I don't and can't believe that bruh. I....I just can't... -
No scratches is dope. I can't see how the whole album plays as a story yet. For me after two listens its seems more like a life and death. From the seasons, to the death and resurrection in TRON which can also implies that life is a game (game over) or a virtual reality, where we eventually go to our new reality (second life/spring song)
Some songs like Madonna, Prisoners, and blur my hands I have no idea what he is talking about yet Lol.
But this album will stand in time as one of the most complex albums in any genre to decipher and connect with,or maybe Lupe is trolling us all and making a collective work of music and tagging it as abstract .... Why? Will if u watch the interview, he spoke about recording so many songs and narrowing it down to the 16, (his 16 fans he made the album for) maybe he just choose 16 just to see what they and the rest of fans will decipher from his song titles. Its kinda hard to tell a story from a bunch of songs u randomly recorded.... -
Im trying to figure out how to listen to this album
Do i listen to it before i hear it??? so i can try to decipher it
Do i just vibe off it and do the above..
decisions decisions im a few tracks in
Do they have a lupe uncovered website or some ? with lyrics and lupeologist -
? dead @ lupeologist!

The craziest thing about Lupe is what people get out of what he says.
I just googled the album and them nerds on KTT are deciphering this album like its the Da Vinci code.
I love doubles, symbols and meanings as much as the next man but they got too much time on their hands. Its interesting though.
You might wanna check their thread out. They got that ? down to a scienceplaymaker88 wrote: »Im trying to figure out how to listen to this album

I don't think the barcode was important, just the way he purposely flipped the CD upside down and scrolled his finger up and down as if to say, "Yeah, you can listen to it this way too." I watched this interview and when he did that he was saying there were more things going on with the album.
But I wonder if it's all an elaborate hoax and nothing means nothing. Lol. Just ? with us. Which is also entirely possible. -
so XXL Mag gave it an XL rating. The fans are going in!

You're missing out fam
it will be here a month from now
True enough -
Nah bruhs you don't have to play it backwards. You have to play it on shuffle in all the different possible combinations until you get the one right order like a rubix cube. Then it all makes sense.
-
I'm just enjoying the album...

I said the same thing. I even pirated the leak and said ? supporting him. Then I listened to it \/\/\/ -
Don't know which is more difficult, deciphering this album or deciphering what D;Angelo's saying on his new album
-
Is the "Winter" instrumental the instrumental from "insidious?"
Yo this album so crazy it's unreal. J. Cole album and this album puts me in a good space. The best choice he made with this album was taking off the superstar features and using local rappers and underrated rappers. This ? Is genius, the hiatus was worth it. -

I don't and can't believe that bruh. I....I just can't...
It's believable. Listen to his freestyle on hot 97 and sway show -
Aye....i think there may be some credibility to the whole "backwards video game" theme....
now that I've listened a few times in hearing some samples from the music in video games in certain songs. Imma search to see if I can pinpoint one. -

Not exactly when you factor in he had the same exact ratings as gkmc and Life Is Good, both of which bowed out with an overall XXL rating.
Let that sink in... The album with Summer on Smash got a ? XXL rating, whereas Lu drops a nearly flawless LP and is snubbed. -
Dope ass album, feel in that Joey Bada$$ too
-
Winter does sound like that music from insidious
-
Some of y'all are over analyzing lol. There's plenty of word play but some of y'all need to relax. Tho I will say on prisoner 1 and 2 it was a lot like dots and lines where there was shots at the label
-
The story why choppa is 9 min long is pretty funny also shows that rappers like ross ain't ?

I don't really give 2 ? about a rating tbh ....I don't even get what the relevance of a rating could possibly be to a persons personal enjoyment of a record
But my point is that ? are really up in arms over an album being called "great" as opposed to "excellent" comes across as rather mundane
Ohhh and DONT get me started on LIFE IS WOOD..... DONT GET ME ? STARTED ?
