Fiyah reaction 🔥 a little back story to the song, Longchain concept: When the slaves leapt into the water, their life on earth expired and they started a new life under water. Some of the them ventured back to Africa while others helped to sink the slaveships. "Those who wouldn't become slaves instead became waves" In the second verse he personifies nature to ask them how could they let something so inhumane happen in the world, and then goes on to name some of the slave ships in the 3rd verse. I didn't explain it in as much detail as possible but jus know that Lupe is a genius 🧠
Lupe's line about "Black baby alligator baiters" is a reference to Louisiana slave holders using Black babies to bait alligators out of the water so they could hunt the gators for food. Whether or not that's true, that is the horror story behind that.
@@oliviertrudel2384it is true and there is evidence that proves it happened. Are you feeling guilty for your ancestors? Trying to cover up something that happened 🤡🤦🏽♂️🤔
@@TimmyTOnTheFly if it ever happened my ancestor didnt do it. and even if they did i would have no guilt because i wasnt even born and have no control ont heir past action. u really think im trynna cover something for people ive never met lao
Yo! Dope reaction! I think you might dig the following: Check out Lupe Fiasco's --- Failure, Gotta Eat, Double burger with cheese(visual) , Put you on Game, Piece of Paper, SLR 1, slr 2, slr 3, sir 3.5 .. Also his old radio freestyles off the dome. on Flex, Sway in the morning and Westwood.
The funny thing about Lupe is that his most popular songs are actually weak in comparison to his mixtape stuff. That's why you won't get requests for "Kick Push" or "Superstar" but tracks like Twilight Zone, Lupe the Killa, Emperor's Soundtrack, Yoga Flame , Lamborghini Angel and Around my Way are fan favourites. Even when he on trap beats on Next To It, Snitches 2 and Deliver, my mans still kills it.
yeah 1st time i heard this song i was on shrooms .. it was a crazy experience .. i felt godly hearing it 😂 i was like it is the song or the shrooms 😂💀but yea this song is a classic

Nah t money u explained it perfectly !!! NOW it made this track even more fiyahhhh
As a black man this song stirs my soul everytime I hear it
Failure is probably lupe's most insane song lyrically, second verse has a triple entendre every line, no one can pull that off
favourite to this day
