This one's all Pharrell. Despite the fact that Lupe name dropped Hugo, only Lupe and Pharrell had the songwriting credits of this song in the BMI repertoire.
I remember when MTV did a behind the scenes for this video and Lupe’s sister was talking about how smart he really is. He was reading encyclopedias for fun! I wish we could get this shit back! The music, the fashion... everything!!!
I remember that back in 06. I watched it too! While everybody was on snappin or trappin rap back then. I was into lupe fiasco, common, kanye west, etc.
Lupe had chicago ina chokehold when this dropped. Magically i witnessed the Revenge of the Nerds before hand. I still wanna know what Lupe and StackBundles woulda did
Lupe is and will always be one if the best lyricists from the 2000s his wordplay and flow are unmatched and he along with other artists at the time promoted the nerd backpack rap style that's pretty much disappeared in present day hip.hop I'd genuinely live to see a return to this culture today's youth is caught up in this pretentious gangster look and promoting a drug party lifestyle that's going to hurt them in the long run
@@reekhigh5789 Ok 🤔, all I said was Hi 🙋♂️ I’m confused 🤷♂️...I meant no disrespect, weirdo, really? So if someone gives you complement then what do you call them? Btw Pharrell is Awesome and Great, I was really into Bape and BBC in the 2000’s. Appreciate you acknowledging my comment, Take Care and Be Safe God Bless 😇🙏👍🌎☮️❤️
Man, big ups to P for being one of the greatest producers of all time. Thank you for birthing artists like Tyler, The Creator and speaking of him, this song would be a perfect example of how P seriosuly influenced him, as most of his beats around this time sounded like this.
it’s not just pharrell in THE NEPTUNES!!!! 🙆♀️😪 “this beat i rhyme off- is from ‘thelonius p’ AND ‘hugo mind boss’” = pharrell AND chad hugo people always leave him out!!
This song takes back to when I was in 4th Grade back in Fall of 2006. I remember listening to this whole album on my Batman CD Player going to school. 2006 was a good year for Hip Hop !!! DJ Drama had the mixtape game on lock, Nas started the whole Hip Hop Is Dead theory and had a lot of rappers in their feelings,The Game vs 50 Cent was still entertaining, and Lil Wayne was even starting to get big once Dedication 2 came out, T.I had one of the best albums/movies of the year plus a lot of great albums dropped that year.
Word! 2006 was good year for hip hop. I'll even go back to 2004 where you had Kanye dropped The College Dropout and Lil brother "The Listening" among other releases that year. Those years were also dope where mainstream rap and underground indie rap were able to co exist with each other before the SoundCloud era came a few years later after that.
Bruh im telling you this is exactly how I felt. Lupe made me actually like and love Hiphop. I bet if he knew he was having such a positive effect on people like us, he would be a lot happier.
Pharrell, Lupe, Ye, Jerry, IBN, Virgil, Taz, Clipse, Hugo, I know there's more but these guys pioneered the Japanese streetwear into America. My mom would bring me stuff that I never heard until I started studying those guys. You never lose you nerd sense
Lupe caught my ear when this album dropped, he's your favorite lyricists favorite lyricist. Listening to this with older ears makes me appreciate it even more.
how does this not have at least a million views? I mean, "the swans in the pond called my dove ugly, but now they hug me, because its lovely, they love the aroma of a roamer of the world" I mean come on
This whole track had similies and metaphors that went over people's heads. It truly didn't get the credit it deserves for being lyrical and banger. "I warn y'all cornballs, I hush puppies." Thats one of the many cold bars on this track 🥶🥶🥶🥶
@@aryaman9559 You've been tricked. Hip hop was never about aggressive angry lyrics or death. Rap and hip hop was always allowed to have any topic. The difference between good and bad was lyrical prowess, flow and a damn good instrumental. That's all it really takes. Gunshots don't make a song better, they just tell a different story.
This is one of the best raps I've ever heard. I say that because there's a certain flow/pattern he uses that I've never heard in any other song before.
What i like about lupe fiasco is the way he moves in his videos hes not karate chopping people like drake nor is he swaying side to side trying to find where the fuck he is at like lil wayne nor is he standing still or walking in a straight line like wiz. Lupe Fiasco is smooth and the greatest !! keep it up man
If you just found out about Lupe... Go chilldren! Go and listen to all he has to offer! Listen to all of Food & Liquor, and The Cool and even more phonetically flabbergasting, his mixtapes! & when you have finished, go and spread the Lupe like Lupus to every man woman and child!
Back when I was in high school 🏫 and I was just different from the others than I heard Lupe music and I became a big fan back than. #ClassOf2009 #12/10/22
I love this song "you wanna loan leave my cologne alone its a lil too strong for you to be puttin on" I used to scream this when I got out the shower lol
Such a timeless joint!!! The way Lupe could make bangers but still keeps it 100% raw and lyrical and conscious all at the same time is on point! And is why Lupe is 1 of the goats, 1 of the very few who could survive in the golden era of Hip Hop!!
People Dont know about Quality Music This is the Reason I loved Lupe in the First place. His Creativity and lyricism is unmatched and he will definitely go down as one of the best that done it. Nowadays I've been listening to other albums such as Kendrick Lamar Section 80 and Stann Smith 2nd @ Race America, but I always have to listen to some Lupe.
this was the first song i ever heard from lupe and i liked it so I checked the food and liquor album and immediately loved it. food and liquor was one of the best albums ever.
What's makes me appreciate Lupe even more is how fresh he is. He's not shoving images of million dollar cars or dozens of females dressed in less clothes than I have socks on. Lupe's lyrics are not only fresh but complex and he presents a positivity a creativity that that is hard to find in modern day rap. Thank you, lupe.
"I gotcha"...it's called LIFE, and it happens to us all. We even reminisce of past times in our own lives. Nothing stays the same, we all evolve. One man's opinion of course. That said, F&L and The Cool were ridiculously, sick albums!

Just saw that video Genius posted about Pharrell's 4 count start and now I'm here... dope!
Kim same
Me too omg!
Kim same
Yessssss
same same
The enitre first verse is an extended metaphor for how he smells. Only Lupe can do shit like that.
B-Mint1994 facts. timeless
Big facts
Lupe Fiasco 🔥🔥🔥 this song Still Ride
No the verse is an extended metaphor for how fresh he is on the mic by using soap and cologne analogies all throughout the verse.
This is where I keep the bars like bathtub edgeeeeeees
The fashion of that time.. put me on on some shit to rock today! Some wouldn’t understand 😢 💯
“Gold Watch” was like reading a hypebeast GQ mag out loud. Same here.
💯I always will rock that 2000s style! It's nice to see I'm not alone lol.
Facts... they not ready
Pharell is one of the absolute at producing beats
John Doe *The Neptunes
John Doe him and Hugo you mean?
This one's all Pharrell. Despite the fact that Lupe name dropped Hugo, only Lupe and Pharrell had the songwriting credits of this song in the BMI repertoire.
@@philanderadriaan writing credits and production credits aren't mutually exclusive though
Phil A lol how naive of you my friend. The entire melody was all Chad. Literally. 😉
omg...this dude's wordplay is INSANE!!!
😀
I remember when MTV did a behind the scenes for this video and Lupe’s sister was talking about how smart he really is. He was reading encyclopedias for fun! I wish we could get this shit back! The music, the fashion... everything!!!
😪
He wearing glasses
I know you can't judge a book by it's cover, but he looks real smart too. Actually he looks smarter than any other rapper I've seen lol
Emphasis on the fashion
I remember that back in 06. I watched it too! While everybody was on snappin or trappin rap back then. I was into lupe fiasco, common, kanye west, etc.
This song is such a banger, I'm sad it wasn't as big as it should've been.
Honestly It’s incredible it was as big as it was. So many people loved this album that usually don’t like super intricate smart raps
Lupe had chicago ina chokehold when this dropped. Magically i witnessed the Revenge of the Nerds before hand. I still wanna know what Lupe and StackBundles woulda did
same, it def had potential
1000
"Food & Liquor" is still one of my all time favorite albums.
ABSOLUTELY!!! I’m so glad he pushed haaaard for most the songs when they didn’t want him to.
And includes the legendary "Tilted" included in the NFSMW soundtrack 😎
One of the most ridiculously good songs ever
This song is a big metaphor on how his style is as well as fragrances and how the way he raps might be too strong for people to be listening to
🎯
The best Neptune beat.
Lupe rapped circles around it.
Lupe is and will always be one if the best lyricists from the 2000s his wordplay and flow are unmatched and he along with other artists at the time promoted the nerd backpack rap style that's pretty much disappeared in present day hip.hop I'd genuinely live to see a return to this culture today's youth is caught up in this pretentious gangster look and promoting a drug party lifestyle that's going to hurt them in the long run
Ever*
Untouchable wordplay and entendres but not flow
@@ishaking6278I agree. However, his flow ain't bad either
@@undergroundvagos8481 He has some dope flows tho. Mazinger, Mural, Failure etc..
Lupe is the most underrated rapper of all time more people need to know about him 💯
He chose this. He could've been bigger but didn't want to dumb it down
I miss music like this - old Kanye, Pharrell in his prime and lupe fiasco
CHILD REBEL SOLDIER (CRS)
Who here in 2024? A classic😌
🍁🍁🍁🍁I got'cha!😉🙋🏾♀️💯🍁🍁🍁
The song is so HARD. Lupe was such an interesting artist and I love how Pharrell meshed with him. Pharrell is beyond talented!
He still is! Have you heard his new shit? He's incredible!
23 year old lupe was so COOL.
GOAT
Before he became pretentious
"Can't be 21 every time I sit and make verse"
Still the coolest
@@leon-kx1ex he never was
He still got it
@@CriticalThought004 imagine thinking Lupe is pretentious... lmao
This is a classic hit here. I get chills. His flow is very original while still being kinda oldschool.
Pharrell is greatness.

Over 14-15 now
His word play is nasty🔥🔥🔥 Lord, thank you for making me discover Lupe Fiasco💯
this beat is so fucking fire
Neptunes always ALWAYS produce 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was 14 watching this every day in computer class lol now I'll be 27 next week...will never forget this song. Such a timeless tune!
It's this beat! So catchy
Man, big ups to P for being one of the greatest producers of all time. Thank you for birthing artists like Tyler, The Creator and speaking of him, this song would be a perfect example of how P seriosuly influenced him, as most of his beats around this time sounded like this.
it’s not just pharrell in THE NEPTUNES!!!! 🙆♀️😪 “this beat i rhyme off- is from ‘thelonius p’ AND ‘hugo mind boss’” = pharrell AND chad hugo
people always leave him out!!
This was my favorite cut from the cd!!!
his wardrobe is just vibrant and chill. His swag speaks for itself: lyrics, presentation, concepts. He's one the last of a dying breed.

I wish he truly knew bc us REAL fans are truly out her very appreciative of his gift, passion & craft! He’s a legend before he even knew!
Lupe is that dude. I will always listen to his music.
Only the Neptunes can make an accordion sound 🔥🔥🔥 on a beat
Steven Castillo IT SOUNDS WICKED!!!
MF DOOM?
Nah madlib too
Madlib says hi
And madlib listen to Accordian by Madvillain ?
Happy 15th anniversary to Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor album!!
this was the year i got involved in Fashion and art. music was starting to get really good.. man times have changed

Basically all his music! He didn’t & still dosen’t 😢
Lupe defined being super cool
This video doesn't even have a million views. Shits sad how watered down hip hop is now this shit was 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Classic joint

2018 Lupe is trash
This is one of the best raps I've ever heard. I say that because there's a certain flow/pattern he uses that I've never heard in any other song before.
Still HITS today! I ❤❤❤❤😍🥰me some LUPE he was just in another league PERIOD!! Ahead of the game & they didn’t know what to do with him.
crazy ass lyrics crazy ass beat amazing song a product of its time and so nostalgic for me

Oof this song hooked me on Lupe. One of the most important songs to me.
On Lupe can make radio pop records and you still need a dictionary and encyclopedia 😱
I love the dancers! Not for nothing, but I appreciate the wholesome look. People of all ages can watch this video.
One of the greatest songs of all time!

Surprised this hasn’t got more views,this is a classic
Thats The Good Kid..
Bro I was 8 years old when Lupe came out in 2006. I'm 24 now and still bump this along with his whole discography.
I’m 34 so when I was 16 this was my shit , they whole swag I wanted to have lol ..
He was our Kendrick Lamar
that second verse...still genius 10 years later
OMG I USE TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG ALL THE TIME GOD I LOVE LUPE
Me to. Good ole days..
I love this song "you wanna loan leave my cologne alone its a lil too strong for you to be puttin on" I used to scream this when I got out the shower lol
This was ahead of its time.
Most of Lupe is
This is the most mid-2000's thing ever. In a good way.
Lupe really underrated in the MC game maine, but he always gotta be one of my favorite MC. also Pharell always a beast with production.
Such a timeless joint!!! The way Lupe could make bangers but still keeps it 100% raw and lyrical and conscious all at the same time is on point! And is why Lupe is 1 of the goats, 1 of the very few who could survive in the golden era of Hip Hop!!
YESSSSSS!! Co-sign ✍🏽 to the fullest!!!!!! ❤
Man I remember seeing this video back in 06 when I was in the 9th grade. Damn does time fly.
Lupe was so underated fr fr

Saw this on tv for Lupe's birthday
Sounds like some early Odd Future shit, beautiful.
YOOOOOOOO LETS KEEP THE FEEL GOOD MUSIC ALIVE
YES
Damn after 11 years later still listening man
Music The Mind One. No..
I've been listening to Lupe from the start. I wish people would respect his music more, he is saving todays crappy music.
Classic 🗣🔥🔥🔥
THIRTEENNNNN YEARS LATER AND WE ARE STILL HERE 🔥🔥🔥
you can hear the passion in his voice (here). his new album just doen't have the same feel.
this was the first song i ever heard from lupe and i liked it so I checked the food and liquor album and immediately loved it. food and liquor was one of the best albums ever.
Classic.
Twelve years ago I fell in love with this song and I'm STILL here for it 😍😍😍
Been listening to Lupe literally my entire life...how have I not heard this song until now😭 damn Lupe...he was fly
Pharrell delivered on that beat,, but lupe’s whole verse,, was above!
What's makes me appreciate Lupe even more is how fresh he is.
He's not shoving images of million dollar cars or dozens of females dressed in less clothes than I have socks on. Lupe's lyrics are not only fresh but complex and he presents a positivity a creativity that that is hard to find in modern day rap.
Thank you, lupe.
Indeed & that’s what I truly love & appreciate about him!!! He could’ve definitely hung with the 90s era too!
Aboutttt to murddderr this beat on my freestyle show tomorrow!
This song is way ahead of its time
Respect to one of the greats!
i miss this lupe.
now... i dont even know how to describe him now...
"I gotcha"...it's called LIFE, and it happens to us all. We even reminisce of past times in our own lives. Nothing stays the same, we all evolve. One man's opinion of course. That said, F&L and The Cool were ridiculously, sick albums!
Wise.
Not to mention, he just dropped a masterpiece called Tetsuo and Youth. Check it out, you'll be surprised.
Tres Nueve likewise
try listening to his album Testuo & Youth if you haven't yet
Wow forgot all about this nothing like being high listening to music and randomly running into a song you havent thought of in years or decades
I wish Lu would go back to this type of flow..I still like him and all but this lupe was my favorite. :') nostalgia.
i need that food and liquor jacket lu wearing
Lupe Wordplay in This song is Genius.....
I forgot how good this was
