"And if the rain stops and everythings' dry, she would cry just so I can drink the tears from her eyes" -lupe just one of many sick lines in this masterpiece.

[freshprince58]

13 people are hating cause their girlfriends never made them a monument on her bosom..

[gallohiphop]

(Am I over-analyzing?) 1. I love the piece & I love the whore I love the C's & I love the chore No love for no bitch, baby that's loyal But she didn't see, therefore I spoil. 2. I love the peace and I love the wharf I love the season, I love the shore No love for no beach bathing that's long But she doesn't sea, Therefore I spa. 3. Isle of the appease and isle of the war Isle of disease anhial of the shore No love for an oil beach, pay me that's law What she doesn't seize their four high-spar.

[M4YO101]

lupe and j cole needa do work together. that would make me happy

[bobcyl]

lyrical mastermind..

[bobcyl]

Lupe Fiasco is the coolest nigga what

[darrat11]

who knew lupe was muslim, yea dog

[darrat11]

all lupe's songs have a deeper meaning, i think for this one i think it means in order to do alot of good in order to bad, but you cannot get carried away with your own personal interests, lupe do it

[iamrj7]

@TheGreatBoyWonder5 uhmmmmm... no

[TheGreatBoyWonder5]

illuminati whore !!!!!

[Kaykay9050]

Lupe's beats help ease MY mind into the context of the song. I get a clearer meaning from the beats as well. the beats set the plot. Lupe is the best. PERIOD(^_^)

[Frikkindavid]

Lupe is the best rapper alive, and this is his best song. Amazing lyrics, and it really makes you think.

[windmillingman]

The woman in the tune is a metaphor of worldy desires/promices of fame, money and power and women.

[Tiggy317]

get off my nigga weezy dyck bytches

[theresiafreestyle]

the coolest song from lupe fiasco!

[alexkingcloud]

i hope lupe wins best rap album, best rap solo performance, best rap/sung collaboration, and best rap song at the grammys

seriously

Lupes as real as it gets

but of course lil waynes gonna break the record for most grammys won by a rapper

seriously

lil wayne is an ass kiss 2 da hip hop business

[reginaldotm]

ai muito loka essa musik falow

[Warfare8823]

Top Ten Best Ever DoA 1. Chingy 2. Lil Boosie 3. Young Berg 4. Lloyd Banks 5. Nelly 6. Soulja Boy 7. Lil Scrappy 8. J-Kwon 9. Mike Jones 10. Hurricane Chris LMAO Just kidding. All these guys fucking suck and just kill hip hop! Lupe 4Eva

[pineapplepootytang]

[Marcussvg]

mne said chingy number one i almost died mane...haha

[Warfare8823]

[tbaby673]

[Warfare8823]

haha

[KingRob2011]

o lol

[Marcussvg]

Lupe and Kanye. All hail the kings.

[ThaCrazy77]

imo lupe is better than kanye

[toakenny723]

my cool young history=Michael young history=The cool before he died. he is also the kid from He Say She Say

[paullyser]

so whos the best of all time people

[Otodat]

"Lord please have sympathy, and and forgive my cool young history. Michael Young History is the name of the lead character for those that don't know :) I don't remember the last time a rapper tryed to use a successful play on words beyond "foshizzle". It's not all verbal word play though, that's just the cherry on the icecream. The real cream is the album. He's trying to tell hiphop stories and connect them in an overall framework. It's excellent stuff.

[divineartist94]

Lupe = Rap King. Point blank. None of these new generation can stand up to him.

[1DetroitSweetie]

Lupe is an excellent rapper who is so underatted this iz a classic song and one of my favs he should get more credit

[414rapper]

i agree wit xPurpleHartzx lupe deep as hell he b goin ova niggas head tho but dis shit nice tho.

[bomshizzle]

Fuck Lil Wayne. Go LUPE!!

[JCAL360]

Lupe FIasco is so amazing he better not retire

[xPurpleHartzx]

He's the realist rapper alive. I would quickly compare him to a deeper mor complex v of tupac :3

[Otodat]

You said it man. A deeper more complex version of tupac at a younger age. He's a superstar and I hope he wins some much deserved Grammys (The Cool album is nominated for 4). That would be the type of thing that would be a signal that he has arrived. I really hope that he wins all 4 of them, or at least Hiphop album of the year because there isn't a single album that is as deep and dynamic as this one. My new Illmatic.

[tbaby673]

Unfortunately weezy's wack ass will win hip hop album of the year. The grammys are a joke.

[oldharve]

the most clever part of this song is his play on words with his character Michael Young History...if you haven't followed the the cool, or checked the background on the characters he speaks of throughtout his album - the cool, the streets, michael young history - then maybe it doesn't mean much to you...but in the hook he says "and forgive my cool young history (michael-mycool)...this whole song is dope, but that just jumped out at me the other day in the car

peace people

[UchihaLucious]

i have heard very few lyricist that can bring the capacity of rooted meaning behind lyrics like L upe does. There arent many albums or songs that i have listened to a couple hundred times just to catch meaning behind every line. Lupe is the undisputed einstein of hip hop only a couple cats have even come close to his lyrical endeavors and thats comin close to not touching

[thakurabhi16]

a match made in heaven set the fires in hell

[FrostWolf15]

And if the rain stops and everythings dry, she would cry just so I could drink the tears from her eyes. OH MY GOD! That has to be real love. imagine someone doing that. Pure Genieus !

[toakenny723]

u do know the streets has hennessy for tears right?

[HipHop4TheMind23]

he iz a great writer, one uf da best...

but so unknown...

[sesshy20questions]

yeah thats so sad to me

everyone should kno about him

[AzNMVP23]

this song is pure poetry..

[theresiafreestyle]

LUPE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

[nachotube2]

the cooooooooool

[1439dan]

postive vibe best young artist ever is he coming out with another cd

[Kenarox727]

yes LupEND but sadly it will be his last so he says, but he said he'd still be featured on stuff and do alot of work with CRS, which may not happen. He probably will still drop mixtapes/freestyles o-o

I think he'll pull a Jay-Z and just come back when hip hops ready. It seems hip hops been dropping more lyrical stuff imo.

[TriniPsycho22]

Lepend

[inspecta617]

best artist ever* ..i mean hnoestly if Lupe made club tracks mixed with these kinda tracks ppl would compare him to tupac, but i think lupe is a deeper writer than Pac

[sharpshootter909]

lupe is deep but he doesn't have the balls to rap about what pac was rapping about...he's not willing to die for his art..there for he's not deeper then pac because he doesn't rap about him self or things that can get him in trouble....therefore think before you speak child.

[inspecta617]

and wat exactly did tupac rap about that caused his death? he was bouta leave death row so suge knight had him killed...i mean tupac is a great rapper i have him as best rapper ever but Lupe deff more deeper

[hphave]

@sharpshootter909

man, thats some fuckin' BS. He is not a gangster rapper so y the f would he rap like pac?

two diffrent artists. u so dumb

[The2pacRemixes]

@hphave u know shit all about pac if ur dumb enough to consider him a 'gangsta rapper' u fuckin gimp

[sharpshootter909]

and on't get me wrong either lupe is in my top three...right behind immortal technique

[310Hoodstar]

amazing lyrics

the best rapper seen in recent years

[Ramphas]

I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[DoLaMaCk]

word to god, if lupe wanted to take a spot like that of wayne or jigga, it would be like takin candy from a sperm. I'm glad he stay true to him though. Aint nobody puttin em together like Lupe in todays time. very underated

[cashmoney1216]

Lupe is so sick, he deserves a spot as an amazin rapper. He is definitly my third favorite rapper hands down

[Dcannon91]

This song is talking about how Michael Young meets the streets and first becomes seduced by her, so it would be before he becomes the cool.

[HipHop4TheMind23]

his songz are just sick..

da way he spits is just a whole notha level of hip-hop..

we need more of these artists..

[evilhybridchicken]

Mad cipher

[flygreygoose]

sometimes i dnt understand either, but this son is crazy.

[ramafia09]

i love lupe. he is such a beast, but i dont really like it sometimes when i dont know what he is talking about. like i know the three characters (the streets, the game, and the cool) but could someone please expain what the main idea of the story or who is talking to who in this song?

[Mercenary11]

i take songs in by what they mean to me and lupe has a few lines that speak to me personally... i love the lord but sometimes it like that i love me more....every vein every vessel every bullet large, wit every flower i ever took apart (love).....if the rain stops and everythings dry she'd cry jus so i can drink the tear from her eye she teach me how to fly even cushion my fall if my engines ever stall and i plummet from the sky (sayin "she" has his back i think she is the streets

[pyromaster123]

Lupe is undoubtfully one the best if not the best hip-hop has to offer in this messed up music industry. Everyone else talks about irrelevant crap like the cars, bling, girls and weed. Dont get me wrong, there are people who produce real hip-hop music but then most of them just tend to loose themselves to the industry. I hope Lupe doesn't turn out to be one of them because I love his music and I'm proud to say I'm listening to real Hip-hop. Its not that fake garbage some artists call Hip-hop.

[lil0ze]

im cooler than the streets

[coolspitfire]

if you dont know what this songs talking about just go to lupes website it explains all three charcter and there stores.

[sharingan072]

i think that sound in the beginning, u know the stone scraping against the ground, is an allusion to the ressurection of Jesus.

[GmanL18P]

no is not.. it has nothing to do with jesus.

[sharingan072]

well what's that sound supposed to be?

[GmanL18P]

is lupe's resurrected Hustler Character coming out his grave. Listen to the songs "The Cool"

& also to "The Die".. All those track relate to this one.. And in the superstar video "The Cool" is in the video ;)

[eatchinesefood0]

Put You on Game is also part of the story

[Cannableman]

no,its about michael young (who later becomes the cool after he dies), its about how mic falls in love with The Streets who is another one of Lupe's characters he talks about in the album, The streets has eyes that glow with the doller symbol witch he refers to wen he says "her eyes glow green with the logo of our dreams" also She has the names of all the people whos lives that shes taken tatood on her chest which is wat hes talkin bout wen he says"she would commision my image on her bosom"

[KtotheSallday]

cooless niggaa whaat

cooless niggaa whaaat

[TheYungNiggaz1234]

It sucks that nigga is gonna retire

The game is gonna miss one of its star players

Real talk

[mund3n5]

lupe would make t.i. look like dr. suess

[mattlabrecque]

@mund3n5 dr. suess is awesome...

[Batman038]

1)pac

2)big L

3)Q tip

4)50 cent

5)jayz

[rowson88]

WHAT!!how does 50 go above Jay Z?

[Batman038]

yea ur rite ...jay numba 3 n 50 iz my 5th...

[ReXxMaN]

is he talkin about the rap game or am i wrong? sum1 help

[eatchinesefood0]

yeah Michael Young (My Cool Young) History falls in love with "The Game"

"I love her, with all my heart

Every vein, every vessel,

every bullet lodged

With every flower that I ever took apart

She said - that she would give me greatness,

status, placement above the others

My face would grace covers

of the magazines of the hustlers "

[FEESHSLAP]

how can it be about him being in love with the game cuz theres the lyric where it says "do i lover, i say i dunnno, streets got my heart, the game got my soul" it hink this story is about "the cool". but the part u said makes alot of sense. and i think "put u on game" is about the game talking to the cools 8 year old daughter. and jw, what does fnf mean?

[eatchinesefood0]

Your right I meant the Streets and FnF is his record label called First n Fifteenth

[FEESHSLAP]

thanks man cuz i hear it in like 2 other of his songs and i couldnt figure it out. but yeah it does make since that hes falling in love with "the game" cuz it the whole part from where he says "she sayed that she would give me greatnes" to the part where he says "she could be my queen" makes sense cuz it sounds like the game promised michael young fame and fortune, but it does make alot more since if it was the streets cuz it sounds more like a love siong.

[sharingan072]

First n Fifteenth

its his label

[lupe115]

first off, the game is a guy, i think you mean the streets!

[lupe115]

no its a long story that he started on real recognize real!! listen to that then this you'll be caught up!

[eatchinesefood0]

I know, I corrected my mistake in my second comment

[GmanL18P]

is lupe's resurrected Hustler Character coming out his grave. Listen to the songs "The Cool"

& also to "The Die".. All those track relate to this one.. And in the superstar video "The Cool" is in the video ;)

[GmanL18P]

my bad that was to sharingan

[sharingan072]

so it was a stone moving, just The cool coming out not Jesus. okay. cuz i listened to all of The Cool and Food and Liquor.

[toakenny723]

starts on he says she says

[isports22]

Lupe is the best current lyrisist in the hip-hop industry, don't even place T.I. anywhere near him. While Lupe's beats aren't the best T.I. isn't even comperable to Lupe.

[8182570]

Lu is nominated for 4 grammys this year!

w00t w00t!! his competition: T.I., Lil wayne, jay z, flo rida, etc. Surely Lu's The Cool, Superstar and Paris tokyo trump any other albums/songs!! ;)

i hope those grammys people at least give him one! He's so deserving!!

[powertothepeople12]

@isports22

Lupe's beats are the best for Lupe, the man knows what he's doing.

[jonparksmith]

@isports22 "Lupe's beats aren't the best" thats the point. Lupe doesn't need amazing beats like half of the other hip hop artists to make a song. He makes the song with his lyrical ingenuity

[Thriced2286]

@jonparksmith I dont understand..Lupe's beats are sex to my ears...his voice and lyrics just kills it tho.

[SneakerZeeker]

@isports22 which beats arent great.. i could compare lupes beat choice to any album out now and demonstrate how they are easily superior. i listen to the cool without stopping. due to his choices.

[mabus2007]

T.I.

????

wow

you have no idea what hip hop is

i feel bad for kids like you....

[UCLAGIRL3]

my favorite rappers are:

1.pac

2.T.I.

3.Lupe

4.biggie

5. Luda

[xXxWingmanxXx]

this song motivates me to play the drums more

[101Capricorn]

i love this song!!!!

[Carguy]

I bet the second verse flies over everyones head.

[pumpkinpie12]

lUPE IS tHE COOLEST NIGGA.

[XxLiveYourDreamsxX]

its not about witch rapper is better ore cooler its about the lyrics what it can bring 4 the word what it can do 4 youre feelings what it helps 4 what humens think about

[Kazlo28]

This is one of the greatest songs ever made in my book, Lupe's imagery just paints a picture. You don't even need a video to "see" what he's talking about.

[cjmagic900]

I completely agree. this is like a poetic masterpiece.

[snakelord2]

The coolest nigga indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thomasptiny]

so true

[mabus2007]

what?

[northernconnect]

lupes not the best

[pikhienko]

Then who in your opinion is the best? In my opinion he IS IN FACT the best rapper out right now

[DFcrimson5]

agreed, hes good, but not the best.

i always felt eminem deserves the crown.

[wordsareweapons90]

this hurts my brain.. it does its scary.. like this is a work of.. ouch fuckin .. ouch amazing.:D

[Monkeyman2357]

You sir...are and idiot :[

[wordsareweapons90]

The Coolest Nigga what ?

[krazynigg23]

fuckin sick,

lupe is the best<3

[Macgunny]

[Dr3z94]

[lilmiszqt1]

Lupe's The Best Rapper Out There!!

[pootiewoo7]

[dagoyle]

Check Out My Video Response Called If I Died Tomorrow...straight fire and i have a video on my page Rapping to this beat thats fire too so check me out....DaGoyle*

[dannyhpk]

[mred101]

why the fuck do stupid fucks talk about different artist on a artist video most of you are all stupid fucks damn... you fucking idiots ITS A LUPE SONG FUCK IMMORTAL BITCH MADE NIGGA

[WiiEpsilon]

wha?

[mokaljordan]

crazy ass song song as far as i know this is the rap version of Thriller to me(album and song) except the fact it will never sell as much as thriller but thats imo but i get scared while playing this song sumtimes which makes me feel that comparison.lupes bringing scary back like mike then my F.R.O.A.T.

[dannyhpk]

many a hater will listen to this and thing what is this fool onnabout but us real rap fans who analyze the rhymes we know where its at

[Izzibit]

Prey to God the the floods subside. Cause u gonna need a sub till he does reply.

OMG game fuckin over

[Emilpemil10]

Guys, who the hell says that Imm Tech isnt good? That guy is an amazing rapper, really sweet flow etc. Though, this song breaks like all his songs, I just love the dark voice that fills up the sentence ''But not well enough to keep 'em from us''. Really give me goosebumps. Peace foe yall

[pantherzfan201]

Technique is amazing..people just think he's not good cause he isn't mainstream.

[kingjinga]

Lol, he's not mainstream? He came out on a Kanye West song.

[pantherzfan201]

What song was that?? As far as i know, he's still underground

[BklynKidLegend]

touch the sky

[pantherzfan201]

Immortal Technique is definitely not on Touch the Sky.

[BklynKidLegend]

o shoot i thought u was talkin about lupe lol

nvr mind

[TannerxD]

I dont think underground artists play at the VMAs or get nominated twice at the BET awards (and was nominated 3 times in the europe video awards.) But thats just me...

[pantherzfan201]

Yea, it is just you...i'm definitely talking about Immortal Technique...

[remix1on1]

does it really matter ??????? im happy thst they r true artist breaking into mainstream ......... lets open the ears of the world with this not fight over stupid shit......spread the word!!!!!!!!

[alhsisthebest]

2 bad lupe is leavin the rap game

[Ramphas]

This song is a masterpiece. When my exams are over, I'm going to sit down and analyze the lyrics because they are intriguing.

[quirkymuch]

this song is extremely deep, i've yet to understand even though i've had this song on my iPOD for almost a year.

just amazing.

[dannyhpk]

iv listened to all nas and jiggas songs but damn they never put out a song as deep as this

[Mercenary11]

immoral tech is nice as shit wtf are yall talkin bout? aint number one but the guy is dope

[dmani1]

wow deepness man.." do u love her do u love her said iunno.. streets got my heart pain got my soul.. deepness ftw

[lupethekillerr]

Alright

I goes something like this peeps;

Nas:

Hero just blew everyone out of the water

Lupe Fiasco: Dumb it down,Coolest superstar and the fighters where sick

Jay: he fell off money/beyonce changed him.

EMINEM

he is the greatest, he just hasnt been here lately which sucks cuz the hip hop need him

No mention of wayne or pain butt honorable mentions : the game isss SO SICK and andrea 3000, who i havent heard much of,

[Luc4zor]

Jay didn't fall off, 3K is good, Eminem has good rhymes and lyrics but that crazy white boy mentality takes some of his songs to be a little too strong. Um what else...The Game is useless, idiotic, annoying and had good lyrics for like...20 minutes, got a $300 check then started being garbage.

[crocodile4]

eminem isn't the best i disagree, so....that's not how it goes peeps

[HipHopfene]

I mean im kinda a fan of Jay... his flow is aiight i guess.. but he's more style than lyricism... HArd knock life volume 2 was my first album so im not even hatin on Jay hes a legend... but ive started to drift away from his style of rap.. I prefer more of the style thats TI Kanye Lupe and Talib and others in their Category, but Jay is good at his own thing so yeah.

[timmytibble]

best rappers RIGHT now, in terms of talent not popularity...

Kweli (still as good now as he was back with Blackstar)

Jay-Z (always on point, but Blueprint 3 better be good cuz this guy is changing away from the real Hov)

Lupe (crazy lyricism/depth)

GZA (protools proved he's still got it)

Nas (better than Jay, hasnt been affected in the least by pop culture. still making raw songs.)

and watch out for Eminem in the next few months. King Mathers looks like its going to be hot.

[Broonlie]

Kanye West isnt one of the best in the game at the moment he just isnt the same,using the stupid t -pain voice has made me lost alot of respect for him.

[dionel80]

lupe is freakin nice i dont know y people sleep on him i mean his lyrics are nasty!!!!

[HipHopfene]

Ya i like Tupac and eazy E eminem too... but i wasnt a big fan of biggie i know im a get bashed for that but idk i jus wasnt into him... but as for now im more into newer artists but ill always revert back to those guys

[HipHopfene]

I cant say im a big fan of 808's but i understand that hes goin thru a tough time with his momma. Like erry single song if u pay attention to the lyrics has references to his mom. Especially coldest winter. But Kanye is releasing a fifth album next year i think its called good ass job... that should be on point and back to his old style. whats your top 5?

[HipHopfene]

Lupe is lyrically amazing I bought his album as soon as it came out Listenin to his music makes you think so much its metaphorical love it. Now i usually dont like haters but im throw some hate out here how can someone say Lil Wayne is better then Lupe it pisses me off. Also im kinda sad Lupe only comin out with one more album but dats cuz hes tryin to keep it real and not go commercial i respect that.

Top 5 Rappers

1.Lupe Fiasco

2.Kanye West

3.T.I. (real as hell)

4.The Game

5.Talib Kweli

[TalkofLA]

I gotta agree thats a tight top 5

they do real hip hop

not sure about kanye doe and all this love lockdown shit

I would prolli replace him

with Immortal tecnique

[Aphasia17]

only people who dont know good rap like immortal technique... thats the weakest shit

[TalkofLA]

dammn I can tell you dumb azz fuck

[Aphasia17]

immortal technique....... laugh* shits weak dumb ass

[seussboytenko]

if i could understand ur gangsta ass talking it mite help,,,

[FunkyFreshGuru]

Tupac? Biggie? Eazy E? Big L? Eminem?

[quilthedon22]

i have to disagree a lil here. i mean, all of these guys are cool, but i gotta switch it up, and chop and screw this list. i ain't bashin ya shit though, cuz these guys aren't bad. here's my twist.

1. Jay Z (cuz he's just Hova)

2. Nas (Untitled was fuckin amazing).

3. Lupe Fiasco (I'd put em here, but he plays around way too much. Lupe is the best thing we have goin and it's sad he's retiring cuz he's classic.

4. Eminem (lyrically amazing)

5. Luda (second most underrated rapper after lupe.
