Lyrically, he’s on another level. Truth be told, I’m glad this dude is getting a lot of attention commercially, e.g., #1 rap album in the country for many weeks, as well as peaking at #1 on 106 & Park. But, honestly, his best material is in his mixtapes. Seriously, check those tracks out.
“Did you even catch the change in theme?” wow… what a crazy metaphor
Be on the lookout for the thematic post, Lupe Fiasco v. Others, in which I will compare Lupe's lyrics with that of others when they write on the same theme. Hopefully, and most likely, the difference will illuminate without my explanation, but I will still make sure to comment on the difference.
Behind every blog is a purpose, we hope. And so it is here, at Ill Vibes. There's no format, no organization, no agenda - simply a cornucopia of thoughts we hope to memorialize in this Internet medium. What common ground you may find is the interests shared among the administrators, four university students whose passions for music (especially the state of hip hop), art, travel, philosophy, comedy, dance, politics, pop culture, fashion, and - quite frankly - the good life have brought them together to share their essentials of cool. From reviewing the latest CD or introducing the world to the next incredible artist to documenting various travels or criticizing a latest concert, you'll find it all here and more! So enjoy, and definitely leave comments. Not only do we love to express ourselves, but one of our greatest traits lies in our listening to other people expressing themselves.
