    trust me, i know exactly how you felt. that s*** hit me like a freight train. it was like somebody i vouched for for years backstabbed me at the height of our friendship. sounds ridiculous, but this music s*** is serious to some of us. i didn't believe it was atlantic because i remember he released a mixtape (ep possibly) of him rapping over edm beats that was in the same universe as what was on lasers. lupe was the culprit that entire time and tried to place blame on atlantic. he tried to use them as a scapegoat and fans ate it up

    lol yea i was in denial for the longest time about that s***. Tbh that mixtape wasn't too bad but it just wasn't what we wanted. Should've just did a Japanese Cartoon project.

    I'm still confident he had to dumb it down and rewrite (excuse the pun) for some songs though

    FWIW I think Lupe is 7/7 for mixtapes, not counting SNDCLSH

    I dont know I aint listened to that mixtape in years.

    i tried to force myself to like that album so damn bad. i revisited it recently (with the mindset that it's a pop rap album, nothing more) and it was more enjoyable but it still didn't connect lol he definitely did, but in doing so he lost a lot of fans, and gained a few too

    I still think he's messy when it comes to putting out projects he has teased.

    Like he said he has a boom bap influenced album ready, and 2 years later, I'm still waiting for that s***

    There was a point in time that Lupe Fiasco was the perfect rapper.

    Like....hands down. 2005-2010 Wasalu in a video game would have maxed out stats on every category you'd have.

    loved them. That What U Want was a jam. but I was always a "weird" type of nigga but that's why Lupe's one of my favs. And that s*** is unmixed so you know they would've added more to it. But that flow and rhyme scheme

    the thing about Lupe now that sucks, is just that....he could just write the most complex s*** but put it in the most simple s*** ever so we could still digest it. Now he's just overly complicated and wordy on everything.

    IT TOOK YEARS BEFORE I KNEW THIS S*** WAS ABOUT FOOD NIGGA.

    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

    bob always been this type of nigga tho even when he was popping.

    he just kept it cool and popping.
