Lupe Fiasco sixth studio album is the first of three releases he has planned for 2017.

'Drogas Light' was released on his own 1st and 15th label as an independent project. Here are our thoughts on Lupe's latest project. Let us know what you think of it in the comment section.

What Ken got that comb for? To comb his thoughts? LOL!
CRYING!!!
Leo Miller LMFAOOOOO
Leo Miller Hahahahahah
Leo Miller Damn. 😂😂😂
lmao probably for the beard but LMAO
For the culture...
Kennith Inge We gotta hope those next two albums are damn near perfect, and apparently this was just a bunch of off tracks due to it being "light".
This is why I love this channel! Love all the different perspectives and discussion in terms of people not taking time to properly digest or review albums.
Pretty sure his goal is for these to be the Magnum Opus, if Tetsuo and Youth wasn't it that is.
Kennith Inge do a review on Starlito- "Manifest Destiny" album
this album has to be a joke
So basically this album threw DEHH for a Lupe.

Cole Jordan comment of the year right here
Cole Jordan that's a bar
Took me a minute to get this. W
Cole Jordan do you know the instrument at 0:35 ??
DEHH RUNNING MUSIC REVIEWS AND NOW THEY GOT A PODCAST? ROD GOT TO WORK.
William McCarty
Big quint!!
*Indeed!*
William McCarty do you know the instrument at 0:35 ??
Atlantic wanted him to go commercial. now he's off Atlantic and this album has been on ESPN for two months
T and Y was great. F N L 2 was super underrated too in my opinion. I pretend Light didnt happen.
this is that classic dehh review style
Lupe got 5 black belts, and his dad used to run a dojo, hence the samurai pic. But yeah, I agree Drogas Light is like okay, it was meant for him to performed at concerts. I'm still waiting for Drogas & Skulls though. Those are the real albums.
21:04
Feefo: That's why I don't want to hear his next album
Ken: I do
Just proved that Ken is actually looking forward to an album since he said he never is lol.
T Daniels Caught him slippin lol.
last years video he actually was looking foward for another album he stays slipping
Drogas Light is apparently a throwaway album. Drogas is "supposed" to be a lyrical miracle lupe album (hopefully)
Exactly
Octavian Johnson Lupe ensured it. We getting the real shit next.
The Boy - Lol don't shoot the messenger I'm just saying what he said
Yup
yall actin like lupe didnt just drop a classic album in tetsuo and youth
Did you watch the T&Y review? It was overwhelmingly positive?
yeah i watched it but everybody besides myke was like lupe's career is a disappointment he's inconsistent and i disagree i feel like lasers is his only bad album the rest of his albums have been good to great
I guess that's fair. I mean to be honest, if you like the sound you like the sound. I think the only objective thing about hip hop is whether or not the person is spitting. Beat choice and sound aside.
cat tnt stop calling everything a classic
furthestfromthesun. Haha, I thought T&Y was damn near classic status, at least for Lu
Yall notice Myke dont have eyebrows?
no because they don't exist
Cameronmy
lmao
lol they exist you just gotta squint a little bit
This is gonna break my heart ugh lol
This is my least fave Lupe project, but Im still a Stan and think that Drogas Deep will be amazing. My theory is that he made this as his first independent project to piss off Atlantic and show he can make mainstream music like they would want but without the drama. But IDK, I guess he doesn't get a free pass. BUT PLEASE GIVE him 1 more shot lol Drogas Deep will be that shit. I still liked a lot of songs on this project, thought a lot of this shit banged.
UPDATE
Myke just saved the video for me again hahaha!!! I agree with him, 10000% not going back to this project a lot. Think he showing that he can do mainstream music but better with a Lupe twist But he did show off his skill MAJOR on these songs.
Cant believe you guys didn't talk about the Momma track outro !
haha great video tho
I feel like people always want Lupe to preach to them. If he's not delivering some deep message they don't care, while Lupe has always been the kind to experiment and have fun with his music.
Myke hit it right on the money! Lupe is rapping on beats the rest of the group just doesn't want to hear Lupe over.
I'm a big Lupe fan, full disclosure. I liked this and Lasers. But definitely get why folks are confused and not feeling.
But we definitely need to make a distinction between what we don't want to hear and stuff that is ACTUALLY terrible.
LET LUPE PLAY!!! lol
creativebobbie He had trap beats on Tetsuo & Youth and those tracks were great. So what's the deal with people's issues with the trap beats on this album? Not every time I wanna hear Lupe rap over a boom bap beat. What's great about him is he doesn't limit himself to just one style of production. He rummages threw a few before he can find the ones that suits him best. That's always been Lupe.
I think the problem is Lupe is one of the artists in rap that has been boxed in by "fans" and fans alike. They expect damn near every verse to be a double entendre and over the same type of production. And what is crazy is people talked shit about his style of subject matter and beat choice and lyrical ability when he came out with F&L and are now acting like they loved it from jump knowing they didn't.
+kooleyBear This is true. When he goes into SLR mode people complain about him being too lyrical. When he simplifies the lyricism he's accused of dumbing it down. The man just can't win with everybody.
I fully agree!
B-Mint1994 this is bad lyricism and music. Mixtape Lupe, cool, f&l, t&y lupe raps his ass office! Here he's avg at best
Lupe been street before he was a conscious rapper
He was still dropping that knowledge though, he took a unique angle on the street stuff.
james jobber Still, listen to the lyrics dude.
I get the disappointment but WHAT ABOUT TETSUO & YOUTH!!! Why are people acting like he hasn't released naything good since The Cool. T&Y is a masterpiece, he still has made good music in the recent past
Rohan also Pharoah Heights
Rohan Because people have short attention spans/memories. They expect everything Rappers/artist put out to be on some hot fire shit ya dig.
That too. GREAT EP
Well I think people certainly have a right to be disappointed with Drogas LIGHT, because I was too as a big Lupe fan... I just wanted to retain perspective that T&Y was only a few years ago and it was unbelievably good
Rohan When DROGAS really drops I hope he pulls through and gives us something greater than T&Y.
To this day I still play at least one T&Y song a week and i can listen to that full album everytime
I feel like Myke wants any excuse to disagree with someone
Or he just has a different fucking opinion?
And I feel like y'all come up with any excuse to post some negative bullshit in our comment section.
Chill out mate, didn't know it was illegal to have an opinion. No need to be so confrontational
Y'all are hilarious. You say some bullshit clearly trying to get a response, but when you get one you act like I'm a bad guy. Hahaha! Dish it...take it. That's life, bro.
Come on Myke, you're clearly a very educated and eloquent guy, but whenever someone appears to disagree with your opinion, you seem to get very defensive. Just my opinion bro, I appreciate what you're doing
How does Feefo not mess with album? It bumps in the whip
cause lupe washed
Angad Babra it ain't bump in the whip like that lol food n liquor and the cool bump in the whip this meh
Angad Babra lmao like his favourite line
This album does bump though... This is only one of 3 albums meant to catch people's ear. This was a Lazer's reboot basically lol I think the next 2 albums will be similar to the Cool and Tetsuo.
Angad Babra
Hell yeah it does
We in this bitch! Shout out to the other Patreon supporters
dajhier1 yeah! yeah! yeah!
dajhier1 I know your true intentions.
Should have made this a free mixtape to hype the album. First half was tight second half fell off real quick.
Thank you very much. This review led to me to listening to Lupe Fiasco's tetsuo and youth.
I feel like this album would've been bad/mediocre from anybody, but coming from Lupe just makes it so much worse. Like Feefo, I listened to this multiple times and it just didn't get any better for me 'cuz it's sloppy as hell. Couple of decent moments here & there but meh.
Luke James I don't think it's bad as worst Album of the year. too me they're moments where I like but songs I dislike we're over the top. jump, made in USA, dopamine lit are dope, overall he just missed with it. Lasers was worse cause we expect super complex better example this is shape of inconsistency.
Luke James i completely agreeee
Thank y'all for uploading this today, this shit'll get me through the night
tropojay1
Same here
tropojay1 same smh
For some reason I love whenever Myke says the word "Fuckin." Shit cracks me up.
7:10 Ab-soul These Days was prefect mocking how rappers/music sound today, haven't heard this album though...
I deleted Drogas Light. I will stick with Tesuo and Youth and act as if Drogas never happened.
Mansur Omar i second that! only songs i like are kill, dopamine, and jump is ok... beat is hard, dont care for lyrics
Mansur Omar yeah imma wait for DROGAS
DROGAS didn't happen. This is Drogas *LIGHT*
Off topic but Oddisee drops on Friday...can't wait
JJPHILLYLG Hope they gonna review this,I know Beezy430 is a huge fan of him..
Thanks Myke and Ken for a great review.
Didn't lupe said that this album was a compilation of old songs he had?
david flores
yeah i think so
yea this is Drogas LIGHT. The real Drogas drops in a few months.
Yeah but people don’t pay full attention, Lupe deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point, before judging looking into what’s really going on, he’s tryna be done with Atlantic so he just put out old songs that he never has put out
I just want another Tetsuo & Youth level project. Hopefully DROGAS Wave & SKULLS are dope...
Glad to see that DEHH enjoyed his next project. Drogas Wave was dope.
Is the Mic Still On is so entertaining and real. Congrats Feefo on the engagement. Myke's Keith Sweat story was heartbreaking.
Wish I could support you guys on Patreon, but currently broke. Keep it up, great video as always.
This album is the light version of what's to come on the next two. Favorite tracks were Dopamine lit, NGL, Made in the USA, Tranquillo, More than my Heart.
I love hearing everybody's opinion on this channel.
people out here givin' up on lupe acting like he didn't drop two quality projects before this, just 'cause this wasn't all that, it doesn't mean the next one will be as bad, it's lupe bruh
rmsg120nsb Factz
rmsg120nsb I thought F&L 2 was okay. T&Y was straight up fire though.
i wasn't even talking about f&l 2 tho, pharoah height ep right after tetsuo & youth
rmsg120nsb Oh, well in that case I AGREE!!
After hearing Lupe on that Justice League track 'No Problems' I was hoping to hear him on more hyper beats and he delivered on here. The track 'Jump' sounds so god damn good because Lupe can adapt to a beat like that and still spit bars. I would rather hear a project from Lupe and King Los over Kendrick and Cole. Los and Lupe are extremely versatile when it comes to flows.
Didn't Lupe say he deliberately made this lyrically "light" to give himself a break cause he wanted to take a break and keep things distinctly not "jazzy" because he's saving all his lyricism for "Drogas". Remember reading that somewhere.
Pieces of a man yeah on his own review. Dehh needs to read that
JM C they briefly talked about Lupe's review
I liked this album.
This was cool album!
Dou Ahou
Yeah it was pretty good
lupe tweeted this was his revision to lasers. to me as a lupe stan this is a throwaway album and I'm hoping the other albums he's suppose to drop this year will be the conceptual lyrical I love. still don't hate the album. to one of your other videos, I'm still checking on lupe when he comes out again
I'm just going to skip the light version.
MF Whom ? I love your name and even though I don't blame you, I think there's a couple songs worth listening to, but just a couple.
Rod Sully which ones ?
MF Whom ? The last song on the album was the best one. I only liked about 3 songs mind you.
MF Whom ? Dopamine Lit
more than my heart, kill, made in the USA & ngl.
The next album "Drogas" which will be out in a couple months will pull Feefo, B, and Rod back in as Lupe fans. Lupe basically said this is a throwaway album, but Drogas is 11/10 masterpiece. It will be on Tetsuo & Youth, F&L 1, and The Cool level, maybe better.
Great videos and I respect all of your guys perspectives fr
I didn't like this album at all when I initially listened to it because it was such a departure from Lupe's other content. But once I got over the fact that this was Lupe, I started enjoying for what it was. He still flowing on here. It's commercial sounding but not overly poppy and fluffy like Lasers. It's basically Lasers done right.
You got it. These guys will have you think Sadistik doing Trap shit is cool, but Lupe doing it is bad. See how weird that is?
I wanna see them have an in depth conversation about Lupe's career. SO INTERESTING
We may look back at this album very differently than the initial reaction. This guy is getting a strong reaction, I think that was his aim. And this album is mostly supposed to set us up for the next two. I prefer this to getting another Tetsuo and Youth to be honest, and am very interested to see what he does next.
Btw Lupe said few months back before this album release that he didn't want to mix up this turn up typa shit with his straight conscious Lupe shit. Hence DROGAS light. I didn't fw this project but it's good that he did it this way instead of tryna slip in these typa records on DROGAS
This is just the Light version.. I can't wait for DROGAS!
Bruh, thank you for the review. I agree there is no consistency. I expect more.
Lupe is so damn talented. He just needs someone over him guiding him musically like jay z did at first.
Jay Z had nothing to do with food & liquor. Tht album was already done before he was even signed. And honestly, if you go back to this album, you’re telling me it’s that bad? No, it’s not
I saw this album as T&Y throwaway tracks recorded since 2013. His label fucked him over so why not release the stuff that didn't make T&Y and the 2 upcoming albums. This album was ok nothing terrible. Better than lasers lmao
And the funny part is he has said multiple times before it was released that it was old songs that didn't make the cut lol.
Lupe's light work is still sick af, zone out the beats and just appreciate the guys mic presence!
Nice review, justified! And loving the new layout and designs in recent episodes. Keep up the great work!
Would you be interested in doing another important UK release? Wiley - Godfather.
He just got a whole string of awards for lifetime achievements, recognition in the UK urban scene, and also his new album 'Godfather' is actually mental - with some pretty sweet guest appearances, and a shit ton of great production, flows, and rhymes!
He's often referred to Grime's godfather if you please, so he's like the UK's grime equivalent to hip-hop's Rakim to make a metaphorical comparison. Be awesome to see what you guys think of it :)
Lupe been going crazy on trap beats for years. Y'all either never heard or forgot about some of his features on Bun B's "Swang On 'Em" or LEP Bogus Boys' "Zombieland".
After Tranquillo the album is near unlistenable
This album is Lupe using the current climate of rap music to floss his styles as an emcee. This is what HIPHOP purists would have to deal with to make it like oh...JAYz does even Drake...both rappers have excellent skills as emcees, but todays rap fans don't fully give a focused thought to the music they digest. All aspects of HIPHOP culture is deeper than just consumerism...HIPHOP is soul of artistic creatives on display & all the contradictions you go through to get better and help others look at the bigger picture. In short Lupe is keeping his track record going strong, make a mix tape of all his good content and avoid the throwaways...he released enough content. Great review, as always I appreciate the honesty.
Personally I liked "Pick Up The Phone". It was the first song I heard from Lupe after a long while of me NOT listening to him. I thought it was a call back for his old hit "Superstar". Both have the same beat intro and the same artist doing the chorus. I imagine he was trying to create that same reaction Superstar received. If he had succeeded, his album would of probably did better with sales I guess. Either way, it had a simple and meaningful concept, with the beat and flow that reminded me of Superstar. In which led me to start listening to Lupe again, but that's my take on that song. Enjoyed the album for what it was even though I don't listen to trap music as much. Lupe's music always intrigues me even though its not what expect. Liked the video, and subscribed. That is all...
Straight-up: This is fighting game music.
Its called Drogas light...
I look at it as a precursor of sorts for Lupe's lighter audience leading up to Drogas which will be more like a Tetsuo & Youth of sorts. This album did exactly what it was supposed to and it executed it well. Drogas will be more the album you guys are looking for and YES..LUPE IS RAPPING ON HERE.
@ 5:00 I hope we're able to be good enough to be the exception to this and give detailed and valid reviews of music. And if we're not the people are able to call us out on it.
I'd love to see a review on the new Jidenna- The Chief album that I was definitely surprised by. It is a project that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Leave Lupe alone, this album is a 6/10. Wait for the next album
For what I would call a throwaway album, I thought it was better than expected but still not something I'll really come back to. DROGAS should be where it's at, as Lupe said, "Illmatic meets Illmatic meets Illmatic", so hopefully it's a pleasant surprise.
That album is very dope to me. He dropping all kind of shit in there. I listen almost daily
This album is pretty good, but I like Tetsuo and Youth more.
MF Whom ? I didn't say it was as good as Tetsuo and Youth. I said this album was pretty good(imo), but I like Tetsuo and Youth more.
He told everyone what the intent was in the review he wrote. It was supposed to be a Lasers reboot. Also, he said a lot of these are throw away tracks that weren't meant to be too deep. They also are songs that are for performance. The next 2 albums he said are no where in this lane.
Also, I think NGL is the best track on the album, it reminds me a lot of the Deliver track on Testuo & Youth and a little bit of Mortal Man on To Pimp a Butterfly. I think the primary thing that holds this album back is the overall presentation and yeah the production feels like it could of had more polish to them, the album feels so rushed but Lupe really did his thing on most tracks in my opinion. Kinda sucks that this album is gonna be slept on like that but I completely get where everybody is coming from. I watched the vid again and I get what myke and rod are talking about with just listening and reading the lyrics, on a brand new listen I always just listen and enjoy it so I can naturally absorb everything each song has to offer, ESPECIALLY if I don't have to use headphones, I usually only look up and read the lyrics if I'm trying to analyze them in a deeper way which personally isn't fun and I very rarely do unless your lyrics are THAT perplexing to the point that just listening to them isn't enough, but I get how it can enhance your understanding and appreciation for a track and I'm thankful you guys brought that up because I've never put any thought into it. In a way this album just makes me anticipate even more of what Lupe has in store for his next project but I seriously hope he properly nurtures that album and doesn't sell himself short with it, when you got lyrics like what were on NGL and how unique Made in the usa were, Lupe definitely has some legendary lyricism and he can drop a seriously ground-breaking rap album, I don't know what else to say I just really hope he takes the same work-ethic approach on his next album the way he did with Tetsuo & Youth, it'll be heartbreaking if he doesn't!
Bruh, I'm 14 minutes and this review is INTENSE as fuck. Everyone has similar opinions about this album, dayum.
if they don't make a
"...but is he rappin'?" t-shirt, it's a missed opportunity. I'd buy that shit right now.
Mike always speaking my mind..
I havent listened to this yet, but I'm really confused by the reviews. So people think Lupe can rap, but his beats are subpar.. when he raps over mainstream/modern/trendy beats, people say they don't want to hear him over the production. ???
JonathanIsrael708 His mainstream beats are subpar, the cool and FNL had dope production.
JonathanIsrael708 Issue was that his bars were dumbed down on the album, even in a concert video he said "this album is for the dumb people, DROGAS is for the intellectuals", also said it was music from the vaults, but have faith, Lupe said "DROGAS" will be a masterpiece when it drops
+Northsyde The Cool is incredible but let's not lie that production was some struggle shit. They were good beats but the production is a different matter entirely. Two fucking beats went completely off beat in the album
Superior 2K, great context that adds some sense to the confusion.
Mainstream trendy beats aren't that good. Lupe is best over soul samples, loops and shit like that.
Myke, Ken, Feefo and Beezy if you want to review a super dope album listen to CES Cru's new Album Catastrophic Event Specialists. It came out the same day as Lupe's. Please review it if your busy schedule allows it.
I felt the same way at first but I heard Lu wanted to do songs that were fun to perform. But he already had songs that were fun to perform. Also, I loved some of the "poppy" joints. Because he could still RAP on them, like High and even Pick Up The Phone. Kill was my shit, I even did a tribute video to it (got taken down but I got to see butt cheeks so it's cool lol). I will admit it was kind of all over the place as far as sound selection and not unifying the tracks. He can flow on all types of beats but kinda stuffed those different sounds in one album. We gotta understand some artists just grow differently than what the core fans desire. It's not always going to please everyone, and I'm not knocking anyone for not loving this album.
food and liquor 1, the cool, tetsuo and youth, that's it.
Food and liquor 2 wasn't bad... I kinda liked lasers tbh
Drogas Waves
Can't wait for DROGAS. Mural Jr already has me interested
He reviewed his own album and did say it's leftover songs from his previous couple works, it should be free imo
TheSnoozeFox he has the whole damn thing on his channel
He even says in the intro "this ain't for billboard, you can stream the album on silk Road"
DEHH always with the great content
I'd love to see a Jonwayne's Rap Album Two review.
YES. DEHH, if you're reading this check this album out. Also the new Quelle Chris joint.
Review Nav's album - new rapper on the block but supported by The Weeknd, would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Also would be interesting to hear your take on Stormzy's album too.
ok this review is interesting not what I expected but good,all in all I agree with myke
Don't give up on Lupe yet, he still got it and Drogas is gonna be lit. 🔥🔥
I give it a 10/10 for what it's for.Amazing music.Fuck the lyrics, this shit goes hard.Good sound quality. You can tell it was mixed and mastered heavily.
Not making an excuse for this album, but lupe's an artist you can't put in a box. This guy has made a rock album, does DJ ing from time to time, and of course raps. Good, bad or indifferent, Lupe does not play by our rules.
Most of the songs on Drogas Light were recorded in 2013-2014.
Leftovers and throwaways from the period when T&Y was gunna be a Trap-beats album with Lupe content & lyricism.
Songs that didn't make the cut, no longer fit the theme for what T&Y became or were entirely too "pop" to fit anywhere else ended up on here.
It's kinda hilarious that Lu goes out of his way to call it a LIGHT album but people are still confused.
He even went so far as to review it himself, which is really the most accurate review I've seen thus far.
Nevertheless, if you want to make the argument that you'd rather no album than an album of leftovers the artist himself didn't feel worthwhile to feature on his other more serious projects, then hey, I can't knock that opinion. For what it's worth it, I'm still looking forward to Drogas sans the filler though.
To be honest, i think feef completely described what my take was on Chances coloring book.
I thought coloring book was all over the place and really was reaching for too much while holding no form at all.
It seemed to be confused if it wanted to be trap influenced or gospel influenced or R&B influenced. Personally it just didnt mix well at all.
All things said, i think Lupe's album held similarities to that as well.
I figured this review would go like this. I liked a few tracks on the album. I can't say this is a horrible album because I don't passionately hate all the songs. I don't like them, but I can't say they are garbage. I'm looking forward to his next project. I want to see what this 3 album year is going to look like in the end.
Thank you Mike!
Album serves its purpose of pop rap. Lupe delivered in that sense. It's just not the Lupe we want to hear, but it's good pop rap.
Hopefully he doesn't cross over and this Drogas is LIGHT
This is only a dud if DROGAS and Skulls flop
Honestly, Lupe's own review sums up this album perfectly. To me the first 8 tracks are good. Eh I'll throw Kill in there too. Those tracks could've made for a solid EP. As a whole album it's...eh. I understand what Lupe wanted to do, I feel like he lowkey succeeded. Best way to describe this album, Lupe made Drogas Light so he can finally replace Lasers as the mainstream album in his discog. It'll make for a pretty good album to hear in concert.
I agree with the guy sort of defending the album (don't know anyone's names since I'm new to this channel).
It was not what anyone was hoping for, thus everyone immediately decided to hate it.
When it first dropped I hated it too. I listened to the album a few times to really digest it and I dig it now to an extent.
It's not a throw-away album. The first half or so is great. The pop songs afterward are what killed it.
i just heard futures mask off beat and if it sounds like that i might be feeling this, i gotta go listen
Bruh, he said this is his final record for Atlantic. Apparently he wrote a masterpiece for the real DROGAS, but he knew the label would shit all over his concept, so he dropped DROGAS Light to satisfy the terms of the deal, and when he drops DROGAS independently it'll be the real thing..
Damn... Myke killed this review!
Late night reviews are the best
S.O.S. Soundtrakk we need you bruh get your mans
Everyone look up the music video for Pick Up the Phone. It literally changes everything you thought the song was about.
I think Myke gets it. When I heard the album I heard a tongue and cheek satire of modern music. I agree when Myke said "Look at this shit, I can do it better." I think that's what Lupe was going for. If Drake put out Promise that sound would blow up, but he couldn't have done it as well.
DROGAS LIGHT should of been a 10 track album. Lupe went in hard, regardless of the poppy sound, Lupe rapped on the first, 2nd 3rd, and 5th tracks. I give it a solid 8. I hope that DROGAS is a trilogy, I wanna hear more of Lupe.
Myke was on point. This isn't expected from Lupe but i still thoroughly enjoyed most of the album. He took mainstream trap style beats and puts his lyrics over it. I thought it worked out mostly.
I think this is Lupe being light. He throwing light jabs he ain't trying he playing. When he goes to medium he will be going hard add. With the last one with him being a perfect Lupe for himself, his fans and his style.
Lupe said this was a refined Lasers. These were literally all the throwaways from T&Y when the label wanted a pop sound
