Lupe Fiasco - The Cool - Little Weapon

[xoxoxluvskittles]

this makes me cry now every time i listen to it because i could picture the poor upducted little invisible children who have been conditioned to live these horrrrrrrrrrrrible lives. It literally makes me break down. Most people are so ignorant to the horrors occuring in central africa... <3 bring them peace

[PHStigers850]

he comes up with the most creative things for songs..and then he destroys it

[8787ste]

check out my channel just made a new song about ibiza

[666cornholio666]

This is such a dope track

[SuperSmokinBud]

right now lupe is number 1,kick azz music.

[shaqbreeze757]

will you faggots please stop mentioning lil wayne on every hip hop video you come across , its just as bad as lil wayne's music , you guys are fans of lil wayne and don't even know it , STOP BEING SHEEP AND WAKE UP

[pickmeup95]

why do we always randomly bring up lil wayne on videos like this? most anyone who is listening to this already likes lupe no need to compare him to some rapper who you think sucks. just let wayne live his life and enjoy the music

[jumbabrother]

Leave it to the people of youtube to mention Lil' Wayne on a Lupe song.

[pecantanshawty1]

this sounds demonic

[caleb4148]

If you listen to music for its message and not just its sound check out the song and video me and a friend made to help raise awareness for some serious issues... Its on my page

ps. Lupe is a beast haha

[poeticjae2tha]

brilliant how he incorporate video games, kids who are forced to be violent in other countries and kids that choose to be violent domestically.

[CheshireJester]

It's even better when Lupe mixes it with Gorillaz' Kids With Guns

[itsbobo1234]

@1quick4u you must be very confused if you believe this is the only song he uses symbolic lyrics.

[itsbobo1234]

Your right there is more to hip hop than to be as conscious as possible, but that isnt my point, hip hop artists these days are only out there to make more $ disregarding whats going on around them, especially in the government. Im a lil shocked that your saying Ron Paul is "dumb" considering he is one the smartest guys in the world with an IQ of above 140. Its not like he predicted a national attack on the US (9/11) or anything. But I do love Kanye and drake,wayne n Jay Z are all great rappers

[mze1111]

They were trying to kill the jetsons because they didn't know i already killed them.

[itsbobo1234]

I really wish some teenagers understood music a little more than they do, people will always follow the hype(Lil Wayne,Jay,Drake,Kanye) when they should be listening to music with symbolic interactionism, like shown by Lupe. I have gained so much more respect for him, especially after he released American Terrorist and blamed the Obama and the US for the terrorist attacks.And hes a Ron Paul supporter, this guy is the truth of hip hop.

[1quick4u]

@itsbobo1234 dude this the only song where he did that now he sounds like wayne jay and kaynne lo

[teethofghosts]

@itsbobo1234 There's more to hip-hop than trying to be as conscious as possible. I got love for Lupe (not so much for Ron Paul because he's dumb), but Kanye seriously revolutionized hip-hop with his production and open-book lyrical style, Drake did a wonderful infusion of hip-hop and R&B (while he does have a fair share of iffy singles, Take Care is an unbelievably personal snapshot of today's generation), and Lil Wayne was great in the mid-2000s, but a shame he's sucked in the past few years.

[MeZmoRiiZeXx]

@itsbobo1234 honestly man i was all about the hype and everything but lupe opened my eyes 2 years ago while most of my friends are still stuck in waynes world to this day and its sad.

[dimensional21]

itgave me chills how he related children killing to children playing violent games.... badass song =)

[abcountry206]

wayne wish he could have lupes lyrics then his punchlines wouldnt be so simple lol

[elektrodj66]

Why am I listening to 4 years old music? Because nowadays there is no good hiphop

[TheCuljat1994]

This intro is seriously my favorite intro from ANY song ever

[humzamumtaz512]

LUPE!!!!

[CoDxNexus]

this song is for low life niggers

[mikenikes3000]

pandora brought me here

[allo5671]

Lupe fiasco was in lil wayne's dream

[IndependenttRecords]

I MISS 2007

[MYAYOSUN]

[BlueSmoke512]

[Kumonsux32]

I will actually buy a gun to blow away the five retards who disliked this song

[SurviveSafetySuccess]

one of the best lupe songs

[Jmomey23allday]

this my song right here

[darrat11]

Violence is not the norm, unless you make it so

peace is not attained through war, unless you must fight for it

childeren do not learn they copy

power dosent corrupt, corrupt people do.

[MLGCarzy]

the last verse is call about me the bishop g part god dam it all about me nigga

[CmCrz13]

lil waynes lyrics are trash dont even kno y ppl like him lupe fiasco are good have flow and they have a message nothin about beatin hoes and shit

[crookcountygangsta]

Thank u!!!!!!!!!!

[Warfare8823]

Beatin hoes haha. It's true though.

[ThePonchoLeroy]

@CmCrz13 You sure try to appear intelligent but everyone can tell you're not. If you were really smart you would keep an open mind to things. Also you would be able to spell and punctuate correctly.

[1quick4u]

@CmCrz13 No Lupe was good this album made him beast now he's just trash

[54thregime]

i wuz even caught up in da intro(fly azz fuk)

[madarauchiha456]

lupe is the truth also eminem nas jay also smoke weed all day all night all the time

[F0SHEE]

yea you got the right idea. smoke weed, listen to real hip-hop

[hugitout23]

[juiceboxmoney]

[ds896989]

[Krazyei8ht]

[letrace]

genius....genius

If you think Wayne Betta

Your Dumb high

Lupe didnt have a"Wobblie Wobblie" start

[redtowelproductions]

[redtowelproductions]

[stillballin999]

fresh track

[thugableangel]

Little Weapon's (producer/songwriter)= Patrick Stump of "Fall out boy"

[spychotic420]

prays five times a day & listens to heavy metal. thats my favorite part

[zapz56]

sick tune

[Zeldamcp]

This song is fire

[Hiphopninja1313]

truth...

[ihatejoell]

Word.

[StephenS74794]

The beginning of the song(0:04 - 0:32) is a sample from a freestyle that Lupe did called "Kids With Guns."(Instrumental: Gorillaz - Kids With Guns) This song is from his latest album "The Cool" and, this song isn't his intro to the album. Also the beginning of the song that voice is Lupe's in a deeper tone. On another note, What the fuck is "Rubbish?"

[AinSophAur000]

A word from the original english vocab?

[Zeldamcp]

Garbage

[PikUpDeDeliFone]

lmfaoooo

[Samb012]

lol gogetrenks said "rubbish" he must be british. ne ways what does this song mean?!

[xzillo40]

one of the best intros of all time

[gogetrenks]

who is singing the first part?? if anyone knows tell me....

[pngator85]

I'm pretty sure it's Lupe, with his voice just altered

[NECESSARY777]

hez ttalkin bout real stuffffffff!!!

[RiKuDoSeNnIn316]

genius= LUPE

[hellz00]

how would i copy is video to my computer?

[travis101101]

love the beat

[Ryosuke3156]

かっこいいので、

ダンスの曲に使ってます。

[xzillo40]

lol stfu

[PikUpDeDeliFone]

damn this nigga is the only rapper

who dun curse

[CoolmanKris52]

yeah he does, just not as often

[ramafia09]

will smith used to not curse when he rapped too

[sharingan072]

"he gone blow away da bully dat just pushed his ass

pushed his ass

pushed his ass..."

[poppintags3]

chammillionaire doesnt either

[xXxWingmanxXx]

beats dope snares are crazy

[zleppo03]

lupe is under rated and better than every body else

[pngator85]

I wouldn't argue against that. Sucks that lupEND will be his last

[carlos1ga]

i heard the his last album lupE.N.D will be release in three different parts but this aint a fact i just heard it

[pngator85]

yea, there's a video on here somewhere where he announces that it will be a 3-disc album

[redtowelproductions]

i heard he's doing ten songs so i'm not sure how 3 parts would work but i wouldn't doubt it.

[kaaprycorn15]

this is tite. =}

[Jerkyboy2169]

the dude from good charlotte produced this

[palnortecalle13]

no he didn't it's patrick stump from fall out boy

[Badin10tions]

It was actually the lead singer from Fall Out Boy,Patrick Stump.

[bko90]

I keep saying this shit but nobody believes me. That Lupe is the best rapper alive right now. But i guess common sense is not common nowadays.

[lilsamofro]

i have to play the start over and over again its fucking lyrical genius.

[ramafia09]

heat under the baby seat

[flash498]

Little Alex got a gun he took from his dad

that he snuck into school in his black book bag

His black nail polish

black boots

and black hair (i say hat)

gonna blow away the bully that just pushed his ass.

[flash498]

Lil Khalil got a gun he got from the rebels to kill the infidels and american devils

a bomb on his waist

a mask on his face

prays five times a day

and listens to heavy metal.

[flash498]

Now lil terry got a gun he got from the store

he bought it with the money he got from his chores

He robbed the candy shop told her lay down on the floor

Put the cookies in the bag and take the pennys out the drawer.

[Vorg6]

Been a while since I heard this, its fire.

[thelinerules1520]

dude like someone showed me things n i have been in love since...

[fdshtjsdr]

the best

[mabus2007]

he will be one of the best

but not for awhile folks

give him another 4 or 5 years

then wait till you hear those beats and flows

remember hes really only been seriously into the game for about 5 years now

give him time

[TeeTop2008]

"Imagine if I had to console the families of those slain I slayed on game consoles. I aim, I hold. Right trigger to squeeze. Press up and Y. One less n***a breathe. B for the bombs. Press pause for ya moms. Make the room silent. She don't approve of violent games.

[TeeTop2008]

She leaves, resume activity. Start and blew hearts apart. Sharp wizardry. On next part, I insert code to sweeten up the little person's murder workload. I tell him he work for C.I.A. with A. With opperative, I opperate this game all day. I hold a controller connected to the soldier with weapons on his shoulder. He's only seconds older than me. Wii. Playful but serious. Now keep that on mind for online experience. Uhn!!

[BeatMonarchs]

lupe's first album was nice but it wasnt on the cools level

when i heard this album i was like damn ive been sleeping on dude

i really hope he pushes him self for that classic album he needs 2 be considered one of the best in the game

n i hope bishop g n the rest of his artists drop some nice albums

[KishManz]

Lupe "The King" Fiasco!!!

[phsycokidx000]

wayne lied lupes the best rapper alive

[collision934]

real shit

[thknown]

Bishop G ripped that last verse... this whole song is just fucking the truth...cant wait til L.U.P.End

[TeeTop2008]

That is my favorite verse. Whenever I'm in the mood, I'd replay that verse over and over, rapping along with it.

[yazdarks]

Lupe and TI are the biggest and best of this year.

weezy is not up to their level.

[KingdomHearts200]

that is so true

[Dsenuik]

ti sucks.....

[gogetrenks]

are you mad fam ohh my god you need help if ou think this is rubbish wow you have problems are you a emo or something???????

well yeh you probably are

[Dsenuik]

what are you talking about? this songs sick, whatd i say???

[nyashahove]

his amusical genius he just flowswell nad his smart with how he writes unlike people like lil wayne

[AWPNubDiesel]

I'm not saying that this is a bad song or anything, but it seems like most of yall think that lupe is the only rapper out there that doesn't just rap about pimpin hos and gettin money. That's simply not true. Rappers/Groups like Mr. Lif, CunninLynguists, Jedi Mind Tricks, Solillaquists of Sound ect. rap differently than the mainstream. I listen to "political" and "gangsta" so I try to give all rap a chance. Just keep listening to different sounds you never know what you might find.

[alexanderj]

lupe is just different from the others, sings about REAL stuff, not booty poppin an shit. I think if he goes a little more, he could could make some really really great stuff.

[ajaxSAF]

Lol, I love those people at the end of the video. I want to meet you, people.

[jellybeanzzz7]

such an amazing song. so damn talented

[kingjinga]

Flesh n Bone has way better rhyme schemes and I don't think he's a genius. His flow sounds nice mostly due to his beats. Good may be an understatement, but genius is an overstatement.

[kingjinga]

I don't listen to the radio. I understand 90% of the songs are indeed bullshit, but still just because Lupe doesn't spout bullshit makes his a genius? I wouldn't think so.

Metaphors and similes? I hate to say it, but Lil Wayne and Kanye West make good metaphors and similes. Hell, I make good metaphors and similes, it's not incredibly difficult.

[gianfrancozola]

Alright, I see your comment. But you can really only make your arguement valid if you've listened to most of Lupe's songs.

Go listen to 'Gotta Eat', and tell me that isn't the best analogy-song you've heard in a while.

I'll bet you can't even catch half the double-entendres. Most people still think it's a song predominantly about fast-food habits, and the fast-food industry. It really isn't.

[kevinsterm]

no just no lil wayne is bull s**t

[kingjinga]

lol that was my point. Lupe is not the best rapper alive. While the title of "best" is heavily based on opinion, Lupe isn't quite in that group, but he's close I'm sure he'll be there soon if he doesn't fall off. TI is trash he's nothing compared to Lupe. He also openly lies.

"Anyone having trouble with their record sales holla 'Tip'"

Why? So you can charge them 20 Gs a verse?

[kingjinga]

I like Lupe's music, and I think he's a good lyricist, but I don't understand why people think he's a "genius" or "savior to rap".

[remix1on1]

i'll tell you why. Turn your radio on..put it on a hip-hop station listen to the songs and compare them to lupe...yeah fucking greatness from lupe..trash from mainstream. He is so fresh and his flow is incredible..

[themystic9922]

It's because his metaphors and smilies are insane- many have two or three different meanings ex. "Failure", "Dumb it down". He also uses many extended metaphors ex. second verse on "Mean and Vicious".

His rhyming schemes are excellent ex. Any song, his flow is excellent ex. "Switch" or "Go Go Gadget flow", he stays on topic better than most ex. Any song, he tells a GREAT story ex. "The Coolest", "Streets on Fire"

He is, at the very least, a GREAT lyricist (not just good).

[bliatzed]

because he relates to people

[btl743]

dis guys a freakin mastermind

[Stickman786]

Lupe = Beast Lil Wayne = Little Bitch

hahahahaha just compare lyrics

[D4017]

Under rated all I got to say

[common11sense]

so i hear no screams and i shed no tear

if i'm in your dreams then your end is near

WOW

[889BeastMode988]

Lupe to good

[fiftycent12]

My favourite song since Amerikaz Most Wanted.

[missiekatt]

this is a really good song i luv it...

[hermeezeY]

if anyone is gonna save Rap

its Lupe Fiasco

[BlakGlasses]

Lupe is the best dude to come out in a long time. He knows what hip hop means to him and his people, he knows what real music is. Hes bringing it back with the story telling type of music.

[JohnnyLuuVietnam]

"he robe the candy shop, tell to lay down on the floor, put the cookies in bag,take the candies out of the draw.

Seriously. lupe is a mortal. and this probally my fav song of all time.

[richter3456]

retiring...u serious??? no way!

[jmart25]

at the end of the last song on this album he mentions that "lup-end" will be his last album i think

[mc14halo]

fortunately its albumS and not album..its gonna be 3 disc....

[higherlearning3000]

A great rapper and artist of all time. He legacy will live through me. I love consicous rap.

[ianets15]

Lupe Fiasco is real and one of the best rappers, he's nice!!!!!!!!

[123456789gabbi]

now yall shud kno lil wayne isnt tha best, its eminem, lupe, jay z, nas, tip, jeezy, and MAYBE kanye

[mylopsp2606]

eminem retired. jay-z is old [lame], nas. haven heard from him n a while either. t.i.p. is dope. jeezy???? hell nah. its the game, lupe, kanye.

[kkuhl15]

eminem is coming out with a new album this december

[mahones403]

Nas came out wit a Cd, Untitled, in the summer and it was sick....and Em is commin out wit a new CD...but ya Game and Lupe sick n jay gettin old n boring. TIP dont impress me that much but he do make good music

[XXALLSTAR007XX]

What??? Jigga man, lame? You full of shit.

[onlinepimp3]

lil wayne and lupe fiasco are the best rappers the world has right now they should make a song together no better yet they should make a whole album

[Despien]

Lil Wayne is lame, Amili wtf?  T.I. is the best current rapper.

[asslesschap182]

T.I. is fake shit

[missiekatt]

mmm hmm

[thatkidvitya]

i wish lupe would release these kind of songs and not superstar. i like superstar but songs like this need to be on the radio to open peoples eyes on the world and what hip hop is.

[blackjoshcc]

ahhah lupe>kanye

and this is about the children in africa. the war down there over goverment trying to be overthrown and how the kids are being abducted and tortoured and turned into soldiers.

[sambozulu123]

he is good but kanye west is better..

[THEPHILLYFIGHTER]

it is about war u bastards

[gwtree18]

this is greater than any of the crap that comes on tv or on the radio....this is genious...and if he leaves the game like he plans than hip hop will truly will have lost a brilliant lyrisist (however u spell it)... in my opinion he might be better than Biggie himself

[kotrt3]

He is a lyrical genius. If he leaves the game after is next album hip-hop will be dead

[ballernike92]

great song!

[mrkidd1]

inthe beggining it not lupe because his voice is gay

[DjRadafi]

i think it is, i think he's just doing the thing pac used to do in his early work, like on souljahs story...

[43dflo43]

i agree

[NeoPickle]

he dosent get enough credit it makes me so pissed of, because idiots don't want to actually listen to what he says

[L3g1tp1n0y]

I Love This Song , Anybody know where i could get the sheet for the snare drum ?

[Burrbaby03]

I <3 him

[bowservswario]

this is good

[sign150]

Lyricaly So Smart Lyracly...

[jessjess78910]

by far the best modern rapper in the world.. so fly

[AZmab7]

lupe fiasco is way better than t-pain and lil wayne, im sick and tired of hearing lil wayne mumble and t-pain's annoying voice

[JasonsWolf]

I heard that. Maybe if Lil Wayne would open his mouth some more, we could actually understand him.

[harlemzown]

That snare drum sample made this song THAT much better.

[MagicAssasin]

Damn...Lupe Fiasco..He's one of my faves along with Tupac and Eminem...Don't forget Flobots and Hollywood Undead..

Simply amazing. Sad about children that are raised like this. With no conscious, no free will. No chance at a normal life.

[yeaboymanidude]

this shitts all over the crter 3

[XxBeelzeBubxX]

For the most part he's referring to the brainwashed child terrorists. You can clearly see he's referring to children that were trained to use guns and bombs to commit suicide bombings.

[soulslayerBLAST]

i bought this CD yesterday bcuz of this song, its amazing, nuff said

[KaratieKid007]

THE CARTER III ...... BeST

[chicagocitykc312]

stfu

[Crazural]

WTF?
