You're a peach as always Shelby! How I would describe Lupe is that he's a conscious rapper's conscious lol. In that he always hides a story in his songs through double-entendres and euphemisms. In fact the song "Superstar" is one part of an album-long story just like Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid, M.A.A.D City that is also a whole metaphor for getting into heaven. I say he's way more darker than Travis in the way of lyrics, more in line with Kanye who featured him on "Touch the Sky" which is the song you were talking about. If you wanna learn how deep his lyric content goes. I recommend giving his 1st album "Food & Liquor" a full listen or checking out a Youtuber named TimesNuRoman who does lyric breakdown videos on Lupe's more deeper songs. His video on Lupe's "Mural" will give you a better understanding of how great the lyrics are or if you want something more easy than see his videos on "Wav Files" or "Gotta Eat"
