎯🎯
Lupe and Will-I-Am need to work together on a few projects ASAP! Loved the show
I Was Just Listening 2 Sunshine 2night 💯🔥 Lupe More Than A Lyrical Genius 🔥🔥
Love you lupe, been a fan since 05. Never knew hip hop could be written like that until i heard this man right here
Lupe is so nice.
such an amazing talent, forged thru sheer hard work and determination. love you Lupe!!!
Rakim, K rino. Lupe, Scarface ,Pac. LL. All Greatz and Much More. HIPHOP4EVER.

My favorite MC of all time. Before him I knew some rappers but he changed it all for me.. food and liquor 😮
Lupe fasho a 🐐 lyricist
Lupe Samurai album is a classic
Lupe's freestyles on Sway are favourites 🔥🤯
“out of the trillion of numbers thats in the world just leave me a few, that lead to you”
Since 2006 I've been a fan of Lupe, seen him live four times and this man never fails! He is truly a goat! Give him his flowers! 🐐💯
I like how Sway asks about, CRS helll yes.
The 1 of the few Lyricists who would end and shutdown Eminem 🫡🔥🔥🔥
I will always have Lupe in my top 5 rappers all time specially when it come to the real skill of rap, lyricism, and all that it embodies!

Lupe has been my favorite rapper for years now. Now more than ever. Samurai is fire.
Give the man his flowers, Droga Waves is one of the greatest albums ever 🔥🔥🔥
That Drogas Wave concert in NYC was fire, one of Lupe's best albums besides F&L an The Cool
Lupe officially became my fav rapper when I heard cake. He snapped.
Even Lupe’s off the top freestyles has multiple themes and entendres embedded. Genius
Bro deserves way more than one hour interviews
Can't Lie I Came 4 The Bars .. Let's Go 🎉
Lyrical Master Jedi wordsmith , Lu . One of the greats 🔥 🔥🔥
That off the top was everything beautiful!
Lupe definitely top tier.
Aesop Rock, Lupe, and Andre 3000 will be my top MCs forever i think
Lupe is one of the coolest people alive
And they question when I say hes been the G.O.A.T!!! Fresdtyle at the end was masterful!!!! Shout out to my boy Osyris Antham as well being the toighest frreestylwr in the world. I agree💯💯💯💯💫
Sway please get Lupe and King Los on the same show 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
King Los earlier this year tweeted about being salty that Lupe turned down a feature request
I have heard him speak good of Los in recent times I hope they got past the feature issue and give us some magic
Lupe for some reason not doing features like that. But lupe did say that king los is better than him. So I'm sure they are cool
@freemoves9610 nah Lupe didn't say Los is better than him. He was talking about the only nga he is wary of because King Los has a mind and thought process that's hard to figure out. So you don't know which angle he going to come at you from.
@@ImInYourBrains I've heard him recently say daylyt king los and others are better. I think I heard him say what you said as well.
Lupe is prolly the best rapper ever
Lupe the only rapper that makes me read the bars. Super Cold. Own Lane
Incredible interview
Good to see Lupe back here. I was sad when he said he wasn't going to do any more interviews
Thats dope, I incorporated that Sunshine song into my wedding vows and me and my groomsman sang the hook…
If the samurai tour goes to your city please go.
I WANT TO HOPEFULLY DO SOME MUSIC WITH LUPE FIASCO ONE DAY IF THAT'S POSSIBLE AND PLUS I'LL EVEN SEND HIM SOME BEATS FOR HIM TO DO SOME SONGS ON TOO AS WELL
Man, Lupe will always seem to me like this cool kid. Seeing him as a more mature person makes me feel old.
Love when Sway and Lupe link up
Lupe you are the GOAT
One of my top 10 all time favorites
Gratitude
Good content! It's always a breath of fresh air seeing Lupe Fiasco. Samurai album 🔥🔥🔥
The greatest MC to bless the mic
Lupe Fiasco might put out an album rapping in Japanese one day.
Minus well 😂 nobody really listening to him in English so….
