[CuckingFunt]

Smack that cheese?

Kinky!

[1369]

Since I'm so tragically unhip, WTF does "Stack that cheese" mean?

Something to do with money?

[sa_kid20]

my favorite song off that album
Yeah this song and Intruder Alert are my two favorites songs off this album.

[Bigzax]

never heard of the dude, but the rhymes are tight!

[tlongII]

While I have never listened to any of his music I've heard that his songs are rare for hip-hop in that they actually deliver a positive message. I give him a big thumbs for that! :tu

it pretty much means to make a lot of money

[Sense]

Personally like Superstar better...

[Phil Hellmuth]

Good video.

for those who don't know, lupe is one of a kind and a lyrical assassin. I listened to him when had mixtapes and barely anyone knew his name. feels kinda cool to be part of the beggining of what he now become.

[sa_kid20]

Lupe calling out someone for yawning. lol

[Spurminator]

Nikki's part is irritating, but the rest of it is pretty good.

[atxrocker]

lupe!

[TheSanityAnnex]

I just never warmed up to Lupe. He reminds me a lot of Kanye, who I don't care for either.

[CuckingFunt]

I just never warmed up to Lupe. He reminds me a lot of Kanye, who I don't care for either.I like both, but I don't love either.

And Kanye's arrogance drives me fucking insane.

[atxrocker]

while i admire kanye's ability to entertain (and admit he's probably the funner of the two) , i really dig lupe as an artist more. imo, lupe>>>kanye.

i like both though.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Their styles are so similar to me I can't listen to either. Maybe if Kanye had never been I'd be listening to Lupe.


Heard the two of them are going on tour together :rolleyes

[atxrocker]

two different styles of rhyme homie

[sa_kid20]

definately

[Thunder Dan]

I met him at the beer stand at Lollapalooza last year and had no idea who he was..interesting he is big now

[tlongII]

Hip-hop has been delivering a positive message since its creation.

Just about every review of Hip-hop I've read says the vast majority of it does not.

[nkdlunch]

his cd is the shit!

if it could fit in my wallet, i'd take it everywhere

[TheSanityAnnex]

Just about every review of Hip-hop I've read says the vast majority of it does not.The reviews you are reading are most likely of Rap, you know, that shit that is played on the radio/MTV ad nauseum.

[TheSanityAnnex]

two different styles of rhyme homieTheir flow and delivery sounds exactly the same to me.

[Phil Hellmuth]

Just about every review of Hip-hop I've read says the vast majority of it does not.

you are listening to the wrong reviews.

you are made to believe every hip hop album is like that, but the genre of hip hop is much much more deeper than your MTV and media driven ringtone rap stuff.

I could spend all day listing the cd's that are of good of significance

[atxrocker]

Their flow and delivery sounds exactly the same to me.



i can see how some of what they do is similar, but i think overall that lupe's lyrics are stronger and his subject matter is alot different from kanye's.

[Phil Hellmuth]

lupe has a variety of flows and delivery. If you haven't heard his early mixtape stuff, he shows it there more than the food and liqour and the Cool.. He rides the beat much much better than kanye IMO and his extensive wordplay is FAR superior.

[tlongII]

I re-visited the Lupe Fiasco info I had it indicated he was a rapper. Maybe that's why I have some confusion with the positive message being delivered? I'm not sure I understand the difference between rap and hip-hop either...

[MannyIsGod]

Kayne can't even touch Lupe's lyrics. Are you kidding me? Lupe is brilliant. The content of his songs is incredible.

[PeterBurns]

They are coming to Austin in about a month.
Bought 4 Tix.

Kayne, Lupe, N.E.R.D, and Rihanna.

Just starting to get into Lupe. Lyrically, he's as good as they get.
Reminds me a little of Talib, and Common mixed together.

Although he's a jackass, Kayne's story is pretty cool, and he just brings hit after hit.

The GLory is the best song off the Graduation CD.

[Phil Hellmuth]

check out this fairly old song by Lupe, it is one of his best. The lyrics in this are deep, try to decode, theres always a hidden wordplay somewhere. This is when I knew he had potential to be great

Lupe Fiasco Failure

It's mean, soldier
Now let me put the streets down like steamrollers
With the CATS that push
40 oz. through the hood like King Cobras
See me sling soda
'Cause the extra four in the split is mixed
It's really 36
Used to buy toasters and clips
You can tighten your circle or boa constrict
While you was lighting your purple, I was over the scripts
See, I couldn't walk the walk, couldn't really talk the talk
Had to get my talk to properly explain my walk
'Cause this lack in talk had my walk looking off
Now I'm over the limp
Watch how they mugs drop when they see my Verbal's able
(That's the Usual)
When I was po' I was low
Now me and my Chaps cop Purple Label
It's Ralph Lauren on the rap laureate
N*ggas brownnose, they are like "after him"
Runners at Interscope are not as Stoute as him
Please don't Interscope
It's gonna be a whole lot of I'Ving and respirating
If I lean out this window with Irene
Niggas as tall as Yao Ming
With L-U-P-Emperor
Is the foundation's high beams and the antennas
It's so serious every time I write my John Hancock like
Could damn near see Detroit
N*ggas is scared of heights
This is saran wrap and aluminum foil
Some potpourri, a little machine oil
I stack my paper and throw off my 6
This is top floor, better look out before
Pennies from heaven is the same as the semi from the second
And I reign supreme
Turn your umbrellas upside down
Did you even catch the change in theme?

And them n*ggas ain't Watts nor from his regime
Gangsta lean
Hats on tilt like these n*ggas ain't drop out the vending machine
You gotta put more money in
And I shake n*ggas up every time I drop a bar
(2 for 1)
It's horse in the Porsche and bricks in the box
Like mo' money them every time I cop a car
You see I'm a roller, right
So it might be a Rover, right
But every time I drop a 'r'
(Get off the streets)
It's "over" aite
Bet I be in the head like overnight
Like rollers, right
She the chauffeur, right
So I keep her sober
She don't get Fed Ex like overnight
I am Dolemite
All that gas can't help you but solar might
Just call on sun
Drop a 's'
Pick up an 'o'
Uno, put it all on "one"
Brace yourself like overbite
"For that quiet nigga that relocated down south
Coming back to floss"
Nigga get your molars right
Fix your grill
No plaque but a whole lot of cheese
This the drill
Mr. Chill
Gave me the green light like Yoda knife
So I'ma force my will
Like the Force I wield
Of course you will
Take my time
But weight behind only pertains
To that Porsche grill
It's snakes in the hood
Gotta watch for that Cobra bite
Let me see
There's snakes in the hood
A bird, a horse behind the grill
Something gator on the seat
And a fox behind the wheel

For achiever
My procedure's
To proceed at all cost
With no breather
I'm all walk
Rain, snow, or fever
I'm all coughs coming after your teacher
I'm on the ball like FIFA
Viva
Lupe Duce
Long live the leader
I remember I ain't have sneakers
It was welfare
Coming up for air is like
Whales there
Fila
But now I'm well here
I'm Shamu with twelve pair
And n*ggas wanna take me back to zero like Tare, fair..
Well, my skill's clear
You Sea World
It's Braille here
I'm Bumpy Johnson I stick to the streets
Keep my dogs out in front of me
You see what I'm saying
And I push ki's wonderfully

[sa_kid20]

This is my favorite Lupe song. REALLY listen to the lyrics.
