secound verse is basicly bout rap’n circles around wack rappers
for some reason the shitty quality one i heard a few months ago sounded way better. im let down. still pretty dope though.
Nah B.Dot, we have plenty of rappers who already dumb it down. Let me keep one dude who’s actually saying something.
Lupe’s great, happy to se him return with new music
Lupe delivers as usual [II].
nice track man real nice fuck jays d.o.a. u can’t claim auto tune for u and ur 2 friends lil wayne and kanye n then say no one else can use it who r u to do that its like goin back in time telling everyone they cant use scratches on tracks cos the first dj who did it uses it and its time to move on the music will decide when its time to move on not jay
it kills me that people complained and complained about hip hop, from the internet, to the radio station, to barber shops and even in out own hip hop media outlets. magazines, etc etc. but then you have lupe fiasco who comes along who pretty much encompasses everything empowering, positive, but still dope, an unbelievable lyricists, wordplay galore, orginal concepts and sound, etc etc etc…and there’s like a hush.
this nigga has not a one Vibe, XXL, Source magazine cover, barely gets reported on on hip hop sites…releases The Cool which trumps his freshmen LP in every fashion, and goes GOLD with STRICTLY positive music….hardly any radio play, etc.
there must be something else behind this shit…cuz dude should be heralded and praised for the shit he does. his consistency. to sell well over 500,000 records pushing strict positivity with hardly any profanity in rap music when most niggas ain’t even goin gold these days…c’mon. if he got the hip hop media’s attention the way he SHOULD, he’d have gone plat. easily. sabotage.
Lupe returns with his ability to manipulate words and metaphors in an uncanny way. This beat his hot and those of you who dont take time to listen to his lyrics will never understand how great of a lyricist Lu really is. Hes always sayin somethin

He’s muslim.. hiphop and spiritual blacks are no longer compatible. The powers that don’t want to promote that. Look up KAEDAQ, he’ll tell you alll about it.
its so obvious what he talking about hes talking about people in heaven shining down on you and then in the verses he is givin instances on where people are shining down. second verse he talkin bout how if we use auto tune and shit we just diggin our own grave.
you listening or skimmin ?
You guys saying “fuck jay auto-tune lives on” are stupid. Do yo fools listen to music or do you just skim through it? Lupe is condemning auto-tune in the second verse. Look up the lyrics and read close.
“You goin over niggas heads Lu! (dumb it down!)”

CO-SIGN!! Everybody complains, then someone comes along and fills the void and then everyone complains and hates. It seems there are more critics than fans, or maybe fans are more narrow in their tastes so they hate on anything that falls outside of the 2 or 3 artists they idolize..not really sure. I am sure though that Lupe has a superior ability to put words together…that same skill definately alienates alot of the mainstream who just wont get it…I’ll also say for me personally this kills anything I’ve heard from Eminem over the last 5 years, save for maybe (depending on the day) “Hello” and that freestyle joint with Alchemist…. let the hate begin.
Doesnt matter if his condeming Autotune it he still used it therefor it was still used to create art.
I feel sorry for those who don’t get what Lupe’s true lyrics are… woooow, he is a genius! one of the best TRUE HIP HOP ARTIST ever to come out in the industry!
Ignorant people listen only to the beat! LISTEN TO IT, LIKE REALLY LISTEN!! woooow
