I got to meet Lupe Fiasco the other day in one of the most UNBELIEVABLE ways and had to share (I don't do social media like that so here it goes). Just two days ago I was leaving home from work on my bike. Before I peddled off, I pressed play and put the song "SEATTLE" from Lupe's "Drill Music In Zion" album on my portable loud speaker that I was listening to 'before' my shift and I was off riding.. I got to the very next block from my job, cross the street, then right before I started peddling heavy I see this person on the opposite corner in front of a store who had a mask on and put his hands up as I was passing him. I assumed it was someone that knew me ( I was still basically next to my job so.. duh.. ) so I crossed the street over to him with "SEATTLE" playing on MAX volume. As I approached, they put their hands down then before I was able to say anything, the person pulled their mask down to reveal that it was LUPE FIASCO HIMSELF!!!!.. What are the ODDS!!? I couldn't BELIEVE it was actually him for a moment but it was in fact him! We were vibing out for a moment listening to his track in real time... I felt like I was seeing a good friend that I haven't seen in a long time frfr! To make it MORE unbelievable, is one of my friends who I haven't seen in over 2 WHOLE years (fellow artist as well) sees me while he's driving in traffic an pulls up for less than a minute to say whats up to me.. and my reply was "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS RIGHT HERE"!! lol. Lupe and I spoke for several minutes after that which seemed like only seconds. He said he was going to MIT ( I found out later on that he is teaching a course there which I had no idea ) I told him how amazing and how appreciated he is and some other stuff then after a few hand shakes and a picture he had to keep it moving ( I had to get a pic because NOBODY other than the homie that pulled up would have believed this story! ). I am beyond blessed to have met one of my favorite Artists in the way that I did. BIG SALUTE to you LUPE!!.. Hopefully I'll see you again in person, if not, I'll be checking for your next show in Boston! Your new album is FIRE btw! - David
Ayo Lupe! If you read this, just wanna say that I took my son to see you in Austin a few years back at the Wille Nelson theater and since he was the only kid they let us sit alone in the balcony so we got to say what up to you and you looked up and nodded and my son still remembers he was 7! 😆 I ended up driving after the show from Austin back to Houston and got there around 3-4 in the morning I was tired as a mugg and I carried his big ass up the stairs lol but when we woke up later that day my son said he had the best time ever! Since then you’ve been his favorite and we will never forget that! FnF up!
One of the greatest shows I've ever been to was Lupe perform at a liquor company sponsored concert in West Palm Beach bandshell (think it was Bacardi) and he absolutely KILLED the show then said he doesn't drink or support liquor consumption and was donating his proceeds to a local youth shelter... bruhh you could heard a pin drop... he literally sobered every person up in that 3000++ crowd... then suddenly the crowd went wild and applauded his courage and realness... Lupe is the absolute TRUTH!!!
Been playing this album for 3 days straight and still can't get enough! It's criminal that Lupe is not not mentioned among K.Dot and J. Cole as G.O.A.T.s because he is actually a notch level higher than both of them lyrically.
I listened to Drill Music in Zion the other day. I never been a huge Lupe fan, but I always heard people talking very highly of him. I wasn't amazed the first couple tracks, but as the album progressed holy shit... it was like everything just clicked and I understood why he's so praised. Truly a phenomenal lyricist. I was sleeping HARD.
So happy you’re still on it homie, you have been one of my favorite rappers since I heard your first album. You’ve put out amazing songs my dude, keep going! Age is nothing but a number and anyone who says “you’re too old” is just a hater. Keep going fam!!
I have never been to a single concert in my entire life. I have been homeless with my entire family of 5 and they get tired of me and I always listen to you. I got a circumstance changing job! I swear you will be my first concert! We are coming back up. I'm always inspired by your music. Thank you for being you and being unwavering.
Lupe Fiasco is touring now to support the Samurai album. I just went to the first stop on the tour last night, it was my first hip-hop show ever and he did a phenomenal job. Hope your personal situation has improved and that you can see him live, you won't regret it!
The greatest lyricist of all time, the only reason this guy isn’t huge is because of a label dispute that stopped him from releasing what he wanted for years
@@garinbaker_ Aesop rock is actually my second favorite after Lupe Lupe can actually, since it's hip hop it's different styles thou so I won't hold it against him Bar for bar, he smokes Aes
Not only is he arguably the greatest lyricist of all time, but Lupe also has smash mainstream hits. Kick Push, Superstar, Show Goes On, Out Of My Head, etc...
Apparently he did even write, just him spitting on the mic and redoing them until he was content with em....second verse is about how he's his own ghost writer.....cuz he no longer writes....Lupes concepts are amazing 💯
Lupe Fiasco is one of the best of all-time and no doubt one the 🐐s. Food And Liquor, The Cool and Food And Liquor 2 are easily some classics that every hip hop fan should have heard. Give this man the love and respect he deserves 😤. Glad he's still blessing us with good music 🙏.
Lupe manages to be a breath of fresh air, a throwback, an Olympic level lyrical athlete, and on some other shit. Effortlessly And Concurrently. Mans built different.
Lupe I couldn’t be more proud as a fan and as the guy who threw the Protest Fiasco Friday for Lasers I couldn’t be happier to see you out here killing it independently! The album is insane! Keep killing it Lupe I knew you would!
The GOAT. For those that are too young or slept on, Lupe's mixtape Fahrenheit 1st & 15th Part 1, which released before Food and Liquor, is absolute fire.
Lupe, to me, you are a genius in hip-hop, a true wordsmith who has mastered his blade. You are one of the golems hidden in the Everest that other artist fear to tread across. I salute you and your innate impact on my upbringing. You have always resonated with those who have famished ears...
My GOAT! The Most polished lyricist ever! The Cool is EASILY the greatest conceptual album ever! I Don't even need to mention the BARS sprinkled throughout the Fahrenheit series... LOVE YOU, Lu✊️‼️
Lupe Fiasco quickly became one of my favorite rappers again with this song and DMIZ. I say again because I stopped listening for a while after DROGAS Light, which I actually enjoy. I remembered how I loved bumping ITAL, Words I Never Said, Battle Scars, B**ch Bad, The Show Goes On, Lamborghini Angels, Gold Watch. Tetsuo & Youth is a masterpiece, higher art than regular music. I just can't put it in the same league as regular rap, that album truly belongs with the greatest rap albums ever made.
Major labels let the world down by not backing Lu's creative visions, his videos deserve a lot more than "rapper hands". His lyrics are an entire universe
Not gonna lie, have not listened to Lupe since T&Y, I didn't know whatI was missing. As usual, the lyrics are definitely going need to be unpacked. I've never fully graped the nuance of a Lupe song on first listen lol.
You did your thing with the whole DMZ project Lupe . Funny thing is I hadn’t even anticipated this project but had been bumping a lot of your projects (enemy of the state x the cool) a lot lately. Your ability to paint such a different landscape from our day to day with such clarity and vivid detail is like a cyberpunk /anime/hood/dystopian novel that I enjoy listening to every time. I hope you continue to bless us with your talent as long as it doesn’t come at your mental emotional and physical well being . Appreciate your craft bro
I don’t think many people truly realize how legendary Lupe is. Most of it goes over my head. We are witnessing history in motion and if Lupe benefits then humanity does as well
Lupe will be around like 2 pac he is timeless forever cause he is rhyming from the source of consciousness, when you OVER stand that then you will inner-stand Lupe fiasco
Lets get this video up on those numbers. Lupe deserves to be seen on bigger stage for his great work
@@al1410 Still it doesn't feel like he's respected the way we know he should be.
Three things that are certain in life:
1. Life
2. Death
3. People sleeping on Lupe
@@Beaumont99 he's respected by his peers. The biggest rappers, producers etc. He just tired of pandering to the masses tastes and just does music he wants to make
@@devvv4616 my point was he’s not respected nearly enough.

Lupe Fiasco stands alone amongst MC’s for his style, originality,,and creative genius. His style and flow are otherworldly!
Lupe Fiasco is the greatest lyricist to ever put pen to paper.
Keep letting people know!
Yea I used to think it was Nas but Lupe surpassed him in my opinion.

Why would he be mentioned among them? He’s the professor. They still a student.
Matter fact Lupe is the Dean.

Greatest lyricist?
Ever heard of Kendrick, Eminem, Nas, or J Cole?
Lupe is the GOAT, but let's not get carried away here.
@@doctordilanka you don’t rap
@@jermaineblalock5553 Neither do you, so what's your point?
Can I just how mental it is he wrote and recorded this whole album in 3 days? That is insane. Best rap album this year for me
In a couple of years for SURE.
Apparently he did even write, just him spitting on the mic and redoing them until he was content with em....second verse is about how he's his own ghost writer.....cuz he no longer writes....Lupes concepts are amazing 💯
Kind of mad he did the whole thing in 3 days, that's not a flex. Just missed potential.
Just goes to show you how easy drill music is to produce
Lupe going off as always 🔥🔥
THANK YOU FOR NOT QUITING MUSIC 🎶 🐐
Lupe you did something that's hard to do. Became a teacher for the chi. You're a blessing
Lupe Fiasco is one of the best of all-time and no doubt one the 🐐s. Food And Liquor, The Cool and Food And Liquor 2 are easily some classics that every hip hop fan should have heard. Give this man the love and respect he deserves 😤. Glad he's still blessing us with good music 🙏.
Food and liquor 2 is not a classic but I feel you tho 💯
Tetsuo and youth too :)
@@kkraft-picasso its not a Classic cuz there is too much truth in it :/
@@Quantumfluxfield tracks been out for a minute. My man's just stating facts.
You clearly ain't heard his two modern classics: T&Y and drogas Wave. Not to mention DMIZ

Effortlessly
And
Concurrently.
Mans built different.
Lupe can really rap.. Effortlessly, Its ridiculous.
This should have 300 million views
I just came here to say LUPE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!! 👑🐐🏆
He’s not my favorite but he is definitely the greatest I’ve heard
I would like to be a trader. Do you have any tutorials for TA and chart reading?
One of? THE GOAT!
Amen
Most underrated MC of all time.
Much love from 🇮🇹

The goat lyricist. Will always be in my top 3. But what's an infrared dot to a whole dot gov?
