Second verse is the best written verse this year in my opinion, the rhyme pattern is insane and the content never suffers, Lupe really is a painter with words.
Just try to listen to whole Lupe's catalogue... you'll be amazed at how good of a lyricist he is, prolly the best ever and someone could argue bout that.
i was listening to this song about seven hours ago and this is the first video i see on my subscriptions, coming here. i've been bumping 'dmiz' heavy. this is one of the many lyrical exhibitions lupe has in the album. a masterpiece! now let me watch how the insane schemes look like when highlighted.

@@ishaking6278 Shakespeare created so many words and completely changed the English language. I think Lupe is the greatest poet/rapper of all time, but Shakespeare's influence still puts him above Lupe imo
You can tell how much he hates Atlantic lmao. This line actually is a metaphor meaning you have to give the middle finger to those who think they can control you and make the art YOU want
@@asadasss263 Well the second line basically says that gender and sex aren't the same thing, a sentiment that generally implies support of trans people.
@@blacksheepsquadron6189 That it's not only fire, that it's also based. And being based is slang generally used to mean that you agree with something, specifically something that has to do with progressive values. Saying that genitals and gender roles don't neccesarily conflate implies support of trans people, which I agree with and think is good, therefore based.
@@snapgab ohh that's really cool it's always nice to see someone as big as Lupe or Kendrick standing up for trans people I never really understand of this issues since I don't experience it so I never be able to speak on it
@@martianlynch6769 he uses a lot of unique words so to speak, like you say, but it's more like how many different words can you fit in a song, so I could beat lupe by just using a shit ton of different smaller more common words, like what, hey, doing, jump, laugh, and so on and so on, and beat his count. That's how it works I think
@@sa-mp5iw you can be famous and liked and still be underrated. I think he has a top-ten pen but a top-hundred appreciation. Like Black Thought, or Big L.
@@sa-mp5iw understandable. Imo, the guys you mentioned don't come even close to Lu lyrically, except maybe Em, DOOM and GZA. Guess it all depends on what you view lyricism as.
really enjoyed this story he has a unique way of wording which puts you off cause it seems forced and just make him seem more complex but then again that‘s what poetry is like i guess. either way it‘s nice
Tbh he is not forced at all.... He doesn't use big ass words where you don't need them... Each and every punchline and metaphor makes sense....someone like canibus is called forced lyricist... Lupe is purely effortless
@@lyrics2challenged they're entirely different. Lupe rides with the metaphors and similes throughout entire verses while incorporating a lot of entendres, allusions and allegories. On top of that, Lu uses far more wordplays than Bis. Can't say that Bis can do what Lu does. They're both excellent at storytelling and concepts, but that's it.
Ok, one of my favorite songs period off of one of my top 10 hip hop albums of all time...but dude, your rhyming notations make no sense sometimes. How does "ga" in origami have any relation to the word "down" in the next line? There isn't any form of similarity in pronunciation or spelling that would suggest it rhymes in the song. This isn't touching the surface either, there are a lot of places where it feels like the crew decided to place colors in random places, like how do "at", "envy", and "canvas" relate to each other in the line or others previous to it rhythmically?
Well, I guess you’re outside of what’s known lol Lupe’s Mural that was released is kiddie shit compared to this unreleased one he has. Where he took all the good points of Mural and made them 1000x better and more complex Deadass, I heard a snippet one time and I couldn’t even listen to it all the way through, there was too much amazing ish he was doing Mural did it’s job, being the collection of the entire T&Y album. While also telling his life story For the record, it all makes sense once you listen to the album in reverse order
How so? Words That I Never Said came 1 year prior to Reagan, and Reagan despite being an amazing song, it looks like it's a ripoff of Words That I Never Said. You're trippin, this song is about rap as an art form and bout art in general. Heck, you could say Reagan is a ripoff of Conflicted Diamonds which came in 2005, but it ain't true. None of these rappers intended to do that, they have similar themes sometimes, but they never did this thing (rippin off). This song and Reagan have nothing in common, simple as that, even a 6th grader would be able to tell the differences.

Thank you all for the support! You can also watch the video of first MURAL here: ua-cam.com/video/7vh7BX3aN34/v-deo.html
This Mural Series from Lupe is some of the best raps I've ever heard
Hip hop as an art form. Lupe is 1 of the best at it.
Mural jr might be the most lyrical song ever.
@@whynot9421the original mural was his best work for me
Second verse is the best written verse this year in my opinion, the rhyme pattern is insane and the content never suffers, Lupe really is a painter with words.
It's insane how much Lupe packed on that second verse. I, too, think that this verse is the best verse this year.
The crazy thing is...Lupe is also a painter! He has designed all of his album covers since Tetsuo & Youth.
I don't consider Lupe a rapper. I mean he raps, but songs like these are more like audio books than music. Bravo
I agree...I’ve had this on heavy rotation since this came out...it’s between J Cole’s feature on Johnny P’s Caddy nd this for VOTY
and his hands didn't even write this
Lupe created a new Tier of Lyricism with this song alone. Drill Music in Zion is a MASTERPIECE.
Yesss. An incredible album! New Lupe video out now btw
one of the best lyricists ever.
The best
the best lyricist ever, I used to crown Kool G Rap at first till realize Lupe
Congratulation, Spited!! You’re my go to channel for finding these rhymes highlighted videos.. Love your work
Glad you like them!
"I never wanted my life to be a collection of some dates
And holiday my days away and intellectually sedate" Sick 🤮
"THE CURRENT ART WORLD IS JUST COMPETITIVELY OPAQUE!!!" I love how Lupe is basically saying most "artists" are out here being competitively MID, LMAO.
"Less like putting on some makeup, more like severing a face" ✍️✍️
Hate to be this guy but never knew I had to put Lupe up in the top tier lyricist.
But man he’s good good
Just try to listen to whole Lupe's catalogue... you'll be amazed at how good of a lyricist he is, prolly the best ever and someone could argue bout that.
U late af
@@relly793 shit your telling me lol
@@Portthefirst He is great lyricist. I have finished his whole catalogue. Some of his bars are very intense that i can't even catch up his bars.
@@Portthefirst No one can ever argue about that Lupe is the best writer and storyteller.
It’s « funny » how the first two lines of that long second verse and ending of it has the same rhyming
This verse is fucking insane
i was listening to this song about seven hours ago and this is the first video i see on my subscriptions, coming here.
i've been bumping 'dmiz' heavy. this is one of the many lyrical exhibitions lupe has in the album. a masterpiece!

Lupe isn’t the GOAT…
He’s a fucking Legend.
My favourite channel! Congrats on 80k!
Thankyou!!
Drill Music in Zion. Yeah.
strong AOTY candidate
truly the picasso of hip hop
More like Michael Angelo or Divincii
Top 5 BEST of all time. I don't care what anyone else says.
Top 1
Lyrically and storytelling wise he is the best.
Second time ever hearing Lupe and this is really dope
That second verse was DENSE
I used to play RuneScape with Lupe Fiasco
Lucky you. I used to play RuneScape while listening to lupe
Almost untouchable level pen
What about Shakespeare? Would you ever put him over Lupe? I would not.
@@ishaking6278 Shakespeare created so many words and completely changed the English language. I think Lupe is the greatest poet/rapper of all time, but Shakespeare's influence still puts him above Lupe imo
@@LukeTheSchoolBoy Overall rapping wise Lupe is not even top 3, but when it comes to lyricism and storytelling, Lu is just the best ever.
"A master of the palette" is probably the most beautiful thing I've heard in hip hop.
THIS MORE THAN MUSIC BUT WILL BE IGNORED BY THE CULTURE.
Hi
Edit: Good work I love you vids fire as usual 🔥🔥
Hi
GOATED and emcee for top tier lyricists and Emcees
Lupe Fiasco different ❤❤
hot take but ms mural is lupe's best written song
theres so many bro lmao he's just a freaking genius dude
My Top 5 MC's
1) Lupe
2) Pun
3) Canibus
4) Nas
5) Em/ G rap
Just my favourites...there are many who deserve to be top 5
Cool list canibus and Lupe are my top 2
Have you heard to all the songs in poet laureate and mural series?
Great list
It doesn't matter I'm sure, but I still respect this list.
@@lyrics2challenged means?
I like your list. Much respect to Kool G rap
Did the painter set the patron on fire?
You can tell how much he hates Atlantic lmao. This line actually is a metaphor meaning you have to give the middle finger to those who think they can control you and make the art YOU want
Dope
Black man is always represented by the color blue.. which is why he states the color blue
The God MC 👑
Fire!
Also based:
"It's not really a beef but conceptually it's steak
Like do genitals and gender roles successfully conflate?"
English is not my first language can you explain me like I'm five about this verse?
What does "also based" mean?
@@asadasss263 Well the second line basically says that gender and sex aren't the same thing, a sentiment that generally implies support of trans people.
@@blacksheepsquadron6189 That it's not only fire, that it's also based.
And being based is slang generally used to mean that you agree with something, specifically something that has to do with progressive values.

need a lupe aesop collab
That would set our minds on fire
omg finally
Yes
One of the few able to stand near Eminem’s level with lyricism
How was that a 52 on Unique words?
well, he just said a lot of the words twice or more times
Garnish, carnage, kinetic, shamanistic, secularists, conflate, diatribe, opaque, agape, strafe, palette, sanguine, peruse, brushstrokes, articulated, shredding, languish, defanged, origami…. That’s more unique words than in ppls whole albums 🤣
@@martianlynch6769 True lol but that isn't exactly what the unique word percentage counts
@@martianlynch6769 he uses a lot of unique words so to speak, like you say, but it's more like how many different words can you fit in a song, so I could beat lupe by just using a shit ton of different smaller more common words, like what, hey, doing, jump, laugh, and so on and so on, and beat his count. That's how it works I think
Amazing verses and video. You should definitely consider do one on Watch Dem N****s by Nas.
For the algo 💪🏽
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
facts
Lupe is famous, but he's not as famous as he deserves to be.
@@sa-mp5iw you can be famous and liked and still be underrated. I think he has a top-ten pen but a top-hundred appreciation. Like Black Thought, or Big L.
@@sa-mp5iw Rolling Stone literally listed the Top 200 Hip Hop albums of all time and Lupe didn't make it
@@sa-mp5iw I said top-10 pen, not top-10. Big difference. I know he doesn't have the whole package.
@@sa-mp5iw what's ur top 10 lyricists then if you dont agree with Lu being in top 10 lyricists oat?
@@sa-mp5iw understandable. Imo, the guys you mentioned don't come even close to Lu lyrically, except maybe Em, DOOM and GZA. Guess it all depends on what you view lyricism as.
Was that a Hitler reference with the painter and the superiority of a race?
Where's Spited Finds? Where there no notable releases these past two weeks?
I've been enjoying the summer, so that's why
Finally love u
Lupe is not underrated coz his bars are not for kids.
You should do Take My Hand by Dark Time Sunshine. That entire first verse is FIRE but I can't follow it
Let me hear anyone say that Lupe is not the goat.
Can you do something of cise starr he’s so underrated
Amazing work I was wondering if you could do the rhyme scheme on Eminem Despicable track
Some requests for Mr. Spited:
Treach in Yoke the Joker
Git Up - D12
Eminem on Best Friend
100 Bars - Canibus
Mural...
This is the title indeed.
Can you plzz do like water by jaden smith
it should read ' "where are all the pages?" the painter said "defanged," ' the patron asks the question the painter responds
really enjoyed this story
he has a unique way of wording which puts you off cause it seems forced and just make him seem more complex but then again that‘s what poetry is like i guess.
either way it‘s nice
He actually seems way less forced than most other rappers in his wording IMO.
lupe is actually one of the artists who sounds effortless
Tbh he is not forced at all.... He doesn't use big ass words where you don't need them... Each and every punchline and metaphor makes sense....someone like canibus is called forced lyricist... Lupe is purely effortless
@@devilfromhell8546 funny, cuz many people consider them of the same/similar quality.

Why isn't lupe in the big 3? He's better than all 3 of those ladies

if i was lupe i would‘ve never made another „mural“
would‘ve made it more unique
tf u talking bout, every mural is different from the other
This is literally nothing like any other mural you have got to be deaf
Well, I guess you’re outside of what’s known lol
Lupe’s Mural that was released is kiddie shit compared to this unreleased one he has. Where he took all the good points of Mural and made them 1000x better and more complex
