Nah...he said he won't do any more mixtapes...but he also said it's not 100% that he'll call it wraps....so there's some hope

He said he loves performing though...so there's a possibility he'll keep performing after he retires

Now honestly... this song is so dope, tell me why drugs/sex/guns rap is supposedly better than this? Lupe and Kanye are the only reasons I'm stilllistening to hip-hop.

So through the Grim Reaper sickle sharpening
Macintosh marketing
Oil field augering
Brazilian adolescent disarmament
Israeli occupation
Islamic martyrdom, precise
Yeah, laser guided targeting
Oil for food, water, and terrorist organization harborin
Sand camouflage army men
CCF sponsorin, world conquerin, telephone monitorin
Louis Vuitton modelin, pornographic actress honorin
String theory ponderin, bullimic vomitin
Catholic priest fondlin, pre-emptive bombin and Osama and no bombin them
They breakin in my car again, deforestation and overloggin and
Hennessy and Hypnotic swallowin, hydroponic coughin and
All the world's ills, sittin on chrome 24-inch wheels, like that

first time I heard that I flipped

mmm,mmm,mmm TRUTH

edit: you need to listen to that 'Glory' boooooooooooooy you talkin bout

 

[clarkkent415]

Greatest lyricist of all time.

 

[pj and bompton]

I'd pay a good amount of money to see Lupe perform F&L in it's entirety...

 

[harlem on the rise]

 

[dapper d]

No exaggeration, I don't think they're five rappers, throughout history, that could do what Lupe did on this song...that goes for Steady Mobing also...

Dude just broke down the hood so beautifuly and perfectly...

I wish dude would rock with this lane more instead of all that spaceman rock !%@$ he be trying to do...

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

Favorite Lupe Track ever. Dude killed this I still smh @ the third verse.
