Man I really hate this guy. I wanted to like this song just from the title too.

It seems to me like he is tryin to be real deep, but not really saying ish.

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

I love him in general, and I like the rhyme schemes, but I'm not really feeling this other than as a throwaway rap. I guess the nonsensical lyrics are supposed to represent the average rapper?

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

I like Lupe.

I like that he mentioned Dy-lon from Chappele's show. Also Scuba Steve.

His new song is pretty good.

Song is ok, video is so meh.

Ugly Duckling did a better version of the song with the same title/concept. When they do something that isn't straight commedy rap better than you, that is not good.

In general, Lupe is awesome though.

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

Can't wait for his new cd, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, due out on December 18th.

lupe is a breath of fresh air

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

this was supposed to be funny? I don't get it then

I only made it to the first chorus or whatever its called tho

But basically he strings a bunch of stuff together thats supposed to be really deep and "wow, intelligent!" but really its kinda stupid and doesnt make much sense, and it just comes across as someone who thinks hes realy great trying to sound really deep and then the other rap guy gets on and says that hes being to profound and smart and he needs to dumb it down

the only way this is funny is the unintentional comedy brought on by the self imposed seriousness of it.

Maybe its just a really awesome level, in which case the guy is a genius, but considering who the target audience is, I reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyy doubt that.

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

Weird song I just found (despite having the CD for like four months)of his with Kanye and Pharrell over a Thom Yorke beat :Track Three

Just click on it to listen, and sorry if I shouldn't link that mods, but it's a free mixtape site.

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

Not bad thanks for the heads up OP.

You know I really wanted to like Food and Liquor but only thought it was good, not great. I think this is my favorite track:

I Gotcha

But definitely interested to check out his new album.

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

I like don't love this song but I like it. I love lupe. If anyone hasn't heard his mixtapes go and listen to them.

There are a couple posts in this thread hating on this song for trying to be too deep. I don't really see him trying to be really deep or anything, he's just being himself IMO.

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

i really like lupe, he is so much better the 90% of the trash that is out there now, this however def. isnt 1 of his better songs

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

I'm oddly attracted to Lupe Fiasco.

I can't really explain it. I like Food & Liquor a lot and I dig this song.

I really dig the album, even though if you find the original thread about the album in OOT, I didn't have the best to say about it after the first listen.

Daydreaming is my fav track from the album, but probably because Jilly from Philly KILLS it at the end.

A friend of mine reccomended UD, so I downloaded Taste The Secret/Journey to Anywhere, and I couldn't help but be completley annoyed by their style and overall lame rhyming schemes. And then I saw a video with them and could never take them seriously again.

Re: LUPE FIASCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

UD is hilarious. I like Taste the Secret a lot, but it's just sooooooo corny.
