New Music: Lupe Fiasco “B.M.F. (Building Minds Faster)” (Freestyle)

Saturday, July 24 2010 8:06 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Music

As promised: Fiasco forges ahead with a freestyle over Rick Ross’ super smash. I think this could’ve been a lil better. But I do respect the song’s direction. Ha. I’m sure Atlantic‘s pleased too.

    SHH at YN still getting a little bit of hate on in the description, ateast he’s posting Lupe’s shit though.

    “They say I try to hard verses over-whelm
    I learned most of this from niggas sittin’ in jail
    Where you think I’m from? From the streets nigga
    Triple-O.G.’s told me to teach nigga
    Now they made up & that’s a fact
    They say that gangsta s**t is the s**t I rap
    Look who I attract look at my inner-circle
    Bunch of street niggas & a couple Urkel’s
    Look at my fan-base oh yes
    Fuck what Pro say look at this protest”

    NIGGA LUPE IS RAW!

    And I Co-SIGN @UPTOWN 99.9% except for the fact that RICK ROSS IS already better than EMINEM

    Shit was the worst thing all year id rather fuckin listen to “LeBron Flocka James” 24 hrs str8

  13. iceyjesse says:

    @Uptown u cant understand this….what’s wrong with you?

  14. DonC says:

    Honestly this isnt great as the dick riders will say it is, Lu sounds like a 12 year old on a grown man beat, but if the kids are gonna listen to this and get the message I’m down.

  15. Uptown says:

    Shit was 6mins!!!!….If Hov or Weezy rapped for 6mins, it would be murder!!!!

  16. rAND says:

    All you mofos who continue to personally attack Lu without providing any type of substance in your argument are nothing more than some simple minded, incompetent idiots.

  17. lol says:

  24. Wow. says:

    Just to set everything straight.

    Lupe’s better than Ross.
    Em without a doubt is better than Ross.
    Everyone is better than Ross, 50, Kanye, Drake, Wayne, so on and so on. Shit even Eve is better than Ross. Fake ass clown.

  25. 50 says:

    ama make a petition so that the petition for Lupe Fiasco petition lasers is destroyed

  26. Donn says:

    Im a big Lupe fan but honestly labels dont hold albums cus their a big mean company. Its cus they are in a bizness to make money. And until you guys hear the reason Atlantic wont release it you Shouldnt take Lupe’s side so easily. His last album had a big record on it. And im sorry, you can try and kick knowledge, thats cute and all but if you cant do it in a way thats interestin ppl are gonna fall asleep on you. Sorry, im a fan but this was boring.

    ——————————–

    I swear to god! Lupe is aight, but I dont get why internet stans talkin bout he’s the goat and shit. Nigga is average…

  29. Black By Popular Demand says:

    i think lupe is a bitchie dude but homie got skills. he murdered this shit here… and those who said lil’ wayne would kill this should change their pampers… you ain’t ready for this shit here.

    this type of shit is so necessary.

    when you fuck boys stop following behind rick ross… lemme know.

  30. GzUpppp says:

    Lu wasnt tryna be all lyrical with this. To the commentors doubting Lu’s lyrical game, listen to Failure, Theme Music To A Drive By, Dumb It Down, etc. where he’s jus droppin punchline after punchline… this wasn’t even his A game, jus a quick freewrite to Ross’s ignant ass song and dude still dropped more knowledge than anyone in mainstream rap fo’ a looong time… dude speaks truth about Africa, ppl’s fear of the Illuminati yet their lack of action, the BP oil spill etc. in just one track….. dopedope

    Hip-Hop needs this.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    100% correct
    and GTFHO
    Lupe > Ross

    “For that BP, I shed 50 tears… in Nigeria that oil been spillin for like 50 years…”

  33. D says:

    Damn, Lupe murdered this shit.

    And yeah, Fake Ass Teflon Don > Recovery.

  34. Nathaniel says:

    that nigga said a LOT of real shit on this track. i hope y’all niggas is listening hard.

  35. lol @ people being mad or hating at such a positive message says:

    “Who use most of drugs? Americans.. What’s in Afghanistan? Heroin.”

    I hope some peeps listen, I mean REALLY listen to this.. word word

    the line bout everyone talkin illuminati this, illuminati that, stop the NWO, etc. etc. and then they go off and waste all their time partyin’ and drinkin’… not saying its a bad thing, but its excessive in the bloated and ignorant youth culture and this behavior is actively pushed upon us by mainstream hiphop.

    Man speaking on the BP oil spill!!

  36. Bullseye says:

    Honestly it was boring. He should have switched the flow instead of using ross’ flow from the actual song.

  37. WeWantLasers Movement says:

    http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?Beaming Sign it and pass it on. It motivated Lupe to do this. If you feel differently about this well it’s just cause you’re dumbed down.

  39. Ultrakid says:

    I’m a big Lupe fan but Ross’ original is way better and people need to stop frontin’ like Ross doesn’t have any skills on the mic….Ross would murder 50 and his whole irrelevant career that was destroyed by Kanye.

    For the slow ones…

    [Lupe: Chorus]
    I think I’m Malcom X, Martin Luther
    Add a King, add a Junior
    Some bible verses, couple sooners
    An AK-47 that’s a revolution!! (nigga)
    Think I’m Tupac, Bob Marley
    Fela Kuit, Marcus Garvey

    [Lupe: Verse 1]
    Them the real ones, light a lighter for em
    Letcha know, that I’m ridin’ for em
    Gon’ gimme some, a lil more beat
    Call yo friends around, then call the police!
    Im ridin’ wit my flow, it take up four seats
    So I’m gon ghost ride, but with no sheets
    One man by myself, even then I’m 4 deep
    Like hotel swimming pools, that’s 4 feet
    These niggas like the rooms, so suite(sweet)
    Priceline! so cheaaap
    Im the cell phone, they some room keys
    Im some shell toes, they the shoe strings
    I turn em off, i take em out
    Im reverand run, with the laces out
    my Adidas, so adios
    All day i dream, like im comatose
    Thats your ship sinking, and im so afloat
    I’m T-Pain, I’m on a boat!!!
    Not the slave one, decaprios either
    Hear the waves come, they started in the bleachers
    So I’m swag surfin’, the pools getting deeper (remember the reference to the 4 ft hotel pool?)
    You still sweet (suite) though, here come them room keepers (he previously calls niggas sweet)
    Ok ill be the strings, you be the shoes (now he’s changing positions cuz before he was the shoe remember?)
    But guess what[what?], now they Jimmy Choo’s
    I wear the pants, you in the pools
    Yo shit meows, my shit AWOOOOOOOOO
    I got a fifth flow, call me brother man (dude from Martin)
    Africa the set, yea that’s the motherland
    For that BP, I shed 50 tears
    In Nigeria that oil been spillin’ for like 50 years!
    Fifty years! Hell naww, hell yeahhh, tryina tell ya’ll
    At this rate, niggas gon lose!
    Can’t search for water, or grow your own food!
    Tell me what’s gon’ happen, when them stores close
    And ain’t gon open up, no more
    Yeah thats the realest shit
    You gon’ feel dat, hungers yo enemy
    But you can’t kill dat!
    Nigga wake up, don’t join the army
    Kill your own peoples, but fear Illuminatis?
    and they ain’t even real, or are they?
    But you ain’t even know, becuz you partay
    too fuckin much, if you start to doubt
    they already in yo mind, and comin’ out yo mouth
    Its not a trick, nigga, it’s a trap
    Survival of the fit, is what they aiming at
    And niggas aint fit, fat as hell!
    Fat in mind, body fat aswell
    Who use most the drugs? Americans!
    Whats in Afghanistan? heroin!
    You think thats by mistake? They cant stop dat?
    Don’t think you safe though, because you not black
    Greed is colorblind, so I’m colorblind
    They gon’ fuck with yours soon as they done with mine
    They say i try too hard, verses overwhelm
    I learned most of this, from niggas sittin’ in jail
    Where you think im from? I’m from the streets nigga!
    Triple OGs told me to teach nigga!
    And that aint made up, nope! Thats a fact
    They say that gangsta shit, is the shit i rap
    Look who i attract, look at my inner circle
    Bunch of street niggas, and a couple Erkles
    Look at my fanbase! Oh yess!
    Fuck what Pro say! Look at this protest!
    Where they do that at? Who they do that for?
    Must mean I’m doin’ bad, that things is movin’ slow
    We talkin’ revolution on public radio!
    Then catch me down in Houston, sittin on them 84′s
    Trae wassup, ABN, gotcha back nigga, sink or swim
    Free Chilly Chill, shake off yo mastas
    Pray to God; Build yo mind faster

    [Lupe: Chorus]
    I think I’m Malcom X, Martin Luther
    Add a King, add a Junior
    Couple bible verses, and some sooners

    Fela Kuti, Marcus Garvey
    Them the real ones, light a lighter for em
    If you ain’t know, I’m ridin’ for em

    “Honestly it was boring. He should have switched the flow instead of using ross’ flow from the actual song.”

    I agree…
    Alot was said (and I’m a fan or lyrics and concepts), but he should have just used his own flow. This didn’t sound natural.

  43. CJeezY says:

    This jawn is Fire! But…… THESE MUTHAFUCKAS MAD THAT IM ICEEYYY!!!!! Lol

  44. I FUCK HOOKERZ AND JIZZ ON THEIR TITTIES says:

    @himom thanx for the lyrics deep shit by lupe,,,he probably got some illuminati, secret society references on his lasers album thats why the industry wont release that shit untill he changes it .music industry is the satan run by illuminati jewz ,anybody who goes against them and what they try to insert in the mind of the youth will never succeed.

  45. I GRIND MY TEETH says:

    @cyeezy lol the ross version got some lines that stick to the head like crazy IM MEECHIE HOEEEE

  46. QUEENZ says:

  47. Wasn’t expecting that Atlantic tweets? type of good news. And yeah, Lupe killed the shit. Haters keep hating. Don’t make no difference: Lupe on the same ilk as Em. Ross? Gucci??? Hell the fuck naw!!! And a nigga like Ross and Gucci. But hell no. #deuces
