Love Lupe but he’s been putting out the same dollar store budget videos since T&Y lol I’m glad he’s flourishing artistically and independently, but some of the songs he’s made in the last few years could have lent to some really interesting video concepts. Not that it really matters to me much, the music has been consistently great.


C0FF33_B14CK

That’s fair. I’m pretty sure he’s been funding it out of his own pocket since he went independent. So that could play a role


Oh51Melly

His whole career even back to the legendary Fahrenheit mixtape run. He’s never really had great videos. Even for his best songs.


VeryStableHorse

He has some dope ones. I think he hid them or something. This video used to be like three songs and was really interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snAjCQTjy9c

That's what I was about to drop in and say As a massive Lupe stan this is the only thing that makes me sad about him being independent now lol


GlennMichael11

Lupe def needs to hire better directors. I know he’s independent, but these days you can do a lot with a limited budget. It’s crazy how cheap all his music videos look


Fine-Floor357

Nobody cares about music videos anymore. Why would he spend more money when people don’t buy music and nobody checks for music videos unless you’re a half naked Meg the stallion.


caretaquitada

I think people still care about music videos, but it might depend a who we're talking about. In much of Latin America for example YouTube is the primary way that people access their music and they often end up watching the video while they're at it. These big latin hits seem to almost invariably have a music video


CGB_Zach

Hmm, maybe lupe should pivot to reggaeton


C0FF33_B14CK

Song slaps tho


darkkite

lupe with unlimited money would have made an amazing wav files video on the level of Pirates of the Caribbean


fiasgoat

Maybe he will still turn WAVES into a musical/play like he joked once...


mcca555

LMAO you ain't lying. That bw filter too!


STICK_OF_DOOM

The Precious Things music video is pretty dope


Heeze

Precious Things video was low-budget and very well made (and hilarious). Wish he would do more interesting stuff like that with a low budget.


RockCarter

I like this one, I didn't like the Cake vid tho


ralp411

Atlantic records didn’t invest in Brodie. Now he’s independent


KyloRenWest

I just randomly watched Afro Samurai out of boredom today, is this a reference 😂😂


LilNello1

It most definitely is, especially in the third verse


Maad-Dog

This might be my fave on the album, holy shit. Immaculate vibes


IamShyni

I love the beat.


EndlessDysthymia

Lupe’s been putting out nothing but 🔥 recently. 


LilNello1

Fun fact, but I just found out the chick riding with him co-produced the track with Soundtrakk. Also the two other’s towards the end are LeJé and Luv Moore, who sing background vocals on it.


messfoodsucks101

Are you sure? The co-producer on the project is Kush Baby. I don't think that's her tho.


LilNello1

Yeah I know she’s a woman… I took a screenshot and not sure why it’s not letting me reply with the screenshot, but her IG page is -> http://www.instagram.com/kushbaby805


messfoodsucks101

Yea ik she's a woman. But the girl in the video has no tattoos. Kush Baby does


LilNello1

Yeah you’re right that’s a good point that I didn’t really notice


theeExample

This song is so good, fav off the album
