I agreed until I realized that Lupe wasn't a child when he made this album. Reminding me that great things can occur at any age, any time my man. Go get it 😎
That's lowkey one of the greatest songs of all time. Nice and catchy chorus,an actual subject to the song,an amazing performance by lupe-this song just has it all
It's amazing how music can just instantly create strong feelings and give you what you need at that exact time. This song really helps me when I have self doubt.
This song is 8 years old and still amazes me of how much thought lupe put into it, he is definitely one of the most inspirational rappers and that is why I respect him so much
lupe is influenced by the artists of the 90's early 00's back when substance was still put in music and artists cared about making something worth listening for ages to come this track will outlive lupe which is the point that artists today miss if they want to be great classic records
I don't know why but I have such a strong nostalgy listening to this. I mean I feel it about many 2005-2009 songs but hook from Matthew Santos just gives me unbelievable chills
His struggle for fame to stay in the spotlight (second verse) and where is he now? Man This song aged really well and is so relevant to his career. It’s unfortunate people don’t want to hear his realist raps just cause it isn’t the style everyone recognises from him.
Sean O'Malley brought me BACK here. I sent this song to my son who will be in MLB one day. Forgot how amazing this song is...thanks for the gift, Lupe.
This song helped me through my toughest times in life. This song is truly timeless. Never give up on your dreams and always go all out in what you want to do in life.
this is such a thought provoking song. came out late 07 I was 16 then. I always come back to this to remember my childhood days. Lupe was the drake today back then.
Man, the memories of this song and what I was doing while it played in the background. 2007? Damn, feels like 2 lifetimes ago and more. I can't believe I'm still alive to be able to look back at it with a smile.
Davie Jones most of hip hop is aggressive though. listen to some esham or immortal technique.. they are aggreisve in nature, and they also pull out them subliminal messages
"And you better wear your shades The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage Down to the basement, past the Indian graves Where the dinosaurs laid Then out through China, nearly miss the airliners Magnified times five, unless it's pointed at the rhymer Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze". -I don't know why but for some reason I get chills when I hear this part of the verse.
To blend metaphors, punch lines all with in a complex story with lyrical rhythm is SUCH A HARD TASK...Many people who DON'T WRITE/RAP HAVE NO IDEA...LUPE NAILS IT ALL. My fav right behind 2pac- checkout ig@rispektively Awesome insightful comment yuh made!
This entire bar is a metaphor too the gates of heaven. When you go up to heaven to be deemed whether or not you are fit to pass the pearly gates or go to hell. Hes pretty much saying, "You better where your shades (they are putting you under a spotlight to see all the wrong you have done in your life), because spotlights here can burn holes through the stage", meaning if you aren't worthy of heaven you are getting sent straight to hell.
But the part that tied the laces is But even with all that most of em don't want it to fade... They been waiting since 10 to see the lights get dim. Fame is a monster .. This is mastery
@@razatiger22 it's not about heaven or hell, it's about the fame.. it can and will kill you while the audience that cheers for waits for it to happen.. fake love. Love yourself because no matter how famous you are only you can truly love you in the end
Chemical Juice now it's filled with this new rap that sounds like shit. Rappers now a days shove mashed potatoes in their mouth and start saying dumb shit and flash there cars and women and say nigga about 90% of the song and repeat the same verse over and over again
I know this is late but felt the need to reply. Keep your head up. My dad passed as well. Death is such a strange thing to deal with. When my mom dies it'll be much harder than my dads. I can't even imagine. I love my mom so much.
Man the 00's were lit! Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Cole, 50 Cent, Common, TI, The Game, Eminem, Pusha T, Young Jeezy and Rick Ross. Too many great artists from that era.
Verse 3 is my favorite verse ever which happens to be from my favorite song ever by my favorite artist ever on my favorite album ever which was made in one of the best years of my life
This song reminds me of the days me and my 2 bestfriends went to eachothers house every week... Went to school every day.... We were so close for 8 years .... We always stood up for eachother ... When i was 4-12 years old ... The greatest days of my life with no worries about exams or girls or looks or anything.... The 3 of us barely ever talk anymore and that sickens me .... I miss my child hood i wanna go back ....
Hatchet Man III I feel for u bro...but unfortunately life is just like that ....some including myself just call it "growing apart" meaning as you and your mates get older you start to find you have different interests and hobbies as well as life itself pulling you in your chosen and sometimes not chosen paths... I've got childhood friends I wish I could have stayed in contact with but at the same time some of them are actually/probably fathers/mothers, have other responsibilities or their personality might've changed altogether. There's endless reasons why this can and does happen....living from experience I just say "it's life" m8! Peace!
Crazy this was 12-13 years ago, low-key struggled so hard in that time period, but if there's anything to still miss so much it's the music like this!!
2007 was the most difficult year in my life, broke and had no computer while I was pursuing a degree in computer. After long and frustrating classes I would come to my room and comfort myself by playing this song from my DVD player every day until holidays. Now I have a degree, a house, and car. This song just brings memories.
Every time I listen to this song it keep reminding me of them good old days when I was still a kid before I got into the real,real life....2007 was the best year ever!🌊
In 2007, the iphone had just came out, the newest games console was the ps3 and we all were running windows XP downloadung torrents off Internet Explorer and we still made better music then.
+bigblackracoon if you think about it in the last 8 years it has a lot considering the modern age age style and inventions that are decades of technical advances

This was a rather mainstream song back in the day yet it`s level of wordplay is very high. And that dope message anybody who has artistic vision and aspirations can relate to Lupe one of the greatest no doubt!
I’ve been listening to this song for years and watched ufc 299 woke up before the fight started but missed Sean O’Malleys walkout, man wished I would’ve caught it live
8 years ago on this date Lupe fiasco released his best album ever titled "The Cool" on Atlantic records/ FNF. My top 5 songs from the album. 1. Put You On Game 2. Dumb It Down 3. Superstar 4. Hi-Definition 5. Gotta Eat
A los 14 escuché esta canción me encantó muchísimo pero no pude saber su nombre 😢 intenté buscarla nunca la encontré 😔 tengo 29 años y ayer la volví a escuchar en la ufc299 ahí si ya por fin la busqué y la encontré ❤😍😍😍

Sean O'Malley brought me BACK here. I sent this song to my son who will be in MLB one day. Forgot how amazing this song is...thanks for the gift, Lupe.
Only hip-hop song that gives me goosebumps. Perfect collision of two incredibly talented artists. Video looks super fresh 7 years out.
This song helped me through my toughest times in life. This song is truly timeless. Never give up on your dreams and always go all out in what you want to do in life.
this is such a thought provoking song. came out late 07 I was 16 then. I always come back to this to remember my childhood days. Lupe was the drake today back then.
lol fuck drake hes wack
jonathan cromartie Lupe has great lyrics Drake is whack af man leave
jonathan cromartie hell yea bro jr high type shxt
So he was a rapper who moved to r&b and started making bad music?
i was 16 too! time flies...
Man, the memories of this song and what I was doing while it played in the background.
2007? Damn, feels like 2 lifetimes ago and more.
I can't believe I'm still alive to be able to look back at it with a smile.
I was checking my audio settings in the intro.
LOL! Same bruh xD
ahahah Same man
Yeah yeah
Me too
HAHAHAHA SAME ! I WAS LIKE BRO WTF
It's almost 2014 and I remember when this first came out.
It's chill, not about drugs, no cussing, easy to sing to and rap along too etc. This is music. 2017 and it's still great.
I remember hearing this between jr. high and high school. This is probably the one and only thing hip hop that I've ever liked.
Huh... Listen to joey badass and ab soul and you'll change your mind
Ali Shuber The problem with that is that I normally only listen to aggressive music, like Prog Metal. This is why Superstar is such an anomaly to me.
Davie Jones most of hip hop is aggressive though. listen to some esham or immortal technique.. they are aggreisve in nature, and they also pull out them subliminal messages
Eminem, 2pac, Immortal Technique, Hopsin... Listen to those. ;) They are some aggressive rappers that I can think of.

I miss 2006 & 2007..when good music was made
When we heard these songs in the early 2000’s as kids and now we’re back all grown up. How I miss my childhood.😖🥺
Every time I listen to this song it keep reminding me of them good old days when I was still a kid before I got into the real,real life....2007 was the best year ever!🌊
Love yourself because superstars are only idols that people love to cheer for and love to kick when they fall down
In 2007, the iphone had just came out, the newest games console was the ps3 and we all were running windows XP downloadung torrents off Internet Explorer and we still made better music then.
Back then we was using limewire...

back when... good times
I know right!
I was 15 when this song came out :) good memories
hold old are you now ? 15,5 ?
no just kidding
Im hyped 22... Lol
Same here.
I was six lol
this is one of my favourite song of all time
Why can't we have good music like this anymore? This generation of music in 2016, 2017 now is out of hand I swear
Man, this was the stuff back when.
This is for ever real!!! Well crafted hip hop!
Yes sir!
The best memory i have is trying lsd with my bestfriend listening to this song on repeat till the sun was gone
Those were the days, I lived this song ...
The line about the sister always hits me in the chest
[Matthew Santos:]
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera is here
And the microphones
And they wanna know, oh oh oh (the return)
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they want a show, oh oh oh, yeah
[Lupe Fiasco:]
Yeah, uh, a fresh cool young Lu
Trying to catch his microphone, check 2-1-2
Wanna believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?
Did you improve on the design, did you do something new?
Well your name ain't on the guest list, who brung you?
You, the more famous person you come through
And the sexy lady next to you, you come too
And then it hit me, standing outside of Heaven
Waiting for God to come and get me, I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules and too gumshoe
Too much of a newcomer and too uncool
Like Shadow and Lavelle, I battle with it well
Though I need a holiday like lady who sung "Blue"
Go back, whatever you did you undo
Heavy as heaven, the devil on me, two tons too
[Matthew Santos:]
If you are what you say you are a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera is here
And the microphones
And they wanna know, oh oh oh, yeah
[Lupe Fiasco:]
And you better wear your shades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
Down to the basement, past the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
Then out through China, nearly miss the airliners
Magnified times five, unless it's pointed at the rhymer
Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze
Now that's important to say
Cause even with all that most of us don't want it to fade
We want it to braid
Meaning we want it to grow, meaning we want it to stay
Like the governor called and he told him to wait
Unstrap him from the chair and put him back in his cage
The audience ain't fazed
And they ain't gonna clap and they ain't gonna praise
They want everything back that they've paid
Cause they've been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim
[Matthew Santos:]
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they want a show, oh oh oh, yeah
[Lupe Fiasco:]
So chauffeur, chauffeur, come and take me away
Cause I've been standing in this line for like five whole days
Me and security ain't getting along
And when I got to the front, they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are thrown, M&M's are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every song's her favorite song and mics don't feedback
All the reviewers say "You need to go and see that"
And everybody claps cause everybody is pleased
And then they all take the stage and start performing for me
Like, "Ha ha ha-ha-ha
Ha ha ha-ha-ha, ha"
[Matthew Santos:]
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera's here
And the microphones
And they wanna know, oh oh oh
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they want a show, oh oh oh, yeah
If you are, what you say you are
Then have no fear
Who still listen to this in 2017
