He was the first rapper that put me onto commes de garcon and undercover. I think his fashion game is slept on too. When you think of fly niggas in rap he never comes to mind, but he was on a different wave than most back then.

Maybe it wasn't entirely his fault, but s*** happens

Damn, no one mentioned The Cool Kids yet.

I know, still an unforgettable moment for the forum

People forget and don’t know how popular Lupe was in the mid 00s amongst rap fans. The hype for F&L after the Fahrenheit tapes was crazy. Then it leaked and he went and remade that whole mf. He managed to have hits and have two gold albums while keeping it on the conscious tip

He influenced a lot of peoples favs too, even tho lasers essa weedplate recycle bin classic I wonder how Lupe would be perceived today if he didn’t have a lot of the antics he did, killed his own career tbh

Let's not put that bums name next to Lupe please

With Lasers, Lupe was going for that 2010 B.o.B bag
& that’s all you need to know about that era

Damn I just looked up the Airlanes video and it’s got 585 Million views. But the page it’s on is Atlantic Records 🥲

Then there’s like a 63M one and a couple more airplane videos until u finally get to the B.o.B page’s video that only has 3 Mill god damn.

Lupe was so dope back in the day

Bob is another one from the blog era that dropped the ball hard. I respect the fact that he wanted to prove that he was more than a Pop rapper but NOBODY asked for that. He should've just stayed in the lane he dominated with songs like nothin on you and airplanes and he would've remain relevant for at least a few more years.

Dove headfirst into the Flat Earth, chakras, ancient aliens rabbit hole

Tanya Morgan kicked it off

his career

supe real vividly remember seeing their first music video

Do you think he had some bad acid trip?

I think other people definitely had some degree of nerd rap (Wu-Tang for example) but Lupe really made it his whole aesthetic. I can see this take for sure.

Lupe seriously one of the best ever to do it. I get he’s kind of a corn ball on social media but if we keeping it a stack, literally every rapper is at some point

LUPE’S A KILLA

oh s***. they flipped that sample better than snoop and will.i.am

Man i thought they were gonna be the next big thing since Kanye. So Damn Down was fly.

It’s possible lol

But idk Bob seems like someone who could be easily influenced. Or maybe he needed acceptance into a group after falling off

We getting psychological in here

the beat carried those weak ass niggas

God damn that’s a bold statement

I just f***ed with anything that wasn’t mainstream when that came out. They were cool but tbh they didn’t have anything of very much importance and even then artists like Skyzoo & Lupe are prob earlier examples of blog rap.

This s*** unlocked a memory tho thank you lol

me, and, my, crew, we, get, so, damn, down, get, so, damn, down
