Lupe Fiasco - DROGAS Wave (September 21, 2018) Album • Page 3

I'm not going to post all his tweets, but Lupe goes into a lot of the background surrounding the theme and background of the album on Twitter.

Also he released this, which is bonkers:

 

Saw him last night and he was fucking incredible, played for two hours straight, the setlist was amazing and his energy was insane.

I also think it made it sink in for me that this is probably my second favorite album by him. I don't think anything will top The Cool because that's one of my favorite rap albums of all time but I think this has surpassed F&L and T&Y for me

 

Yeah every time I put it on, I’m like... wow, wow.

 

Happy Timbuck2 Day is the banger of the year

 

Pop up meet and greet in Brooklyn at 1 today. So sad I can’t go.

 

Just got a concert alert for Lupe playing Food & Liquor in full next February

 

Hoooly shit

 

This is all the info I have on it

Lupe Fiasco performing Food & Liquor | The Novo

 

Neeeed an NY show

 

This album made me cry tonight lol. Specifically when he names the slave ships in WAV Files. The list is so damn long.

Also I'm not sure if this has been posted yet but it's necessary information.

Lupe Fiasco Invents Alternate Realities On "Alan Forever" & "Jonylah Forever" | Genius

This is Lupe's magnum opus--his best album, and very easily one of the most overlooked releases of the year

 

completely agree

first verse of Alan Forever has me in tears every goddamn time, especially the "moon becomes a disco ball" bit. album's a masterpiece

 

Yeah this is seriously incredible and I'm so sad that it will be on absolutely no year-end lists

 

It's SO dense lyrically, I will never actually understand it all, but it's a great album

 

People have skipped on listening to this because of its length, or because of being disappointed in the last Lupe record, which is a real shame. Not only is the lyricism super dense but the musicianship is on another level, tons of organic instrumentation and little details meticulously composed into each song. I can imagine seeing this live would be truly incredible.

 

I want to see that show so fucking bad, I hope he adds a DC date

 

Definitely gonna try and hit up the CLE date. Saw him a few years ago and was blown away. F&L is an all-timer for me.

 

Was that the tour that was mostly F&L and The Cool? That setlist looked so fucking good. So bummed I missed it. The venue over here was tiny too.

 

I saw him at House of Blues in CLE in like, February of 2016. I remember it was an absolute blizzard out. He did a shitload of T&Y, actually. I think the first 30 minute of his set were T&Y.

 

Only thing that kind of worries me about this tour - as much as I love F&L - is unless Setlist.FM is wrong, he just performs F&L and nothing else after.

 

Thats a bummer. Sounds like a total Lupe thing to do tho. lol

 

It's like 70 minutes long, that would make sense. He could at least throw in Superstar and The Show Goes On or something afterwards though

 

Well, if you take away the Intro and the Outro...it's like 55.

 

I would have thought he'd disown every song off Lasers

 

He closed with The Show Goes On when I saw him.
