Definitely dope, but not the first to drop positive lyrics this year… Em and Budden both dropped hot albums with more uplifting music than usual. I guess the only difference is Lupe been doing that since he debuted. This has been a great year for hip hop, looking forward to Banks/Kanye and others dropping fourth quarter.
dope i like this. lol its funny tho that a download button is right next to the purchase button… uhh download
I WILL BE BUYING LASERS…THIS SONG I HAVE TO AGREE WITH MY REAL HIP HOP HEADS…DOOOOOPPPPPPEEEE..POSITIVE HEARTFELT LYRICS…THANKS LUPE.
exceeds my expectations…a lot…dopeee
Good to hear more positive lyrics these days in hip hop. Lupe is one of many. Good choice for a single and dope song in itself.
No wonder they didn’t/don’t wanna put this album out. WACKJUCIEBUTTER
Garbage. It’s funny how these Lupe stans hop out of the closet to co-sign shit like this.
come down ppl just a second ago yall were hatin on lupe, now u all hoppin on his dick ? for all the real lupe fans out there FINALLY WE WON and fuck all dem who dissed us FNF UP
Told y’all he’s FIRE!!!!!!
Beat gets a bit tiresome after awhile, but i dig it
this is hot. Kane be killing the beats

Dope!
But that cover remind me of The Eminem Show, Encore type of album cover thang.
Lupe is crazy good!!
The lyrics are super dope, delivery and flow are on point.
Beat is boring!
Give the kid a chance to make a single, the way i see the more people that listen to lupe the better, this song is not even that bad his lyrics are still solid, maybe he did have to make a compromise and make a radio friendly single. We all know lupe could make a 100 singles he could be on top of all the charts if he chose too. He even talks about how they tried to chain him down, but he throws his feet on their desks, lupe is still real as he has ever been even if it is through a mainstream single. FNF UP!
straight flames! yo im tight i gotta wait 5 months tho gfoh…
@Slim co-sign its no that great
Hopefully this single blows up like Nothing On You did for B.o.B and Lupe can get his album pushed up at least a month.
this sound like young jeezy show time song
Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Aight Lupe! Tha kid got a winner with this one. I fux wit it. We need more music…Looks like Kanye’s got everyone on their toes in the 4th quarter.
Ew.
I guess this is the commercial tap dance he had to do for Atlantic to put his shit out.
yessssssss
Sick Lupe. Can’t wait for all of these albums. Kanye, Cudi, Lupe
Positivity ftw. Sounds like it can be a radio hit without the culture degradation and coonery that a lot of these radio “hits” are pushing. This >>>> the other radio jawns aaall daaay.

Modest Mouse rocked it better.
Anyone here getting sick of the closet blogging hip hop haters? Take this dude “Slim” a few posts up calling the people who think the track sounds good (which I agree, it’s a great track) “stans”. So you have a different opinion and that means everyone is a stan?
Why is everything always so black and white in hip hop? People say either “OMFG G.O.A.T. CLASSIC” or “label forced garbage”. It’s like fans of hip hop are unable to show any reasonable amount of intellect when listening to music.
This is a good track, I don’t honestly see how you can hate on this regardless of your taste. It’s positive, the beat is well done, and the lyrics are on point. Seriously, what gives?
lupe is back!!! i love this song
I f^cks with this
You’re full of it if you don’t like this song! This is a GREAT song, in fact it’s the most inspirational rap song of the year.
good track. well done lupe.
It’s hard to say i “love” it, b/c the modest mouse song was so dope…you know?
yesssiiirr
NOW THIS IS FUCKIN DOPE !
THIS WILL DEFO BE GETTING RADIO PLAY.
LASERS <333333
Wow…..
This is trash. I like Lupe, but gtfo with that auto-tune and boring ass beat. We’ve heard so many beats and hooks sound exactly like this one, when Kanye and Lupe are collaberating it should be a HELL of a lot better than this.
Lasers – 1/2
^^Kanye?

This is hot as fuck ….congrats kane u got another one
Dope shit….
Trumpets… in the background. yea this track really isnt that great and just sounds like everything else. way to bring it mainstream lupe!
fuck it, it does SOUND like the most commercial shit lupe has ever done…
BUT…
LISTEN TO THE LYRICS. ain’t SHIT “commercial” about that, my niggas. he’s still gonna say what he wants, no matter what track atlantic tries to shove down his throat. can’t wait for the album. i still have the utmost respect for this nigga. he’s no hypocrite.
Modest Mouse – Float On
Lupe is brilliant 🙂

Well done sir
Bless

ok shuts official…he maken me like em even more (pause)
That’s the way it goes, one day you’re down the next day your up. So keep pushing and attacking goals because the haters will be the first to congratulate. “Have you ever had the felling that you was being had”. Its hard out here trying to succeed in a culture of failure where winning is going against the grain. This shit is dope. Kane and Lupe made a great fucking track. Atlantic doesn’t deserve to put their greasy greedy hands on this material. Knowing that “the house that Ahmet Ertegun built” aka Atlantic will ultimately benefit from this makes me feel like we’re getting our freedom songs from the fascists oppressor on some 1984 Orwellian shit. The situation is disgusting but fuck it, the show goes on.
how all u haters are still hating on lupe after this. the track is radio friendly, has lyrics that are still dope as hell and he still not selling out. peep the first verse……tooooooooooooo meaningful.
FNF UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL @ LUPE FANS SMH….. THATS ALL I CAN SAY
LOL @ ZOOMZOOM SMH….. I CAN SAY MORE AND TYPE WITHOUT CAPS, BUT, IM MAKING A POINT.
DOPE. This shit go hard, best Lupe song I heard in a minute. The comments says it all, most people like it so it must be dope.
Haters Gone Hate, to everyone complainin bout it not bein up to lupe’s standards and too mainstream, I ask you, lyrically speaking can you think of anything mainstream that is as well written and complex as this is in a while? didn’t think so.
[…] Previously: Lupe Fiasco “The Show Goes On“ […]
For mainstream… this >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the shit out there now.
By far his hottest stuff since Superstar.
This isn’t even at his best.
I THINK WIZ KHALIFA WROTE IT CUZ IT SOUND LIKE WIZ KHALIFA N THIS SOUND LIKE LUPE . U CAN EVEN HEAR TYLORS IN THE BUILDING WHEN THE SONG START.
I THINK WIZ KHALIFA WROTE IT CUZ IT SOUND LIKE WIZ KHALIFA N THIS DOESNT SOUND LIKE LUPE . U CAN EVEN HEAR TYLORS IN THE BUILDING WHEN THE SONG START
Loves Always Shines Everytime Remember 2 Smile 😉
I don’t like this shit
Beaming was dope and i’m sure theres a ton of good album cuts
THIS JOINT IS FIRE!!!! All the people hating don’t know anything about rap. Lupe is spitting fire and the beat is on point. It’s like Little Brother said “Dope Rhymes Dope Beats What More Could Ya’ll Want”. All the haters should go listen to some soulja boy and crank their asses off a cliff.
Am I the only person here who thinks this is weak? It sounds like every other mainstream bullshit out there. If his entire album sounds like this crap then he’s sold out for sure.
