  • I'm a little worried now. Lupe said F&L 2 was half done back in June or July. Then he says in his website it's coming soon. Then he goes on Facebook and Twitter asking what producers he should work with on F&L 2??? I'm beginning to think Atlantic has some influence on this album.

  • @Sooners4ever25 i feel you dude. pray that atlantic has no control. Although Soundtrakk is producing the album, so thats good because he produced food and liquor and parts of the cool.

  • Production wise Lasers is more pop than Hip Hop, but lyrically the album is a classic!!!...Besides, none of Lupe's albums have been straight up Hip Hop production wise...It works for him...The quality of the music is still GREAT, and the message gets through LOUD AND CLEAR...

  • @mintruth Hold On Playa (Deion Sanders Voice) Lasers is not a classic lyrically, and never will be. First off it hasn't been out enough time for it to be a considered classic. Besides that there's noting noteworthy that would make it a classic quality wise. Nevertheless, it's true that none of Lupe albums have been straight boom bap traditional Hip-Hop. However, none of them before Lasers were pop either. They were alternative hip hop that was innovative, and done very well.

  • Hate the flow tbh, hate it when he does this type of flow.

  • @MrCommenterguy he is just reciting it dumbass. 

  • @freshprince58 Do you know what flow is? If you did I guess you would know that it doesn't matter whether he is reciting it or delivering the verse, it doesn't make a difference. Educate yourself please before calling people dumbasses.

  • Dope, album of the year contester.

  • Think there wont be too many doubts, Lupe best rapper alive.

  • Lupe complained how Atlantic Records made him write songs he didn't want to for Lasers. And he also announced that this album would be an independent production.

    Sooo F&L2 - Lasers.

  • A swindled generation with no patience, full of swag

    Man that is so true

  • Yo can someone tell me whats the latest with Food and Liquor 2? I've read somewhere that he was releasing it at the end of this year???

  • It is funny, people are hating Lupe for LASERS, but for any other rapper that would have been their best album haha.... I am not saying it was great, but he went mainstream for one album and completly dominated it, proving he is the best out...

  • the last line always gets me..so refreshing 

  • I don't know why ppl don't like the LASERS. lasers was pretty good, all black everything, words i never said, shows goes on. its ok but not as good as his previous ones.

  • @Abba02 I agree LASERS wat better then a lot of shit out and it was not his fault it was Atlantic records fault.

  • @jeremykentdavis Just because it wasn't his fault doesn't mean it wasn't any less of a disappointment.

  • @jumbabrother But non the less, He did that album, Atlantic is off his back now so he can go back to doing things his way. If he had to put out one mediocer dumbed down album so he can get back to doing things the way that made us all respect and admire him, then I have no problem with it and all these other so called Lupe fans shouldn't either. Lupe is still that dude!

  • @Abba02 3/14 songs is pretty bad...

  • i'm so impatient i want to start a petition to make this album release already although i know it may be unnecessarily conceived proposition. food and liquor two, please save me from lost brain cells! guess i'll have to stick to listening to lauryn hill until it drops.

  • @fruitpluslegumes You know Lupe's newest mixtape Friend Of The People is coming out this Thursday.

  • we need this album now Lupe so we can get Drake, Wayne, Bieber, and all the other shit "artists" on the radio today to shut the fuck up. This is an intro and it kicks the shit out of everything you hear on the radio today. This mans a boss

  • lupe once again shows what a great writer he is. amazing and a great clip oh whats to come

  • INTELLEGENCE

  • Lupe fiasco is a poet. he goes with Homer and Shakespeare on my shelf.

    He should publish all of his lyrics in a book of poems.

  • in fairness lasers is nowhere near as good as anything he's ever done, and i never thought i'd say that there was songs of his I don't like. Having said that All Black Everything is unreal.

  • Lupe is clearly not a "sellout". Who would he even be a sellout to? If he's a sellout then so is Jay cuz Jay said he had to dumb it down a little for the record sales. LASERS was a label album that he even said he disliked. And if he "changed" then why are his lyrics still genius? Especially in here

  • @TheCiPher1 i dont think that these people know what a sell out is if they are calling lupe one

  • @blackbird688 clearly not. I just don't understand who he would be a sell out to anyway!? He didn't sell out to the mainstream cuz he clearly is still a lyrical genius. Lupe dumbed it down so he could put out his one bullshit album so idk wtf these people are on

  • @TheCiPher1 who knows. its is sad tho that people dont notice that he only did that album to shut up his lable. now he can get back to his true style

  • @blackbird688 I know. I can't wait til F&L2

  • Almost a year since this came out. And i still keep listening to this verse. Its BEAUTIFUL.

  • Lupe throws up the 3 6's in this video...hmmm...

  • @earl4321 i think hes doin it for a reason for what hes saying, i dont actually think hes repping it

  • Smile at the end is priceless

  • i really hope this is like food and liquor and the cool albums cuz if it is he will be the reason for whats realyly going to happen in dec 12 2012 lol

  • Lasers was ok..his worst album if I must say but I still bump Lupe.

  • damn yo, dis iz gon be good :)

  • Selling out is going against your own will for the pleasure of other right? hes never done that. But he said that hes tried to make his music a lil catchy so people will listen to it, thats definitely respectable

  • food&liquor 2 will be like an atomic bomb to the industry when it drops!

  • comparing the eagle to the eyes on a pyramid oh shit lupe gonna get killed for this album

  • Screw Atlantic this album will be epic.

  • LASERS a CLASSIC? yall never listened to rap before. lasers is hipPOP

  • @usc151155 No one said lasers was a classic,lol.

  • @800mEric Lasers was by far Lupe's worst album. Hopefully in this new album he doesn't sell out to mainstream hip hop and goes back to his own style.

  • @usc151155 lupe has RAP IN THERE!! n LUPE has always been keepin hip hop alive! n lasers can be a classic cuz he talks about the truth!!! not weed alchohal n stuff like that!!

  • @usc151155 Know, it's the honest album!

  • @usc151155 yeah lupe is a legend though he is top 5 best alive but atlantic done fuckedd him over so thts y we ended up with lasers being a let down

  • @usc151155 well it isnt his best but still a classic simply due to that fact that he made it and song of the songs were very personal and its something you dont really get from him...like beautiful laser never forget you coming up and letting go

  • No attempt to get on the radio? That's what I like to hear. I won't call Lupe a sellout, not when we have this to look forward to.

  • @SonOfMana100 Why would you ever call Lupe a sellout? Lasers or not, anyone who has done any research about Lupe or Atlantic Records knows that they had their hands so far up Fiasco's ass that it was either release the album or sit on it for another year making no progress whatsoever in the race to finish his contract with them. Atlantic is happy now from what I can see because the hooks and the beats were exactly what they wanted. Lupe's about to murder everything with Food and Liquor 2.

  • @GuntherUnderneath Oh, there are people calling him a sellout. And yeah, Atlantic raped this album.

  • I used to to look into all that illuminati stuff, i just don't know what to believe. Then i realized weather or not i care about it nothing changes.

  • GTFO people, if yall dont have proof to deny what we think then shut the fuck up. Let us believe in the Illuminati , and dont come calling us conspiracy theorists, let us be motherfuckers. Just like we dont give a fuck what yall have to think about us, yall mind your own and dont give a fuck to what we think. Dont judge us. If we believe then let us believe. Fuck yall sheeple and FUCK THE ILLUMINATI.

  • @DJScrewedUp4Life I don't like the cursing lol, But I agree with what you say, and understand the frustration. They won't even realize it, even after we have a full-fledged police state. They just love to take the government lies, and have their freedoms taking away from them overtime. Truly, sheeples!

  • @800mEric i was mad xD sorry lol ... yeahhh bro!

  • @DJScrewedUp4Life Weather you believe in the illuminati or not, honestly, does anything really change?

  • @DJScrewedUp4Life Everyone has the right to have their own opinion, of course.

    However, I think that the whole Illuminati conspiracy theory stems from a very naive outlook on the world by people who are still hoping that there is only one real "evil" in the world and that everything can be salvaged by just defeating this one big "evil".

    In my opinion, there are so many terrible things done by so many different "evil" people, that the situation is actually far worse and far less salvageable.

  • dude....before this he was underground.....thats why nobdy heard of him..duhh

  • Comment removed

  • @CreamYxxxi Lupe or not, young money is already a shame..don't even deserve to be even mentioned in the same sentence as Lupe LOL

  • Lupe needs to finish the story of The Cool

  • No. Lupe's the best. To Infinity and beyond..

  • @adventedge. Besides if he actually in the music industry don't you think he would know if they real or not if they control the music industry too? Duh!!!

  • @adventedge don't be so naive dude and believe everything the media tells you. I guess you think the twin towers were brought down by terrorists cuz the media said so right

  • Tooooo kole!!!

  • I see lasers as a commercial album controlled by atlantic for radio play because if you've noticed hasnt been on the radio nearly as much until this album came out and barely listen to the radio. But I KNOW F&L II will be out of this world, but probably won't be on the radio as much.

  • crazyy deep,its good u makin up for that lasers stuff

  • OH GOD DAMMIT, does Lupe -really- believe in that illuminati bullshit? seriously?

    no one is sane anymore, people just want conspiracies to believe in

  • @AdventEdge lol i guess David Rockerfeller who's accused of being in a secret society or cabal. That influences world events. Admitted to being a part of one and is proud of it is not sane either. Why won't you do some research before you start saying people just want to believe in conspiracies. A few yrs ago the bilderburg meeting was a conspiracy. Has that shown to be a real meeting Yes. Weather control was said to be a conspiracy has it shown to be real. Yes look at Abu Dhabi.

  • @800mEric

    Because it's true, people would rather embrace the fact that there's some comic-book villian type organization orchestrating all the troubles in the world, instead of there simply being people in general who are greedy and who have bad intentions. As for the Bilderburg and weather control, people want to blow things out of proportion.

  • @AdventEdge How's that blowing thing out of proportions.For years these things were said to be myth ,and crazy conspiracies; But were proven true. You have presidents that even acknowledge the existence of the Illuminati. That's not blowing things out of proportions. It's the truth that's what it is. Look at the Bilderberg group the chairman Étienne Davignon even admitted they helped create the Euro.We just seem to like to ignore that facts, and realize whats going on.

  • @AdventEdge the illuminati is real.. no question

  • @SmallTownUprise

    "no question", it's funny because you probably didn't question it when you first heard of the loony ass conspiracy, so you just herp derped yourself into believing it's true.

  • This cd is gonna make my life and if it was any other artist that statement would be sad but lupe is incredible.

  • The intro to food and liquor 2 is better than the whole of Lasers

  • @92SNM lol yeah except all black everything..that's a classic right there

  • @800mEric What are you talking about All Black Everything is one of the best songs on LASERS out of my head, coming up, and Station Run Radio would prevent it from being a classic if anything

  • @Mystikal22693 What??? The man said this intro is better than everything on lasers. I replied back with saying all black everything is a classic song, and that this intro isn't better than that.

  • @800mEric oh lol my bad about that. Yeah your right is

  • Lasers was so bad. I was disappointed but Lupe taught me to forgive. i forgive him

  • thumbs up if you think this should be the national anthem

  • damn lupe drop this shit already... i need this shit like lindsey lohan needs rehab

  • "the pyramid with the eyes will split the spirits in half" Illumanati anyone?

  • @JaYCole897 if your making an assumption that lupe is illuminati your either

    1.Retarded

    2.Making a Joke

    or

    3.Ignorant as Fuck...because the words the pyramid with the eyes ect...it means the illuminati does'nt bring us all toghether

  • @astashasta1 I should have made it more clear,that's my fault,ahha,i in no way shape or form think Lupe is part of the illumanati. I'm not an idiot. No i meant that he's taking a jab at them,and trying to tell people that they are out to split our united spirit in half.

  • @sega2k sorry for the late reply, in some aspects yes, their aim is to destroy individual thinking, destroy the free mind and spirit of each and every human being into a materialistic "normal" frame of thought from which industrial elites gain maximum profit

  • I would have enjoyed color T-T

  • @GazRockK it wouldnt have been soooo...epic

  • ayo; fuck ATLANTIC.

    FNF UPPP 

  • I my opinon he was able to get some really good lyrics in Lasers too but with a like you said catchy beat... anyway I think Lasers was a super awesome album and I can wait for this one! Keep on bringing meaningfull rap songs to the people, it's a dying art and not many people still do it, Lupe and T.I perhaps? Keep up the good work!

  • The Mayans predicted the world would be over in 2012, well if F&L2's released next year, we'll know their reasoning. This world can't handle Lupe

  • just heard food n liqr 2 is droppin sometime at the end of this year..like decemeber. lasers was delayed for so long...but its comin and i cant wait!

  • @freshprince58 lasers dropped already

    

  • @dusumpn i know..

  • @freshprince58 haha you were talking bout F&L II when you said "but its comin and i cant wait!"

    (: ayo, i cant wait either. Food & Liquor was fucking AMAZING. the beats were DOPE, the lyrics were INSPIRATIONAL & HOT. we gotta get back to that shit. fuck all this Young Money bullshit.

  • @Daftendirektour i know right..shit i still bump F and L everyday in my car..

  • Thumbs up if u think Lupe has(i say is) to go down as the Most Lyrical M.cee of our time...

  • "double-headed voices of the eagle on the staff, the pyramid with the eyes will split the spirits in half" oh my god! i want this album! fuck the illuminati! i believe in the Fiasco!!

  • I hope Scream is on F&L2

  • @babycarrot21 wtf??? why the heck would scream be on f&l 2???

  • @800mEric Idk im just saying I hope it is because I like that song.

  • The best news from Food and Liquor 2 is that Atlantic can't touch this one and that he is bringing back The Cool, The Streets, The Game, and Michael Young History. I can't wait; I have been waiting for Lupe's actual album to come out, because Lasers was Atlantic's album.

  • now that is fucking dope.

  • An All-Time Great who else agress

  • He went out on illuminati again, he pulled the 666's to the rhymes he said as well..

    So dope to see fans like lupe for who he is not just for his music.

    L(A)S E R S

  • Is this going to be with Atlantic Records again? 'Cause they really fucked up Laser

  • @siriuslynow it is, but he said they have 0% input in this since they put him through so much crap with LASERS.

  • @siriuslynow yea but they'll have no say in it

  • I was the 100th like xD

  • lasers was more like preparation for the masterpiece I KNOW this will be.

  • cant WAIT.

    FnL II will be what lasers shoulda been.

  • "...That's why my sounds and sermons are so full of wrath,

    Baptize your mind let your brain take a bath"

    DAMN! & this is just the intro

    I can't wait for Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album to drop!!!

  • the pyramid with the eyes will split the spirits in half- illuminati...

  • F&L II will probably be better than Lasers. Anyone know the release date?

  • @chicagoo17 he already said it's has a different sound then lasers and he just told mtv..on his next album there is no attempt to get on the radio expect maybe once. so expect a superstar type song..that gonna be lyrical but kinda catchy.then he said the beats are way harder like on go to sleep and it's gonna be some really hard ass songs..can't w8 to hear this album

  • @800mEric I cant wait either. Did he say when it'll be released? 2012?

  • @800mEric Aw man i'm glad to hear that, lasers was good but not as good as F&l 1 and The Cool

  • @800mEric yo if he puts beats on there similar to go to sleep it may be the best ever..that's all he's missing is a good beat..ppl will eventually catch on..at least i hope

  • @800mEric Will Go to sleep be on FNL 2?

  • @WuKicks23 as far as i know go to sleep will be on fnl 2...and the songs that are included will sound similar to go to sleep..that are a little bit hardcore like it with lots of metaphors,similes,double entendre,and lots of world play..so things are looking good so far

  • @chicagoo17 he said he hopes to have it release towards the end of this year like in december...he said though before it's released his mixtape fried of the people will be released before it :-) can't wait

  • @chicagoo17 I heard December, my dude

  • @chicagoo17 can i ask you a serious question. do you think lasers was lupes best work?

  • @dadirtydago of course not like a year before it dropped i thought it was going to be and i thought it would be one of th bes albums ever, but obviously Atlantic disappointed us. Still a decent album, but its his worst of the 3 albums. Dont know what I expect from F&L II, but it will most likely be better than Lasers

  • Fuck Atlantic Records for making an artist like this stoop down to the level of Soulja Boy.

  • @Yellownealy your a moron if your comparing any song on Lasers to any other Soulja Boy song.

  • @xLive2PKx Lupe can do much better. With the exception of like 3 songs, all I heard was club and radio music. They did to Lupe what they did to B.o.B. I am not happy and if you think this is acceptable from Lupe, then maybe you need to listen to another artist.

  • LASERS it out. I'm happy.

    Food & Liquor II is coming out later. I'm fucking happy as shit.

  • Food & Liquor II is going to be the shit.

  • Lupe will make THEM believers...FNF...UP!

  • 81 LIKES MADE BY ME

  • @SuperboyCasanova thanks for the 2 cents, I know this and my point was they made show goes on his first single, never said they didnt pick other singles also for him

  • FOOD & LIQUOR II IS WHAT THE FANS WANT ATLANTIC!!! GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES AND STAY AT THIS MAN'S MUSIC

  • @dellrizlonian From my understandings they picked his first single, which was the show goes on and they never made him do the song, they only PICKED which one would be the first single.

  • @johncp1989 They picked the singles plus they sent already done songs and just asked him to do the verses. The last song on the CD feat. John Legend, Lupe only did his verses, he had nothing to do with the creation of the rest of it

  • Hope there is no input by his label or A&Rs that made lasers is garbage

    F&L2 needs to be him and soundtrakk the whole way through

  • WOW haha lupe ur too much

    waitin for lasers, nut now so excited for fnl2

  • THEE BEST MAN SMH

  • cant wait for FNL to drop

  • @diamondandcharles FNL 2 will have nas and damien marley lupe said in PunchBowl TV interview :)

  • @800mEric What?

    WANT NAOOOO.

  • @Pygmahia5 Are you kidding me? The show goes on has probably the most beautiful MEANINGFUL lyrics youll ever see in hip hop. I doubt ANY mainstream rapper has the guts to rap that positive nowadays and also doubt any mainstream rapper can be capable of that kind of skill , there will be a time in the future when youll understand why he would do a song like that

  • @johncp1989 Because Atlantic told him to do the song or the album wasn't getting released. That's why he did it. Out of the original track list for Lasers, 4 songs made it to the released version.

  • Wow I love this. The reason why Lupe is my favorite rapper.

  • Preach my brotha , preach

  • to everybody that wants to know why he's so dope it's like he said:

    2 man big pun, a one man slaughterhouse, a 2 album jay-z, a 1 nigga wu tang, younger hungry mos def a concsious rappin lil wayne.... a.k.a the best of the best

  • @lilrocky6 i dont get y he said dat can u explain

  • @diamondandcharles basically he's saying whoever is the best he's on or even beyond their level and in a league of his own

  • The world is gonna have mature about 10-15 years to understand this one verse im sorry but lupe is fucking lightyears ahead of us lupe for US leader

  • If Lupe keeps rapping like this F&L 2 is gonna take another 4 years to be released. You see what Atlantic did to his ass with Lasers.

  • "Babtize yo mind let yo brain take a bath" Cheeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz!

  • @o0CASHBOY0o is llike gettin brain washed by mans religion not gods

  • Oh come on Lu, now I can't wait for Lasers and F&L2

  • If you didn't know this is the best rapper alive, a true lyricist.

  • @sega2k to avoid too long of a rant, I'll just give you one word. Yes

  • @sega2k I think hes adressing the whole corrupt message sent through the media whether it be music, news, etc by the illuminati and the destruction of the human spirit by the spread of lies and the whole "american dream" (infatuation with materialistic things and money) while disregarding the soul and the real aspects of life.

    wow that was a verrry long rant, hah hope that answers your question.

  • "be a slave at first or free at last" new life modo

  • @spice3000 explain that ??

  • @tubetime3 basically its like the modo "if you work like a slave you will eat like a king" work hard for what you want and you will be free

  • This is why I hated The Show Goes On - because I know what he's capable of.

  • @afw8g well u still can't lie tsgo has a great uplifting message...

  • @800mEric The song's not in great depth but inspiration is inspiration. The song has a positive message like every other song he has created. I'm with you my man.

  • @afw8g the lyrics on show goes on was good though everything else was just mainstream

  • @afw8g Everything he says has a message no matter what flow is chosen

    I know what you're saying, you like this style that he does which is why he's doing Food and Liquor II and also L.A.S.E.R.S. which has an equally moving message though not as deep or twisted

  • @afw8g Every rapper needs to release a poppy sounding song nowadays so it will get some play on the radio and "hip hop fans" will wanna buy their cd

  • @afw8g the show goes on is kinda like superstar...a more mainstream type of song with a catch chorus but an actual pretty deep message too that a lot of people dont really listen too...the show goes on is not a fake song or dumbed down or anything its still inspirational but sure its not all that hes capable of

  • @afw8g He said he didn't even write that song... The industry made him do that song
