No lie, Lupe’s “Adoration of the Magi” is one of the deepest lyrical exercises of the past few years. Seriously. It’s one so intricate, I didn’t even catch a few of the meanings and layers until someone broke it down for me. Yeah, sometimes lifelong rap fans miss a thing or two. I’m so sorry.
So to keep up with the pace of the track, Lu drops an equally thought-provoking video. He’s always pushing forward, whether you’re paying attention or not. So sit back, watch, and really spend some time with it. Also, grab that Tetsuo & Youth album now.
*And oh yeah, it’s NSFW depending on where you work.
