I know lupe isnt that popular but atleast he's popular among the people that really appreciate his music... Fiasco forever! This guy will always be dope as fuck
The whole song gets a little more interesting if you try and decipher it all in opposites. I know that’s probably not his intention, but a lot of parts make a more vivid picture In opposites
Worst part about this song is that if you show it to anybody that isn't politically aware they will think that YOU are going to become a terrorist because you question the government.
"I'm going to drive you through the night, down the hills". One can know the true meaning of light only when one has experienced darkness. Man can only ascend if he is aware of what is below him. Hegel's master/slave dialectic proved best that no one is truly free when some men are masters and others slaves. Nash equilibrium showed that, in a world where everyone is out for their own self, everyone is screwed of their fair share.
He's been on a roll post-LASERS. The lyrics and instrumentals on FOTP work perfectly together to cultivate ideas and get his point across- for the most part.
Man wakes up after going through a life changing experience (war), begins to question life and its purpose. Starts putting the pieces together of all the fucked up things that people never question. Decides to go to the higher power, knowing that they will probably turn him away, which it did. Shows that race is not of importance, the man in charge cares about no one but himself. Man feels lost and hopeless.
"Always speak in opposites," "This account is hacked, you know how to keep in touch. I'll never see you again, I hate you so much." I see what you did there, Lupe...
When archaeologists dig up our ruined cities thousands of years into our future by the share knowledge and wisdom in his records they would say lupe must have been one of our greatest philosopher and teacher.
'Dumb it down' explains why this has 50,000,000 (Excluding one being an original) I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars They criticized me for it, yet they all yell "holla" - Jay-z
+Troy Blackman Yeah it kinda sucks most rappers consciously choose money and greed over putting out music with substance. Imagine wat it might be like if after J Blew up he went back to writing deep shit. u reminded me of one of my fav. lines. of his If skills sold truth be told, id Probly be Lyrically, Talib Kweli.
I view this song as the resurfacing of the Lupe we fell in love with during Food & Liquor and The Cool. That abstract storytelling, thought-provoking shit. Love it!
*Always speak in opposites* You are a great human being, and your command of the English language and general demeanor lets everyone around you know just how much of a well educated gentleman you are. Everyone loves you. Nah, just yanking your cervix. On a serious note, good to see a Lupe fan like you on here. I can tell you are devoted since you happen to know his ancestors are from Niger. Props on your devotion, my brother.
As far as I'm concerned Kendrick & Lupe are the only rappers I listen to & THE BEST OF ANY GENERATION..like these are the top two..in no order..& if they ever work together I will finally be satisfied with music
Lupe is more dope than any of your so called "artists" who spend all day long singing about love... boyfriends, girlfriends, blar blar and all the trash and insignificant things. Lupe at least uses his talent to give out a message with meaning. Your musicians are stale
This tune is my life in its purist form i pick and choose my battles life in a bit of a limbo however im in the trenches unlocking new abilities waiting for my momment to reappear as rhe new me
Lupe I'll be waiting on that great American rap abulm that's in you called F&L2, I just hope that Alantic Records doesn't water down your greatness to make it more appealing to the radio. Lupe Fiasco so underated
2024 anyone? Such a gem here
Makes me shed a tear when artists like Lupe go unheard by the masses.
Shadowsunsi please. Dudes a Grammy nominee
@@JohnBoyJoy still extremely underrated compared to some of the lower "talent" these days
@@Shadowsunsi yep far underrated
It’s even more sad when the songs that they sample go unnoticed :/
Me too!! I had tried to share this song so many times.
Lupe just might be the most underrated artist on planet earth! He's definitely in my Top 5! Record labels are terrified of Lupe!
His message could crumble nations.
Lupe definitely doesn’t get his appropriate roses. This song is relevant a decade later.
Rt
This is going on right now Lupe is the smartest off all time
And stillllllllllllllll........
.......
9 Years Later Still A Hit🔥
The original prod is Kavinsky Nightcall... (its a sample)
It's still holds today 2022.
Underground type ish. Can’t put Lupe in a box
Timeless bro
Wow. I can't believe I missed this gem... Lupe is the greatest poetic storyteller to ever be overlooked in rap.
Lupe is so underrated it hurts
its like a movie. the story-telling is awesome~~~
Concisely i came back today to hear this again.
@@TheSmilodon85 i come back here from time to time, always have a good experience
Lupe always brings the heat
Tbf the song is from the movie Drive
I really like Lupe's take on this song. Of course I love Kavinsky's original version too, but I love Lupe's rhymes and flow. Good stuff.
It's like the track was made for Lupe to ride over.
plain and simple... lupe is one of the most intelligent artists from any genre
This track is more relevant now than ever
Only a few will ever understand this
"HELLO GORGEOUS. THIS POST IS PROBABLY BEING RECORDED."
"said it's silly how that our schools make us stupid and our jobs make us poor"
The first man to say we live in a society
This aged really well. It's getting worse.
This track is freaking hot. Lupe is a master tactician, a lyrical magician.
Kavinsky made the beat homie
That's nice lyricism itself
@@judastheman he directly talked about liking the lyrics man come on
THINK
Such a timeless song my god
Lupe is so vicious lyrically
Still reppin....always will be a fan of this man and his beautiful mind....FIRST AND 15th!!!!
Lup up
Kavinsky and Lupe Fiasco is pure dopeness
massive respect for my btother Lupe Fiasco
I know lupe isnt that popular but atleast he's popular among the people that really appreciate his music... Fiasco forever! This guy will always be dope as fuck
The whole song gets a little more interesting if you try and decipher it all in opposites. I know that’s probably not his intention, but a lot of parts make a more vivid picture In opposites
“Remember always speak in opposites. I hate you so much, it’s such a compliment”
You know how to keep intouch.
il never see you again; I hate you so much
had this on repeat for a minute..really spoke to me. Lu still killin it.
Lupe fiasco = greatest lyricist alive
One of the most original pieces of music i have ever heard!
It's a cover from Kavinsky
This has got to be one of the sickest tunes around.
Damn I love this
ThatsAPrettyLong NameYouHaveThere who gives a fuck about the hook
ThatsAPrettyLong NameYouHaveThere you're an idiot
DaCritikquee you're an idiot, then why do you think original song by Kavinsky has 40 mil. views???
I agree
@@robertpage5084 you’re a moron
this is important now 2020
for the 9th time rewinding this song and i feel this so much.. got love for Lupe
SoundTrakk 2 my life ❤
Shoutout to Lupe for sampling one of the nastiest tracks ever recorded.
Worst part about this song is that if you show it to anybody that isn't politically aware they will think that YOU are going to become a terrorist because you question the government.
"HELLO GORGEOUS. THIS POST IS PROBABLY BEING RECORDED."
aa dd Nah, worst part is that this song ends
For real. I used to get that when a family friend came to stay at my house and I sang Intruder Alert.
"I'm going to drive you through the night, down the hills".

Classic!!!! This should be on all streaming services….
Lupe Is The Most Creative Rapper To EVER LIVE
Brandon Thompson uh no
Ghostface
And one of the best of all time

Thanks for uploading this bro. Great piece of art indeed.

Holy IshT I love this song. Thanks bruh.

Thank you Lupie my wife is happy again. This is our love song.❤❤❤
"Always speak in opposites,"
"This account is hacked, you know how to keep in touch. I'll never see you again, I hate you so much."
I see what you did there, Lupe...
I HATE LUPE FIASCO
Dillon Whitley but its really disturbing if you consider what she said before could have been opposite too
@@nuclearthreat545 Okay
Jonathan Morales clearly you didn’t get the whole speak in opposites thing
“You love me a little bit”? :)
I want a part 4
we need that
Oh yeah a part4 would be dope
any news of it or is Lupe still laying dormant until he has to stead in and save hiphop/rap !?
@@lord7134 hey did drop there albums though with Drogas Wave in my opinion his best work.
I love how i don't have to reply to someone ignorant when another lupe follower will do it for me, respect to you brother, seriously. Beat me too it
drone strike coming to lupe fiasco's house someday
Too obvious prolly a plane crash or he gets shot up
REST IN PEACE CHRISTOPHER DORNER
Why isn’t this on streaming anywhere?! Ugh! It’s my FAVORITE!
Still bumping in 2021 😌
I can appreciate a very good song! Thanx Lupe!
2019 anyone?
2020 anyone?

KILLED IT LUPE!

Nick Fiasco what do you think?

This was also released on a mixtape that had no advertising/marketing behind. Lupe intended for this to be heard by people who want to hear it.
CLASSIC AGAIN BY LUPE! SLEPT ON !
I view this song as the resurfacing of the Lupe we fell in love with during Food & Liquor and The Cool. That abstract storytelling, thought-provoking shit. Love it!

We still hoping it happens
Bun B killed it.... his flow vicariously matches the beat
No it doesn’t
Kavinsky - Nightcall?
Why thanks Colin
Oh yea we rollin buddy.
Holy fuck the nostalgia, will always love Lupe!
Lupe is the only reason i listen to hip hop.I FIGHT EVIL.
There are other conscious rappers with amazing tunes. No one is on the same level though. This guy is not even human.
This never gets old ❤
This song is my childhood, Lupe lyrical genius 💙
Drive + Lupe = Infinite gold.
Lupe always on a tear man I swear.
This is exactly what Hiphop is about! Dope piece
This needs to reach 1 million views

Great! Keep up the great work Lupe
This still my favorite song
after 9 years of listening this song, still thinking about the text. We can call it art :)
Dam good lyrics! My speakers burst into flames.
Just AMAZING...
the beat is from the song night call which is used in the movie drive
Still a banger
Its my favorite movie of all time
Been looking for this song!!!
Nightcall is awesome. Lupe is awesome. Nightcall + Lupe = Dopeness. Gambino is swag. Nightcall + Lupe + Gambino = Swag+ Dopeness
"They're talkin' about you, boy. But you're still the same."
Lupe Fiasco iz amazing. This song iz powerful and great, and the movie Drive iz a terrific film.
Still an absolute vibe.
i wouldnt say lupe is changing, he just evolving. hes always gonna have the same message but hes just gonna have different ways of sharing them
love the beat and i love how he did this in diff perspectives
Lupe is more dope than any of your so called "artists" who spend all day long singing about love... boyfriends, girlfriends, blar blar and all the trash and insignificant things. Lupe at least uses his talent to give out a message with meaning. Your musicians are stale
It was used in a video, just a segment of it, but enough to get me intrigued to find out which song it was. :D
#2021 MESSAGE‼
Good shit! This beat is raw as hell!
Real lyrics lupe had so many bangers
This tune is my life in its purist form i pick and choose my battles life in a bit of a limbo however im in the trenches unlocking new abilities waiting for my momment to reappear as rhe new me
This song makes me think of Mr. Robot. Would be perfect for that show.
Lupe fiasco and Immortal technique should work together and make a sick as album about the truth.
Forever perfection.
Time out...I never heard this song before. I wonder if its related to "American Terrorist" from F&L 1
Studying Lupe in class. Year2033
Lyrical legend Lu
Lupe isn't able to ruin anything.
Very addicting song..
Lupe, how come you so good ?
this beat is dope
lupe is the best out....i fight evillllll
Lupe I'll be waiting on that great American rap abulm that's in you called F&L2, I just hope that Alantic Records doesn't water down your greatness to make it more appealing to the radio.
Lupe Fiasco so underated
this song is another reason as to why i wear my lupe fiasco lasers wristband all day errday LUPE FIASCO FTW!
