  8. Belize says:

    Not diggin’ the lyrics.
    And his voice is all right for the beat (sounds good at first but by the second verse it’s a bit annoying).
    But I really love this beat!!

  13. Lupe the Killah says:

    Verse 1:
    I wipe the cold from my eye
    Stationed in Antarctica coldest nigga alive
    Flow is Armageddon might smite crows from the sky
    Before you drive you have to wipe locusts off your rides
    But I’m warming up oceans is on the rise
    I be Ocean with 11 associates on my side
    Colder than Chris Martin guitarin’
    Would you look at all the spies
    But they can’t see me I took out their eyes (I’s)
    Replaced them with some me’s
    So all they see is he’s
    But I will never run not even if they cry
    See I can never fall not even down their cheek
    But I will always ball (bawl)
    Let’s see who’s the 1st to blink
    And I don’t need no passwords ’cause I don’t need to cheat
    But you can say your last words then you can rest in peace
    I’m the hook after your last verse
    I’m also like the beat
    But I will turn it down so you can Go To Sleep

    Verse 2:
    Insomniac since way back see this is what I been like
    Bacon, eggs & pancakes eatin’ that at midnight
    Gettin’ up & goin’ hard I don’t need no Enzyte
    Come across as very calm mental state is Zen like
    Always had a lot of heart never been the tin type
    Never will I drop a dime never been the 10 type
    My girlfriend is very fine yeah she is a 10 right?
    Mink is draggin’ (dragon) on the floor fire in my windpipe
    You should come and clean up after riots that I incite
    Things got off the hand-ill (handle) left behind a landfill
    Traffic at a stand still stadium is fan filled
    Fill this bitch up with fans you still won’t blow my candle
    Out my can do spirit’s in the house
    And it’s possessing your possessions did you hear it by the couch?
    Boogey man under your bed not in the closet ’cause I’m not a homo
    Bonjour no dojo I won’t make a peep so you can…

    [HOOK]

    Verse 3:
    I wipe the cold from my eye
    Then put it in my stove & hope that my dough rise
    And that my clothes dry but I am so high
    I’m sitting on the storm that I got soaked by
    Now you can come close so you can get warm
    But you get no pie but you can sell ‘em for ‘em
    So here’s your bow-tie now get ready to fall
    Humans don’t fly the boy in the balloon
    See I didn’t go hide & I’m comin’ back to flow again
    Close down all that opium but I had to (Huh)
    And they said they need a hero in it so I’m back to dope again
    Pull up in that old-school Flinstone drop on rolling pins
    Time is all behind me this made me feel old again
    Grandma’s all around me I can feel her soul within
    Hold my daddy over him
    I woke the rooster’s woke the hen’s
    Everything is cashmere count the sheep…

    [HOOK]

  14. Don Breezy says:

    some niggas are just too slow minded to catch any of the lines…

  15. 2Tru says:

    So Lupe let dis go himself, huh? Gd… So we dnt gotta hear him cry lyka faggit about hiz muzik gittn leaked….

  16. Roy says:

    Dope as hell.

  17. FiAsCO says:

    yo why is everyone talking about gucci mane on here? i thought this was rapradar not wack ass bitch rap radar lol gucci mane and soulja boy is prolly the wackest artist ive ever heard no lie. p.s. whoever says this song isnt goodis too dumb to get what hes sayn he on another level than everyone out .

  18. gsdgs says:

    Dope song. Took a couple of listens for errything to sink in.

  19. DoeMoney says:

    Leave Horus alone . Drake is the truth he can get it all day everyday . Horus ,Drake and myself would be a great 3some . Dont you think so Horus ? I love me some Drake . Lupe is ok but he is no drizzy

  20. JP says:

    Nobody is fucking w Lupe w lyrically!!

  21. ATLien says:

    Not many can get on Lupe’s level lyrically. People that think otherwise need to go and ride Wayne’s dick a little more. Faggots.

  22. YOUAJOKE says:

    NOT LUPES BEST… REMINDS ME OF SHYNE

  23. Thank Me Hater says:

    This cat puts words together so damn well. Him jay electronically and j. Cole got next

  24. money mitch says:

    Nah J. electronica is def NOT next lol, when is he puttin anything out? when was the last j. electronica post you read? Im a huge lupe fan but this will be his third album, thats not next. Cole is next.

  25. ans says:

    Rappers need to stop speaking in this too-cool, laid-back monotone crap… No feeling in it. C’mon Lupe. Dope lyrics but wack delivery. (beat too).

  26. Cre says:

    Stop that nonsense. Lupe has had a better career than Gucci. Gucci cant get over 100k first week sales. Gucci got like 7 albums non of them got over 400k in sales.

  27. Cre says:

    Brian Pumper >>> Gucci Mane

  28. Don Bleek says:

    I think the record is an okay Lupe record. I think the hook could have been better, it’s not that catchy. Lupe is definitely going to need a hotter second single if he want his album to sell. http://www.yodonbleekraps.com

  29. Truth83 says:

    shit is nice.

    something to listen to while chilled out.

  30. SOSOCHI says:

    Niggas who say this is weak are the same niggas that said The Cool was weak. This song sounds like a more fed up Lupe, with an Enemy of the State flow, over a dope ass beat.

    Also, who gives a shit if the Gucci Fane appreciates Lupe? Lupe Fiasco is a metaphorical, lyrical rapper, exactly the opposite of Gucci. Thats why the fuck he listens to Gucci, so why do I care what he thinks?

  31. AJ says:

    I’m not here to go in on anybody and I’m not about to tolerate flame, cause I’m too grown to be internet thugging. I AM here to voice my opinion though and I’m not a fan of listening to stupidity because I believe in something somebody else doesn’t. #disclaimer.

    That being said, Gucci, Waka, OJ, and Soulja Boy are singlehandedly bringing the rap game, and whole communities down. That shit aint hip hop. That shit is a group of niggas telling you to kill, sell weed, and try to get on their level of being rich, while contradicting themselves and telling you that you can’t and never will be like them because anyone other than them is a lame. What happened to the days of Tribe? Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and actual hip hop versus trash rap and is influencing our children to be fuck ups. Lupe got mad lyrics. Whether you agree or disagree is a personal problem you need to work out on ya own, but in my eyes, the kid is one of the few bringing real music back. Yea, his hooks disappoint sometimes, especially since the cool, but the verses make up for it. Have you listened to enemy of the state? Go do that and read the lyrics. Gucci give you a metaphor you understand, lu activates your mind and makes you analyze his shit to get the meaning, BUT that’s not to say that he doesn’t take the obvious route too. He mixes it up and his shit is never about that same bullshit that every other artist is talking about only with different words. How many tracks and cds can niggas keep dropping about hoes, weed, money, and clothes? That shit is played homeboy.

    “Flow is armageddon, my smite crawls from the skies”. Nigga, that’s a cold line and you can’t tell me its not…unless you just don’t get it. Don’t talk shit about the man and you don’t even try to get into his shit. “Gucci man crazy and his ice game stunting” <- so fucking what? What does it mean to me? I don't listen to music to hear about how much better than me a guy is, I like to be entertained with a story, or cool flow/interesting metaphors.

    "Made/Maid man, you can call this cleaning up, I'm OCD, I never think its clean enough" <- Lu and that's one of his weaker flows. I aint dissing other artists, but I'm tired of them saying the same shit. All I been listening to is Jay Elect, Talib, Mos, Wale, The Cool Kids, Cudi and Lu. Everybody else just aint interesting to me….at all. AND CAN WE PLEASE GET AWAY FROM THIS DANCE RAP PHASE!!!

    Lu fans, don't go in on other people just cause somebody has an individual opinion. That's ignorant and completely stupid. If you object, drop ya favorite verses here and prove ya point like that. Nuff said. #psaover

    ^^^^^Tell em man^^^^^^

  33. So Icy Boi! says:

    Fuck Me I’m a retard.

  34. DoeMoney says:

    Yo, this track is softer than Crack My Girlz Jawbones’s momma’s ass…

  35. DoeMoney says:

    So Icy Boi buys his whole warddrobe at Walmart

  36. wake up says:

    For those of you talking about how talented gucci is, here is the best verse I’ve ever heard out of him. He even brought his friends with him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFiPANvxfDg

    Lupe is the truth. Can’t wait for the album.

Lupe, jay e, jay cole..they all decent for sure..and pretty damn nice compared to the guccie manns and the lil waynes of the world…they definitely trying to put hip hop back back on the right track since it turned 5th grader on us…but DAMN….none of these cats are making me say WOW rewind that back i can’t believe this! the song might be on repeat cuz its catchy and smooth but wu tang enter the 36 chambers wasn’t none of that and it blows shyt like this out of the water…come back to earth muthafuckas….you so desperate for hop hop to breathe again you latch on to the first signs of life in this bitch!
