That DROGAS Wave though..... that's a gigantic record that the media slept on. I want a whole doc on that one. Never thought I'd see Hip Hop be able to be more cinematic than a Pink Floyd record. Incredible work!
I agree but u also gotta understand there’s no way an album like drogas wave would get media attention. It was always gonna belong in the underground category.
@@Coldlife565 there were some songs on there that could’ve got some radio play tho. Kingdom, Stack That Cheese and even Timbuck2 Day have some mainstream appeal to it.
Tetsuo and youth is ONE OF THE BEST ALBULMS OF ALL TIME!! And food and liquor II the great American rap album is still unbelievably relevant, and an incredible piece of work.
@@kingcam0775 peace brother, I respect your opinion. Truth be told on my first listen to T&Y I didn't know how to feel about it, but the beats grew on me, and the subject matter and the way it's presented, in my opinion, is masterful.
@@misterarchiver if you consider every factor like influence,sales,lyrics,albums(everyfactor u can think of probably). But in terms of lyricism, hes probably the best
@@t-4579 I am considering every factor of rap like flow, lyricism, wordplay, influence, discography and production. According to those factors, lupe is top 25 or 20, just one song called "Mural" and sort of complex lyricism doesn't determine your greatness, their are more factors of rap than "lyricism" and no i am not even considering sales or anything price related
@@misterarchiver looking back i should have said best not greatest cause greatest takes in stuff u just said in which case someone like jay is defo greater than lupe(even lupe said so). But best is just purely the raps in which case hes probably the goat(also could be nas,black thought and some more)
Interview was fire, Rob 🔥! You always come with the background knowledge. You’re very confident and respectful with your journalism. And you did a great job interviewing Lupe. Takes a special person. Love Lupe’s artistry. Been rockin since Kick, Push 🙌🏿💕
Rob Markman I can tell! Thanks for keeping a naturally flowing convo while still checking the boxes 🙏🏽🙏🏽 As a Lupe Stan, I appreciate this look into the mind of the artist.
Blessed is the interviewer who ask questions, and because they are actually interested in the answers, they allow the subject to speak and express themselves. Dope interview.
I just realized we the same age and like the same things, swore he was my lost brother lol. He made being a black skate boarding cool, love anime cool, reading cool being open minded cool! 👊 Can we get an album with SkyZoo???? PLEASE!!!! 🥺🙏
Lupe deserves so much more love than he gets.
He gets enough love, people put him in top 20 or 15 already
He's Been Good Already....
The man is like MF Doom, the reals know that he is a goat, top 5 for sure.
*Lupe Fiasco too underrated asf🔥*
I know right!! 👊
not really. to the mainstream yes but OG hip hop fans rate him highly

I wasn’t that crazy about it, more of Food and Liquor fan but I guess that also has to do with nostalgic purposes for me.
@@himoverthere6716 what about tetsuo and youth
honestly the media been scared ablut what hes talking bout for a while
@@Coldlife565 there were some songs on there that could’ve got some radio play tho. Kingdom, Stack That Cheese and even Timbuck2 Day have some mainstream appeal to it.
Lupe just sounds like such a humble person. Opinionated but humble and respectful
and complicated
Lupe the reason Rap Genius was created. 💯💪🏽
Lupe one of the greatest lyricist of all time, shoutout to Genius for this interview
The most skilled lyricist for sure
Tetsuo and youth is ONE OF THE BEST ALBULMS OF ALL TIME!! And food and liquor II the great American rap album is still unbelievably relevant, and an incredible piece of work.
Only issue with it is the beats. The beats on the first Food and Liquor are about all 10/10 and II didn't sound anywhere near as good.

@@williammaisonet8228 how do u feel about drogas wave
First time I heard Lupe was on "touch the sky" and ever since then I've been a gigantic fan. Lupe is the best lyricist I've ever heard!
Best by a galaxy
Thread why Lupe is the GOAT
He made Mural
He made twilight zone
Food & Liquor
He made failure 🐐 shit
Goated because he made Food and Liquor & The Coolest. Like 10 years before Mural
He started rapping
This man is easily top 20 of all time
Greatest rapper ever.
Idk if he's the greatest, but he's my personal favorite.
Top 20, at most

I really really loved this interview. Everyone should keep making their art until they in the grave. Don’t stop making art.
Solid interviewer. Kudos to Genius.
Lupe songs be like 5 layers deep
Interview was fire, Rob 🔥! You always come with the background knowledge. You’re very confident and respectful with your journalism. And you did a great job interviewing Lupe. Takes a special person. Love Lupe’s artistry. Been rockin since Kick, Push 🙌🏿💕
Reads : Lupe Fiasco
Voice in my head : La-ser
Alright, already the show goes on
All night, till the morning we dream so long
He'd slap you for that
I actually love those songs
@@morelyfe1891he wouldn't
I was one minute in when I realized how long this interview would be. THANK YOU ROB x LUPE!!!
ScreamGeronimo honestly could’ve went 3 hours lol.
Rob Markman I can tell! Thanks for keeping a naturally flowing convo while still checking the boxes 🙏🏽🙏🏽 As a Lupe Stan, I appreciate this look into the mind of the artist.
Mixtape Lu isn’t talked about enough
Cause its a mixtape that doesn't age well
@@misterarchiver the first farenheit and jedi were fire.
@@misterarchiver wym
06 Lupe was a legend. FOOD AND LIQUOR ftw
Was?
Still is
Still is
06 and 07. Let’s not forget The Cool
2020 Lupe is beyond legendary. He got better with time.
This is a great convo, one of the best episodes in a while.
VonTelevision glad you enjoy it. Fr
Blessed is the interviewer who ask questions, and because they are actually interested in the answers, they allow the subject to speak and express themselves. Dope interview.
funwontan glad you enjoyed it
Lupe Chicago's Finest🔥🔥🔥
❤️❤️🔥🔥
Lu gotta start a hip-hop podcast
I'm from the future. He now has a podcast, with Royce da 5'9. Called The Lupe And Royce Show
@@yusefdaramay2177 I'm from the future. Sadly, the podcast ended after a beef between Lupe and Royce.
@@Aviishek. right lol
*August 11*, 1973!
Birth of hip hop!
My birthday!
King Lupe himself
Dear stranger may your parents live for 100 years ♥️
I appreciate the sentiment
Many blissings your way!!!
Rob called the “seldom” but it’s “models” backwards. Which is “sledom” which is to be taken as “slay dem”, a term the modeling community uses.
you're right, that was my bad.
We need more Lupe Fiasco’s in the world‼️👏🏾
"First got it when he was six, didn't know any tricks"
"matter fact first time he got on it he slipped"
been WAITING FOR THIS
Lupe so raw
Thank you, Genius, for sharing. Much-Love.
Kick push still on my playlist ✊🏾
genius means many, just a fun fact to remember, another fun fact is that lupe is one of the greatest of all time.
Cool to hear the GOAT talk with Genius! We need more in depth conversations with Lupe
Had to pause and go check out the House project. I like it. It's short and sweet.
ITS A CRIME WE NEVER GOT CRS ALBUM
You should of known back then that wasn't going to happen
Man I loved this peace
I just realized we the same age and like the same things, swore he was my lost brother lol. He made being a black skate boarding cool, love anime cool, reading cool being open minded cool! 👊 Can we get an album with SkyZoo???? PLEASE!!!! 🥺🙏
Great interview
Genius was made because of Lupe
Genius was a completely different organization, bruh so how did he made it?
I only know him from the song “Battle scars” idk anything about him now. Might check him out
Listen to kick push, Paris Tokyo and touch the sky with him and Kanye
Your missing out
You missing out listen to every album!!
the cool and tetsuo and youth great albums
Just check The Cool saga, Tetsuo and Youth and Drogas Wave concepts. Lupe is more than a rapper, that's for sure.
Literally 99% won’t see this but if you do, God bless you, stay safe and have a wonderful day.🙏
Literally shut up
Your welcome 🙏
The infamous 🔥🔥🙏🏾
Great job with this interview
Lupe is the goat
Who else went straight to the comments🤣
i like this guy, had to go to harvard to understand some of his lyrics though!!!
DA GOAT
Wise man knows what's up in life
Thank you god. 🙏
This guy is the poster boy for the intelligent black artiste. They are so few. Like the views on this video
Wayne Gretzky, not MJ with the quote
Great video Rob, wicked
Justin Carty thank you
Ohhla.com was the lyrics spot back then
Lol 😂 facts 💯
@@hipking23 I use to be so thirsty to go there as a kid lol
wish Lupe was bigger than he was
Got blackballed which sucks
It's almost like you didn't watch the interview.
Why?
Lupe is the 2nd coming of Nas imo
I got flowers from the gardener when I was a baby..ha!
Ow lupe
the part you're all here for 33:23
Lupe goat food and liquor, the cool, tetsuo and youth classics
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates....Non-Duality✌️
Lupe keeping it 1000
⬅️ 2 sec ➡️➕ Hp
⬇️ 2 sec ⬆️➕ Hk.....
Lupe Blocked that shit...
GOAT
Hi
I hope you have a lovely day
Top 5 dead or alive
No
wtf Lupe has not aged a day!
If you go look he got grey hair now
🐐
Type in Drake ft Lupe Fiasco Say Something and you'll see Lupe aint worried bout Drake. And I know its not a real feature
@joek money Idk...U tell me who said it was beef
