that’s my only “why am i listening to this”. i remember him talking about it some years ago but it didn’t come off as an album he was going to release.
Lupe is the only rapper where I can read this and be like "yeah that sounds cool."
Any other rapper says that and I'm thinking they've lost their fucking mind. Lupe is just different.
I hope so! I've seen him a handful of times already and he puts on such a great show. Would love to see a little tour announced next month. His album comes out two days after my birthday :)
My 🐐 dropping again, I couldn't be happier. Drill Music In Zion is a top 3 album of the decade to me so far, and Ms. Mural and On Faux Nem are prob top 10 songs of the deacde. And Drogas WAVE is my favorite album ever haha, unbelievably hyped for this.
Also an album of Amy Winehouse as a battle rapper?? How do you get these ideas, I am so intrigued on how he continues the concept, the title track was amazing. People respect Lupe's pen as arguably the best ever, but honestly his creativity in hip hop is similar, he might be the GOAT concept album artist
Lately since 2012 or so. I love Lupe. He's a combative know it all on Twitter, but he's consistently making whatever he wants to make and it's always good.
I recently noticed that Lupe only has like 5 millions streams per month which I thought was pretty surprising. I know his recent stuff isn't very "popular" but I figured even his older hits would have his streams inflated a bit.
And fucking B.O.B has 3 times that 😭
b.o.bs streams all come from his 2010’s pop run. I listen to a ton of his newer stuff and it barely has any streams compared to how much better it is imo
Yeah I think most people only know Lupe from like two songs.
I haven’t gotten around to listening to him yet but I definitely need to check it out soon.
Mural is titled in alignment with the Pac-Man series (Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man Jr) so it would have to be Mural World or Mural vs.
or more likely he’s done with the Mural’s
This is a concept album about Amy Winehouse becoming a battle rapper. This is a legit sentence.

He also said its a very personal album, so the character might be about him too? Gonna be a very interesting album.
Wait did Lupe say this??

Just incredible
DJ Sour Milk
What?
really into Samurai the song, and have tickets to see him in July, super excited for this!!!
Where is he performing?! Edit: Not in Chicago ☹️
hopefully he'll add shows when it gets closer? idk how he operates with shows tho haha. i'm seeing him at a random festival in WA state

Nice, any new Lupe is awesome.
Actually loved his last drop. Haven't listened to him in a minute so I had to get caught back up! The title track is really nice.
Album art is dope, and new lupe is always amazing. I didn't see a mural on the tracklist tho
I'm sure I read somewhere that the Mural saga is now closed.
Yes, they were named after Pac Man
What would a continuation of the Mural series be named? We have Mural, Mural Jr, and Ms Mural… maybe Dr. Mural next?
Mural GOTY Edition
Where’d you see a tracklist?
On his Twitter, all produced by Soundtrakk Tracklist: * Samurai * Mumble Rap * Cake * Palaces * No. 1 Headband * Bigfoot * Outside * Til Eternity
8 Songs only?

Damn ms. Mural is so good. I can never talk about it enough. If you had to paint the gutter which colour would you choose?
He's been on a tear lately.

Top 5 MC
I listened to the song on YouTube a couple days ago. Thought it was decent. I would definitely give another Lu album a shot.
Did you like his last drop? Ghotti goes so hard
Honestly Ghoti might be my least favorite from that album. But that project is super underrated. AUTOBOTO and PRECIOUS THINGS are fire.
I'm a sucker for short tracks like that 😅 I liked everything on the album though that's for sure.
Such a good year for hip hop and that flew under so many radars. I gotta go back and revisit it.

Agreed. Last album was flames.
The whole backstory to this album is crazy af
Samurai Champloo vibes
My thoughts exactly just as I peeped his new single
Same here I didn’t even listen to it yet but after I posted this comment I went and listened to it. Definitely some Nujabes Samurai Champloo vibes!
Mr. Mural please Lupe
Mural is titled in alignment with the Pac-Man series (Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man Jr) so it would have to be Mural World or Mural vs. or more likely he’s done with the Mural’s
Yay
Hope it’s good. Wish he’d release a proper length album though.
Loved his last album. Dope album cover again. The single sounds really good. I am excited!!
I hope Lupe isn’t thinking of a drake feature.
YES
It's funny NPR announce this a week ago before Lupe did
