separating the album into two part is probably a test from the label executives and lupe comparing the sales of thoughthful, lyrical lupe to commercial lupe. hint hint at when he said hopefully since part 2 does not have an exact release date so the song types could be altered if (T.and L.)Lupe dont sell on par with Lasers.
he is a asshole for your own good/great. no reply will be read..
he prolly split the album in two because 30 new songs is way too much to take at once. some people (like myself) won’t want to listen to 30 at once.
It’s called Around My Way
I also think he did it to get out his atlantic deal quicker
XD
I just wanna converse with lupe one time maybe find him once hes done with rap in a bar in thailand somehwere that’d be so ill
Lupe has changed so much. He’s weird to me now, but his amazing lyrical talent hasn’t.
