MC Devenom have you ever watched the anime show mazinger z? If not, check it out and you will appreciate the song even more lol. It's a fantastic song.
Lupe's unique and lyrical as shit! Even the songs people don't like are viscous. Even when he mimics the garbage on the radio, he does it better. He's too #VERSATILE!!!
AEB Music "affirm" is a word that means to swear without the "in vain" impression. I use it a lot and it's even legally correct. you can solemnly affirm in court verses solemnly swear in. just in case anyone cared lol.
If you notice the covering on the Title Mazinger cleverly covers up the Atla portioj of Atlantico. The full phrase is Banco Atlantico. The Atlantic Bank. As Lupe was under Atlantic Records this could stand as a record that he wants to go into the bank like the massive power his creativity is represented by. He was being covered from Atlantic Records from releasing the mix this was on. That is why he released it through different means.
on the real alot of people sound like one dimensional fans, music's an outlet you could drop all kind of shit, some people pursue they're career in desire to keep they're image important and relevant, Lupe makes it pretty clear he could give a fuck less about image. Versatile and diverse and clear in his intention as far as longevity goes, he's pretty much always been the positive pulse to hip-hop for a minute. Everybodies positivity and negativity at the same time, yin yang and my nigga writes bars from a great perspective always... maybe a few corny tracks where he tried some out of his lane shit but that's nothing compared to the greatness this guy has supplied to the hip hop game....Music is only great and timeless when people speak from the heart, more or less, we can go back and forth but music's an outlet for expression, nothing more nothing less. It can be something incredibly great in the right hands but of course you need great ears to listen on the other end of it... sorry for the rant,
Jay Z does all these better IMO(because Jay Z to me is the GOAT) but Lupe is undoubtedly a legend, a true master at what he does. Fuck, this is actually one of his best songs ever from every single standpoint, from the beat, to the flow, to the message etc. And he just had to be an anime head, makes it more amazing
I know some ppl hated how he flowed on this joint but he's undermining the rap game with this and at the same time delivering a deep message with anazing word play as well. Lupe is genius
If you don't like the intro, go on iTunes and press "More Info" from there, go through the tabs until you find the section that allows you to change start and stop time.
Great job, Lupe! You are back to killin' it (as if you ever left LOL ). For all of you ignorant and close-minded people, the intro and outro are the Japanese and English versions of the Mazinger Z theme respectively. The title of the song, the beat and the lyrics that it inspired probably wouldn't have existed without the source material. All real Lupe fans are also anime fans too (as is Lupe himself ). This isn't the first anime reference he's made either. Look back at the catalog. Don't stifle the man's genius. Leave the source material in, Lu!
I wouldnt say all true lupe fans are anime fans... I personally like some anime, but not most. I know others enjoy his genius and let him put them on something new as well. Lupes lyrics and themes have introduced me to many people, places, and things i havent explored before and wouldnt have otherwise.
***** No, anime has nothing to do with it. Lupe's a great artist period. The source material seems to be getting a lot of hate on here from people who say they are fans of Lupe. Using source material like this is just another form of crate digging. It's a way of introducing people to things that they normally wouldn't have. Think of this song as a Wikipedia link for Mazinger. Most of the people complaining probably didn't even know what Mazinger was until they click on the song. The only way true hip-hop is going to grow is if we go beyond the usual sources. Everyone might not like it, but they should do some research and honestly check out the original material before spouting hate disguised as an opinion. In a way, complaining about this just because it IS anime is telling Lu to "Dumb it Down". We don't want that, do we?
The Great --Tupac -----suggested that we hold these rappers responsible. Lupe is at the top of the list! no dumb down music and it leaves us responsible. Lupe is legendary!
GOAT!! P.S. To all the people saying Tetsuo & Youth is worse than LITA, I believe I read somewhere that ALL SINGLES have been SCRAPPED. Is that correct? If so, we have no idea what's on T&Y! HYPE!
TheJ1aa2m3 It's been confirmed that that's the name of his new mixtape...Lost In The Atlantic...do a google search. Also it's a reference to his record label.
Recr I believe TheJ1aa2m3 was referring to my comment about singles being scrapped on T&Y. I read it somewhere on the forum kanyetothe.com which is very possible because of the release date being postponed. I'm sure Lupe hinted about something like that happening on Twitter, although, don't take my word for it! I'll update this post if their is some good evidence! FNF Up!

January 2024, still bumpin this
Spring interlude.
real ones know
Fall 2024, we are here
The flow....the words. ...the beat....the chorus
....the message..... I seriously cant stop playing this song.
This comment explains it all
This man speaks the truth.
MC Devenom have you ever watched the anime show mazinger z? If not, check it out and you will appreciate the song even more lol. It's a fantastic song.
@@DakinRinone The anime reminds me of Gundam.
Best Lupe Fiasco song for me
Lupe is the GOAT for me. Been listening since F&L and somehow I slept on this song until 2022. Can't believe what I'm hearing.
Sinister time!
This track deserves WAY more love.
One of the best rap songs of the last decade
@@Portthefirst One of my favourite rap songs ever. Regardless of Era
Hands down greatest lyricist of all time
The general population has no idea
@@TheturtlesageWill it's frustrating to me, but I know he doesn't care
Which is why I'm sad things didn't work out with Lupe and Royce. I would have loved to see Lupe, Royce and eminem on a track
@@TheturtlesageWill that part is actually startling.
@@dend1 that was sad indeed
Rap is Lupes Mazinger.
He operates it like noone else.
Well said, well said.
I was wondering if any one caught that, need to refeed lu food and liquor & Fahrenheit 1/15 to bring back OUR mazinger z back to his former glory
Man next year 2024 it will be a decade. You can either become a god or devil.
Conscious or unconscious
Woke or asleep
Masterpiece. The flow, the beat, and the chorus all perfect.
Sinister time!
I think when I’m an old man, some where in my 80s and I look back at all these rappers. I think he will be my favorite of all time.
HE'S THE FUCKIN GOAT. Its stupid how hes still barely known
Most Underrated Rapper Alive!!!
one of the underrated greats
This song gives me the energy and the belief I can run through a brick wall
Forever my Lupe favorite ❤❤..
Lupe's unique and lyrical as shit! Even the songs people don't like are viscous. Even when he mimics the garbage on the radio, he does it better. He's too #VERSATILE!!!
Yes he is... He can do it all!
Hes too Real Hes too G!!
Explains drogas light!
I like how he's singing daydreamin on the low in the background at the beginning.
W
When? How?
He sings "I fell asleep to the flowers" at 1:18
Pure epicness if you get the beginning and then dem bars dammmmmm
Saraan Zahid poor monica, she didnt knew what she did :/ but did they fuck on below?
Jannick Pedersen Fuck on the low
Isaiah Thomas oh yeah, i can it :P
BRUH... This is one of Lupe's best tracks ever. Dope beat, good vocals, beast like flow and message on point.
Good music.
Much good.
Much Wow
This continues to be one of my Lupe standouts. The flow is just far too cold.
Lupe, the fact that you had to dumb down like you said you wouldn't do, shows how wicked the world is.
Not big on lupe but I heard this song years ago I still find myself coming back from time to time 😅 really good song
Still here 9 years later.
This ladies and gentlemen, is what you call a masterpiece
I swear to spirit your my greatest inspiration! your mind is unreal
AEB Music "affirm" is a word that means to swear without the "in vain" impression. I use it a lot and it's even legally correct. you can solemnly affirm in court verses solemnly swear in. just in case anyone cared lol.
Appriciate it homes.
Just Godly!

wake up
Still luv this track today and Lupe stuff is so ahead of this bs today that I consider his Discography timeless. 🙏Lupe Fiasco.
on the real alot of people sound like one dimensional fans, music's an outlet you could drop all kind of shit, some people pursue they're career in desire to keep they're image important and relevant, Lupe makes it pretty clear he could give a fuck less about image.

This is one of my favorite Lupe Fiasco
Songs.
He back on his feeling good about music shįt killin all types of flows and beats who does this better? I'll wait!
NOBODY!!!
Mixtape game. More flexibility to do his shit. He gotta make bullshit comprises when it comes to albums sometimes
Yea I know but even then the wordplay and/or the message be point .
Jay Z does all these better IMO(because Jay Z to me is the GOAT) but Lupe is undoubtedly a legend, a true master at what he does. Fuck, this is actually one of his best songs ever from every single standpoint, from the beat, to the flow, to the message etc. And he just had to be an anime head, makes it more amazing
Lupe this flow is crazy . Keep pushing your boundaries
the intro grows on u
i love trying to sing it! the ending is harder haha
+bibbidy hell yea lol
7ahuful I've liked the intro ever since I listened to the song. It brings hype for what is to come.
I love it
Lupe is keeping hip hop alive. This is the best track I've heard in years
This song is insane. I would like the world to recognize the talent that Lupe has, as they do with Kendrick (rightfully so). Top 2 rappers right now.
lupe's a beast cant wait for this mixtape
the radio doesn't deserve this
One day I might see a Lupe song I don't like... but no time yet!
I- Wha- I- As a fan of Anime, and of both Mazinger and Lupe, what.
Listen. I am 40 years old and I am still a super being. Never stop.
Damm for lupe to know about Mazinger Z doh nice
Lupes' flow on this is amazing.
this is my shit, almost forgot the song title tryin to find this
His flow reminds me of Bone on this. This dope AF Lupe
I liked this after hearing the first 4 seconds of this, cause it's Lupe! Of course it's gonna be amazing, nuff said!
If Lupe Fiasco could make a basic Mazinger story sounds really deep, imagine how deep his take on Getter Robo saga be
one of the best flows of all time.
The lupe I love
I never doubted you Lu, the others did...I never lost faith.
I can't find this song anywhere!!!!
I know some ppl hated how he flowed on this joint but he's undermining the rap game with this and at the same time delivering a deep message with anazing word play as well. Lupe is genius
I just don't like the chick singing on the hook
Not bad, I like it. Even the anime intro and outro.
brain explosion trying to catch all of these bars. fuc it, i'm a lupe gruppie i'll wear dat
ahh damn i love this. feelin it. can't wait for tetsuo and youth
when will he actually drop this... like omg fire lames...he spittin hotfire like dylon on chapells skit
Best MC/artist in the hip hop game... Never got bored of his albums, all really good... Can't wait for the next albumS. peace.
The lyrical breakdown alongside with the ryhme scheme is ridiculous. Lupe is the Champ!
That flow, lyrics. Tooo dope
If you don't like the intro, go on iTunes and press "More Info" from there, go through the tabs until you find the section that allows you to change start and stop time.
this is beautiful. Magical track which hits a nerve
So nostalgic this one
Sinister times; PACIFIC the RIM so I live in the mind...
The one and only lupe fiasco. This song is amazing. So lucky to be able experience this. Thank you
too many bars. Every time i listen to this i catch something i didnt hear the first time. My nigga LU on another level mentally.
Shout out to the true Lupe fans who been known he has bars
This song is Perfect i love it
Great job, Lupe! You are back to killin' it (as if you ever left LOL ). For all of you ignorant and close-minded people, the intro and outro are the Japanese and English versions of the Mazinger Z theme respectively.

This isn't the first anime reference he's made either. Look back at the catalog. Don't stifle the man's genius. Leave the source material in, Lu!
O.O he's truly my favorite rapper now. I thought it was just rumors but if it's true then holy shit that's awesome
I wouldnt say all true lupe fans are anime fans... I personally like some anime, but not most. I know others enjoy his genius and let him put them on something new as well. Lupes lyrics and themes have introduced me to many people, places, and things i havent explored before and wouldnt have otherwise.
***** lol

I absolutely love Lupe but i'm not an anime fan, so i'm not a true Lupe fan?
That robot is perfect, there is nothing to correct or adjust
THISSSSSSSSSSS is the LUPE i know.... THISSSSSSSS! ....PLEASE keep doing this! lmao
Why can't I find this on Spotify! Beast of a track
I felt like this could have went perfectly with tetsuo and youth 100%. Dope song though!!
BlackClass180 yeahhh !!!! lupe is hiddin his gens ..
This song along with the rest of the #LITA "EP", is IMO the Spring of the album T&Y.
LITA songs should of all been on DRAGOS WAVE
Listening to this over and over in 2022
damn..he's been posting so many awesome tracks lately !!
Genius Lupe....simply Genius... ERmazing...Perfect "there is nothing to correct or adjust"
As I said on another song... Lupe you have always been the man. You are on a level most couldn't see with a telescope.
Why isn't this song on an album?! I slept on this one
Bruh.... The message AND the flow?! Amazing!
One of the best songs he has ever made, the balance is perfect.
Seriously this is like my favorite song along with Body of Work and Little Death but I still personally like everything he's dropped as of late!
Should've been on Drogas Wave
Facts
Should have been on anything
Or Drogas Light with Prisoner 1 & 2 with Ayesha Jaco lol (I hope I spelled it right) #SLR #LupeFiasco
Don't let Lupe get back to thinking about robots again. Dope lyrics happen
2018, cznt get enough of this song; its borderline perfect
When Lupe is in full form this happens
Zeno Fiasco... nobody can tell me otherwise
I've listened to this song for about two hours a day since my first time still amazed by the lyrical genius
That Mazinger theme is bliss. Glad to see Lupe is still on his otaku nerd tip. Can't wait for Tetsuo & Youth
song is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dope, feel like this song came off the cool
King of Expression!
I can’t believe this song never made it on a album. Forgot the name of it but finally remembered!!! So glad I did!
Lupe is getting better with age
Tats Tdawg I think so
Tracks like this are why i love his.music
Lupe is the Goat !
One of my favourite Lupe songs
Is it better that I wish i heard this as a sophomore in high-school, or that I know the time is right to hear this, now?
This song felt this way before I heard it
Not on the album posted but great song still
I need "Lost in the Atlantic Ocean" already ! Release it already !
The Great --Tupac -----suggested that we hold these rappers responsible. Lupe is at the top of the list! no dumb down music and it leaves us responsible. Lupe is legendary!
His verses are insane! Absolutely killed it.
i just blew out my headphones and couldn't be more happy about it
I swear have never heard this song and out of no where i started rapping the lyrics wtf
GOAT!!
P.S. To all the people saying Tetsuo & Youth is worse than LITA, I believe I read somewhere that ALL SINGLES have been SCRAPPED. Is that correct? If so, we have no idea what's on T&Y! HYPE!
Just outta curiosity,what's LITA???
djhero0071 the name of this mixtape, Lost In The Atlantic.
where did you read that ?? that would be awesome if its true!!!
TheJ1aa2m3
It's been confirmed that that's the name of his new mixtape...Lost In The Atlantic...do a google search. Also it's a reference to his record label.
Recr I believe TheJ1aa2m3 was referring to my comment about singles being scrapped on T&Y.

Woke up to this. It's gonna be a good day, thanks Lu.
