I'm finally listening to Recovery.......
Yeah, for the most part, this is pretty mediocre. Guess I'll stick to his early material.

pls send help
I was looking for new podcasts to listen to. Came across report card or something like that. Jumped to an episode where they were talking about top 5s and 10s. Some dude put hotboys in top 5 groups and then couldn't even name a song. I turned that shit off so quickly. Legit made me angry

Lupe stans out here calling anything better than Lasers a classic
Classic albums don't dictate relevancy. I don't even know why you'd use Kanye since he's been in the news all year long, and we all know more people are checking for his music than Lupe's.

I didn't call food and liquor 2 a classic. That's better than lasers.L

Lupe has two good albums. Everything else is forgettable.
T&Y is a forgettable album now. First someone who admitted to not even listening to anything other than illmatic. What's your excuse?
You stay relevant mainly because:
-you're influential
-you got a huge fanbase that still looks forward to your new music
-you can make big hits
Probably some other things I'm missing but all of these keep your name around. Doesn't hurt to be married to a Kardashian either. When you look at Lupe, none of these really apply to him. He's not as relevant as he once was.
No not really, you're kind of out of touch.
Also Torre that tweet is ancient history breh, Trap Lord hadn't even dropped yet
Irish you're too kind, but nah I never had the wit to ignite real interest in discussions, and I was a try hard, no style

Tetsuo & basura isn't a classic, i don't think lupe's made one yet but others disagree
i could give two tugs of a dead dog's cock about "relevance", but classic's something else entirely and i wish folks were more reserved about saying it
like there's albums i love to death but i know damn well they ain't classics
i just saw her perform out here last weekend, and despite all the fears of her going crazy, it was one of the best shows i've seen in a minute
oh shit, we're going full circle last ep of the wire now

I'm not out of touch. Just confused on someone calling a legend not relevant
Wait. She's not a legend either?

Being a legend doesn't make you relevant in the present.

Chopper is one of the best songs of all time.

When was the last time you heard someone mention Grandmaster Caz outside of a hip hop documentary.
Just now

Was he mentioned in The Getdown?

That's what relevancy entails... That's why the phrase "stay relevant" is so commonly used.

They wish I would go ahead and fuck my life up
Can't let them get to me
And even though I always fuck my life up
Only I can mention me

Yeah, but now it would come from a darker place (not that great music can only come from that, but still). Divorce from his dream girl, terrible mental state, media might antagonize him as the crazy man whose wife left him because she felt the kids weren't safe around him, liberal media might eat him because of his ties to Trump, and he would go even more into defense and paranoia mode ("they're out to get me!") etc.

Didn't realize the struggle was that real for Ye atm.
808s 2 on the way I guess.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't holding out hope for him to perform for Trump then go on a crazy rant about Trump, but that seems too wild even for Ye.

Nice. It's on Apple Music but they've classified it as 'Alternative' instead of Hip-Hop.
