Video: Lupe Fiasco - Mural (Lyric Breakdown)



You may remember in 2011 when we posted videos by TimesNuRoman where he dissected multiple Lupe songs including Failure, Lupe The Killer, Absolute Freestyle and more. Now that Lupe has dropped arguably his most lyrically intricate song, TimesNuRoman is back with another video! There's only so much that can be put on screen as he tries to keep up with Lupe rapping his ass off, but if you'd like some extra clues to figure Mural out, check the video above!

Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dogg, Bun B and more have their lyrics posted around Los Angeles!



Jay Shells started a street art project in New York where he takes quotes from rap songs and posts them in the specific area mentioned in the lyric. He expanded his project to the west coast, and included a lyric from Lupe's "Peace Of Paper/Cup Of Jayzus".

Props to LAist, and check their website for more quotes from Snoop, Bun B, Action Bronson and more!

Lupe Fiasco previews lyrics off of upcoming album, "Tetsuo & Youth"!


A few days ago, Lupe took to Twitter and dropped this small gem off...
"Clarence Carter, Fred Astaire Meets Aristotle, Air To Air Your Just Plane Rears In Red Baron's Goggles" ...TETSUO...YOUTH...

Well today, he was back at it. After he received a tweet from a fan that said, "I miss the old you..." he responded with the following...
That puts me in a stupor, kinda like saying I wanna see the young you in the future.
Scratch that, to deepen the absurdity, certainly to remain young in the face of getting old requires plastic surgery.
And I've never been 1 to fake it and give you young shit from an old ass nigga with a facelift. I still hip so if it aint break, don't replace it.
These the complexes of a complex nigga in the face of criticism so basic, when your basics are the basic mathematics of spaceships.
And if I do dumb it down for dumb niggas or younger crowds...to pay rent, an old man with younger styles on some Jay shit.
My old fans run around and trash my latest efforts at making records as watered down so go old, but forgetters that Food & Liquor didn't go Gold.
I mean G is G, I don't do this shit for free, always for some freedom, but niggas got lawyer fees in that Windy City where rapping is a breeze.
A Twis-ta nig-ga you-so...cra-zy, would I do when they want that young Lu? "Nigga tell em time machine or Fuck-You, Pay-Me." - Screen Caps

He went on to say that these lyrics are from a track called "Fountain Of Youth" from Tetsuo & Youth. Ofcourse, in regular fashion, all these tweets have since been deleted but we'll keep you updated as the new info pours in.
