Well…that was appropriately detailed for a man whose rhymes were essentially the reason Rap Genius was invented. When Lupe says, “Come Seymour, we have things to do,” in the song “ And He Gets the Girl,” it’s a reference to Seymour, which is the robot. A drawing from his Revenge of the Nerds mixtape, featuring the main character riding in a robot, which also foreshadows the “Daydreaming” video.Jay Z’s cousin Bee-High was a fan, which helps explain some things, and if you happen to have an original copy of the mixtape let Lupe know, he doesn’t even have one himself. A copy of his Fahrenheit 1/15 mixtape that first earned him his first real buzz.It’s not this one exactly, but from the same series. Lupe’s never been shy about his love for Gameboys. His Gameboy Advance, this one might have even been a 3D version.Another notebook from a Japanese brand, he thinks this was one was empty. *.His father’s dog tags – the second time his father is directly represented here.His Levi’s wallet at the time – told you the loved Levi’s.If you look closely, he’s also wearing a custom ring that was later stolen from him in a Dallas airport bathroom. The boombox is just a friend’s radio he grabbed for the shoot. The jeans are Levis, the shirt is LMAC and features a picture of Devon Aoki (Steve Aoki’s sister) and the shoes were custom made in Singapore and were originally white Chuck Taylors. On to his outfit: The jacket is from the British brand Maharishi, which Lupe would go on to collaborate with.A Nintendo cartridge that had to be turned backwards so they wouldn’t have to clear the image on the front – he believes it was for Contra but can’t be totally sure.He has no idea what those coins are that are floating near the toys.Another toy from a Japanese brand, which at the time was called LMAC.A blue camouflage toy that represents his friend Hardy, who was always doing head stands.This was Carrera Lu, Lupe’s comic book alter ego – there’s also a song named “Carrera Lu” that’s a bonus track on some versions of Food & Liquor.
