We all have our own brains and can form our own ideas and express them freely :] If you do agree feel free to share/spread. It has nothing to do with me-no ulterior motives, rather just a message, a reminder :]
I'm not hating I'm being serious, a great vid, but it does look like T.I. Anyways, Gold Watch and Paris, Tokyo are both gems in Lupe's discography, but I like the Deodato sample so I roll with Paris, Tokyo.
i agree. I have not seen another mainstream artist that is as deep and creative and Lupe. That freakin MYH concept was SEXY!!!! lol! Love a good storyteller than can make it flow. But anyway, everyone knows that Lupe writes meaningful lyrics, but I still think a lot of people don't know the full extent of his creativity and deepness. How many rappers do you know other than him that can write beyond a 5th grade level without making up a dumb dance, and combine it with a meaningful concept.
The first line of the song definitely explains it all, "Let's the review the essentials of Cool" IMPORTANT: Cool is actually actually the character Michael Young History. After he died, he became The Cool. In the song, Lupe is talking about what makes MYH "cool" and what he likes, the fact that he didn't go to college, he's all about his money, and he's got street smarts. All of the material things, fame and money, he gained because of the gold chain he got from his girl.
Damn, that's deep, I never thought of it like that, I always felt it was just about lupe. I never made the connection between MYH and "cool" I think the song works on both levels though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
not even close to the greatest lyricist. as far as best mainstream rapper alive, i could agree with that, i dont like much mainstream though. that was what my original comment was aimed at, someone here said somethign about this not being mainstream. much better than wayne tho, ill give him that. if you want some amazing lyrics check out MF DOOM, you will go nuts if it isnt over your head
its a sample and personally its a great job even if they made the sound they sampled. Its hiphop and you dont like the sample go buy a brittney spears cd and get auto toned til ur brainwashed. the damn sample makes the track and the producers are giving the elements in their tracks. I think its tied with dumb it down for best track and if you didnt like gold watch dumb it down is for you.
That's what I've seen with a lot of lyrics, when I look up this song. It doesn't sound like it at all though. And it's not made from a sample so no way in knowing what it says :-/ minus what I've seen translated for lyrics.
I have to disagree. As a matter fact it's one of the most unique samples I heard in awhile. It's fit in the song to me and it's also one of the best tracks off the CD. To the producers of the track, great job.
That was just plain awesome! The storyline, concept, design, all of it. The scene where he leans against the wall with the glasses on is in Kick Push's Video, as well. Great storyline. Best sims video ever.

The Chorus is being ironic and the verses are lupes obscure things that define his way of being cool. listen to the 3rd verse. its the most important
