This is one of my favorite Lupe Fiasco songs in a while and this breakdown was incredible. I’ve been loving the breaking down of the wordplay on the right side and I thought what you did with the chorus was super cool and fit its atmosphere. My one and only gripe with this is that the white text is near impossible to see because it’s now a gray really close to the background color.
@@Spited The text in between rhymes I mean. When you highlight them there’s a faint gray outline. It’s to show that they are a part of the rhyme scheme but they don’t rhyme. You usually make it white, which stands out, but for this video it looks like a light gray that is really close to the tone of the background.
@Athazagoraphobia365 Ah I see what you mean. Yeah I had to make it less visible, because people kept confusing it with actual rhyme colors. I'll bump up the opacity on it a little bit next time. Thanks for the feedback 🫡
I didn't know that Lupe released an album last year. I'm impressed by this song so I'm gonna check the Samurai album out. Thank you, Spited, and happy new year.
Oh yea, you rock, that's what we needed to start the year strong 😄 Good track that should get pick, never enough of Lu. I like the editing too, with the side notes and all. Peace!
Each verse represents a different stage in the career of a rapper. third verse is legend status, less active in the rap game and mostly living off your legacy of hit records and classic songs some that might even be so classic the emcee should be at a certain caliber to even think about sampling ie. kick, push. 2:38
Even Ocean made one video on this track back in June when the album came out! Anyways, great choice! Also, grear editing style! ❤ Make one video on [stranded] as well, please! 🥺
I'm late to the party but, Spited, have you checked out Doechii? I just watched the "DENIAL IS A RIVER" music video and I never been entertained in years.
Need to correct a reference. The song Tyrone is by Erykah Badu, not Lauryn Hill.
Hoooly shi- my brain worked on autopilot that day. Thanks for pointing that out 🙌
Great verse to start the year
absolutely🔥

Thank you! You mean the text on the right side is hard to see or which one?
