It's pretty upsetting that most Of Lupe's work is missing from so many platforms. Songs like this, Mazinger, Fire, Atomic Misphilosophy, etc. So much gold, just lost to modern day streamers.
@@7sixesssssI’ve downloaded the shit for free. I remember years ago he tweeted he’s done this for a reason. Has more free shit than anything else he has.
Man 2011 was insane. Lasers came out after literally getting Anon to blackmail Atlantic. Then we get Friend of the People in the fall like this! I remember playing the mixtape nonstop during my sophomore year. This track is still one of my favorites nearly 13 years later
"my only promise is I'll never ruin the young" this is why I love Lupe. He isn't polluting the youths minds with negativity like 98% of rappers nowadays.
" Funny how im only sick, if you never catch a thing" Gotta say im guilty of that. one of the main reasons why lupe is in my top 3 is the way he can make me think and LEARN.
Why he so rebellious? 🙄 Upfront wit his realness 💯 They wannabe Fiascos 🥱😏 Reproduce his failures! 👀 My only promise is that I’ll never ruin the young! It’s March 2021 and I’m still bumpin this 🔥! And Lu still one of the best and the realest! #Lu #GOAT #FNF
This song is ingenious. The lyrics are so amazing. Bassnectar, Ellie Goulding, and Lupe turned out to be such a great combination. Great vocals, great beats, great lyrics. If one takes the time to analyze his lyrics, it's simply amazing. Emotionally riveting...."Riveting is rosy, pockets full of posies"
Dad made me a soldier, GI Joe to these Cobras Tryna FBI my Panther, CIA my Sankofa Infiltrate my Carter, illuminate my culture STILL GIVES ME CHILLS IN 2024
Sitting at the docs rn and the original Ellie Goulding came on, and instantly brought me back here... With everything going on its easy to lose your way, just make sure you get back right...
I'm gonna stand up for what is right! Been a soldier since birth, a lot of temptations had tried to keep me down, though I'd over came. Lupe Fiasco, I pray to meet you one of these days.
"I and I 2 new Vans on a land for,Take that back,make that 2 new shoes on the van floor,Me and my band out on that road,On a never-back-down-from-a-stance tour,TOUCHED MORE SOLES(SOULS)THN A DANCE FLOOR,While they touch less floors than a hand or Ceiling fan or wait,let me tell u slower Lift my fans up 2 the ceilin,n ull never touch the floor,Now if Noah need a rower,I'll be there with my oar,Til we get back to the shore,Dad made me a soldier,GI Joe to these Cobras" Wordplay and Metaphors WOW.
Why he so rebellious? Up-front with his realness? They wanna be fiascoes, reproduce his failures Emperor is his alias, but not Marcus Aurelius This is more like Sparta: kick you down a well, kid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SLR 123, WHOLE REVENGE OF THE NERDS MIXTAPE, ANIMAL PHARM, LIGHT BLUE, KICK PUSH, GO GO GADGET FLOW, BUT TBH THERES SO MANY GEMS IF I WAS YOU DO LIKE I DID DOWNLOAD HIS WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY, AND START FROM THE BEGINNING, EVEN THE MIXTAPES IT BLEW MY MIND HOW GOOD HE REALLY IS. I listened to all his stuff but I missed out on the newest albums but I'll get to it.
I can say that although rap/hip-hop is not what I really listen to anymore, this is potentially one of my favorite songs in any genre released this year.
this honestly has everything i was looking for in a good song, catchy beat, a little electro,girl with a sweet voice, and lupe with his style and swag.
this track needs to be in the 10’s of millions at least!...bout time that people started giving him his props!! Good music is still rockin…. check the group "INRG MUSIC - FEELIN’ IT" for some refreshing vibes
this is why lupe fiasco is my fav rapper because he is true hip-hop what other rapper can rap over a dub-step beat and yet speak such a deep message lupe is the evolution of rap #LASERS#
Now that all the dust has settled, this is really an amazing mixtape. I actually don't care if they aren't hip hop beats, matter of fact, it's nice for a change. Great lyrics as always, thank you Lu.
4/9/23 - I can’t find this anywhere but on YT. Used to play this all the time!! Epic track.
for some reason this version is found nowhere else. it sucks
It's pretty upsetting that most Of Lupe's work is missing from so many platforms. Songs like this, Mazinger, Fire, Atomic Misphilosophy, etc. So much gold, just lost to modern day streamers.
Glad we can at least find some of that stuff on the tube.
Yeah it’s unfortunate… buts it’s mostly because of the rights he has to those songs. All of those are either mixtape tracks or unreleased
Man i am so mad none of those tracks are on Spotify or tidal
@@7sixesssssI’ve downloaded the shit for free. I remember years ago he tweeted he’s done this for a reason. Has more free shit than anything else he has.
Reason for that the industry gate keepers black balled him.
This song still bangs in 2021, Lupe forever
Lupe Forever!!!!
2022
Damn straight
FACTS!!!
Banging in 2022
For me, this is the original version of this song 💖
Same. I didn't even know about the original until years after this came out.
Man 2011 was insane. Lasers came out after literally getting Anon to blackmail Atlantic. Then we get Friend of the People in the fall like this! I remember playing the mixtape nonstop during my sophomore year. This track is still one of my favorites nearly 13 years later

This aged like fine wine
@@tylerblake4028 why? care to explain
Then he sold out for the vax

manafloodin Argue with your friends over what really the record.
one of the most beautiful parts of listening to lupe is unpacking something you missed years later...
One of my favorite lines in hip hop history
@TheBunBun54321 same my man
And that’s why you don’t hear him anymore …
touched more souls (soles) than a dance floor..
Damn..
Tight!!! :)

"They want to be Fiascos; reproduce his Failures..."
If you are a Lupe fan, you know what he just referenced: one of his greatest pieces.
Facts, Failure a classic
A fiasco is a failure also 🔥
His first MURAL!!!!!
He didn't have to go this hard wow Lupe has always been the GOAT.
2021. WHY IS THIS SONG NOT ON ANY PLATFORMS?!

Why he so rebellious? 🙄
Upfront wit his realness 💯
They wannabe Fiascos 🥱😏
Reproduce his failures! 👀

Lu and anything is a great combo!

“SO, what are you going to stand for?”
One of my favorite opening bars of all time

Now I know that’s contradiction, wants and needs and competition. But it’s hard to stay on point with such extremes in opposition - genius line
Sitting at the docs rn and the original Ellie Goulding came on, and instantly brought me back here... With everything going on its easy to lose your way, just make sure you get back right...
True
Lupe is a legend bro
"Do you know Lupe Fiasco?"
"Yeah The show goes on"
"You don't know Lupe Fiasco..."
Amen
I love it. But his most over-rated track . Still love him though 🤗
FOR REAL!

I love this line. It’s the reason why this song sticks with me and I always try to live by this message.
"I and I 2 new Vans on a land for,Take that back,make that 2 new shoes on the van floor,Me and my band out on that road,On a never-back-down-from-a-stance tour,TOUCHED MORE SOLES(SOULS)THN A DANCE FLOOR,While they touch less floors than a hand or Ceiling fan or wait,let me tell u slower
Lift my fans up 2 the ceilin,n ull never touch the floor,Now if Noah need a rower,I'll be there with my oar,Til we get back to the shore,Dad made me a soldier,GI Joe to these Cobras"
Wordplay and Metaphors WOW.
This song gives just the juice I need for covid-19
Damnn this shit still cold than a mf. Lupe the 🐐
Why he so rebellious? Up-front with his realness?
They wanna be fiascoes, reproduce his failures
Emperor is his alias, but not Marcus Aurelius
This is more like Sparta: kick you down a well, kid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
the nostalgia hits so hard
2k19 and I still here every weeks!
There is no one better than Lupe Fiasco for a Dubstep instrumental IMO.
I used to listen to this song 1st semester at a university wow
Adrenaline4P Same! Brings back so much memories while walking down the halls and doing work on the computer.
This is one of my go to's when i run. Puts me in a zone.
lupe needs to drop an album with music like this :)
lasers
This is exactly why I love Lupe...he isn't afraid to think out of the box and jump on a beat like this..some futuristic shiz for real...LONG LIVE LUPE
I love Lupe but am new to listening to him...
If anyone can give me their top 5 songs by him let me know: so I have somewhere to start!!
Thanks 🙏👍

Never thought I'd see a Lupe & Ellie Goulding collab, but this truly is a match made in heaven
6/7/24 love this song still
this is why lupe fiasco is my fav rapper because he is true hip-hop what other rapper can rap over a dub-step beat and yet speak such a deep message lupe is the evolution of rap #LASERS#
“Funny how I’m only sick (as a lyricist), if you never catch a thing”
DAMN, iput my headphones in, this sounds just flawless
Lift my fans up to the ceiling, and you'll never touch the floor/flow, woah, now if Noah need a rower I'll be there
lupe.. such a lyrical beast. repsect him and his music cuz hes the truth in this industry
🔥🔥🔥
Your absence of presence has affected us all. Hopefully you will remain with us longer this time. Welcome back Mr. Hip Hop.
"And on my last check i copped that NSX, just like Pharell did."
Now that all the dust has settled, this is really an amazing mixtape. I actually don't care if they aren't hip hop beats, matter of fact, it's nice for a change. Great lyrics as always, thank you Lu.
If you have speakers..turn this up
This guy gets it
Lu is going way over people's heads with his lyrics and beat selection
Damn.....Lupe is a genius
Who’s listening to this in May 2019 ???
"Funny how I'm only sick if you never catch a thing" Might be one of the best lines I have ever heard...FNF baby!
They wanna be Fiasco's, reproduce his failures
B-Mint1994 Was that a reference to his song Failure?
Wyatt Yip Yeah, but that line has other interpretations as well. Just one of things I love about Lupe's lyricism.
B-Mint1994 Nice. Failure is prob my fav Lupe song next to Paper Cup.
I always thought it said reproduced as failures
Plus, in spanish the word "fiasco" means something like an abrupt failure
Everytime I listen to this track I feel more alive !!!
I FIGHT EVILL!!! LU IS THE METAFOR KING ;)
Hahahah tough guy huh.
afghankillah
White guy you ugly gay
Hahahahaahhaahhahahahahah whatever bruh
