Pure, unadulterated genius here. Lupes approach to lyrics is on point! He may not put out a club banger, but he will drop a knowledge bomb that'll leave a mushroom cloud on your dome. Lol
EagleZtoTheGrave I remembered he dropped this on sound cloud randomly 2 years back (around the same time of the #DROGAS unofficial mixtape). I was blown away
I listened to alot of rappers, but I've always had my standouts that I favored. Im 35 now so it started with Kris Kross and Michael Jackson when I was like 6 or 7. From there it was Bone in mid 90's, then Eminem, Fabolous and Brotha Lynch late 90's into 2000's and local artist here in Kansas City high school years. Then Wayne around 03, then like 07-08 it was Lupe and King Los. All this while never neglecting my previous favorites.I always bumped the hell out of a wide variety too tho from UGK, Jay Z, Wu-Tang, Pac, Twista, Crucial Conflict, Outkast, Eightball and MJG, Nas, Busta, Snoop, Facemob, No Limit etc... Now at 35 I enjoy all the music I grew up on and some of the new artist is good. But now I go back to my parents music alot, 60's and 70's soul music, Disco and Soft Rock. I love good music, if its good its good idc who it is.
Everyone : " my top 5 is ....... " Me : " where's Lupe? " Everyone : " lol the nerd who skates " ? Me : ( shows them this and mural ) Next day Everyone : " Wanna go skating " ? Me : " After you .... Drogas " !
I first heard Lupe in 06 and I always thought his delivery was clean and that his lyrics had some real insight. I haven't heard anything by him in years being that I listen to so much music. This is actually the first time I've heard this track and I got to say. He killed it on this one.
He is the only artist I had to go to rap genius for! This has earned my respect him and his lyrics, not to say Kendrick, but GodDam Lupe!!! THIs is WHY he is my favorite MC!
Lupe one of Goats in the Hip Hop Farm - Definitely Top Ten of all time- Badlands Loves Lupe - Bumped in TO DOOM the greatest Rappers Colide- This Track is Legendary Guys----Peace
What's funny is Lupe dropped this originally on August 12, 2013 which was 1 day before The Control Verse lol... If Lupe would have waited and used this as a response to Kendrick Verse he woulda probably ended his career. This track destroys all the other responses lol...to bad it went under the radar 😔
@@OracleEND I mean not everyone has time to analyze octuple entendres and pick apart the fifth hidden meaning that's woven into the structure of the song that makes each line each a different new undiscovered literary device, while the rhyming words form an acrostic if listened to backwards gives you Kendrick's entire control verse but in spanish... I mean good rapping is cool too. I'll take Kendrick personally
@@cbchansey6866 And I have nothing but respect for your opinion. Not about to bitch like the rest of these females over opinions now a day's lol. You got it dawg.

“Feet like why you running behind these ninjas they still trying to step inside ya prints, bear trap rap don’t step inside the clinch, where dat at jeopardize a better stride for limps” 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Everytime Lupe says "peace of paper cup of jayzus blah blah blah..." I think he sets up a general theme topic or reference point that he uses for the next few bars. At least thats what I heard. This track is a monster. Yet he still topped it with Mural lol
he's spitting about his dream of becoming a rapper, had his dreams set, and all he wanted to do was rhyme but then he had to become a Mason learned secrets and became a little iffy cause he step into the game just to spit. if you heard Lupe first mixtapes it was about everything these rappers talked about but he realized it's not what he wanted. he switched up his style to be different from the world but ppl still misinterpret what's he was saying. he got tired of the game and ppl worrying about who the best. He saying he already knows he's better than all the rappers out there including Drake. I mean I'll write an essay by the time I finish breaking down this song lol but this was awesome indeed.
yes he was, until he wanted to get out the game and his pov changed. especially after Obama invited him to the white house for a performance. now ppl are starting to see what he's talking about.
Lets go...Real Hip Hop ova here! Go get ya guy that's on the radio right now...go get 5 of them and holla at me. I'll bring Lupe and watch them all sit on the sidelines wondering who gone go next! LUPE!!!!!
+Terrius “Tlynch” Miller check out timesnuroman's channel, he's got some incredible lyrical break down videos on about 18 lupe songs. If it wasn't for missing "menstrual" on his Dumb it Down breakdown, I'd think it was lupe himself. I have no clue how he catches all the entendres and metaphors
PEOPLE WHO CALL A SONG WEAK: THEY DON'T LIKE THE INSTRUMENTAL AND THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE SONG. SO OF COURSE THE SONG WILL ALWAYS BE "WEAK". LUPE ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX RAPPER THAT WILL ALWAYS GO OVER PEOPLE HEAD SO HE ALWAYS BE WEAK TO THE NO BRAINS EYE. HE SAID WILL NEVER DUMB IT DOWN
![Lupe Fiasco - SLR 3 (Round of Applause) [Lyrics on Screen]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tN1qOQlFfHM/mqdefault.jpg)
This is Hip Hop from 1st and 15th to Q4 Respect
Six minutes and fifty five seconds of elite level word play.
From baby showers to 80 flowers like bruh who tf says that
No joke
@@jebustavera8132 word play is bonkers
This proves why he's a top 5 lyricist of all time
This song and Mural.. foh if you dont respect this man!!
Pure, unadulterated genius here. Lupes approach to lyrics is on point! He may not put out a club banger, but he will drop a knowledge bomb that'll leave a mushroom cloud on your dome. Lol
Bro nobody gives him the credit he deserves. Everybody dickriders Eminem, but this man is on a whole different level
"Thank God on friday, buy a ruby on tuesday". Man I just realized that restaurant theme. T.G.I.F. and Ruby Tuesdays
MegaBoxerdude another line is Muslims holy day is Fridays. Known as Jummah
listening to Lupe is more educational than reading a book. The amount of growth!!!
This is accurate
'Now paper make a plane and paper make it rain but how fly is paper?....plane in the rain. I'm fly paper on the brain?' fucking genius..
This and Mural. That is all
And failure & SLR
Questionssm indeed his entire discography. Lasers was poppy but still had the basic Lupe lyricism even if it was watered down.
JM C Atomic Misphilosophy is pretty good too. A lot his real old school shit when hes young is insane as well. coulda been is a good one.
JM C I didn't even know this existed, how the hell this slip under the radar? lol
EagleZtoTheGrave I remembered he dropped this on sound cloud randomly 2 years back (around the same time of the #DROGAS unofficial mixtape). I was blown away
GOT DAM, Lupe is Incredible. One of the most lyrical tracks I've ever heard. You have to rewind this over and over lol

FACTS‼️💯
Listening this for almost a decade and only NOW caught that '2 girls one cup' line 🥴
Top 3, no particular order:
Em, K. Dot, Lupe
Fight me
The ultimate level of lyricism. This is the absolute top, hez very lonely
and then you listen to 'Mural'
Shemzinho Then Failure, then Twilight Zone, the Switch lol
Shemzinho have you heard mean and vicious?
Wyatt Yip of course bro, I have all Lupe's mixtapes
Everyone : " my top 5 is ....... "
Me : " where's Lupe? "
Everyone : " lol the nerd who skates " ?
Me : ( shows them this and mural )
Next day
Everyone : " Wanna go skating " ?
Me : " After you .... Drogas " !
Realnigga Turner 😂😂😂 Word!!
Super underrated comment
I always have thos conversation
bro this is a journey.
"Bumped into DOOM, the greatest rappers collide"
There's a reason KDot didn't mention Lupe. Those of us that study lyrics know why. Dot met his match.
"Critics say I fell off
And I acknowledge i slipped
But what do you call falling from space into a bottomless pit?"
One of my favorite bars from Lupe
Bumped into DOOM the greatest rappers collide!
Everybody dead but AZ the greatest rapper survived
RIP MF DOOM EASILY ONE OF THE GOATS 🙏🏽💯
RIP MF DOOM

It's just too much to take in in one listen lol wow Lupe
im speechless...frame his lyrics and sell it as a painting
this is the guy you'll sit down and pause line just to work out and study his metaphors.
HE IS A LYRIC GENIUS.
Lupe inspired Kdot u can tell
best lyrical rapper right now
ever*
And now, we all agree that Lupe is playing on a whole different league... peace.
anyone who doesnt know lupe the goat
SLAP YOURSELF !!
He is the only artist I had to go to rap genius for! This has earned my respect him and his lyrics, not to say Kendrick, but GodDam Lupe!!! THIs is WHY he is my favorite MC!
Check out MF DOOM, Kool Keith, Durag Dynasty, Blu, Gucci Mane lol
Shavuel Wale you have to go on rap genius for Gucci? lol
Tyler Blessing don't have to go on rap genius for anything
Shavuel Wale i go to rap genius for some DOOM and lupe sometimes cause they actually make me think sometimes.
Tyler Blessing same, I don't listen to Lupe anymore though since The enemy of the state mixtape
This is my Man on some many levels, he makes you step it up... Breath of fresh air

Wow that was off the planet.
That ankles like chins making sense concept. Came from Nas stillmatic album. That was dope how lupe just used different body parts.
6 minutes of clearly explaining that this the ghostwriter of all these popular rappers best songs.
When your mixtapes better than the billboard 100.
Lupe stand.

Thanks 5 9ths for getting Lupe back to writing secret indictments
sheesh! i return every week and im chris! lol posted this on facebook a very long time ago!
i was at 2:00 and realized he still had 4 minutes to go.... >_<
BEAST
he's spitting about his dream of becoming a rapper, had his dreams set, and all he wanted to do was rhyme but then he had to become a Mason learned secrets and became a little iffy cause he step into the game just to spit. if you heard Lupe first mixtapes it was about everything these rappers talked about but he realized it's not what he wanted. he switched up his style to be different from the world but ppl still misinterpret what's he was saying. he got tired of the game and ppl worrying about who the best.

Lupe a mason? na
yes he is a Mason. whether he got in blindly or knew what he was getting into yes he is.
I dont think so cuz he isnt as nearly as famous as half these trash rappers
yes he was, until he wanted to get out the game and his pov changed. especially after Obama invited him to the white house for a performance. now ppl are starting to see what he's talking about.
yo, nice points bro
Lets go...Real Hip Hop ova here! Go get ya guy that's on the radio right now...go get 5 of them and holla at me. I'll bring Lupe and watch them all sit on the sidelines wondering who gone go next! LUPE!!!!!
anyone else noticed that he brought forward the "drogas" 6:40 in his Drogas Light and Drogas albums 5 years later

Intellectually
Nullifying

I don't know whats better (or more lyrical) this or mural

youjust gotgronked ok
Mural honestly wasn't too hard to figure out for me. I still don't fully understand all of the bars on this song.
his metaphors are so complex ...man this guy is ridiculous lol
What's a closed wallet to an open safe ? Say your grace.
why do I get the feeling he is taking about ghostwriting for some of the greats or the goats having writers... deep 💩
The first bar is so overheads , can’t imagine thinking I caught everything with one listen lol
Lupe be litty 🔥
A Mason mind can't sign if the pens Templar! HAHA!!
How does one even respond to a song like this?
Don’t let you inner fear result in your outer coward… he a beast
Also dat drizzy line though! shots fired. bang bang
Which one?
Mind blowned
GOOD GOD!!!!
Sick beat and lyrics
