Summary: Based on the song Strange Fruit popularized by Billie Holiday. Lupe really lets his lyricism shine while blending message AND emotion
About Artist: Lupe Fiasco is well established lyrical mastermind who was only focused more and more on his message as his careers gone one.
About Song: Lupe moved away from his lyrical basis in his last album Lasers but Food and Liquor 2 brings the best of both worlds with the message and amazing lyricsl skill. I also have to say that the production of the track is really well done the hook plays an integral part to making the song work and the lyrics on the hook could not sound more haunting.
Favorite Part: First just look at the chorus
“Made in pain, the strangest things you ever seen
Oh, look at how they swing, would you look at how they swing?
They ain’t dead though
No I ain’t die y’all
I cut myself down
Admire my fall”
