[MercWithTheMouth1]

Tap the world Lupe Tap the shit out of it and keep it coming bro we need something to listen to while we change this fcked up world

[harrules1]

@CardiacKatz Its a shame the scene has come to this. At least we have Lupe and co. Can't wait for F&L2

[bfbc2win]

@bqureshi21 How do you know what a dead mans opinion would be?

[pdbqHD]

It's like poetry.

[narusku4]

@pdbqHD Correction. It IS poetry. ;)

[harrules1]

that grim reaper verse OMFG just beautiful

[CardiacKatz]

@harrules1 i know i fuckin love it so much, that verse is probably the equivalent of most rappers albums nowadays lmfao

[hrap93]

food & liquor !!! bestessss album ever!

[TheTurkgamer]

@hrap93 its a mixtape

[hrap93]

@TheTurkgamer no bro,,, it's in the Album!!

[HoodSta93]

[Greenerapple7]

woohooo!!! gonna see the man himself at tomorrow's BDO!

[Tim073]

I had a ghetto boy bop, a Jay-Z boycott

'Cause he said that he never prayed to God, he prayed to Gotti

I'm thinkin Godly, God guard me from the ungodly

[URFAV3BANDSUX]

i know that part's hella good

[franciso7]

[n1smo300zxtt]

my hero man

much love for this man

[djstreet326]

actually bro hes not saying obama. hes saying: osama and no bombing them.

[OneYoungHitch]

I love dis shit

[phattown213]

2:48 - 3:33 is tight

"all the world's ills, sittin on chrome 24 inch wheels - like that!"

[AznPinoyDude301]

damn nice beginning haha

this song is crazy :O

[procra5tinat0r]

Lupe said that he was fed up with the recording industry and how it just wears you down. It seems he is tired with the politics of business and the industry. Listening to Superstar and Hurt Me Soul after hearing this news I wasn't that suprised anymore

[procra5tinat0r]

Definitely my favorite lupe song. The lyrics in this song are just amazingly mind boggling.

I hope he changes his mind about retiring. He can pave the way for a better future in hip-hop

[TruthIsWatISeek]

lol its astaghfurallah and i herd it!!! dam

[mocwanksta]

one of chi town's finest..

[bbhandler]

he is officially my favorite now but dmn i never heard someone sound so much like nas.. your right

[LZATL1396]

I dont think ive EVER heard anyone sound so much like nas.

[redsoxfan591]

Really? imo The Game sounds more like Nas then anyone. Listen to Letter To The King with Nas and The Game, they sound exactly the same.

[LZATL1396]

Well like, if you looked at the lyrics from this and you didn't know it was a Lupe song, you might think it would be a Nas song. Also, is Lupe really quitting? And why?

[redsoxfan591]

I get what your saying, but Lupes lyrics are a but more complex than anyone else. And Lupe is done after his TRIPLE album he is making. But I am pretty sure he is making a group with Kanye Pharrel and himself called CRS (Child Rebel Soldier).

[troysson81]

So we can expect a new album from him soon?

[christianxxxnam]

gosh, the more i listen to lupe the better he gets.

[theshadowboy607]

kool

[Zimkhita12]

ALL HAIL LU!

[westside159]

IM Apart of the JESUS CHRIST TEAM AND LUPE IS NICE ON THE MIC . ONE OF MY FAVS ...

[amara60429]

When is Bishop G coming out with a album?

[freedomfighta]

ahhhhhh....music with meaning! :D

[YaBoyMartin]

[yogotti09]

Intruder Alert...He Say She Say

[xxxxXSoldierXxxxx]

[vaanisch]

[DAtNizzaYOuKnOw]

I luv this song,it has so much truth in it

[lucini161]

Lupe what talented guy i hope u contuine to bless the people with your voice and talent truly one of the best rapper unique and style and class your smile is like gold with no teeth flying on clouds beyond this world bless with genius that few people can understand u are a teacher keep teaching

[blah121692]

[hoodyman88]

Outwest Fresh chicago what down i remember catching water wit the pots

[kanyewest235]

hell ya man wtf so great bout wanye Lupe Fiasco is the 1 with strong word wanye aint not even close to Lupe Fiasco

[pityesz339]

the best

[Zulfiqar32]

if someone were to ask me what's my fav hiphop track of all time, this song would definetly be in contention!

[Trackstar159]

raps lik a young az

[yougotnashed]

no. he raps like lupe fiasco.

[Trackstar159]

lik i said he raps lik a yung az. u ever thought az could b one of his influences? try listenin 2 more than 1 artist n u will c similarities.

[Shadowlooker12]

I've seen very few similarities and yes hen does sound like a few other artist at times,but if "raps like a young ass is an insult" them too bad you don't know much.

[Trackstar159]

all i said that he raps lik another artist. mayb i should compare him 2 wayne next time. i wonder how u would take it

[Shadowlooker12]

It really wouldn't matter to me,he doesn't sound like Wayne and unlike the majority of those here on Youtube I'm not ignorant or argumentative so if you were to do so it wouldn't spark anything but a "eh,and a next subject".

[Trackstar159]

only if more people act lik u on utube. it would b alot better.

[KtotheSallday]

az's a fuckin rapper dumbfuckk

[Shadowlooker12]

First of all I know that,second of all I neglected to think about that before I put a text comment and third of all,getting your ego big over the net is useless,if your going to insult someone next time make sure it's in person,now go some where and be a useless.

[KtotheSallday]

chillout lolz

[40MuthaFuckinDollaz]

he said young az- az is a rapper

[Blackspade313]

He killed dis one!!!!

[djcritikalmusik]

I can't believe they took the other video down. I'm so fricken mad. The other video was the shittt

[bighuc]

lupe on another planet,i could be wrong,but,i swear i see a nas hater on this page.crazy part is main man is a hip hop head,and he said nas is overrated.i usually get that from rap fans.WOW...hiphop turned on nasir.

[bympy]

STOP TALKING ABOUT NAS WHY IS HE SO OVERRATED?! SO MANY underground mc's who spit much hotter shit then nas example, sean price, cagbe, jedi mind tricks, canibus, el-p, mr.lif SO MANY MORE hop off the nuts

[tupacbigi]

your wack if you think nas is overated hes in everybodys top 5 east & west

[hiphoprebirthletsgo]

And he deserves it, maybe once Lupe goes on further he will get to that position, but don't Discredit Nas, lupe doesn't...

[CipherQ]

...I think you've just proved bympy's point

[quickoats3]

one reason: illmatic...deal with it lol

Nas is easily one of the greatest

[blah121692]

u actually think canibus is better than nas?

[CriminalChief]

Guess no one caught on to what he said at the start of the track lol. Very nice song, Lupe continues to produce excellent music.

[VillageIdiotx]

What'd he say at the beginning?

[nasir89ah]

he said Astigfirallah...it means God forbids. I probably spelled it incorrect but that is what it means.

[hahahakim9890]

actually it means god forgive me

[nasir89ah]

thanks

[95MrConsto]

damn lupe is insanly nice.......fnf^..............o­ne of the top 3 longest songs he made....this is nice

[vincenteper01]

Bro nas is one of the people that paved the way for lupe so for you to say he sucks is dissin hip-hop and lupe.... lupe is one of the best but without nas i dont know if lupe would be who he was.... no one in hip-hop.. as in real hip-hop

[YoungTiskMuzic]

very good song

[electeropop1]

Nas sucks lupe is way better!! I hate hard core rap, that's why i listen to lupe

[Certifyde444]

there both great

[jovipplz]

Lupe is insanely gud but Nas is his teacher and the reason lupe started rapping in da first place!

[electeropop1]

never nas sucks and he can't rap

[quickoats3]

lupe based his album structure on It Was Written lol

[electeropop1]

ok and you commented on what i wrote because......

[QuickOats]

...i wanted to...?

[joisready]

the fact that u lable nas as a hard core rapper shows that u know very little about hip-hop nas is the originator of complex rap not hardcore he talks about political issues from an urban prespective

[narukid29]

...are u joking? or something?...

[YaBoyMartin]

omfg lupe fiasco has sex for money??

[gmik3]

naw jackazz -_-

[stephanweir]

one of the best lupe songs out there...second only to "put you on game"

[FF10code]

came out in 2006ish on Food and Liquor haha

[scary05]

cant believe lupe is retiring his last albu is lupEND

lupe da shit

[jayarhess]

rumor has it that lupEND might be 3 albums

[ElBrillante4]

rumor? thats the truth! he said it himself

[sgzdsghdshdszh]

thanks a lot man

[natethegreat8]

the coolest, the die, fighters

[sgzdsghdshdszh]

For realz this song has cemented Lupe Fiasco in my mind as a decent rapper.

Someone tell me other similar songs by Lupe (beside Daydreamin' and Hip-Hop Saved My Life).

[topmcat]

if you like his string of lyrics make sure you listen to "lu myself" it shows his talent when it comes to word usage.

[FF10code]

Also check "Put you on game"

Personally my favorite song by him.

[Keemac5]

man all the stuff i witnessed in my life was not to appealing. So i had to switch my style up and i made it anything is possible everybody was created equal. And on some realness i would sacrifice myself to my last breath for all of u :) Nothing but love

[N1GWANNNAC1G]

i like his line about jay-z being devil worshipper

[Dnell924]

This is a real ass song about the worlds problems. That we as ppl can relate to and the problems that ppl have that we hear about.have you ever just seen something so sad it just messed with your head and hurt the shit out of your soul

[TeddyBearMann]

y cant all hip hop be like this.

teach the inner city kids something good.

other rappers follow suit or quit.PERIOD!!!

[ralfiroc]

song is hot but everyone KNOWS KANYE WEST THE BEST ARTIST NOT ONLY OUT RIGHT NOW BUT THE ARTIST OF THE CENTURY...

[00thecool00]

this one of my favorite lupe songs.this song is deep.i cant picture lil wayne,yung joc and alot of other rappers like that making a song like this.

[boredness6789]

i want him to make a music video for this song.

[franciso7]

dont think thats its gonna happen...the song is from his first album

[KooLxAiDxLoVa]

good shit lupe

clean beat

nice flow

good shit

[jcrazo7]

damn ill song

[sacrofice]

Best rapper right now, in my opinion

[Jerkyboy2169]

immortal tech neeeds to come out with a decent album before he can even step in.. I would put immortal techn near AZ lol

[ckDEEWEEZYck]

Immortal Technique is the king of Political Rap, Nas is the prophet, Pac is the Poet, Biggie is the wickedest, Rakim is the God.

[A1mafia]

nice

[Jerkyboy2169]

Immortal Tech is good but is NO NAS. NO TUPAC or NO BIGGIE NO RAKIM.. FUKING MORONS

[mizzsouthafrica]

ahh lupe i lv u!!

lyrics r 2 dope

[jaysandman]

uh yea he is, he just did a song with that guy who looks like 50 cent

[skabababa]

lol

[lox786]

"israeli occupation, islamic martyrdom...precise" cant get realer than that

[Bo6us]

fair nuff

[lalalandcuteness]

this guy is a livin lyrical genius

[FF10code]

Lupe is the best alive.

FNF Up!

[JDballin1]

nas is good but he's nothin to immortal technique dude no if ands or buts

[Jerkyboy2169]

immortal tech will never touch nas..

[Bo6us]

nas is commercial washed. plain and simple.

immortal technique is the next big thing. if he isnt as gud hes better than 2pac.

[jaysandman]

never be good as pac, though he duz work, but i completely agree bout nas

[Jerkyboy2169]

Well Bo6us douche bag, nas is so washed up, that illmatic still sells 3,000 copies a week.... Yea so washed up

[Bo6us]

3,000 copies..ha gimme a link and proof that shows this. Dont throw fake facts at me right after you insult someone, when u have nuthin to bak u up behind it.

and seeing as how many times u commented this vid..seriously..get off lupe's cock, faggot

[Jerkyboy2169]

Yea well since your mom still wipes your ass from the info on you. you listen to garbage hip hop and reprensent underground cuz you aint got any friends. Dont hate on great hip hop just because everyone likes it. Mr INDIE HIP HOP. get the fuck out of here your 15 years old. Respect old and new hip hop you punk bitch

[Jerkyboy2169]

Search the facts mr hip hop

[Bo6us]

i said gimme a link..can u read??

im not chasing after a ghost.

[Jerkyboy2169]

Yea it seems like a lot of people agree with you.. considering you keep getting thumb downs.. go listen to vanilla ice

[deuce22192]

i fell in love with lupe after hearing the 3rd verse to this

the greatest thing to happen to hip hop in a long time is this guy right here

[Emman92]

"my mom cant feed me...my boyfriend beats me...i have sex for money...the hood dont love me..and i have noo place to gooo.." this song is sooooo tight!!

[Ever1221]

guys listen to the song 'the cool' its so nice...lupe is by far best rapper alive.

[Dsenuik]

nas is still the best,but lupes up there

[Nepto0n]

what album is this song from?

[prad0x]

the album's called: food & liquor

peace

[fisch519]

Food and Liquor.

[rajcool13]

food and liquor

[KJSmallz]

technique is incredible!!! lupe and technique are the best rappers alive even though they are so diffrent.

[Stendec3]

lupe's the 3rd comin of rakim..2nd comin of nas

peace

[Scrubmasta]

Great hip hop, RIP to the greatest'

Shouldn't put ranks on the untouchables..

[jroc27817]

Lupe killed this shit......

[olbi87]

seriously, biggie wasn't that good, i love it when u call me big popa? i mean comon........

Lupe is dope, Technique is dope, Loop troop is dope, we have alot of dope rappers, but Biggie? i never saw the grace in the Notorious BIG.

[wallace009]

you better check yoself before you wreck yoself lol

biggie is def. up there big poppa is not his only song even though its a classic. Listen to ready to die, story to tell, juicy..etc

[Crusafriedchiken]

lol your dumb, listen to 10 crack commandments. what wallace said, big poppa wasnt his only song. it was just a single. u wanna find someone to complain about, talk about soulja boy LOL, biggy is an o.g fool.

[2YungPyro7]

i agree wit u on dat big wasnt all dat he was jus a basic ny rapper and pac was up there bcuz i dont remember 1nce realli hearin biggie say sumthin dat was deep but pac spoke sum real shit...thas y we need more rappers like lupe bcuz he keep tha deep shit alive

[DaSilentG]

1. Nas

2. Jay Z

3. Rakim

4. Biggie

5. Lupe/Eminem

[saxamafone07]

nas....really aginst lupe yea right lupe is to real not to say nas aint but lupe got mind blowing lyrics u cant understand everything the first time you hear a lupe song you got listen again and again you hear something new each time and rakim is the greatest EVER!!!

[DZisGr8]

I was in the dark about lupe until i heard this song. He breaks it down so well. Props.

[ballingangsta4]

you reffer to slick rick before 2pac? really?

[khoury1600]

what's up. i had to go back a year to figure out what you responded too. i am 38 so my view of rap, hip hop, (whatever is trendy nowadays) goes back to before 1990. so my next point. "Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts"- Paul Simon i know in 10 years a bunch of kids will be saying some new 20something rapper is the greatest ever and folks who like Jay-Z, Wayne, 2Pac, will be going crazy, cause they can't understand why. Public Enemy, De la Soul and Goodie Mob influenced me.

[LupeF0rLife14]

All i hear on the web is Lupe Lupe Lupe. When is he gonna get fully noticed? Jesus it's eating me alive clearly he's the TRUE best rapper alive. I mean sure wayne can spit a few clever words out but i mean is that what rap is? Hell no, bitch. This is. Lupe Fucking fiasco is rap. No one in the game raps like him. Nas? Hell no. He can take his sad ass and go hide in a closet. It's Lupe. Lupe is fucking rap. Hands down. Prove me wrong.

[zakattack423]

OK, how many songs does Lupe Fiasco have compared to Nas? Nas can make so many good songs, and never get old same with Lupe but he has a lot less songs...also Nas has so many songs where he just tells one whole long story..Lupe has some too, just not as much. Also LUPE LOOKS UP TO NAS not Nas looks up to Lupe, and Lupe's cd's haven't been considered the best CD ever...you are just a Lupe fanboy. Lupe is great, but there are just so many out there...you just can't say that he is the besthandsdown

[rondel89]

i agree with you nas is the 2nd greatest ever and lupe really looks up to him. but if the dropped a cd on the same day ill get lupe at this time. and lupe is the only young rapper nas says he listens to. to me lupe if fifth greatest ever. give me a pac,cube,ll, cd that is better than lupes and not what people consider but is truly better.

1.jigga

2.nas

3-4(tie). biggie and eminem

5.lupe

[zakattack423]

jay z is terrible now..you really can't say he is that great...I think there is no number 1 anyways but he isn't close. I am feeling like starting to put him in the stupid mainstream rappers like Lil Wayne...but mine would have to go in no order

Nas, Lupe, Pac, KRS 1, Rakim

[rondel89]

your comment is truly great up until you mentioned nas. nas dont make sad songs his last album was for blacks because history was gonna be made. OBAMA. listen to hip hop is dead. lupe is great but he has not made a cd better that it was written and not to mention illmatic. nas wrote most of illmatic at 17.listen to lil wayne or bow wow at 17 not even close. lupe is best now but not alive.

[M3agic]

Thing is, hip hop is dead is about how hip hop cannot die... people are just stupid... in my opinion, if the production is better it would be a classic.

[rondel89]

but thats nas his productions over the yars have been sub-par just like lupe's, he dont care about the beat he wants you to listen to the words.

[M3agic]

Yup.

I only say that because more people would have listened to his shit if the production was dope like it was in the days of Illmatic and It was Written...

Influence over the people is a huge part when judging an album... to me, anyway(which is the only reason Pac may make my top 10).

[fireblast590]

I have to disagree with you there, Lupe is a fucking great rapper, I only listen to people who are good with Lyrics, but NaS is a beast lyric wise. I see your name is "Lupeforlife" So i guess you could not really go listen to a NaS song. When you have a open time, go listen to a Nas song like "One mic", "Hero", "Street dreams" and "Sly fox"

[BeastialPride]

in Islam, you don't need to cover everything but your eyes; it tells the women to basically not be seductive as men cannot control themselves, so if anything it is degrading men :P

[ballingangsta4]

i think it is so funny that lupe hates music that digrades women and the word bitch ect. but he is muslim and they dont even let women show more that there eyes and they have as many wives as they want.

[VT13]

but just because he's muslim doesn't mean he wants his wife to be unrevealing. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he has only one girl, the one that was in the "I Gotcha" video

[ballingangsta4]

im not talking about him personally just his religion

[VT13]

oh, well maybe his religion is contridicting everything he stands for, idk.

[khoury1600]

what's wrong with hating music that degrades women. i would hate music that degrades men, LOL. anyways, Turkey is a secular, democratic muslim/Islamic nation. women don't have to cover up, its their choice. they are progressive. ALL religions have SOME extremes, but its not good to generalize. Some GOVERNMENTS are extreme in how their laws effect their people. Lupe is ENLIGHTENED and i like people like that regardless of their religion.

[brwnblakpower6]

lol j/p i dont know maybe zap music

[jamann111]

who made beat?

[brwnblakpower6]

cash money recerds........

[fireblast590]

The best People with great lyrics.

NaS.

Tupac.

Lupe Fiasco.

Kanye West.

Andre 3000.

This is my list of people who have GREAT lyrics too me... They might be more.. but that's why i listen too.

[popopop824]

for real , love all those guys
