Is there any more depth to this than a double entendre on the word sick, then a double meaning of the word herd/heard, because if not, its not really that great a line
"I *peep the game* like *cartridges* and *RF switches.* *Freezes and glitches,* I *channel 3* to *tri* -lateral commission this" What yall young ones know about switchin to channel 3 and messing with those Nintendo RF switches to get the Nintendo game to work or show up? Peeping the inside (through the bottom) of the game cartridge to see if there is any dust or debris to fix the freezes and glitches? Lupe is out of this world.
@@tresaga3209 as a verb, the word "commission" has two possible meanings one of which is "bring (something newly produced, such as a factory or machine) *into working condition* ". Thus, what Lupe is saying is that he is trying 3 things in parallel (at the same time) i.e. tri-laterally to get the Nintendo (NES or SNES), which was probably new at the time, to work as if to say he is bringing the machine online as we say nowadays. He could also be using the other, simpler meaning which is to get something (or someone) to make, create, or do something which in this case, Lupe is trying to get the NES to produce images on the TV instead of noise. All this boils down to Lupe essentially saying, that he is trying 3 ways, simultaneously, to get the Nintendo to work. Keep in mind also, this whole bar is a simile(analogy) of how Lupe "peeps the game". Note that the word commission is often used when it comes to getting an artist to produce art for someone. Lupe investigates and keeps an eye on "the game" in 3 ways simultaneously to commission the artwork that he produces ie to inspire or fuel or just help produce the artwork that he is producing. There is also the cover art which Lupe may have also commissioned. This is my own understanding of this simile.
Oh yes, late night vibes. This has been my go to learning, enjoying and vibing to hip hop track since it came out. This whole EP is a blessing. Kept me tapped in all thru the Pandemic and made so much sense. There is intelligence in this culture. Lupe Fiasco, You're the GOAT. ONE LOVE 🙏

@@Dru_Won are you sure about that? Maybe you just don't understand that he's the greatest and his off top sounds better and more fluid than what it takes other artists days and even weeks to try to accomplish...has that not crossed your mind? You're welcome.
@@harveytoofresh8746 yea I'm sure about it. It's possible that maybe you just don't understand how rapping works. I guess I'd be glad to explain if u need me to
@@Dru_Won so before you continue digging this hole for yourself...has it occured to you, that the fact that you are literally the only person that thinks this doesn't really bode well for your argument...? No? Also, you explaining how "rapping words" works, to me of all people, is utterly laughable...but by all means, feel free to carry on deep throating your own foot.
When i listen to lupe fiasco i learn something new. Like for instance when he said "thats enough of rap lets teach names"i realized the word noun is just another way to say name.because he was naming a bunch of stuff.
Lupe thank you for always putting in the effort and giving us quality i will always appreciate you, as my favourite MC personally I've been listening to you for about 10 years now ever since i discovered you on need for speed most wanted 2005 with "Tilted"
THE BEST! THE KING! THE REALEST! BIG UP LUPE, YOU PLANTING SEEDS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION TO RISE ABOVE FORCED ASSIMILATION INTO AMERIKKA. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BROTHER KEEP GOING.
Wow bro this is like pops popin fresh up in this new future for all of us does anyone see how great we can make a new futures for are self now with how the world people have to change make something amazzing now guys and grow it now see you 2021 happy new year then!
Can't wait for the album Lupe! After hearing Mr Morale I have no doubt you're going to surpass its quality tenfold. You step outside the box while retaining your core foundation, really respect it.

Been saying this for years but imo Lupe is the GOAT.
And its not even close
I just literally got punched in the mouth over this debate this evening.
...not even close
@@harveytoofresh8746 how’d that go?
Facts
@@harveytoofresh8746 One for the team! thnx though 😂
Lupe is a living legend. This deserves so much more recognition
One of the best rappers in ever. Haven't listened to this yet however all of his raps are literally 2 in 1.
TRUUUU!
If you know you know
He’s so slept on, I can’t even comprehend when ppl don’t mention him, when he’s like top 3 alive.
@@21Nekoda sometimes 3 in 1 haha
Lupe is a receipt for Hip Hop Quality.
Couldn't have said it better myself
THATS A BAAAR
STAMPED! Without Approval. . .No Curfew!
When you the recipe AND the receipt
His recent songs literally alter my state of mind. Almost like a calm high.
Exactly i feel that bro.
thats bcuz energy is real .. keep yours protected in this spiritual warfare
"It's all love but sometimes you gotta chastise the shorties... go in the house kids."
Say you da GOAT without sayin you da GOAT.
Lupe reminds me of why I picked up a pen to scribble rhymes or why I fell in love with hip-hop/rap music in the first place.
Is it me or Lupe makes you feel like hip hop is a science 🔊🔊🔊Push like if you agree....
music is a science
Push and kick it
U mean psychology
Ain't Bun B a professor at a university somewhere? Lupe should do the same. His knowledge is out of this world.
Prince Lv8 last 2 album weren’t so sure but Lupe definitely back science for sure

LYRICS
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]
Yo yo yo, I got this beat off Twitter
Let me show you how I did it though
First, I took a screen record, went to GarageBand
Then I had to export the QuickTime file for audio only
Then I dumped it in the Band
Looped it up, hope you understand
That's just process, now currently I think about what to say
Okay, uh
[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Another day in Coronavirus
Hope we never touch like papyrus and a stylus
Old school meets new school, don't want to waste your time
Let's skirt the issue like a tutu
I was thinking of moving the IG Live over to, to TH-cam
Reporting live from the scene like a news crew
You view the shipshape, carnival bar
Even the cruise knew whose who approved
Three that's what you do when there's nobody else left to prove to
Virg', write Lupe on my Lupe
We go back like Just Blaze made beats for the 2-Way
Back then I used to do it for the hoorays
Last night I posted up a pic of me, Cole and Toure
At the Grammys with the matriarchs of our families
Every once in a while, a rapper ask how can he become S.O.S.A like Sammy
Rest in peace Fred (Rest in peace) rest in peace Versus (Rest in peace)
I hope you both wrapped around some wings like the recipe at Church's
Levels, y'all were both two-piece specials
Peace, peace
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
That might have been too deep for the devils, shoulda never gave us shovels
Don't kick pebbles at rebels without schedules
Lyrical stickler, young riddler
From Chicago, the Midwest, that don't get no middler
That Last Dance look at Mike, Judge Mathis look-alike
Kid 'n Play at the House Party, just know that my foot is light
Lori, from planet self-explanatory
It's all love, but sometimes, you gotta chastise the shorties
Go in the house kids, essential ventures only
And mask over the mouth kids, and if you didn't know me
Call me rap Anthony Fauci, that black blackity grouchy mouthpiece
Ramadan breath, prayer rug pointed at Saudi
Tuck it in and square up, get reacquainted with your hairbrush
Just cause Andrew is a Barber, that don't mean he's giving haircuts
That landed suitably, worded beautifully
They heard that I was sick, now they herd immunity
Uh, choose wisely
You can use this time to be in shape or eat a cake
Tonight, I might post a picture of me and Drake
You gon' have to see and wait, make dua and eat a date
Peace
[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
War
I guess 'cause it's on the album I gotta give you more
Like Islamic Spain and other chocolate rain
To see the vein like narcissists in the mirror
I peep the game like cartridges and hard switches
Freezers and glitches, I channel three the trilateral commission
It's more my speed until it softlock, let's flip a golf plot
My drive is for you to put your face in a hole like ostriches
You got a cough out
So LF95 is like a cough drop meets Kafka, meets Bain
That's a birdie, let's keep playing
Birdbox on a sunken ship full of coins, that's sea change
Enough raps, let's teach names
[Outro: Lupe Fiasco]
Lupe on the lyrics of course
The phenomenal Kaelin Ellis on the music
This has been HOUSE
I'd like to thank Crystal Torres, Graham, dawg, Graham Burris
Virgil Abloh, Sky Gellatley, Ricky Kim on the cover art
Abel Gerabaldi on the mix
This project is dedicated to the life and living memory
Of Peter Gellatley and all those who have passed during this time
Stay in the house!
Thanks y’all!
Lupe is back. Thank God for Lupe.
🙌🙌🙌
Lupe does it again 💪🏾
Always
Wow what a top track 🙌🔥. One of the best yet. That herd immunity bar was toooooo crazzzzzzy 👌

"To see the Vein (Vane), like a Narcissist in the Mirror" Lupe always has something for ya if youre listening
I discovered this yesterday. For me, it's one of the best projects of 2020
Lupe is probably my favorite rapper..that says a lot.. Andre 3k is with him
When i listen to lupe fiasco i learn something new. Like for instance when he said "thats enough of rap lets teach names"i realized the word noun is just another way to say name.because he was naming a bunch of stuff.
Get em Lupe
One of the best off top. The type of pressure that make ya dome POP!
Find the thread in here about it not being off top...it's fun. Kentrae Lawler
Bra he really made a full track out his Twitter freestyle sum GOAT shit frrr
If you know, you know that the "Virg, write Lupe on my Lupe" is a ref. to Dr. Birds by Griselda -- brilliance...
U hear DOOM all in this. Salute to Lupe. One of the greatest ever ever ever
The most underrated rapper of all time
This whole project is everything I knew and hoped it would be, and then some. The whole concept is simply dope
The amount of views just show how slept on lupe is!!!!!
Real producers understand the process

And real artists understand the craft
Harvey Too Fresh 🤞🏾❤️

Whole EP was great and I loved it. I also wonder what Lupe is gonna do next.
Bro I just got into your music yesterday and this makes me happy
You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. Count yourself as blessed
The first two albums will trip you out
This beat just be in my head when I'm walking.
Thank you Lupe Fiasco

Lupe, and you don't stop!!! do not stop...
Well done my man ... fire
Love the new music. Thank you Lupe
Thank you Lupe!!!
Doom is most definitely an influence

Kendrick last 2 albums trash
I was coming to address the first comments and am completely baffled by the last comment. I'm going to leave y'all alone
Goosebumps
GOAT..... We don't deserve Lupe
this song hits so different now. RIP Virgil Bless you and your family - journey
Thank you so much Lupe.
This whole ep is a super classic
"It might of been too deep for them devils
They should of never gave us shovels"
Yes, come to TH-cam. I can't catch all that knowledge you be kicking on IG.
Living Legend🐐
Ramadan breath prayer rug pointed at saudi, sounds good through my new genelecs Akhi, BarakAllah feek
Thank you Lupe. 👍
This has become my daily Anthem for Solitude.
Sounds like j cole mixed with earth gang this is the nicest flow I've heard ever. With the art oh man makes me feel like a kid again. Mad endorphins
Those people you mention got their game from this man...this man is MJ...Cole & EG are Kobe/LeBron/KD/Giannis
Lupe needs tp do a project with mos def!!! This needs to happen. And when i say project i mean album
Ooooo...drippy beat, love it! This release of a track at a time feels very similar to Joyner releasing an album over time. Not mad at it.
Except Joyner's release was disappointing to say the least. He already released his best tracks and everything else was filler...
Legendary Lu!
Just can't wait for the new album!
This is my favorite off the mixtape
“Heard that I was sick, now they herd immunity”
Bruh that was the best Co-vid bar i've heard these past 3 months
has a mf doom vibe in this...
:(
Wheewwwwwww!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lyrical mastery 😎
