If that's how you feel, okay. But that reasoning makes no sense.

On another note...

"I'm ballin like the tops of pawns,
Circle of in-fluence gettin bigger like ripples thats on top of ponds"

The wordplay just made that line so much better. I feel like dude's flow is catching up to the lyrics.

One of my favorite lines too but its "ballin like the tops of Palms"....double meaning hear when your are ballin (playing basketball) your Palm is atop the ball as your dribble and the top of the Palms hotel in Vegas (penthouse suite) is for ballers.

Dude is just filthy.

one of my favorites off the mixtape, but the whole thing is straight

[eneyekayee]

I swear this dude's lyrics STAY flying over dude's heads...if you don't like his music, then I'm 99% sure you can't comprehend what he's actually saying...

EASILY the best rapper in the game [color= rgb(255, 255, 0)]right now[/color].

 That's what I thought, Cause the top of a pawn is a ball.

 Triple meaning.

It can easily be all three explanations.

Fever's getting feverish, PAIN IS GROWING SEAVERISH (As in the Seavers are the family in Growing Pains)....that line made me screw my face up something crazy, MUCH appreciated.

It is "pawns". Don't listen to that other guy... I actually heard Lupe's version before I heard Timbo/Drake's.... Can't even listen to the original now... This tape was like another stepping stone of Lupe's flow getting closer to Eminem's... Like watching LeBron get a jumpshot...

Let me get this straight. You don't like lupe cuz he's too soft so you give jim jones play time? (pause) 

.  Tsk, tsk, tsk, kid's

My ma'ma said they need me, cause...
I'm made from the best stuff on earth like Snapple Tea Leaves
They glass is half full so I spit into them like Celie.."

Dude said he spits into you like Celie. Sheesh.

this didn't even hit me until now. how is he going to body a track from a literary standpoint too. not fair at all. and lightweight pause on that line

 

[airjordan jb23]

Can't even listen to the original now...
Same, its been like this for awhile too.

Ok background info to people say he is soft

He is a trained black belt in karate.  He could kick your favorite rappers a#$
His father was a Black Panther
Lupe's mentor Charles Paton is serving 44 years for a case where the cops seized 6 kilos of heroin (estimated street value of $1 million)
When lupe references "the yellow or red ones" its slang for different heroin.

And you thought kick push was completely about skateboarding.....

 

Dude has been through a lot and the best part about him is that he still makes positive music.  He doesn't dwell on the bad parts of life.  He, to me, is the best rapper living right now.  PS go see him live it will make you like him even more.
