SOTD #8 - Lupe Fiasco - "Paris, Tokyo"
🕑 Added 2020-09-23 22:39:29 +0000 UTCSince all the talk was about Lupe vs kdot, lemme hit yall with some of the smoothest Lupe and a style that k dot cannot match.
"I swear you're looking prettier than ever; it's got to be a prophecy for us to be together evermore. For better or lesser, or poor, or worth our weight in buried treasured X's on the shore"
BASICALLY SAYING WE WERE MEANT TO BE AND ILL BE WITH YOU THROUGH THE BEST AND WORST TIMES.
He didn't say rich or poor, he didn't say worth our weight in gold...HE SAID POOR OR WORTH OUR WEIGHT IN BURIED TREASURE X'S ON THE SHORE....LIKE X MARKS THE SPOT OF GOLD.
WHO TF THINKS OF THAT????

Lupe put 8 other lyricists above himself, and while I disagree with that list, to an extent, K-Dot is definitely not above Lupe at all. I love K-Dot, but to say he is on Lupe’s level is plain silly.

So glad to hear your take on this. Thanks, Ernest! Cracks me up how much offense the kdot die-hards are taking to all these smart, logical points being made by folks like yourself. No room for nuance in their stance. Lol
