Didn’t he paint DMIZ and T&Y covers? Did he also paint this one or is it another artist
It's another artist
Remember how with Drogas Wave Lupe’s big thing was using music to “resurrect” people
Obviously this is him doing that with Amy
But it’s definitely not a coincidence that for this track with this title, Soundtrakk also “resurrected” Nujabes. Very nice touch
I think the chorus is cute and fun. It helped that I heard the quote from Amy first
The verses are solid there’s a lot of meaning in the first verse that isn’t immediately obvious. It is a nice ode to the life of being an artist, and you can hear Lupe’s perspective in there
Similar to DMIZ though I’m getting slight “undercooked” vibes I feel like this could use a 3rd verse and a little extra production but we’ll see what these other records are like
Flow is pretty good for modern lupe
I don’t need to hear him start a song with “and they say and they say” ever again tho, I’ve been tired of that for like 3 albums
Keeping my thoughts to myself until the album drops.
Samurai was cool.
This entire concept is stupid and the single is mid. This of all Lupe projects should've been scrapped... Especially with the others that were rumored before and after this was conceived years ago.

Literally.. Roy would’ve been better.
But my guess is he didn’t want to make a RTJ type album.
Lupe a Zionist cornball sucking drake d*** for clout
Nigga fell off after the cool FACTS! Well maybe enemy of the state but after that….ASS
Lupe’s career is somewhere stuck between Joe budden mood music and fabolous
He’s the dr umar of rap holier than thou
Kinda like nas ass sponsoring Hennessy like a f***ing hypocrite…..
Building casinos in time square when the people from your hood struggling more than ever.
I hate rap purist they always end up f***ing sell outs HIGH KEY

And Skulls tbh
Lupe verses are impressive on a technical level like the 2nd verse of this song, his rhyme scheme is crazy.
But ngl since DW I don't really have an idea on what he's rapping about sometimes. Like I get the overall concept of the album. But I don't really get what the subject matter of this song is supposed to be.
He's gotten overly wordy since T&Y and it doesn't help that the production has gotten worse. He's not as bad as Em with it. But I do wished he toned it down
I think LupEnd would be a great finale if he didn't scrap it. I think lupe is good with mixtapes and loosies, he doesn't have much to say but I will listen, perhaps there'll be Mural Nephew
Damn I thought yall would be going crazy over this Cake song on here. The rapping on it is CRAZZY!
I’m confused lol

man idk that last release wasn't for me.. I think nothing is gonna touch Drogas Waves for awhile huh?
Really surprised at the reception here. The track is good. I always enjoyed lupes easy listening tracks. He 2/2 rn
he is 2/2 on singles
im really liking what he is cooking up for this album is pretty excited for it
That second verse is insane on Cake but wtf is that hook mehn. Smh. This sounds like he didn’t spend enough time fleshing out these songs.
Also wtf are these songs even about. It just seems like he is rapping to rap without any intended purpose.
It’s good rapping though I can’t lie.

"A lot of the records are me. Some are from the POV of a character. and some are me. The album weaves things from my life as an artist, touching on things other artists go through.” The narrative follows a battle rapper through various moments in his career, starting with how they honed their battle rap skills, following their career through different moments."
First song (Samurai) is influenced by Amy Winehouse saying she wants to be a battle rapper (it's in her point of view). Cake is more about him and making music (and how fans influence the music).
The videos couldve done much better explaining this ha
