I honestly dont get what the he was trying to do with Slave Ship(Interlude) or how it even fits in with the rest of the album. One of yall "treasure hunters" let me know tomorrow if i'm missing something on that one.
Shit felt crazy left field and jarring to me when that shit came on

“Drogas Wave is based on a story about a group of slaves that jumped off of a slave ship transporting them from Africa,” Lupe says. “The slaves did not drown, and instead somehow managed to live under the sea. They spent the rest of their underwater existence sinking slave ships. ‘Drogas’ is the Spanish word for drugs. I made it an acronym which stands for ‘Don’t Ruin Us God Said.’”
?
Ill see tomorrow

If you know, you know
but you aint even heard -
aite... yall holla at me after yall listened to that interlude
This how I know niggas is hearing the album, but they ain't listening. I'm not finished with the album yet, (I'm on the Damian Marley track. Flames, btw.) but there is a dope ass message throughout.
The first half of this album is a correlation between our place in society throughout history being at the bottom -- with the bottom being the ocean. From our ancestors jumping ship, to us living there and making the best of the situation. All those songs being ocean/water related. From the production to the bars.
So far it reminds me of Food and Liquor 2 (the message) meets T&Y. The record placement is also flawless.
I'm a big fan of Lupe, but I know how to be objective. This album is dope as fuck so far. I'm on Stack Dat Cheese now. Also flames.
Aite since you passed the interlude... did that shit not feel out of place to you?
Man Lupe my nigga but he took this theme concept album from that nigga from Halimton . He is in a rap group called Clipping.
and they already did this concept before. My girl showed me this song months back.
Drogas wave is still dope though.
Whatchu mean? The instrumental? Nah. Not really. Reminded me of the themes transitioning on T&Y. He did the same thing there, where the new theme of the album would be preceded by an instrumental to set the tone.
