[shyning2]

@RaiptYou its a remix ,

[RaiptYou]

@shyning2 how do you know?

[shyning2]

@RaiptYou because there's an original song, and barely any of the songs from lupes old mixtapes were made with the original artist.

[theusername843]

is the beginning skit from a movie or something, or is made just for this song?

[Talentz92]

@theusername843 I know your comment's like 7 months old but it seems that no one replied, anyways the beginning skit is from the movie Superfly (1972)

[MyKingjunior]

This should have been on an album

[cicerosfinest]

dis is 1na da realest songs hes ever made.. love dis nkka 2 cuz he reps 4 da struggle dat ppl go thru in da chi. hes speaks his mind without dumbing shit or da chi dwn

[theotherside9]

@cicerosfinest truth. if you haven't already, you should listen to 'dumb it down' by lupe

[SparkyArtz]

Lupe, Thank you for reintroducing REAL HipHop/Rap into mainstream society. <33

[EazySPM]

What do you guys think he meant by "no woman waits for a man with time on his hands"?

In my opinion, I think he means that no woman waits to fuck if the man's got a nice watch (or nice jewelry). That's my take on it.

[Gamfreek462]

@EazySPM I disagree, I think he's trying to say that, no woman wants to be with a man that has nothing but free time. Basically, she ain't gonna be wit nobody who ain't doin' somthin wit his life. So, if all you see is success from drug dealers and no woman will be with you if your not doing something, then you gotta start dealin'.

[EazySPM]

@Gamfreek462 Yeah I was thinking that was another possibility too. I don't know though, both are dope possibilities. Specially since this is Lu this might have 2 meanings lol

[Gamfreek462]

@EazySPM I take that back. I think he means, no woman will wait for a man in prison.

[EazySPM]

@Gamfreek462 Haaaa snap. Came with a third possibility, shit. Might have to get a hold of Lu and ask him.

[TheBillman4]

some body please upload the scarface remix

[fritul0]

[k0narti5t]

Pac was great, even legendary. His time is over, there is a new generation of rap and hip-hop.

[jetdatboy]

@k0narti5t Wrong. A legends time is never over. Especially when his music transcends time. Pac is the Greatest.

[k0narti5t]

@jetdatboy Pac is a legend. What I'm saying is you have to focus more on the music that is presently being made rather than keep comparing it to all the older dope 90s stuff. Its people who keep comparing these new generation of rappers to kool g, wu, biggie tupac etc that keep saying bullshit like hip hop is dead instead of understanding hip hop is just evolving.

[jetdatboy]

@k0narti5t If I focused more on music presently being made I would be doing the Dougie or bumping Oj Juiceman(lame)....We have to compare the new rappers to the old if we want to progress...And I haven't as yet seen a rapper that came with more soul or pain in his voice than Tupac....If you say its evolving why is it sounding like shit....

[k0narti5t]

@jetdatboy Its sounding like shit because you've been listening to shit, OJ the juiceman? The fuck is that ? You obviously haven't looked very hard. The likes of Talib Kweli, Big Boi, Brother Ali, Atmosphere and even Kanye West, Wale, and J.Cole have been coming out with some dope shit lately. You want some pain? Head over to the underground from the likes of CunninLynguists, AOTP, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique.

[DaProlifik1reaLyrics]

@k0narti5t hip hop isn't dead at all, more alive than ever, but mainstream hip hop was killed purposefully by coorperations. BET, MTV Jams, mainstream radio etc.....poison for the soul

[DrAbstracked]

@DaProlifik1reaLyrics Agreed, it's just artists in the mainstream and on the Billboard that make it seem like it, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Nicki Minaj, Eminem and etc. All annoy me to death.

However if you look I think Hip-hop is at it's peak so many amazing artists out there these days.

[Yuckers724]

@k0narti5t word to that, theres still the diamonds in the rough nowadays. joe budden, mood muzik 4. prime example.

[JohnnyGatThaSaint]

This song is madd!

[duckman085]

good shit

[ashl33bab33]

LOOOOL okok

[nailamos]

YO ASHLEY WATCH HOW IT FLOWS FROM 1:45

[subsystem101]

AceofSpade29 you're the ingnorant

[subsystem101]

BTNHwishbone=idiot

modern day rapper whos 10 times the lyricist pac was. learn your place please =fail

pac is 10 better than modern rapper

you learn your place fucken ignorant

[dgreen305]

lupe actually is an old skool rapper, he used to talk about da gangsta shit in da 90's... now hes cleaned it up to a positive prospective. and im tired of people so stuck up on pac, just becuz da rappers are new, dnt mean dey aint just a lil bit more lyrical den pac..

[ihunter88]

@dgreen305

no one aint gonna be more lyrical

in pac....tupac lyrics are getting studied in Harvard and other prestiges law schools.what other rapper you know doing that?

[dgreen305]

"ihunter" please send me proof of this...

[weepaul666]

Wait til Lupe gets killed in cold blood.

"You aint nobody... til somebody kills you"

[LBG070]

Lupe aint gonna get killed anytime soon. He ain't the self destructive person that tupac was, that BIG was, that proof was. these people essentially got themselves killed. and I'm not downtalkin them, they were made self destructive by their environment. humans are a self destructive species as a whole not just on an individual level

[thespursareadynasty]

@ihunter88 we studied K'naan lyrics at my college (not even close to harvard) but ye tupac not the only one and even if he was i wouldnt say he was the most lyrical ever. i wouldnt say that about any rapper. its art yo there is no better or worse in art its people's opinions

[omarelqoulaq]

this songs probably in lupes top 5 which is saying A LOT

[boveriscool]

but it's beautiful here, nothing like the feeling wen u do it from here.

[topmcat]

** gotta reap what you sow, grow where you till here.**

[Mrlatereg]

ya mama weaped where you sold, cause you was killed there

[topmcat]

hip hop is poetry. or.... at least it should be.

[iBeChamp]

@topmcat I wish it was a course in high school

[solider4lyf]

@topmcat hip hop is nuthin less than poetry. some fools forget that.

[solider4lyf]

@topmcat hip hop is nuthin less than poetry. some fools that try and make it forget that.

[wojtacho93]

It's so damn good...

[whatdoyouwantandwhy]

Man, this song brings back memories.
