Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe Fiasco

2015

The album is a story, but it’s also a story in reverse. It’s revelatory to listen to it from front-to-back, then back-to-front. While the forward-moving story plays out like a fall from grace, with the opportunity to reincarnate and try again, listening to it in reverse, It’s essentially incarnating into the video game of life and achieving ultimate victory.
