Lupe Fiasco-The Instrumental

[vandalification]

@Shyman896 hahah so true i didnt know mclovin was a rapper

[aLuCaRDpT]

ignore video, enjoy music

[liihkn]

damn ppl, stop being racists !! f***, ppl like these dont have dreams or nothin else to do and think that r the best in the world, grow up and do sth good for this damn shit of home we call WORLD

[kennethcole02]

nice track again

lupe is the man :)

[awisrippin]

was the guy with the hat McLovin?

haha

[KindOfRocka1]

Why are white people better then black people ?? ..me myself i am white. .... we are both humans we are both organisms . the only reason that those people have a other skin color is because they or there grandparents or parents have lived more closer to the equator ,,, ... still this is a music video not a political thing

[blaze3422160]

yo tideofwar shut the fuck up you racis piece of shit! anytime i hear about you and your kkk buddies i just wanna kick your asses. if i knew who you were i'd shove my foot so far up your ass it'd come out your mouth! go to hell asshole!

[ninjacobra]

Is this the original official video or what..?

[sicknastybroseph]

McLovin? is that you?

[godseed242]

LMFAO!!! I was wondering the same thing. lol

[IEATLAVA21]

the kid trying to rap looks a little like mclovin haha

but umm alright video you got the point acrooss

[HyourinmaruToushiro]

The dude playing lupe ruins the video. Not only does he not look right his attempts at lookin like he's rappin are terrible. he looks like he's never seen a rap video.

[4022824]

chill thier white they dont kno any better

[melvinmaverick]

u pathetic and out of the question,i bet my life u would not say this to anyone who hates racism,or any black man.matter fact im not even black and i would hurt u kid.

[rockle18]

McLovin as lupe?

[yesprep32]

this is fukin gay....

[OGKProductions]

this was really good vid

[novanemesis]

Great great great cinematography...whoever directed, filmed, and edited it are genius. The acting's incredible, too. Thanks for making a music video worth watching...I've prolly seen this about thirty times now (:

[Lskisocc98]

bunch of high school outcasts. fags.

[willis73h1337]

Best cut high school or college vid I've seen in... A long time. As soon as you get a real budget you'll go places -- the concept, directing, editing, etc. were all really great.

[athillake]

Very well done. I didn't expect to think after watching a music video, but this was amazing...

[a2dsmusic]

well done!!

[rparacha]

though whether it is pushed intentionally or unintentionally it must be stopped either way. the media (including sitcoms, dramas, etc) is one of the greatest threats to civilization today. Humans are becoming more consumed to a narrow view through their institutions that a nine to five is the ONLY way of life. People fail to think why insurances (one of the biggest legal scams) are forced upon us. Not only that but car insurance has become mandatory in California. For what reason?

[krijgd3herpes]

what is this song about

[rparacha]

its about how television can be used to manipulate people's views and also to dumb down ppl...the media is in direct control with the government in order to further agenda. Lupe is not the only rapper in the mainstream to push this view. Nas's new CD "Nigger" attempts to exploit the US government's agenda in dumbing down black America through television (i.e. most black ppl are COMEDIANS, gangsters, athletes, or criminals on TV). Humans learn from an early age, thru mimicing others. basic anthro

[hmawardi]

amen to that brother

[PladdinMardin]

I love the part from 2.24 to 2.42 :)

[HoldYourWingsBack]

lol u jews.

[FarBeyondDriven67]

[JLeo777]

ROFL I just laughed so much man .. omg. Like tears and snot, like the real LMAO. wow... THAT GUY THAT looks like McLovin, that dude is the shit. rofl made my day.

[yonkerstudent]

[MakenZero]

[CorinthB]

"You are not being brainwashed"

[seantaylor8921]

[HOSEDAGREAT]

the dude with the hat looks like mclovin

[seanmacaonghusa]

thats hilarious , especially the guy with the hat ... comedy is a cruel mistress

[trustbuts]

good job

[DJZanark]

Is this song solely by Lupe Fiasco or does it ft. Fort Minor?

[SamaTheGreat]

It doesn't ft Fort Minor but it is produced by Mike Shinoda. It features Jonah Matranga.

[kenyankidd]

that was really good. u guys should keep doing what you're doing. the only thing i didn't like was that nerdy kid with the hat rapping in front of the building, it kinda messed the whole thing up

[dh144498]

yall haters need to chill out, these kids aren't steven spielberg ffs with oscars, so give them a break.

[dh144498]

video's not bad.

[armmadillo]

ey kid you did a good fuckin job dont listen to these assholes i like this video, especially the fact that its children IN SCHOOL who made this video because kids who endure this country corrupt fucking education are the ones who need to hear this message, fuckthe tv i shot a whole in mine when the president started talkin bout katrina and 911 i like this video maybe if people looked past the fact its a white kid with braces they might fuck around and learnsummn

[pomplemoose]

im just surprised kids like these arent listning to the shit music on the radio...lol kudos to them...lol

[JayOwnsHard]

Sorry but you really did not understand the song and you kinda just made your own story for the main character, btw please learn how to lip synch a tiny bit that was brutal =/

[beverwaard]

is this the real videoclip??

i would be better if lupe was played by a dude that had a darker skin than him...:P

[GhostOfSparta11]

what kind of FAG would wear a KISS shirt and rap LupeFiasco? u gay or sumthing?

[OldTexasPete]

Wow that was horrible. These kids missed the entire point of the song.

[Azuki44]

abrutis, ces gars sont des génies.

[eric04h]

watup everyone! I uploaded a SHITLOAD of instrumentals and imma be uploading 10-20more everyday..so be sure to bookmark this link

freewebs . com/djazmatic/

[gtillest]

Who the fuck r these dumbass kids? Im pretty sure Lupe didnt hire these fuckin morons. WTF man. Friggin bunch of poser punks who fuckin ruin songs like this. How did this get 4 outta 5? goes 2 show that ppl did it outta sympathy so these kids dun kill themselves aftr seeing bad reviews. U SUCK!

[DaCorbster]

they are pretty white, but atleast they get the message... this is what lupe wanted to convey to us... good message, and a decent vid to convey it... thats why i gave it 4/5...

[DeathByPlane00]

"And he never lies, because he never says anything at all" is sampled from a song called "Nestle" by an awesome band called "Far"

[firtyfwee]

Trash ,total trash ,awesome song ;retards made a video

[pleasestay]

this would be good if the actors werent retarded geeks,

actually everyone was good apart from the queer in the hat who was trying to rap

[MrAliasWasHere]

ur right

[Loewenthal1]

quite cool, lol

[ross227]

McClovin

[whiteboyzproduktions]

REVENGE OF THE NERDS! hahaha

[alenys]

great clip. the idea is briliant. just like the song

[vonthadon]

Lupe is a beast

[Run4TheRabid]

this is a really stupid video fyi

[JTKumario]

You just can't follow it.

Straight up McLovin lol. Madden 07, BTW.

[pomplemoose]

lol thats where i heard it..but ive like d lupe longer than ive liked pro football....lol

[hoodstar72188]

Madden 08 right there(I luv'd this song)

[tommy5977]

madden 07

[hoodstar72188]

lol your right cuzo, thanx fam

[britw25]

One thing to note when decrypting this song is to see if lupe really lives by the standards he presents in this song. Im not saying he doesn't live by them but check before you give lupe credit for being the best lyricist. Also im sure that most of you have sat here and listened to this song multiple times and have begun to try and live by this song and not watch tv and in by doing that you guys are being brainwashed by the song and living by the "box". Think for yourself. Great song though

[01hdav]

good point, I appreciate the song but by no means do I live my life by it, I do what I want and still don't let the media control me.

[yahhh123456]

this is a very powerful song, it should be taken seriously.

[dagame81790]

i dont think you understand what the song is about...

[FashiionMonsteR]

yall look stupid as fuckk`!

[xFruity2Shoesx]

this isnt even lupe lol XD

[chivasrocks]

who signs it and whats it called?

[Wootnezz]

Lupe sings it...

The instrumental but some people call it Never Lies

[xFruity2Shoesx]

Jonah Matranga sings it...Mike Shinota produced it

[Run4TheRabid]

ur dumb

[xFruity2Shoesx]

hes the white guy apparently tryna act black according to some of these posts

[Mr3pic]

lmfao

this is funny

stop taking this to seriously everyone its just a joke

im black and i dont see it being racist

[yahhh123456]

where do you see ANY racism in this video ?

[TC3t]

Wow this is kind of unbelievable

First of all one of the major components to Lupe's music is the message in his lyrics, which makes unsubtle messages in videos irrelevant, like the guy with the cliche sayings on the cardboard. Lupe's music doesn't need visuals to get his point across.

But seriously the guy with the blazer and fedora is hilarious I can't tell if he's trying to be Lupe but he is ridiculous in a way like I can't take him seriously

[qbprince23]

silly crackers XD

[uefa347]

jajajajajajajajajajajajaja

u all suckk

specially the retarded guy with a hat..

dude..

just grow up

[bigishsmallishblack]

theres no diffrence between acting black white yellow w.e your all racist fucks !

[bigishsmallishblack]

wtf is this this isnt an actul lupe fiasco video ???????????????? and the white guy doin the rapping ... lupes voice dosnt suit him

[mahuzernam]

viscious. amazing:)

[monstermanll]

wow retarded white boys trying to be black ... especially the white asshole dressed like a pimp

[NYGallday]

yea its not a instument its the name of the song duuuuur

[ReeseGunna]

the song is called "the instrumental" u half-life...suck on ya girls dick.

[getstuffFREE]

What do the lyrics to this song mean? "The boxes?"

[rohstyles23]

The lies that mass media like FoxNews tells so many lies hints TV Lies.

[d0ubled3e]

LOL! Is it just me, or does that guy look like Fogol.

[ThaObserver]

watch my Lupe - instrumental video... see if you all like it

[marshy72]

what the hell does it have to do with the song

[PandaStoleMyPuppies]

what happened in that vid...

[prtyflyf0awitegi]

thats freakin sweet CHECK OUT CLASS 6

[gggnarly]

hahahahah mclovin!!!!

[icedus229]

the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nindrokles]

this song is so awesome

[Ledezz7]

had nothing to do with the song....

[pattywac333]

Great song good video but i didnt like it when the one kid was trying to lip sync if u had put some thing else there it would have been great

[derbyrandom1]

fuck the video, the track is amazin. lupes real

[TGWXYUGWE]

lupe is a beast

[yonkerstudent]

yeah this is about tv and drugs

[mcstereo]

MCLOVIN!!!!!!

[interforce1]

MCLOVIN

[NauticalOne]

It's apparent that you have to use what has the peoples focus. If it were newspapers that controlled the media today lupe fiasco would have been the best reporter instead of the best raper. Printing his own paper or at least trying to print articles in the biggest name newspaper.

[2Stimorol2Fusion]

OMG didnt know that lupe raped peaple.. sad.. and that he is the best raper OMG!?!?!?! are you sure?? this is disgusting...

[m1207643457052]

lmaooo

[sugarrrxxx]

umm, yeah, the person obviously meant rapper.

its called a typo

[cheapromance]

love the video, and love the song<3

[Shadowlolz]

wow thas a really good way to put it. but i just listen to the song cuz it remeinds me when hip-hop had meaning

[The3point14]

Not bad. I enjoyed this video, its a great song.

[JeremysVideos]

Because it's obvious.. "He just sits, and listens to the people in the boxes.

Everything he hears he absorbs and adopts it.

Anything not coming out the box he blocks it.. Anything the box tell him to do, he does it. Anything it tell him to get, he shops and he cops it.. you can't tell me just who you are. You buy new clothes just to hide those scars. You built that roof just to hide those stars. Now you can't take it back to the start." it's about t.v., isolation and buying into pop culture.

[RaynorJJJ]

i think its funny because you promote that the medias bad using media

[jellybeen]

seeee! there u go. GREAT observation!

[Ltsm1ley]

way to look deeper than reality jesus it's about the media in general but he uses the television as an outlook because it is probably the most picturesque symbol of the media

[yonkerstudent]

hw instumental

[yonkerstudent]

the instumenatl

[yonkerstudent]

that the shit too

[Griswald535]

Awesome video! It's great to see people rejecting the false, mindless, reality that television promotes.

[M3TALLICA444]

@ 2:05 it looks like Chris Angel

[DIB09]

this song is all about tv no drugs hes talkin about how people live by tv what ever the tv says hes implying they have no opinion thats why he says they never lie cus he never said nuthing at all cus he only says what he hears on tv and any thing they till him to get he shops and he cops it its no deeper then that ur over thinking it and its true cus you see now a days all the little jits and wanna bes dressing talking and acting just like their favorite tv idol

[mjrule24]

this song is about a kid addicted to television.

[jabberteeth]

Not at all bro, not even close...

[chaseLaHue]

good song the song doesnt make sense really

[juulliiiieeee]

the song is talking about the tv**

[juulliiiieeee]

well, i like the video, but i don't think that the song is talking about the song...

i think it's talking about drugs, about how drugs are taking over the persons life.

but, that is just what i get from the song.

[chazmcmicheals69]

what is the box supposed to be

[JehuImSoCool]

It means the TV.

[jabberteeth]

It's more than that, it's media, and how it influences the main character in this song. It also refers to drugs controlling his mind and his addiction. The characters, not Lupe

[VashtheStampede17]

mclovin on the track lol

[kcajsnave]

yo damn good job

[narehs1]

the kid has his hair spiked inside but when he comes out his hair is straight. but this is sweet song
