Wish we had Nas' reaction recorded the first time he heard King Nas by Loopy
I imagine him wylin out on some
![]()
type s*** lmao
You know who did rap with Lupe tho
So the pen is mightier than the sword, my Lord
My first picture was a line-up, now I'm on the Forbes (Unh)
And I still remain the artiste through thees all
If you force my hand, I'll be forced to draw
Nas made Illmatic. Don’t talk to me about him rapping. He don’t have to rap with anyone after making that his debut
Ghetto mythologies colonize my mind constantly
To shine sonically in the Chi, Divine Comedy
I vibe consciously to override suicide inside
Honestly 'cause they don't wanna honor me and honesty
Black king poetic with Nat King's aesthetic
Half-dream, half-machine where the black queens get naked
For a dollar from a scholar like me
Not at all bothered with what a sodomite see, flippant
A thousand grams get dissolved in the kitchen
Heart wrenchin', part played, took away from my ascension
Crooked ways brought from car lookaways from tooken Js
But it's too late for your prevention 'cause I'm playin' my position
Bruhhhh
It's too dense a style for a casual listener to feel it.
Nas was in the clouds with it but remained grounded enough for the project shorty to take it in.
It's what separates a dope lyricist from an artist who touches the masses
Is this the album that was done when Nas album done came out?
No I don’t think so. I don’t think that album was finished.

For sure but when I'm in my zone vibin to s*** I'm not worryin about how the casual listener might feel
You right tho
He still had a moment with Superstar

I wish we got whatever that was gonna be
They thought I'd make another Illmatic, but it's always forward I'm movin'
Never backwards, stupid, here's another classic
GOAT!

He had a poppy hook to balance all the layered lyricism.
People s*** on his pop albums on Atlantic but they had to do that to sell Lupe albums to the masses.
Need Distant Relatives II after this
Junior Gong really went head to head with the black god of rap.

Not everyone is meant to be a star, it's fine

See that's what makes Lupe great, his music is the perfect middle ground between lyrical and accessible

When the label was forcing him to make those kinda songs, yeah.
But left to his own devices hes more content to put out very niche music to a much smaller demographic.
As talented as he is, he should be more important to the game.
Man a Lupe x Nas collab album would be GOAT
looks like something like that may be on the way lol
Wrong.
That would be this
