What is your FAV LUPE lyric/QUOTE???????

[mali700]

The truth...is limitless in it's range
If you, drop a "T" and look at it in reverse,
I could hurt, look at the grimaces of the pain


Where revolution is dead...
No candles in its memory, No rememberance of its fame
Jus a mystery no mention in the history of the chain
The enemy, no Hennessey sentiments in its name
Jus a unmarked grave that menaces had to fane
With the propaganda, an images of the gangs
A lost art, no apprentices in the trained
And they brainwashed, no interest in this thang
And the minds weary all the adrenaline in the drain
While the Wrecking Bosses, disassembling thangs
Our highness is the cause, its imminence is the blame
The pride is still here, the pillages still remain, but:


yea pick one

 

[el flaco mcfly]

Lifffffe... ain't meant to come around twiiiice
Yeah, that's why I gotta get it right
They said I got it honest now I gotta give it life
But sleep on it, that's why God give you night

I mean, I had a dream that, God gave me flight
Too fly for my own good so, God gave me plight
If I wake up in the mornin now I gotta give 'em sight
Make 'em see, break 'em free, ain't a G, sho' you right

-Real

"The furthest they've gone is out of their mind, but they still here" I know this isn't lyrically his best but it just describes so manypeople and stuff back home.

"My Greatest Enemy Is My Inner Me"

Actually thought about getting that inked quite a few times

Really dude? Lupe? Would you rather listen to Gucci Mane?


Yes, without a doubt. What kinda dumb question is that?

But Lupe is way more skilled...

And this is why Lupe is tiring on me. It's not the wordplay, it's that his fans gawk at the wrong parts. They get the puns and the playson words, but they overlook the heart of the matter. Sidenote: which is why half of NT is sleep on Pac and don't think he's "lyrical"(I'm starting to hate that word too). Back to Lupe, he's becoming "The Cool", which is why I think he's gonna retire. All this hype isthe antithesis of his second album (which I barely tolerated anyway). Sure, the syllable flips on Gotti/Godly/Guard me are nice, but the lines that follow areRIDICULOUSLY powerful... peep:

But by my 30th watchin of "Streets is Watchin"
I was back to givin props again and that was botherin
Bout as uncomfortable as an untouchable touchin you
The theme songs that _s hustle to seemed wrong but these songs was coming true
And it was all becoming cool.....

... now that's heavy as heaven, even for the self-proclaimed Atlas himself. Pure honesty and self realization right there..

All the über wordplay aside, this is probably my favorite Lupe verse:

Or is it something they can never believe?
Or is it something you can never achieve?

Is it, Beyond your means?
Is it, Inside your dreams?
Can it, Never come out cause it's scared to
Unprepared too
Too worried about the words of the people it's weird to
You don't want them to hear you
You just wish there was a door that would appear that you can go disappear through
Well I'm feeling your pain
I was feeling the same
But I said I'd never feel that again

@ what he did to that song... it was full of too many gems

I found a condom on the ground that Johns would come into and thought
What constitutes a prostitute is the pursuit of profit then they drop it
The homie in a suit pat her on the butt, then rock it
It seems I was seein the same scene adopted
Prevalent in different things with the witnesses indifferent to stop it

It's crazy how a meager seven words can describe my entire existence. Favorite Lupe line by far. Much more is such a dope track

"It's mean, soldiers
Now let me put the streets down like steamrollers
With the CATS that push
40 oz. through the hood like King Cobras
See we sling soda
'Cause the extra four in the split is mixed
It's really 36"

this line speaks my whole life

 

[tuff g0ng]

2nd verse of "The Cool" (really can't go wrong with any of the verses, this is just my favorite):

Not at all nervous as he dug to the surface
Tarnished gold chain is what he loosened up the earth with
He used his mouth as a shovel to try and hollow
And when he couldn't dirt spit, swallowed it
Working like a... hmm... reverse archaeologist
Except, his buried treasure was sunshine
So when some shined through a hole that he had drove
It reflected off the gold and almost made son blind
He grabbed on to some grass, he climbed
Pulled himself up out of his own grave, and looked at the time
On the watch that had stopped six months after the shots
That had got him in the box, wringing Henny out his socks
Figured it was hours because he wasn't older
Used some flowers to brush the dirt up off his shoulders, so
With a right that was all bones and no reason to stay
Decided to walk home, so he...
Love the imagery.

Damn, a __ can't have a personal preference now? OK. So which one of you __s listens to Bach then?! He's far more historically and musicallysignificant than Lupe. And I don't wanna hear #+#% about "that's not my taste" or "I don't be in a mood for that"...none of that #+#%. Classical or DEATH!

I move eggs like ovaries

"I stack my paper and throw off my cents
This is top floor, better look out below.
Pennies from heaven is the same as the semi from the second,
And I reign (rain) supreme,
Turn your umbrellas upside down,
Did you even catch the change in theme?"
The wordplay

"Hats on tilt like these %@#$!+ ain't drop out the vending machine,
You gotta put more money in,
And I shake %@#$!+ up every time I drop a bar."

Took me a while to find this one out

Legit I never even caught the change in theme. I've been wrestling with this line for a while

but my line would be
"The caliber of the vocabulary simliar to excalibur swung with the grace of agassi in his amature"
That line made me want to be a hip hop artist, I want to eventually create something like that...don't think I can though
