Just Listen HipHop | Underground And Mainstream Hip-Hop Releases

Lupe Fiasco has been playing the role of pot stirrer over the past few weeks or so. The legendary lyricist from the Windy City has been practically egging on Kendrick Lamar to respond to him. The “Show Goes On” MC cleared up the meaning behind a string of tweets that he was one of the rappers to apologize publicly to K-Dot. Essentially, he was really walking back his decision because he felt he did not need to be involved. He did not try to deny that he felt Lamar is just “solid.” Lupe Fiasco also subliminally took shots at Lamar during his time on the Coachella stage, and his new single “Indio” is partially based on that.

In the middle of his performance, Lupe announced that he is willing to go toe to toe with any rapper. “I don’t give a f*** how many records you sold. If you want smoke, I swear on my muthaf***in soul, I will walk through n****s. I will chew up n****s, I will body muthaf***as,” Lupe exclaimed. Also during his time slot, the prideful rapper announced his new album Samurai is going to be out sometime this summer, according to HipHopNMore.

Listen To “Indio” By Lupe Fiasco

So far, he has dropped “LLC,” a lyrically dense track showcasing his elite pen game. This could be the first single for Samurai and now we might have the second with “Indio.” Its another braggadocious statement from Lupe, with bars like, “At the very least, at least the n****s knew your name / And they be coming out the woodwork / Telling wolves that a brick ain’t how a wood work / Lowkey I been on a sweep.” The production, contrastingly, is very mellow and features a chill guitar loop.

Quotable Lyrics:

I take my wagyu on the top floor
Then I take it slow like I’ma Wock four
What’s the point if we ain’t poppin’ off?
Got ya residue, that s*** ain’t washing off
I ain’t worried ’bout your top speed
Give you the Martin, want the Luther or the Lockheed?
