Lupe Fiasco Enemy Of The State 04. Yoga Flame

[DevinThaGreat1993]

tears like a black rap Zach Galifianakis...

Tears = Wayne (tears tatted on his face)

Zach Galifianakis = famous for his one liners

This was an elaborate diss on Wayne. Entire track was layered with them. Don't let em go over your head...

[mistanderson]

RIP to Lil Wayne's beat. LUPE JUST MURDER IT

[Buckaz31]

the one thing wrong with this song is...... it finished :(

[straightedge76]

This is the definition of rapping TO a beat.... Not just rapping OVER a beat. Simply masterful.

[Bad07BoyZ]

@straightedge76 Exactly!

[SeeK1n]

@clarissab2010 he shouts them out not as a diss but because those were the 7 hottest rappers of the year who all talked about Druqs.Women.Money.Cars.Fame. nd he says "im not qon to drop my name" because he doesnt need to rap about any of those thinqs to be a qood rapper/lyricist. He also says "sneak that messaqe to the masses yuh can call me chocolate rain" because chocolate rain was a sonq made by Tay Zonda nd everybody takes it as a joke when in reality there is a WAY DEEPER meaninq to it

[SwitchFlipKid323]

I am Patrick shwayze you a whoopy Goldberg, cause he was a beast and the way that he controlled her.

[TheAceKannon]

My Net Worth is Basketball

HOLY SANTA CLAUSE SHIT !

[brom59]

Does anyone hear a verse... think about it... then get the chills because its so nice

I hope im not the only one

[smokintheblaze]

Lupe must know Yipes from the MVC2 tournaments. Oro Munroe (Storm from X-men, famous for making a hailstorm of Ice rain down on opponents) make it rain? This guy is lyrically insane. The best.

[TheNewGuy03]

@catonsuckaas he says, "I'm not going to drop my name" -- because he dropped the names of several rappers right before that.

|the kid|

[clarissab2010]

so everyone he "shouted" out to on here is a diss? sorry if this is a dumb question haha but just tryna get my thoughts straight cuz i know Lupe Rulez them...

[jkmitchell92]

street fighter sales are gonna be up this quarter lol

[1214gooner]

The best rapper alive murdered "the best rapper alive"... hangover, game-over, brotha that's it... Yoga Flame...

[JLPIMPIN1992]

The best rapper in hip-hop rapping over the song I believe single handedly started the decline of hip-hop. My brain is going to explode. Lupe is untouchable and always will be, but Wayne is the worst thing to happen to hip-hop and this beat is from his first big single. This is really kind of symbolic of what hip-hop has become (the beat) and what it could be (the lyrics)

[TheRealMoney3]

Hardest shit I heard

[InHancedTLOMusic]

Chocolate rain xD

[aleckzander07]

Lupe so dooooooope

[PCozz94]

This whole 22 minute mixtape is better than 99% of all hip-hop out today.

[MrJjfranklin2]

OMG THIS GUY TOOK A WRISTBAND, TURNED INTO A CHAIN, AND TURNED INTO SOMETHING THAT CAN PULLUP THE GAME BY THE BRAINS

Really Lupe? WOW

[dupballer32]

Does anyone not see how underrated lupe is.this guy is a genuis

[justice1991MC]

killing these rapper

[dlicious03]

lyrical genius!! wayne shouldnt even be put in the same sentence as lupe, unless the sentence is "wayne is the worst rapper alive and he is the dog shit under lupes shoe"

[antifapunx]

wow, what the fuck happened to lupe's rap?

one too many dollars

[blue12208]

@antifapunx WRONG!!! His making fun of all the rappers on Mtv hottest rappers because he wasn't on it.

[bptchargers]

@antifapunx nigga you have to listen to the lyrics its like failure retard dont listen to lupe if you stupid

[chanx360]

Lupe is a G!

[DeathandGrim2]

Lupe fuckin lit Lil Wayne on fire with his own song

[roke187]

Drizzy!

[philxx100]

@roke187 lmao!

[wiiboii16]

@kanYeCuDI1436: yea dude i kno lupe would kill drakee regardless lol i jus wanted to see if anyone would say drake that way i can diss the fuk outta them lol

[wiiboii16]

[sodapop1001]

[KanYeCuDi1436]

@wiiboii16 DUDE are you serious!! lupe goes hard with lyrics!!!! Lupe raps better

Drake..... well.......................... he probally got fucked by lil wayne haha

[mister0550]

Is anybody else listing to these lyrics??.....un Freaking touchable  ....

Lupe Fiasco: (Loo -pay Fee -ask -o) n. :raps Einstein

[EDZiLLUH]

@hoffyy Lupe Fiasco isnt going to go off on Lil Wayne for no reason. he is obviously rapping on one of his beats why the hell would he roast on Wayne for.? people gotta stop jumping into conclusions

[freshprince58]

u can ride my shoulder, l

ike they put u over,

i sit in the driver seat,

u set on the sofer

i am patrick swayze,

u r whoopi goldberg,

cause he was a beast and the way that he controled her..

the flow on that line is epic..lupe cannot be touched..FUCK wayne

[Jrust139]

its funny to see when someone features on wayne's shit, or does a sample, that's when you see everyone talkin so much shit on wayne. everyone needs to realize that no matter what wayne is a piece of shit. lupe goes hard as fuck!!!!

[DaWorldsHope]

I ain't no Katt Williams but..... as Katt Williams would say........

Remember the No Ceilings mix tape from last week nigga

Its nothin nigga its nothin

This shit right here nigga

This shit right here nigga

Right here this shit nigga.....

This shit is go hard nigga!!!

[PCozz94]

Lil Wayne's lyrics don't have any meaning to them at all. Just a bunch of money and women bullshit.

[hoffyy]

Lil Wayne is fucking wack first off. Lupe took shots at him on his own song "I am patrick suazy you're whoopie goldburg" get it? whoopie and lil Wayne got the same hair I mean come on seriously lil Wayne is nowhere near Lupe

[OnigumaruSan]

"Black rap Zach Galifianakis" Lupe is INSANE!

[jesseclifton]

@OnigumaruSan explain?

[leelee459]

50, Wayne, Drake, Kanye, Jeezy, and Gucci.....They were all on that stupid MTV list...thats why hes not going to drop his name...

[Blacctophustla]

i like lupe and weezy but i kno that lupe is a better lyricist than wayne. sheesh why can't we just like both. no one ever said that we had to like one relax.

[RPIComedy]

@will773312

You sir are the retardation of real hip-hop go back to your silly rap

You won't be able to handle lasers.

[RPIComedy]

Oh and btw ororo munroe is Storms real name from X-men...this is clearly a diss on the cool...rofl WHY WOULD HE SHOUT OUT TO GUCCI MANE the most paid idiot next to lil wayne

[RPIComedy]

@WILL773312

he disses him by saying all those lyrics using jewelry because at the end he says he couldn't move the game with just brains ( intelligent lyrics ) so he had to use bling ...and was basically saying thanks to lil wayne gucci mane and all those wack rappers

OBVIOUSLY went over your head thats why he didnt drop his name and said sneak that message to the masses call it chocolate rain ROFL i had to dumb it down for these people.

[ecko72392]

and he mentioned all them nikkas because he is too good to be put in da same sentence he better than all them nikkas

[4Aid]

lupe is a fuqqin beast

[alex8968]

Amazing. thats about al I can say aboutt this. =]

[ginjisan2kool07]

"i am patrick swayze you are whoopie goldberg

cause he was a beast in the way that he controlled her"

....damn...thats all i got to say

[will773312]

How does he dis wayne on dis track....wen he sed shouts out 2 wayne.....he showin respect 4 dis craz beat 4 him 2 kill

[rocklobstarr333]

he mentioned all those rappers including wayne and then says..."im not gonna drop my name" like hes too good to be mentioned in the same sentence...and then just to make sure it was a diss he says..."sneak that msg to the masses u can call me chocolate rain" get it?

[TJC859]

That's not his purpose. He might be better than all of em, but he put them there cause he likes them. He's never mentioned himself being better than anyone specifically.

ManOnTheMoon909 has it right.

[rocklobstarr333]

guy...he keeps on dissing them after he mentions there names...he says they net worth is soccer games,tell them niggas stop it mayne...continue on to him saying..these niggas slower than some dial up,havnt u noticed before he said there names he didnt have any diss sentences in his bars,and right after he says there names he starts attacking

[TJC859]

He's not talking about them, everybody knows 50, Wayne, Drake, Kanye, Jeezy, and Gucci has way more money than Lupe.

When he says they slower than dial up he means they are slow to understand him. Not to mention he and Kanye are probably in the studio trying to make something now.

[jnasty00]

He kills this whole mixtape best lyricist alive

[HS32153]

I think he goes at Wayne on the sly tip. Especially after the net worth rhyme. Youve gotta listen to it a few a times like my man told me too.

[DonovanJayWade]

I think he did diss him! After listening to it over and over I can hear it! xD

[princeh10]

I be on my Broadband these niggas still downloading????

WHO DOES THAT......

WAYNE BETTER SMOKE A FAT ASS BLUNT SO HE CAN FATHOM THIS SHIT.....

STRAIGHT ASS BEATING....

[hectorfosho22]

this makes sense you're dumb cause you don't understand it. lil wayne is another one of those so called "gangsters"..

[princeh10]

why am i dumb? And were does he being a gangster have to do with this.

Please shut your mouth and never open it again unless u have decent words to let out.

[bluefire199]

@princeh10 hahahaha agreed

[philxx100]

@princeh10 It means they are slow

just like you

[fiascoking23]

I want the single to be "Two Ways" cuz that snippet was crazy! Lol. Either way it don't matter.

[BoyOH5]

I know this comment was 2 months ago but That snippet is part of a song called Beautiful Lasers

[fiascoking23]

vvv... Paper Trail was T.I.'s latest album. And all we know about L.A.S.E.R.S. is that it's dropping early next year.

[cburna804]

LUPE!!!! man you cant even describe this man.. AMAZING

[K71090]

"Birthday Word play, piece of cake"-Man! Lupe is like a chef, he chop it up and serve the people word of thought through hip hop

[WhoKilledKenn]

Lmaoo.

Why is Wayne even in the video Comments?

He's Wack.

Not even a Floor Mat For Lupe.

[character4thought]

@WhoKilledKenn lmao @ not even a floor mat!!!!!!! tis true i do concur

[lCL0UDl9]

@WhoKilledKenn its becuz he was dissin him in this track

[Neeks4215]

@WhoKilledKenn prolly cuz this song uses the beat from lil wayne - fireman

[WhoKilledKenn]

@Neeks4215 I guess. But this a

No Wayne Environment.

[Neeks4215]

@WhoKilledKenn also he mentions wayne in the song... jus sayin. lol

[Chingchang1234567890]

you can't even compare lil wayne to Lupe.

[flightx3]

bro lil wayne is garbage. straight up wackness. and no ceilings could never top this anyway possible. completely destroyed every track on this mix.

[JumpWorldz]

"rest in peace to rap no rest in peace to wackness" LOL

best rapper alive right here

[fiascoking23]

Every time I listen to this I like it more and more. I try to make myself believe that he can't get any better yet he does it over and over and continues to prove me wrong. I guess I just don't want to accept that somebody can actually be this great! LMAO. Keep doing your thing Lupe! The G.O.A.T.

[moemoney9988]

Lupe is the truth! If you a really understand where the world is going and what the plan of the world is you'll appriecate Lupe even more. Wayne is a great rapper but people are getting tired of him talking about (bitches, money,weed). Oyea Lupe mentions the new world order in some of his lyrics. Go check it out on YouTube. Stop the bs for ten minutes and get some knowledge ppl. Findout what they got planned for america.

[fiascoking23]

Actually he says, "I'm not going to *drop my name" not *brought... vvv

[josh4911]

yEs He Is GeTTiN At WaNye Nd aLL Th3 raPPERz He said THat Y He said iM NoT Gonna BrouGHt My nam3

WhiCh All THose GuYZ are TrasH

[ehoward9438]

this is raw,but i love what he saying

[fiascoking23]

@ Jamaica: Nas is irrelevant to this convo. About him not giving a "shout out" to Jay along with those other rappers cuz they were all on the MTV's hottest mc list is what i'm talking about. He has too much respect for Jay, cuz those "shout outs" i'm sure was sarcasm, hence "i'm not going to drop my name" he knows he's lyrically above them. But it seems like a very "hidden but well said" diss at Wayne.

[Canuk7fnf]

its not "shout" its shot etc...

[fiascoking23]

Yeah Lupe is untouchable! I'm expecting "L.A.S.E.R.S." to be very "out of the box" in a way. If it's a couple mainstream singles, so be it. He wants to be mentioned amongst the best. Regardless, LUPE forever!

[ballerinnyc]

Lupe Fiasco is not the greatest rapper ever; He's just better then any one who ever picked up a Mic.

[PoloBoyPrince]

I also think he's tryin to build a new and larger fan base by rappin over these mainstream beats. Once he knw that his fanbase is gettin larger he'll start doing what he usually do. This is why I also think that he's releasin anothe mixtape on Christmas before he drop his album.. Hopefully then he'll feel validated

[PoloBoyPrince]

I think lupe is just tryna create buzz so his album can sell. Its a genius plan he practically self promotin himself .. I feel lasers is going to go platinum .. ABOUT TIME

Cuz he deserves it

[jamaica1234]

damn right, top 5 alive, best out of the kinda new ppl

[Kenarox727]

Shit the title in itself is a dis. Yoga Flame going at the "Fireman".

[fiascoking23]

Lmao. Yeah I think that Whoopy reference was intentional and it's over a Wayne beat? Am I reaching, idk? He took several shots at him. And notice he didn't mention Jay with those other rappers...

[jamaica1234]

haha, good looks wit the whoopy reference gotta look into that, and wit jay not being mentioned i dont think its ne thing worthwhile, i jus think he forgot, because he also didnt mention nas either and thats his favorite rapper of all time..

[ballerinnyc]

Na after he gave those shout out he said" I'm not going to drop my name" as in he don't want to even be compared to those rappers

[wwesuperstar1234]

Yeah but then he says "leak that message to the masses" he' s going to use his music to prove that he should be mentioned with the people he mentioned.

[mittalman1]

its "sneak the message to masses, you can call me chocolate rain"......he's talkin about that youtube video and song Chocolate Rain that got over 40 million views....the message in the song is about racism but youd have to really listen to the lyrics to catch it......like lupe

[lilhorsechoka]

lol i thought i was like the only person who noticed that.

[mittalman1]

lol i didnt catch it at first..had to play it a few times.....

[RPIComedy]

@wwesuperstar1234 thats not what he means.

[Okieant]

he's talkin about the MTV list...duh.

[ballerinnyc]

It's about time my nigga Lupe started going after these shit rappers< P.S Shit rappers, Hide your beats; You ask why? Ask Wayne and Drake.

[kracseyman]

This song is mad retarted, lil wayne's songs are just that, LIL WAYNES SONGS! i like how he can wreck everybody elses shit, and his own, but cant nobody do it like he do. but yall to fuckin hate, and tlk shit. thats ok though, "doing wtf he want, hate him all the fuck you want, real niggas fuck with him and he dont give a fuck who dont" straight from his mouth.

[fiascoking23]

@ grn100cash: Well I guess you didn't catch when he said, "tears like a black rap Zach Galifinakis/ Hangover, game over nigga thats it" cuz if that aint a shot at Wayne then idk man. Break it down, if you need help then i'll explain.

[OoTimberwolf42oO]

lupes flow is sooo serious in this song its unbelievable

[KidProdigySP]

wats da instrumental at da end of da song?

[NJKIDDRICO973]

Lupe Fiasco - "Shining Down"

[grn100cash]

No he did not get a lil wayne you silly people. He even said shout out to drizzy, wayne, etc. Damn you guys are so quick to say people are on beef

[ballerinnyc]

Yes he did,

Could not move it just with brains

So I had to use some bling

Shouts to Drizzy, shout to Wayne

Yezzy, Jeezy, Ricky, Fifty, Raekwon, Loso Gucci Mane

Im not going to drop my name

Sneak that message to the masses you can call me Chocolate Rain

Get it?

[GLegend360]

THAT LINE IS SIIIIICK!

[ballerinnyc]

I really hope wayne response, so lupe can finally knock that faggot off his false throne.

[GLegend360]

Lupe doesn't start shit though, he mos def ends it with lyrics like this! Personally I like wayne, but Lupe ASHED this track to bits.

[1moomed23]

haha hell ya

[grn100cash]

i really dont think he is getting at wayne, he would have been getting at everyone else he mentioned. fabolous, 50, etc.

[Canuk7fnf]

shot......not shout bro..

[GLegend360]

its shout...why would he say shot that makes no sense, he's shouting out people's names...

[ballerinnyc]

I am patrick swayze, you are whoopi goldberg, Lol another shot at wayne, Lil wayne looks like Whoopi goldberg

[RPIComedy]

@grn100cash The message wasn't dumb'd down so you dont understand

[fiascoking23]

I'm sure he took some shots at Wayne! Did anybody else catch that? Lmao. Lupe The G.O.A.T.

[possesedbyaclown]

DAMN!!!! Raped lil wayne on his own beat

[shitonatable]

Lupe just shat on Wayne

[iILMeeL]

"my net worth is basketball"

wowzers.

[jnicklez]

R.I.P Fireman beat...moment of silence...

[HS32153]

I thought Wayne killed this, but well maybe its dead now. Lupe don't hurt em. son. Yoga flame!!! Street Fighter all day!

[mrincrediblenjyadigg]

definatly some Yoga Flame in here...screw a hadouken

[URB4NR3CON]

poor wayne we knew him well but lupe just had to go and kill him ON HIS OWN BEAT

[jskillz909]

he called this Yoga Flame cause he spits fire

[shfackup]

lol

[deezy0123]

"I seat in the driver seat. You sit on the shofer (sofa) lol

[bryan295B]

LUPE the man

[baraka1992]

Even tho like the guy below said this isnt beast mode,I went to best buy and bought a mp3 then i went to home depot and bought a shovel...put fireman by lil wayne on that mp3,dought a hole and threw the mp3 in the hole covered it up and played this version at the funeral.

[1moomed23]

haha ROFL

[Okieant]

Don't even call the cops on this..

Lupe needs to be on FBI's Most Wanted List for the mass genocide that he does to beats.

I think it would be tight if Lupe asked for suggestions for us for beats for him to rhyme on and he picked them out and just murked em.

I'd love to hear Lupe on I'm Goin In cuz he really is goin in right now.

[BoyOH5]

but you can ride my shoulder like I pulled you over

[francis2ndhalf]

"day be lookin so blue lyk da water wen i wash my jeans." lupe kills it and i lyk the metaphor wit the chain. he so sick i cant wait to buy lupend

[80zBabyNamedSean]

You gon be waiting a long ass time for LupEND hahahaha. Lasers is on deck early next year after the 2nd mixtape on Christmas called Friend Of The People. Then a 2nd album is already complete with from my understanding a few more mixtapes before that too.

[lilcapz444]

lasers drops on the 15th of december

[80zBabyNamedSean]

Lasers was pushed back again. No more December 15th.

[Pastelle09]

please say this isnt true

[80zBabyNamedSean]

Unfortunately it is true but we get another mixtape on Christmas called Friend Of The People. Lupe confirmed the Lasers pushback with MTV days before Enemy Of The State came out last week saying that this was gonna drop along with 1 more mixtape which is Christmas then Lasers early next year. He also has a 2nd album behind Lasers complete now as well with more mixtapes to do before he releases that.

[Pastelle09]

yeah i heard that with the other mixtape and album but didnt knew that lasers got pushed back again !! : (

But Im hyped to hear 'Friend Of The People' on Christmas !!

[lilcapz444]

way to tell me the bad news :(:( i was sooo hyped for it, i was gonna buy like 3 copies, dont even ask me why,

[80zBabyNamedSean]

I was hyped too but it's apart of the industry. Pushbacks happen whether it's the label or the product isn't finished and in this case it's the label so Lupe wants to promote himself. On the next tape I see the 1st single dropping on it probably at the end of it. Shining down will be street single cause no video was ever made for it. I don't blame you for buying 3. I bought 2 copies of Paper Trail last year which was a good thing cause my uncle took 1. If I have the money I'll get 2 Lasers.

[echeverri4eva]

is paper trail and album? and also do you now wat month next year itll be?

[80zBabyNamedSean]

Yeah, just early next year is known and the album was finished at the end of June so my guess would be about March. Hopefully he releases the single which would be Army Girl (since he's been playing snippets of it at concerts), at the end of the next tape without a tracklisting just like Enemy of The State. We'll have to listen to it to find out what's on it.

[TheChicagobulls1]

danngggg

[ethiolove098]

2:27 lol he actually sounds like weezy

[smellsofresh]

Ive been havin a horrible week. . . but this just made my day. . .

[lilcle03]

Rest In Peace to WACKNESS! Thank you Lupe, you killed the beat, Yo Lupe Yoga Flamed the Fireman LoL (real tlk)

[80zBabyNamedSean]

RIP to rap, no. RIP to wacknessss. Dude snapped on this shit. I knew he would shut the dumbed down music up. Lupe is here once again and your beats are no longer safe lol. Wayne says it but it's irrelevant when Lupe takes Wayne's own beat and destroys it. Especially adding intelligent bars in it.

[MusicChannel8]

fireman

[greenzkid51692]

lolz

[PARKER1779]

He's talking about Gucci on this track.

[80zBabyNamedSean]

He's talking about everybody that made the top 10 MTV list. Not just Gucci and definitely not in a dissing way but letting them know what's up with him and that he still has it and is better than all them dudes on that list.

[ballerinnyc]

We just witness the sr8 murder of this beat; R.I.P wackness as Lupe would say

[Bmandatboy13]

Omg!!! Lupe is the best. I hope this mixtape get some shine, I can't wait to sync this to my touch.

[tubetime3]

too much

[jesseclifton]

Best rapper ever. No question.

R.I.P.....this beat
