Dinosaurs

"Dinosaurs" (stylized in all caps) is a song by Lupe Fiasco and Kaelin Ellis, released as the second track from their EP, House (2020). On the 366th episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Lupe explained that there were three different meanings to it: a history lesson on dinosaurs, metaphor for veteran rappers, and eventual mortality."Lupe Fiasco Calls In & Explains 'Dinosaurs' | The Joe Budden Podcast". YouTube. July 30, 2020. DJBooth stated, "charts the history of (and speculations about) the dinosaurs while poking fun at their effect on fossil fuels and pop culture."Green, Dylan (July 24, 2020). "Lupe Fiasco’s 'HOUSE’ EP Is a Sharply Produced Thought Experiment". DJBooth.
Fiasco noted of the podcast to Vulture, "I just thought Joe Budden was just calling me; I didn't know he was having me patched in as some circus sideshow to his fucking show. But I'm like, Cool, we're promoting. I'll take it. It's free. I know how to engage the press in that capacity." He continued, "That's why I kind of don't take press seriously, because you're not engaged the way a fan is. 'Dinosaurs' wasn't meant for adults. It was born out of me going to the Museum of Natural History with my godson years ago, when he was a little guy, and he wanted to see the dinosaurs. It was me if I had to explain dinosaurs to a kid. So to see a grown man convulsing at the seams that he doesn't like this record, it's like, 'It's not even for you.' So whose fault is that? Is it my fault? Probably."Ketchum III, William (August 4, 2020). "Lupe Fiasco vs. Everybody (Even Himself)". Vulture.
