I liked some songs on F&L II. The only song Lupe has released more recently that I ever revisit is Deliver, and this might be an album full of Delivers.
You're not a fan of Drogas Wave? That album was phenomenal, bro.
Marketing/distribution for this is going to need to be way better than whatever they did for Wave
0 promo, 0 interviews, music video 6 months later, etc.

Deliver over King Nas and Adoration of the Magi? Don't know man.
Only good beat on FnL 2 was Strange Fruition and that song got ruined the moment I started hearing protect your butthole on the hook.
Kinda wish Pharoah Height was on streaming.
Valleys >>>
It used to be on spotify. Havent had spotify for years tho.
I’m not falling for this no more but I do want to get proven wrong
Is it time ?

Not to mention changing the release date at the last minute, and forgetting to tell all distribution platforms, so the album leaked a week ahead of time and everyone that actually did know there was an album coming just listened to the leaked files

Falling for what? Album is done and mixed. No turning back now. Just guessing they’ll wait till after the holidays at this point

Just checked. Not on Spotify
Been listening to Blur My Hands on repeat for the last few weeks. That melody is crazy. Need some dope melodies from this as well.

The end of Madonna where he says
"Momma said my son never been in no trouble"
Is one of my all time favorite musical moments/bridges whatever you call it. I rewind the song just for that part. Lupes ear for melodies is elite

Love that beat so much
Check out the mixer’s ig account. He talks about some of the beats on this album

WAV Files followed the melody formula from it

the beginning of I believe the third verse of adoration of the magi draws that same feeling out of me every few months
"Can't be eyes closed when you side scroll
You not the first person
The first person from your first curse until your first cursive
And your curse words is in the curve version
It occurs virgin is the word version
That refers perfect to the first person
In the third verse, who's really me
In the third person but prefers the first one"
My favorite Lupe flow I can remember off the top of my head. He was so smooth

I think Lupe is one of the worst artists that could go independent personality wise honesty haha
a lot of the externals with optimally delivering a project and extending a project's longevity, that isn't things he really cares for
I think if you get his input on a music video, it could come out interesting, but just asking him to be the impetus behind it occurring and giving him a strapped budget, I just don't think it's a great situation. But that was his first real project being independent, so maybe it'll be mildly better. Probably not in terms of MVs with him being strapped into the crib for such an extended period of time though haha
Anonymous had me excited for Testsuo and Youth. The original singles for T&Y were mid but once Anonymous stepped in and Atlantic records folded the released product was on par with his first 2 albums. Drogas wave had potential too if he cut that s*** to 10-12 songs.
from what I hear about the direction of that project originally and how little Lupe's heart was in that s***, I think dude's career would've completely folded if it came out as it was intended
it sounded like it was almost as soulless as the worst parts of F&L 2
