Lupe Fiasco - State Run Radio Ft. Matt Mahaffey

[DreDaDon16]

This beat/ hook is fucking terrible. Lupe needs to go back to the cool type shit

[KillTheIlluminati24]

This album was awesome compared to all the other albums that came out but decent compared to Lupe's other albums. This thing Lupe is trying to do it gain publicity though wacky beats if you heard his new mixtape. He is going to increase his fan base and then make better rap!

[Hustler205]

definitely one of the top active artists right now.

[TheRandommes]

Realistic rappers are the knew Legends, lil wayne, and birdman step down its time for Lupe and Lasers!

[zipper159159]

13 people tripped

[lupENDboy]

Lupe Fiasco fans are so blind.

So misguided.

I used to think Lupe Fiasco had a decent fan base, but now, I mean like damn.

[WooahSlowDownThere]

@lupENDboy dude, better a fan that a hater. Go troll somewhere else.

I mean, no offense, but bashing us apparently crazy fans right on a Lupe video is not smart, even for a troll.

[doubledutch6rudder]

@lupENDboy lol this is Youtube

[kyoukan102]

Guys, stop being radio conformists! You should be listening to whatever Lupe tells you, not whatever the radio plays.

[kcsccrew42]

@kyoukan102 we are listening to lupe. go post that to a lil whine video

[tennisroddickstar]

if sopa was here he would kick this video in the ass

[zipper159159]

@tennisroddickstar so very very true man

[keithjaxonnn]

this is the best album ever. every single song is so good!

[MontenegrinIcon]

I see the play on the theme of the song in the description box...smooth move...besides which...this album was the shit...If this is "limited" Lupe, I'm dying to see what he'll put out when he's free to let his mind flow and put out what HE wants..

[Knightwizard777]

I actually had a Socratic Seminar over this and i like this song

[MrLeopoldas1]

Fuck those suckers who say they went from Lupe to lil wayne and drake i went from lil wayne and drake to Lupe !!!

[ryanmxn]

If everyone stopped listening to what the media says the world would be a much better place.

[MarcusRenewed]

@ryanmxn No. Well, yea, but only a little bit. What really needs to happen is media needs to change. Media is too easily controlled. Real media needs to grow. It is up to the population to help it do that. Let us start real media. Listen to those that speak against it and start your own movement against it. Let us break media as it is, bring the real world into it.

[OctopusMagnetism]

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND DEMAND THEM AS LOUD AS YOU CAN!!!!!!! wake the fuck up now! now! now!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UnfixedLIGER]

what makes lupe fans better then other rap fans is the fact that we can carry out a respectful conversation,

[GreatestOfAllTime5]

@UnfixedLIGER

Many hip hop fans can carry on intellgent conversations. Your high school class that doesn't know kendrick lamar exists doesn't represent every hip hop fan.

[idiotsavant8]

Lasers isn't about the music its about the message. Sadly only 5% of listeners understand this.

[amestrianalchemist90]

@idiotsavant8 Why can I only like this comment once?

[GreatestOfAllTime5]

@idiotsavant8

The music is terrible though, so why would you force yourself to listen to a mediocre product?

[TheMalpeliKid]

fucking tuneeee

[THENOTORlOUSDRO]

immortal technique and lupe.

[atomekchris]

TYPE IN

"ATOMEKRIZ RAPPING "

YOU WON'T REGRET IN DOING SO!!!

[cuttinitup510]

@CurleeSwagProduction then why do people say RIP 2pac??

[Steve44489]

I don't get how people say that lil wayne is better then lupe.

[105church]

OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

[raven13015]

hey bro you wrote "Lupe Fiasco - State Run Radio Ft. Matt Mahaffey " over again and over again

[00davisc]

@ItOffishul - How can you say about the concept of the song is good and then say the chorus is bad?!?! The chorus is mocking radio stations hense "OVER AGAIN & OVER AGAIN" so its not meant to be catchy and the only bit of the song you remember like the hits you hear on the radio that Lupe is rapping about. The whole song is a message including the chorus. All round great song whilst your comment is an all round contradiction!

[harrules1]

Isn't this talking about Atlantic records as the State Run Radio Station?

Especially when he taks about what a number 1 hit is

[greyez7]

This WHOLE album was amazing!!!!! It's all stuff that's true

Lupe is one of my two fave rappers!!!

[ItOffishul]

the concept of this is great and i love lupe and this album but the chorus of this song is just so bad hhaha oh well

[Delfiffer2]

great album, all you haters saying this album sucked can go fuck yourself

[jasonC9595]

This is great. Until recently, I thought Atmosphere was one of the few good post-millenium rappers. Rap with substance. ..Although the beats COULD be better.

[anteojitus]

very good, underrated

[MorgieCSA45]

HAS SO MUCH MEANING BEHIND IT!!! GO LUPEE!

[MrBratboy98]

lol



[BellaRizo9]

I LOVE THIS SONG AND I DETICATED TO MY 4 YEAROLD COUSIN

[LILHAZY86]

OVER AGAIN AND OVER AGAIN AND OVER AGAIN AND OVER AGAIN!!!! EVERYBODY SING ALONG COME ON..... STATE RUN RADIO STATE RUN RADIO STATE RUN RADIO.........

[BlindAmbition39]

I'm so glad lupe didn't sell out playing stupid songs on the radio. He still has great messages in all of his songs. Him and J.cole are gonna change mainstream to the underground...that's when we rise!

[nosaintiger12]

atlantic took a great song and ruined it with this chorus, way too repititive

[adammbuchanan]

Whats up everyone. SO recently, I took my drum kit, went outside, and filmed a drum cover to this song. I'm still putting it all together but if you want to take a first look, here is some footage from the shoot. Enjoy.

/watch?v=wqeTbierT1s

[lasttruehiphopfan]

everyone search that kid sleepy conscious and his new track "No Apologies" that shit hot as hell his new mixtape insomnia is gonna be crazy ill!

[SuperAanish]

Ahh Lupe Fiasco. Defiantly the best rapper. He doesn't rap about pointless things like sex, girls, drugs or shit like that. His lyrics actually have meaning, it makes people aware of the horrible things happening in the world, like his song Little Weapon. Good music is always not on the radio.

[12386james]

its a great song but i dont like his beats that mutch

[MrMan6577]

Whats up with him saying, "we ain't got the truth, but we got a remix?"

[juanbangcock24]

@MrMan6577 he was saying it in the governments point of view. not his. thats why after he said that he said.: different is never good (talking about the remix[lies] isnt good) good is only what we pick( meaning that truth is only what lasers pick)

[Chrome420inRimsTurbo]

Like this if you're tired of Corporate Music!

They just screw up good music---

Over Again and over Again and over Again.....

[kingfanuiel]

This shit is some real talk man im feeling this one

[CurleeSwagProduction]

When Lupe dies people will not say R.I.P because legends never die.

[wilsonmarket]

@CurleeSwagProduction im a legend cause i started a food fight at my school. im very pleased to find out i wont die

[frezzingaces]

@CurleeSwagProduction Hey don't even joke about that man. I'd have to commit suicide.

[iGotBanks69]

This album was amazing and if this is his worst work then he must be the best rapper alive. But honestly compared to Food & Liquor, this album......i cant even say....words cannot describe.

[CoastCoolKid]

what he say bout wayne ?

[runethistown]

for all you bums that think this is a bad album just because lupe doesn't talk about girls money and all the pointless shit that people call rap these days.. you obiviously don't know what rap is.. lupe talks about real shit that matters.

[fistofthefearless]

@runethistown ppl say this is a bad album cuz Food n Liquor was like the Illmatic of this generation..this is like the Relapse of his career lol...to the standards of alot of other rappers this is good but not Lupe good..read upon it

[mawuvipaul]

@runethistown AMEN

[zCak3x]

@runethistown i like money....and girls xD

[johnedwarddowney]

@runethistown I don't hate "Lasers" because Lupe Fiasco doesn't talk about material goods. I hate "Lasers" because it sucks.

[nitewish51]

@johnedwarddowney Then you don't know real music

[johnedwarddowney]

@nitewish51 Actually, yes--I enjoy music that doesn't really exist. That is the only possible explanation for why I don't like "Lasers". It certainly isn't because most of the songs share the same structure, Lupe sounds tired and uninspired, and most of the beats are terrible. No, it must be because I enjoy fake music.

[MorgieCSA45]

@johnedwarddowney for your information, his record label made him sound certin ways at times to make it sell. That is why it took longer to release songs!

[B11man15]

@runethistown this was a great album i really enjoyed it when i borrowed it from a friend and i heard it and the next day i went i ended up buying it because its a very unique album idk what these lil kids r talkin about

[FCastillo000]

@runethistown it's good. but it doesn't compare to his first two albums.

this album was more mainstream and he is getting closer to

rapping about those things you said. for example, the song

"out of my head" is about girls and has a very pop sound for the radio.

[o0CASHBOY0o]

@FCastillo000 lupe will never change. He only did that because his stupid ass record label forced him too. And besides, Lupe said himself that every one of his albums has to have 1 song dedicated to the ladies.

[nrabai]

@runethistown i understand where ur coming from but this is nowhere near what lupe can do, his old shit is a million times better than lasers. but i think he's getting back on track with his latest mix tape fotp. also, we gotta remember lasers was below average quality because of his label, he was contemplating fuckin suicide cuz of it! atlantic wanted something radio friendly when lupe aint about that. anyways, lupe is god no matter what for me, cuz he's already proven himself a long time ago

[GreatestOfAllTime5]

@runethistown

This is one of the worst comments I've ever seen on youtube. People hate the album cuz it's filled with generic and terrible euro trash beats and Lupe sounds terrible over them rapping some faux rebellion bullshit. You obviously don't listen to much hip hop if you think all hip hop is about girls and money, gtfo. People don't like this album cuz it sucks, there's no other reason.

[CMLiedtke]

@runethistown That's not why they think it's a bad album...

[clandestinecoherence]

lupe better take the money he made from this album, form his own label, and make some fucking crazy music.

[hi9735]

idc this album is still good!

[evantstowers]

This song is great. Even the hook is just mocking the fact that he needs a hook. It is annoying as hell though, lol.

[Lucincorporated]

Turn the radio off and you will fid real music..

SUPPORT UNDERGROUND MUSIC....check ut my page to see and up and coming artist getting good feedback so far....great message, no mainstream BS...leave feed back please.....Thank you and Peace

[TheWhiteLupe]

"You ain't got a hit, unless they sound like these did"

Normally that would be a rapper inflating his ego. But with Lupe, he is criticizing his record company for making his songs too commercial and interfering with the process to make the songs more "radio friendly"

Nice shot at Atlantic Records :p  It probably went right over their heads.

[mac423]

@TheWhiteLupe they didnt cut the song out of the album, so it must have

[TheSuirad]

0:00...uh...just press this.

[mynameherenow]

@danek954 wtf wrong with u!!! . remember lupe said they f'd over his album. they knew what he was sayn and they new damn well if it was over beats u could bob to the message would get through. i'm pretty sure its diffrents beats and hooks to most of these songs one top of that he wanted diffrent songs on it anyway. but i dare u to look past the beats and hooks and listen to his words, actually this song goes hard as hell (that is if youre aware of the shit thats going on now)

[LilWheezyWayne]

this song is soooooo perfectly timed that its 3:59 long.... that b bcuz 3:59 is missing

[Tefnuthotep]

What I love about Lupe is the fact that he flips the pop shit that they throw at him and STILL GETS HIS POINT ACROSS. This cd is on replay in my car 24/7

[foisberg68]

if you want some more truth listen to immortal technique

[Brennan2cool]

0:00h my i want more!!

[danek954]

wtf is wrong with u ppl! this shit aint annoying to u??! lupe is a very talented rapper, but this hook and beat makes me want to blow my brains out!!!!!! same goes for the rest of the cd! each song just gets gayer and gayer......

[JonnyRocketfingers7]

@danek954 Well thats actually the point of this song. Its a parody of music that gets played "Over again and over again" ...you have to sound a certain way to be on the radio. Thats the statment he's making ;)

[ChoNoTsubasa]

you will not believe how many times i listen to this album in the car

[dudet2duh]

0:00 listen from here, this is music.

[barrano247]

This is a good album i dont see anything wrong with it 4.5/5 if you ask me

[JustReadAndBreathe]

tiny bit addictive

[fagashrylo]

0:00 <<<< REPLAY BUTTON :) 

[fuckfreshmen]

0:00VER AGAIN

[SILOMIGAPELE]

If yall are wondering why Atlantic Records hasnt releases Lupes album is because of ILLUMINATI they dont want LUPES truthful music get to peoples mind cuz if it does well see how weve been played by the Illuminati!!!

MISSION:KILLUMINATI :D

[MoheekTV]

over again over again i rape this replay button.....

[cxrodformrx]

yea f the radio. i gave up on them a long time ago. they replay the same song like 3 times in an hour. sometimes its the same song all day every 30 minutes.

[SuperKING102]

love the fuck out of this shitt

[Jacobsdaballer]

"build your own station become your own dj" soo sick

[watching726005]

I don't rape the replay button i make sweet sweet love to it

[dramabitchespolitics]

The world we live in today. This is my response to words I never said.

watch?v=x0nX3t-QwoA

[dtpheif]

this is exactly why id rather listen to my ipod then the radio.

[theorangeshirts]

@dtpheif the song has a lot more to do with media in general than just the radio :P

[fioreas]

i dunno why most people hate/dont like his album (besides the problem he had with atlantic records..) i think that every single song in this album is dope and beautiful in its own way.in my opinion LASERS is an awesome CD,well i know that lupe's music was a lil different before.but seriously, the album itself is really really good.i mean it.probably u should stop comparing this one to his older ones.peace

[pleasereason]

stay true Lupe you muthafuckin lyrical warrior!!! your true fans will never let you down bro i hope i speak for all of us when i say fuck Atlantic and their incredible effort to poison lyricism!

[felicia1420]

true shit !!!

[gwiz2forlife]

Lupe one of the greatest of all time only true artist out there todays all these other rappers rap about the same stuff I wonder why! SAY NO TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!!

[TheLovepurple23]

::READ THIS CLOSELY::

And be more aware of whats not gettin air played

We all say lupid is underrater well look into that more.

[helloblackblue]

@stevenjm12 he had to put songs like this in to get the album published...if you were a true lupe fan you would know about how this album almost didnt get released and the fans got it released

[BeeAyyeee]

@helloblackblue WHAT?!?! This AMAZING album was planned to never be released??? WTF. I remember signing a petition about this on face book but I didn't know it was that serious! WOWZ!!

[stevenjm12]

this sucks. want the old lupe minus these shitty poppy beats.

[zm500]

@stevenjm12 What he does is make the song sound radio friendly but puts lyrics that only real music fans can understand.

[DISSguy118]

@boobtubekid23 thank you sooo much.

[fizza013]

Great song, really explains the media and the propaganda spread the media. Best rapper alive!

[MHBULLSFAN]

Lasers is awsome, but this is probably my favorite song from the album

[DISSguy118]

You will NEVER hear this on the radio

[boobtubekid23]

@DISSguy118 I am a dj on a radio station wdrt 91.9 fm in Wisconsin and i just played this song last night!

[dtpheif]

@DISSguy118 get a bunch of people to request it, and see what happens. (and send it to the radio station if they say they dont got it)

[iREPALESTINE]

reminds me of B.o.B

[gretnaboi1]

u must b... a radio staaaaation

[shadowkaos1]

@SunMoonStars1111 I will be the first to admit I wasn't following Lupe from the jump. I started listenin in 2008 when a buddy was playin Dumb it Down off the Cool.

[slutcoreable]

do any of you know who matt mahaffey even is?

[Robinnization]

@slutcoreable Why should I? I came here for Lupe.

[male1alfa]

Craazzyyyy !!! I Raped the Play Button ... somebody punch me if I don't buy this album !!

[courtkilledkurt]

this album is extremely dumbed down....but even lupes dumbed down stuff shits on everybody else.....i still got love for you lupe!....all of you hate, but in his position you would have done the exact same thing

[6767patrick]

alright yah its the "real Lupe" at least it's got a message unlike the other pop songs on this album, but it's so simply expressed that it's boring. The Lupe that doesn't sell out and let the label write his songs would have used metaphors and beautiful lyrics to express his ideas. And the hook is fuckin annoying

[Izzibit]

@6767patrick all i gotta say is stop blaming lupe for this album. i dont see why anyone thinks its so bad. Read up on Lupe about this album. He mentioned a few times that Atlantic wouldnt release it until he put more pop songs in there. In an actual interview he said that there were only 6 or 7 songs that he liked on this album but the rest atlantic ruined. He sent atlantic a letter saying and im paraphrasing but "once lazers is out you will not intervene on my future projects" He means FnL2

[6767patrick]

@Izzibit so wait he's stayin with Atlantic after what happened? I feel what ur saying but a dude as smart as he is should have realized that this is what would happen. I thought this was his last album anyways...

[Tekkenman101]

@6767patrick His contract doesn't expire anytime soon. He has one more album with them at the least, he's legally obliged. Also when he first signed with them he had no reason to believe they would be scumbags.

[dawickedtruth]

@Izzibit i never liked lupe dude no lie and i heard some shit on the tv and shit and i got to admit this is some ill shit real talk.. if this shit is dope i cant wait to hear what else he gots up his sleeve cause this shit is some real shit! keep it real lupe!

[MrWaggz4]

@dawickedtruth check out his these songs: glory, ghetto story, handcuffs, real recognize real, where do i go... just some of his many great tracks

[MrMan6577]

@Izzibit fnl2? ummm i was thinking illuminati or something lol, explain what fnl2 is?

[Eloybeast3]

@MrMan6577 FnL2 means Food and Liquor 2, He already has an album named Food and Liquor

[MrShakesify]

@Izzibit I think he only wants to make 1 more album, named LupEND, or did he say otherwise now?

[ebag111s]

@MrShakesify i think he's still planning on LupEND but as of now, his next album is Food and Liquior Part 2 - and it wont be his last, one song from the album (go to sleep) has already been released, and it actualy sounds fantastic :D

[HDLoH]

This is actually Lupe. This is not dumbed down like the majority of the album.

[33smish33]

this is the way to sum up lupe fiasco.... GENIUS thumbs up if you agree

[cwoodie3]

This Is My Favorite Song Rite Now

[NoLimits4152010]

i have officially dumped lil wayne an became a lupe head(:

[SunMoonStars1111]

@NoLimits4152010 Yeah for the glossy beats. You self-proclaiming bandwagon fans are fuckin annoying. And there's allloooot of you too, ever since Lasers came out.

[AkbersACoolBean]

The 6 dilikes are lil Wayne Fans...

[unblended31]

[xNinjaKingx]

Im amazed Lupe was able to turn such a catchy n technoey chorus into something MEANINGFUL! GJ lupe, gotta pick up ur album for sure, i shall NOT dl it X_X

[Cici4Momo7]

i understand!!!! i feel smart!

[tezboi098]

replay button:"hello? police? he came back!"

police:"who came back?"

[AriEliteOne]

@tezboi098 Lol I know right that's too damn funny man.

[looneytoonz1000]

@tezboi098 lmfao but its not rape if its wanted

[fertild]

@tezboi098 fuck off you must like jz

[withnielandi]

It's a shame Lupe's massage is not going out over the airwaves, The radio really is state run by the BBC here in Britain!

[LyfeAsMrsHoward]

Lupe Much Love...Chicago's South Side Loves YOU!

[originalgangsta407]

''Different is never good, only if its what we pick, You aint got a hit, unless it sounds like these did'' Now isnt that real

[jzek4]

I LOVE LASERS!!! IT'S GREAT!! i dunno what you guys are saying, like fuck atlantic records. he has some say in it. if he didnt like the content he woulda walked. he prob knows kanye would take him in GOOD music. the lyrics are great and the hooks are catchy. what good songs should have,

[ienvybr]

radios should put more lupe' songs on

[TheMykcal]

Speak on man, I get what hes saying.

[TheCudiKush]

this song should bee played 50 times in a row on every radio station!

[TheIceBoxLuv]

I bought this LASERS CD and I still have my Food & Liquor CD. Lupe--FNF UP!! LEGGO!

[RockieOllie]

This is ear porn

[DaFrezhPrince]

FOR THE STUPID DUMB FUCKS...LUPE KNEW THE ALBUM WASN'T GOING TO BE AUTHENTIC LIKE HIS OTHER ALBUMS...THATS WHY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR THE ALBUM TO COME OUT...THE FANS WANTED THIS ALBUM DON'T FORGET HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE THIS PROJECT ASIDE AND MAKE FOOD AND LIQUOR 2:THE GREAT AMERICAN RAP ALBUM

[ishitonrappers1]

if u like lupe then listen to IOTOS.

Jammed Up by IOTOS and 4th and Inches by IOTOS are off the chain fa real.

[5nowwy]

This song just raped all radio stations, canada and the world....damn way to go Lupe

[shedgen0]

THUMBS UP IF LUPE IS THE BEST RAPPER IN THE GAME TODAY!

[RockieOllie]

@shedgen0 I don't think Lupe is a rapper, he has to much class and meaning in his songs to be one

[fiascoXeast]

bro i know who ever didnt liek this just straight hate lol lupe is king 

[jserna51]

@DrJ739158

LMAO YEAH U BETTER

[Sc4rR3DTh3Rm4LNinJ4]

5 People Are Officially Deaf

[rxgeass]

im glad there r ppl like lupe out there...ppl who inspire others to learn and do good with there music instead of those who use their music to boast about weed,sex, and money
