Lupe Fiasco Appreciation

I saw it on TV, I was told to buy a CD
The CD told me buy a TV
The TV that I bought came with a CD that said go and buy the DVD
The DVD that I bought came with a CD
which was the DVD of the makin' of the TV, that I saw
Which told me to go and buy the CD in the first place, wait nah
I put the DVD in the TV so you can see what I saw
But wait, it's a CD so you can't see me, odd
Maybe I should just come out on DVD like CB, far
With mad special effects and maybe a CG, car
To ride around in on your TV
Bumpin' the CD that I got when I copped the TV
Which is the same TV in my car

that song had me
roll.gif
sick.gif
by the amount of lyricism expressed
but "the emperors soundtrack:

Here we are now, entertain us
Change don't change us
Ever since the game trained us
We came up like worms in the rain
I dream my chain became a loose noose that was used to hang us
So now, my insane brain, my 32 teeth
And two feet creep like its Elm Street
Cause
I only fear God
Know the weapons of the weak
The weakness of the hard
And I will never sleep

first time had me
eek.gif
@ that+ the creepy yet sick beat

PIFF! .... I love most of what he has come out with .... I have his song "and he gets the girl" on repeat every-time Im headed to class
 
When your spirit is strained and you limited to change
The lyrics in your limericks have changed
A different hook, the way the sentences arranged
More demented in your deliverance, more sinister in ya slang
Sounds more belligerent when its sang,
The truth...is limitless in it's range
If you, drop a "T" and look at it in reverse,
It could hurt, look at the grimaces of the pain
And its worse when it works, and ya membership is game
But you forgettin' the proof, diminishes in the flames
Like poof, the media cause images in ya brain
Of the score of the war where militants is slain
The faces of the guilty where innocence is proclaimed
And they filthy, the death airs outta winners
The listeners outta lames...
Of the ballad of the man, that the son of a minister has became so:-Glory

Only one more album left.

Yes, I liked Kick Push first but Conflict Diamonds is the one that is still in my ipod.
 
IMO the best song from The Cool: Lupe Fiasco - Put You on The Game


Don't you know
that I run this place,
And I've begun this race,
Must I rerun this pace?
I'm the reason its become this way
And their love for it is the reason I have become this praised
(lemme put you on game)
They love my darkness,
I make them heartless,
And in return, the have become my martyrs,
I've been in the poem of many a poet,
And I reside in the art of many a artist
(lemme put you on game)
Some of your smartest have tried to artictulate
My whole part in this
But they're fruitless in their harvestin'
 
anybody who cant appreciate Lupe Fiasco, i disregard their opinion concerning hip-hop and life in general immediately

Truthfully I have trouble with second versus
Cuz the first one be so intimidating
It'd be bullyin' and pickin on it instigatin
pointin out all the second ones limitations
like you aint nothing but an imitation
like, *****a bakin then it gets the chorus
and the beat to together then they gang up on him and get to hatin
but then around the 8th bar he tired
so they conspire and comiseratin then he fin' his inspiration
to spar, he takes a few seconds of judo lessons
gets back on beat then punches the guitar
they stand in awe like, when did you write that
they even right black
first verse already happened
so he don' have a chance to fight back
i like that.
Abagnale Junior, check me
you gon respect me
a 8 track listen to em feelin himself
swagger up and a few ad libs to back it up
lets back it up
i think youve had enough
give me my mic back
you aint even write that
oh its like that?
track stop pumpin till this %*%@@ stop frontin
yeah yeah now right back.

GTFOHWTBS. I know lupe is an intelligent human being but you fools act like he is writing a physics book. He is a RAPPER quit putting him on apedastal. I mean if you slow
F%$# get him he must not be that hard to understand. I can understand and appreciate his approach but you need to stop with that over the head business. Yousound lame going hard for someone who doesn't even know you exist.
