It been right at the edge of my brain. He says something about , "I'm on my green like string beans"

If so, was it before or after the concert? I’m trying to see if I should go by there again. I have one of everything he sells there already.

I had a chance to finally sit down and watch the Kubrick classics: The Shining, Lolita, Clockwork Orange, Fullmetal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut

I couldn't help but compare Kubrick's filmmaking style to Fiasco's lyricism. The funny thing was, as varied the takes on the human condition are in Kubrick's filmography, it could be boiled down to the phrase "don't ruin the children". So many of his movies include occult symbolism and references, with a key takeaway being the destruction of innocence. Eyes Wide Shut brought me back to Lupe's "Scottish Rites", his references to "Rosicrucians" just peppered in to not lose the meaning but serving as reference. I don't know if there's ever been an analysis of the occult nature of Lupe's work in depth but there's more than just general themes. It's the way the occult bubbles up as a foundation but not focus of their work I find interesting. If you take the time to pick it apart is where it gets interesting.

Not sure of this has been explored before but wanted to start a thread. Might do a video on it some day. What do you all think of Lupe's Kubrickian influences or similarity in subject matter?

Going this Friday and would love to be one of the first 10. Any guesses on how early before doors I should try to be in line? Doors are at 7.

I want to learn it

I just booked my ticket! Check out the link below

Right now none of them are on Apple Music, I don't think they're on any others either

Would be nice to have em in my AM app instead of having to stream off Mixtape Monkey in a mobile browser while I'm on my phone

First world problems, I know, but I'd like to have Lu's tapes on my streaming app, I love every single one of them, esp ROTN and Pharaoh Height

So, after this undisputed update not only am I hearing Pound for Pound but a lot of the samurai album along with jump from drives lite. It’s dope he got so many songs on here

Happy Birthday Mama Fiasco

“When you gon' apologize for your CD N that don't match men in black to a GD”

I used to visit that constantly to get new leaks and mixtapes and whatever. I also remember a forum, but that may have been separate.

Site seems to have just vanished at some point.

This showed up on my YT home channel. Lupe comes in around the 2:50 mark

Let’s hear em, fill out each of the below:

For me it's either Fighters or The Die

When Lupe announced this tour he said he was giving away mixtapes ti the first 5 people who spent x amount on merch. Supposedly there are different songs on the mixtapes in each city. Wondering if any of those songs have shown up online. Think they were given in the form of a flash drive.

Before I start, I know this is a stupid post, and Lupe would never do this and beef would pretty much just create hate between everyone, but I like theorizing.

The more Kendrick talks and acts like this makes me like him less and less. I still love his music but I'm not liking his new album the same. I think he's become hypocritical on his original beliefs ever since he reached the apex. I need someone to ego check him.

But who even can?

Don't want to see Weezy force himself to write a diss record.

Em, pusha T, Nas, etc have 0 reason to diss kendrick

I've seen Lupe talk a little about Kendrick being overrated before, so I would love for someone to take a jab at him at the top (for selfish reasons too) and I think Lupe would win if it's purely about the pen instead of digging up random evidence from 10 years ago
