    Lupe Fiasco sixth studio album is the first of three releases he has planned for 2017. Taking a more mainstream approach in sound, how does Lupe's 'Drogas Light' hold up to his previous effort Tetsuo & Youth? 'Drogas Light' was released on his own 1st and 15th label as an independent project. Here are our thoughts on Lupe's latest project. Let us know what you think of it in the comment section.

      @ivesbarrera Před 7 lety +4

      I guess that's fair. I mean to be honest, if you like the sound you like the sound. I think the only objective thing about hip hop is whether or not the person is spitting. Beat choice and sound aside.

      Well I think people certainly have a right to be disappointed with Drogas LIGHT, because I was too as a big Lupe fan... I just wanted to retain perspective that T&Y was only a few years ago and it was unbelievably good

    • @Mmmarky92
      @Mmmarky92 Před 7 lety +1

      Rohan When DROGAS really drops I hope he pulls through and gives us something greater than T&Y.
      To this day I still play at least one T&Y song a week and i can listen to that full album everytime

  • @LookingForAName...
    @LookingForAName... Před 7 lety +9

      @lightonorganic4789 Před 4 lety

      Yeah but people don’t pay full attention, Lupe deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point, before judging looking into what’s really going on, he’s tryna be done with Atlantic so he just put out old songs that he never has put out

  • @creativebobbie
    @creativebobbie Před 7 lety +40

    Myke hit it right on the money! Lupe is rapping on beats the rest of the group just doesn't want to hear Lupe over.
    I'm a big Lupe fan, full disclosure. I liked this and Lasers. But definitely get why folks are confused and not feeling.
    But we definitely need to make a distinction between what we don't want to hear and stuff that is ACTUALLY terrible.
    LET LUPE PLAY!!! lol

    • @LouieV6
      @LouieV6 Před 7 lety

      creativebobbie He had trap beats on Tetsuo & Youth and those tracks were great. So what's the deal with people's issues with the trap beats on this album? Not every time I wanna hear Lupe rap over a boom bap beat. What's great about him is he doesn't limit himself to just one style of production. He rummages threw a few before he can find the ones that suits him best. That's always been Lupe.

    • @kooleyBear
      @kooleyBear Před 7 lety +6

      I think the problem is Lupe is one of the artists in rap that has been boxed in by "fans" and fans alike. They expect damn near every verse to be a double entendre and over the same type of production. And what is crazy is people talked shit about his style of subject matter and beat choice and lyrical ability when he came out with F&L and are now acting like they loved it from jump knowing they didn't.

    • @BRobMint
      @BRobMint Před 7 lety +9

      +kooleyBear This is true. When he goes into SLR mode people complain about him being too lyrical. When he simplifies the lyricism he's accused of dumbing it down. The man just can't win with everybody.

    • @creativebobbie

  • @piecesofaman6419
    @piecesofaman6419 Před 7 lety +10

    Didn't Lupe say he deliberately made this lyrically "light" to give himself a break cause he wanted to take a break and keep things distinctly not "jazzy" because he's saving all his lyricism for "Drogas". Remember reading that somewhere.

  • @JPWicks6
    @JPWicks6 Před 7 lety +4

    i get myke's point, but if a rap album has
    -mediocre production
    -trash hooks
    -features that dont complement the album
    -a handful of good songs mixed with bad ones
    then why do good lyrics from Lupe make up for all that? i think people have a right to be disappointed.

    • @amanSpawn00
      @amanSpawn00 Před 7 lety

      JPWicks6 because they are saying it's worse than what it is. It's good, just not what people assume to come from Lupe. Trap lyrics? With actual good raps? And he made that contradiction sound good(similar to Dumb It Down). Once you get rid of that box that we put certain artists in(how they should sound versus how they do sound), you see that it actually isn't a disappointment until after Kill. Everything past that wasn't good, average but funny enough much better than many pop tracks.

  • @wherevinoat
    @wherevinoat Před 7 lety +20

    This is gonna break my heart ugh lol
    This is my least fave Lupe project, but Im still a Stan and think that Drogas Deep will be amazing. My theory is that he made this as his first independent project to piss off Atlantic and show he can make mainstream music like they would want but without the drama. But IDK, I guess he doesn't get a free pass. BUT PLEASE GIVE him 1 more shot lol Drogas Deep will be that shit. I still liked a lot of songs on this project, thought a lot of this shit banged.
    UPDATE
    Myke just saved the video for me again hahaha!!! I agree with him, 10000% not going back to this project a lot. Think he showing that he can do mainstream music but better with a Lupe twist But he did show off his skill MAJOR on these songs.
    Cant believe you guys didn't talk about the Momma track outro !

    I havent listened to this yet, but I'm really confused by the reviews. So people think Lupe can rap, but his beats are subpar.. when he raps over mainstream/modern/trendy beats, people say they don't want to hear him over the production. ???

    • @Northsyde21
      @Northsyde21 Před 7 lety +11

      JonathanIsrael708 His mainstream beats are subpar, the cool and FNL had dope production.

    • @foreverkingmvp
      @foreverkingmvp Před 7 lety +6

      JonathanIsrael708 Issue was that his bars were dumbed down on the album, even in a concert video he said "this album is for the dumb people, DROGAS is for the intellectuals", also said it was music from the vaults, but have faith, Lupe said "DROGAS" will be a masterpiece when it drops

    • @VersioEDM
      @VersioEDM Před 7 lety +6

      +Northsyde The Cool is incredible but let's not lie that production was some struggle shit. They were good beats but the production is a different matter entirely. Two fucking beats went completely off beat in the album

  • @lukejamesbgn
    @lukejamesbgn Před 7 lety +47

    I feel like this album would've been bad/mediocre from anybody, but coming from Lupe just makes it so much worse. Like Feefo, I listened to this multiple times and it just didn't get any better for me 'cuz it's sloppy as hell. Couple of decent moments here & there but meh.

    • @intelligencecycle3523
      @intelligencecycle3523 Před 7 lety +1

      Luke James I don't think it's bad as worst Album of the year. too me they're moments where I like but songs I dislike we're over the top. jump, made in USA, dopamine lit are dope, overall he just missed with it. Lasers was worse cause we expect super complex better example this is shape of inconsistency.

    @mahe171 Před 7 lety +2

    I think that Lupe tried to make an album with a different sound than what he is comfertable with, but he doesn't have the artistical reach to make an album like this imo. The reason I don't like this album isn't because Lupe did it, its because Lupe did it porely and yes he was spitting on this project, but there is more to making good trap songs than spitting.

    @hjkl3378 Před 7 lety +2

    Bruh, he said this is his final record for Atlantic. Apparently he wrote a masterpiece for the real DROGAS, but he knew the label would shit all over his concept, so he dropped DROGAS Light to satisfy the terms of the deal, and when he drops DROGAS independently it'll be the real thing..

    Tetsuo & Youth was a dope album, I thought it was better than To Pimp a Butterfly. But y'all at the end of the year said you didn't go back to it. He gets little credit for good albums and that's gotta be frustrating because he's seeing who people are listening to and they aren't touching him. This album to me is like a Wale rant.

    Not making an excuse for this album, but lupe's an artist you can't put in a box. This guy has made a rock album, does DJ ing from time to time, and of course raps. Good, bad or indifferent, Lupe does not play by our rules.

    I didn't like this album at all when I initially listened to it because it was such a departure from Lupe's other content. But once I got over the fact that this was Lupe, I started enjoying for what it was. He still flowing on here. It's commercial sounding but not overly poppy and fluffy like Lasers. It's basically Lasers done right.

    After hearing Lupe on that Justice League track 'No Problems' I was hoping to hear him on more hyper beats and he delivered on here. The track 'Jump' sounds so god damn good because Lupe can adapt to a beat like that and still spit bars. I would rather hear a project from Lupe and King Los over Kendrick and Cole. Los and Lupe are extremely versatile when it comes to flows.

    The next album "Drogas" which will be out in a couple months will pull Feefo, B, and Rod back in as Lupe fans. Lupe basically said this is a throwaway album, but Drogas is 11/10 masterpiece. It will be on Tetsuo & Youth, F&L 1, and The Cool level, maybe better.

  • @MrLawskinner
    @MrLawskinner Před 7 lety +2

    He told everyone what the intent was in the review he wrote. It was supposed to be a Lasers reboot. Also, he said a lot of these are throw away tracks that weren't meant to be too deep. They also are songs that are for performance. The next 2 albums he said are no where in this lane.

  • @ce2know7
    @ce2know7 Před 7 lety

    This album is Lupe using the current climate of rap music to floss his styles as an emcee. This is what HIPHOP purists would have to deal with to make it like oh...JAYz does even Drake...both rappers have excellent skills as emcees, but todays rap fans don't fully give a focused thought to the music they digest. All aspects of HIPHOP culture is deeper than just consumerism...HIPHOP is soul of artistic creatives on display & all the contradictions you go through to get better and help others look at the bigger picture. In short Lupe is keeping his track record going strong, make a mix tape of all his good content and avoid the throwaways...he released enough content. Great review, as always I appreciate the honesty.

    @21houston12 Před 7 lety

    To be honest, i think feef completely described what my take was on Chances coloring book.
    I thought coloring book was all over the place and really was reaching for too much while holding no form at all.
    It seemed to be confused if it wanted to be trap influenced or gospel influenced or R&B influenced. Personally it just didnt mix well at all.
    All things said, i think Lupe's album held similarities to that as well.

  • @Vynzent
    @Vynzent Před 6 lety

    I agree with the guy sort of defending the album (don't know anyone's names since I'm new to this channel).
    It was not what anyone was hoping for, thus everyone immediately decided to hate it.
    When it first dropped I hated it too. I listened to the album a few times to really digest it and I dig it now to an extent.
    It's not a throw-away album. The first half or so is great. The pop songs afterward are what killed it.

  • @RKO2D3STINY2
    @RKO2D3STINY2 Před 7 lety +15

    The Meaning Of The Album Is Pretty Clear Man. The First Half Is Lupe Doing Homage, Satricially Attacking, While Respecting And Understanding And Honoring Trap And Everything It Comes From And Where It Takes His People. THE PRODUCTION IS DOPE Especially For The First Half. AND HE HAS BARS. And He Has Meaning. And His Flows ARE DOPE. The 2nd Half TO ME Is Lasers But Perfected Where It's Actually Way Better.
    FOLLOWING Tetsuo And Youth WHAT IS HIS BEST ALBUM TO ME And One Of The Best Rap Albums EVER FUCKING MADE. But You We Knew It Wasn't Gonna Be Anything Like Tetsuo And Youth Lol. PLUS I Don't Feel Like It's Realistic For Him To Even Top Tetsuo LOL. It's A Good Album BUT YES It Is Way Different.

  • @sunnyislam8470
    @sunnyislam8470 Před 7 lety

    For what I would call a throwaway album, I thought it was better than expected but still not something I'll really come back to. DROGAS should be where it's at, as Lupe said, "Illmatic meets Illmatic meets Illmatic", so hopefully it's a pleasant surprise.

    Its called Drogas light...
    I look at it as a precursor of sorts for Lupe's lighter audience leading up to Drogas which will be more like a Tetsuo & Youth of sorts. This album did exactly what it was supposed to and it executed it well. Drogas will be more the album you guys are looking for and YES..LUPE IS RAPPING ON HERE.

  • @StupidIsAsStupidDoe2
    @StupidIsAsStupidDoe2 Před 7 lety

  • @JoeBergy122
    @JoeBergy122 Před 6 lety

    I feel like this album was leftover bits and pieces he recorded over the past few years. 'Tranquillo' is a b-side from Tetsuo & Youth, actually. 'Pick Up The Phone' and 'I'm Not Design' sound WAYYYY different from the first few tracks.

  • @thaspydaman21
    @thaspydaman21 Před 7 lety +1

  • @sup00007
    @sup00007 Před 7 lety

    do you guys think that the context in which certain albums are released have to be considered when you guys do a review of the album? because one crucial point I didn't hear at all is that most of these songs are old as shit as in Pre-Tetsuo era, so it's idiotic to act like Lupe decided to make "trash" music again. He literally said this was an appetizer and he wanted songs to perform at a concert. If you are a reviewer, definitely do some research. Yall still the best to do it lol. There are two classics incoming, DROGAS & Skull's. Be excited for that.

    I think Myke gets it. When I heard the album I heard a tongue and cheek satire of modern music. I agree when Myke said "Look at this shit, I can do it better." I think that's what Lupe was going for. If Drake put out Promise that sound would blow up, but he couldn't have done it as well.
