[tblkgdlk]

Feature Verse here /watch?v=5PpHZq66Swo

[TheSplendidSpiders]

Better then any song on Lasers.

[tranceaddict324]

@TheSplendidSpiders song was on Lazers, and Lazers was one of his best albums....YES i listened to his others, F&L and The Cool, still think it was one of his most political and revolutionary albums....idk why u all hate

[GlassyeyedMonster]

@tranceaddict324 i think it's called LaSers. Not LaZers. *facepalm*

[tranceaddict324]

@GlassyeyedMonster semantics on youtube dude? really? *facepalm*

[TheSplendidSpiders]

@tranceaddict324 I know it was, I meant the other ones. But, I liked some of the songs on Lasers. Not my favorite alblum. No hate though.

[tranceaddict324]

@TheSplendidSpiders yea i can respect tht....tastes and opinions my man

[juturna]

@tranceaddict324 l@sers is the most sellout shit lupe ever did and im a huge lupe fan fnf army sun!!

[tranceaddict324]

@juturna HOW WAS IT SELL OUT!? dude, just because the "Hip-Hop" beats are mainstream doesn't mean he sold out...I think that his lasers album has just as much meaning in every song as any of his others, personally its my favorite, songs never get old and never stop inspiring me to do greater things. Im currently majoring in Poly Sci and am hoping one day to be a senator or HOPEFULLY more, and when im there im going to do great things for THE PEOPLE, and you can thank that album, tupac 2

[tblkgdlk]

[Karmizzler]

@MrPhelanGood

What are you smoking?

[openyourdamneyes777]

no itunes?

[MrPhelanGood]

I Swear man this is the best EMINEM song ive ever heard i just saying dawg i dont think EMINEM can do anything better than he did in this song just like he rapped so good in this song!!!!

[Sanki2256]

@MrPhelanGood

Definitely not a song produced by Eminem.. Look at the title again.

[JacobWierschkeMan]

@MrPhelanGood Wtf?

[TheGecko03]

2 of the the best rappers

[greyez7]

I wanna listen to Beast Mode.

[TheFantasticBagMan]

I love the 'Identify Yourself' part.

[Catwalkification]

i'm a supernova now.

[Catwalkification]

@Catwalkification thanks for asking.

[mattysimsoficial]

lol i have the same guitar samples...too funny

[StealthlyElephant]

HI NEW!

[UncalledForGiraffe]

I think Los and Lupe need to make a song together. Both best rappers of all time.

Lupe should also make a song with Tim McIlrath from Rise Against, like White Flag Warriors (Flobots). It'd be so awesome.

[TalibanSOA]

#FREELUPE #FREEBoB

[Braduxx]

who's watching "bob ft ludacris-beast mode" next?

[greyez7]

@Braduxx

ahaha yu saw that girl too!!!!

[footballer4life22]

@Braduxx hahaha this better be a top comment that was funny shit

[capncrunch34]

If this didnt make the final cut on Lasers, how did you get it?

[GmnisAwesome]

@capncrunch34 Lupe's Mixtapes. When Atlantic wasn't going to release Lasers until Lupe did what they wanted to do. So, Lupe released songs for free.

[abigailmichelle505]

Omg i seriously could die.. how could i not know of such an amazing song until now?!

[DamionCrane]

Y'all know what I think about when I listen to this song?? The United States of America.

[KDBM8519]

@DamionCrane Hahahah so true

[shogun1x]

good chorus

[suprarockers27]

thumbs up if this reminds u of sum outkast sh*t

[ARMORCZAR]

I'm wearing daisy dukes right now backing it up on my obese (female) cousin.... no hobo...

[lisamariestube]

? = burning dirigible

[dannykapi]

@lisamariestube Hindenburg. it was a blimp that ignited in mid-air. and there was a famous saying that derived from it "oh the humanity" because the person that was reporting this event had said that.

[lisamariestube]

@dannykapi I knew this was going to happen. The person who wrote the lyrics put a ? where it should say "burning dirigible"

I know what the Hindenburg is. But thanks. :P

[dannykapi]

@lisamariestube oh whoops, you were just correcting his mistake, ahah my bad.

[BigNateBeats]

Lol, I laugh at white kids who comment shit about how lil Wayne isn't anything compared to them. Well it's a good thing nobody asked, huh?

[bdb9133]

@BigNateBeats How do you know its white kids commenting about Wayne?

[dementedjelly]

@BigNateBeats why the hell does it matter about the race

[TCess1990]

@BigNateBeats The right to critic music has nothing to do with what race you are, so who cares?

[TheNFLGUY619]

lupe and eminem really need to make a song together

[TheMoosa99]

@TheNFLGUY619 dude they did "bad meets evil" go listen to eminem's album

[TheNFLGUY619]

@TheMoosa99 thats royce da 5"9 not lupe

[therealnathanspoor]

@TheNFLGUY619 fuck no! eninem sucks.

[TheNFLGUY619]

@therealnathanspoor if you really think that you're a fucking idiot. just because you may not like him doesn't make him suck. i fucking hate lebron james but he's the best player in the nba. don't hate the player hate the game

[footballer4life22]

@TheNFLGUY619 well considering eminem is fuckin crazy and sings about raping girls and lupe sings about real shit... i dont think itll work out

[TheNFLGUY619]

@footballer4life22 lol you know nothing about eminem its cool thought i use to think the same thing. look up songs by eminem called like toy soildiers, sing for the moment, mockingbird, till i collapse. those are only a couple of the many great songs by him

[footballer4life22]

@TheNFLGUY619 i've heard them... most of his songs arent about about real shit. every rapper has a few of those types of songs. lupe is out to make a difference from the things i hear from eminem it seems like to some people hes trying to be hard, to others he wants sympathy. but we can all have opinions hell while im at it ill just get it out there that NFL sucks.

[TheNFLGUY619]

@footballer4life22 everyone has a different taste in music. well the good thing is we can both say lupe is amazing. and really the nfl sucks? you obviously aren't American

[ShaunMati88]

@TheNFLGUY619 I will give u one song that trumps any song Em has done or any other rapper in the last decade has made. Look up Failure -Lupe Fiasco. That is by far one of the most lyrically generated songs ive ever heard. And i used to listen to Nas and Talib. Seriously failure is on a whole other level. Em is awesome..in fact i consider him one of the best MCs all time. But lupe is just too gifted.

[TheNFLGUY619]

@ShaunMati88 i just looked it up and its pretty nice but i can think of many songs that are better by many other rappers.

[shortyxlo7]

@TheNFLGUY619 No, my man. youtube Failure Breakdown (video by TimesNuRoman) and watch the video to see what you didn't catch on the surface. THEN you will consider lupe on another level. He really is just TOO gifted. Matter of fact, EVERYONE youtube TimesNuRoman and watch his video breakdowns of lupe. Thumbs up So everyone can see please. Em, Nas, Talib, Mos Def, all really goood. But, Lupe is just insane. Lupe>Shakespeare ya dig

[shortyxlo7]

@ShaunMati88 Couldn't agree with you more my man. Failure is one of the most lyrical songs on this planet! I just posted a comment on this video. Please take a look at it and give it thumbs up if that isnt too much to ask. You will understand after you read my comment :]

[therealnathanspoor]

@TheNFLGUY619 Enineme is garbage ok get it threw your thick dumb skull.

[afgillu510nist]

@therealnathanspoor eminem isnt garbage thats bullshit. lupe is my favorite artist ever along with lowkey and immortal technique im on all of his stuff but you cant diss shady he monopolized the rap game he went platinum over the internet. i like lupe more but saying em is garbage is retarded. listen to the marshall mathers LP again

[TheNFLGUY619]

@therealnathanspoor you are a fucking idiot. first of all he's better then you will ever be in your pathetic life. and second of all just look up his accomplishments and see what he has done. you may not like the guy but what he has done and what he's earned deff earns respect.

[slayenum]

@TheNFLGUY619 eminems a faggot...

[footballer4life22]

@TheNFLGUY619 haha nah i was just yankin your chain with the nfl comment :p look at my name haha but dang everyones commenting on this on here ill let it go we all do have our opinions!

[MegamanZero359]

@TheNFLGUY619 why would lupe ever tarnish himself that trash

lupe has respect for himself

[TheNFLGUY619]

@MegamanZero359 lupe and em? ummm no they don't. you must have heard remixes people have made. not real

[MegamanZero359]

@TheNFLGUY619 no i dont like Eminem it's the same shit about bitching about his life or making fun of women while lupe is realy fun to listen to Cuz sure he talks about problems but they are problems who affect everyone not just himself ... like american terrorist and he meshes realy well with different types of artist while Eminem realy only mixes well with mainstream hip hop ... that's just my opinion so please don't take anything to heart.

[TheNFLGUY619]

@MegamanZero359 dude everyone has a different taste in rap so i'm not gonna say anything about your opinion Em and Lupe are my fav two rappers hangs down. I'm just saying its not true about how you're saying all eminem raps about is making fun of women and kill his wife. yes some songs are but most aren't.

[MegamanZero359]

@TheNFLGUY619 thanks and i do apologize i am thrashing on Eminem a little even though i love till i collapse and 8 mile im just saying when it comes to keeping it real.. lupe definitively doesn't have nearly as bad of a record as slim shady does... still i recognize both as stepping stones in the hip hop community

[ILikeYTMusic]

@TheNFLGUY619 they have two, lol..

[dillonakrider]

@TheNFLGUY619 i though the same thing when i herd this!!!

[BiXiE19]

@TheNFLGUY619 Nah fuck dat shit, Eminem to noble nowadays...Lupe and Logic gotta do some shit

[BibtheChib]

@TheNFLGUY619 No. NO.

[xalanx22]

a b.o.b, lupe, big sean album/mixtape would be amazing!!! i konw that big sean isnt excactly there style but before you talk shit listen to wait for me by big sean ft lupe

[mzresses]

Yeah They both are great lyrical artist so if they ever put a mixtape 2gather it would be a deep influental cd sense i only like lyrikal musick any way i hope they do

Dylo(LyricalRadio) peace

[lifeismelody11211994]

DOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEE.....LUPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEE

[juphl35]

just my two cents these two together are like a soft version of bad meets evil

[herbertaWALLACE11]

my favorite two rappers ....... y arent they noticed

[bigthingspoppinoff]

Oh the humanity, like that burning dirigible.

[l3mu3l1]

wayne can't deal with this two.

[l3mu3l1]

true rappers for todays generation.

[ryanshem]

i like how the two main artists who are against corporate america are teaming up as one. I like that I respect both of them for that.

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@ryanshem against corporate america. i lol at ur naiviy, they bothe signed to atlantic. bet u think its all atalantics fault tht lupe all electro now too huh?

[afgillu510nist]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 thats cuz lupe wants to explore other forms of music so hes goin after different types of music

[BlazedBastar666]

@ryanshem "against" FTFY

[LeeBreaux]

@ryanshem b.o.b is the most mainstream/sales caring rapper there is

[BiXiE19]

@ryanshem Lol against corporate America? Watched an Adidas commercial lately?

[Maldrend]

@ryanshem two main artists who are against corporate america?

[ryanshem]

@Maldrend Yes.

[djlgftw]

It's"delivered now back in littler clothes"

[longbordin95]

These two definitely work well together

[Monster55g]

if you love lupe you should get some dr dre studios they let you listen to the lyrics better...its like they flow through your head freely

[thethronejacker]

@Monster55g Listening to this album with Dre Studio Beats and i must say this shit goes hard. Everything just sounds perfect

[pepeycholo]

u know what the only song i actually like in this album is fkn "show goes on" fkn lupe can kill it in this industry and bring back hip hop the real shit but man the lasers album is so fkn weak. so far the only lupe shit i think is decent is paris tokyo, kick push and little weapon other than that..... -_- fuck me dead man his so good it killed me inside listenin to his album

[pepeycholo]

its dull music like this that make ppl think hip hop is dead but LUPE must realise this b4 its 2 late otherwise its over ...LUPE.. Paris, Tokyo is poetry and that was on ur lonesome was sup with this whack shit? sound like an intro of a fail new american pie movie

[shaqkhi]

@pepeycholo Are u crazy this song is Poetry too.. maybe your not taking in the meaning. and B.O.B. & Lupe are real Tight.. B.O.B. is not as mainstream as u think... listen to his underground stuff and you'll see.. or listen to him speak.

[pepeycholo]

@shaqkhi other than what u call this shit being good.... what else do u listen to coz we must have very very veryfkn different tatse in hip hop my friend

[pepeycholo]

@shaqkhi who do u think ur talkin to mate... ur calling this poetry? and u think i dunno bob... u heard Tech n9ne ft. hopsin and bob - am i a psycho? thats the bobo i expect.. but this shit wtf??? who u playin at? back to the point.. LUPE!!!! this is shit.. lupe let us all down he can do better. ever heard Little Weapon now that shit was fkn tight.. lupe goin Mainstream tryin to make that paper. -_- sad imo .. ur talkin to some that listens to wu mos talib and my fav nas 1994 nas that is.cya-.-

[shaqkhi]

@pepeycholo and i listen to Nas, junior gong, Outkast, Blackstar, Wu tng, A tribe called quest Rakim & Blu.. etc. and of course i have herd Little weapon.. i've listened to almost every Lupe track Breakdown and everything.. even his tracks with Japanese Cartoon. This song is poetry too.. just delivered in a more up beat manner.

[shaqkhi]

How is this not poetry.. He is on the topic of how girls change the entire song ...

[dakidd4110]

@shaqkhi he just likes to hear about guns (little weapon) like those other mainstream sheep

[shaqkhi]

@dakidd4110 wow.. you really don't understand his music... Little Weapon isn't about guns..

[dakidd4110]

@shaqkhi Obviously it's about kids in Africa with guns killin theri own people families ect it's the theme of VIOLENCE

[shaqkhi]

@dakidd4110 But you're acting like Lupe is trying to Promote doing it he's making the song's with content like that so people can be aware of it.. like his track Conflict Diamonds..

[dakidd4110]

@shaqkhi WOAH I never said anything like that your assuming that I think he promotes violence when the truth is I know he doesn't and I never siad he did. thats not what I'm sayin I'm sayin people who listen to mainstream music like the theme of violence

[pickmeup95]

@pepeycholo are you saying you dont like b.o.b in this song or the song itself? cuz this is lupe's song and b.o.b being featured did not change the meaning or beat (even though he was jewed into doing this whole abulm)

[SuperJmurdock]

@pepeycholo that was a dumb comment. listen to the lyrics. this is not mainstream. this is pretty much a creative project from lupe that wasnt album material. he didnt put it on an album so why are you judging it like he asked you to say something?

[pepeycholo]

LUPE!!!!!!!!!!! do ur music on ur own, dont let others come in i always liked ur jams with no dickheads featured in it... pls dont go mainstream... pls dont chase the paper man... u will get sunk... in the long run but whatever man what do u care im only just one fan

[NomSkull]

@pepeycholo And Lupe is completely aware of what he is doing. It wasn't him that made Lasers a bullshit album. It was Atlantic Records. Quit talking like he is selling out.

[pepeycholo]

i really hate to say this... i will get thumbs down... but man this song is so fkn weak it doesn't even sound attractive... im sure lupe will look at this song and say man what a waste of time... i want my lupe shit pumpin outfrom my car but this song is so fkn whack

[NaziZombieLover1]

@pepeycholo i agree!! :(

[NomSkull]

@pepeycholo wow. do you even understand the lyrics?

[pepeycholo]

@NomSkull and to u mate ur fkn 19 wtf would u know about real hip hop or rap my friend ive been listenin to real hip hop since i was 10 which is when nas's second album dropped... feel free to reply but ur just gonna get taught son.

[FINofficial]

@pepeycholo real hip hop has never existed. listen to 90s hip hop then lisen to the first ever rap song. completely different. ur the one thats gonna get taught. and this is by a 16 yr old

[ssimesh]

my girl firend said she doesnt ike Lupe....i chris browed her

[djcleanstylez]

@ssimesh Thank you lol

[erbz22]

Janelle monae would be perfect for this song.

[amahaji]

Hip hop aint dead, look it up in the alternative subgenre ;)

[1LIFEtoWIN]

@amahaji hell yeahs so very true love alt rap

[ConorMcC2010]

is this on his album?

[TheHipHopSamurai1]

Why can't this song be on lasers?

[heavancool365]

@TheHipHopSamurai1 The song wasn't finished in time for it to be on L.A.S.E.R.S. Like @Newlopw4 said, Lupe said he wanted Cee Lo Green or Janelle Monae. It's a shame too, this song would've been even bigger, better shit than it is now.

[AtlUpload]

Best duo ever

[JimmyValentimeNYC]

Check out my remix of this song , cleaner mix then what was the laser vol.2 mix tape

[bballboy8172]

i think asher roth b.o.b and lupe fiasco are the most underated rappers. it pissin me off how underated these guys are how can wiz khalifa for example be so much more popular.

[LaBelS11]

@bballboy8172 plus Wale and Wiz just fits what sells he's pretty good but just produing crap cuz that's what sells people dont like to think or hear whats real thats why songs like this arent popular

[iPenguinProduction]

B.o.B & Lupe Fiasco gotta make a mix tape together! That would be amazing!

[jdavis4297]

@iPenguinProduction if u look thru there mixtapes they do alot of songs together and use eachothers beats alot so i just took all of those songs and put them into a playlist lol

[iPenguinProduction]

@jdavis4297 Cool where's the playlist?



[jdavis4297]

@iPenguinProduction there r 5 songs i culd find on utube the original playlist was on my mp3

[iPenguinProduction]

@jdavis4297 Oh cool could u send me links?

[TheMrtokyo]

it is the reall lupe right here fnl2

[tur6o7414]

new loupe song on my playlist

[NickOfNaples]

@tur6o7414 how do you spell lupe wrong?

[Eli360Mel]

This song didn't make it on 'Lasers' because it got leaked and didn't get much popularity.

[robertquintana559]

@Eli360Mel It got leaked after Lasers was released.

[Newlopw4]

Lupe wanted Cee Lo Green or Janelle Monae on the third verse.

[NotBatteries]

@Newlopw4 Or The Chorus!

[ThaRaynMan]

@Newlopw4 I would love to hear Cee-lo... ACTUAL RAP.. not vocalizing, yeah

[stxx1982]

Best question I heard in a long lol

[macogod]

how did this not make it on the album

[JAMEVINUN]

join the killuminati movement

[PdubzCrew]

This song was suppose to be on the original Lasers well thats what wikipedia said.

Dope song both lupe and b.o.b produced the beat.

[Bajanordie]

Lupe is the best and b.o.b goes short and hard on this

[poppopscrafito]

2 people are complete idiots

[Devon1007]

Extra Lasers bitchez

[omgpopmaster]

@Devon1007 Well dis isnt exra lasers i think they actually published it

[Devon1007]

@omgpopmaster No actually they made this song to go on LASERS but this and a bunch of other songs didn't make it on, so they made EXTRA LASERS to put all those extra songs on and made it mixtape. :)

[omgpopmaster]

@Devon1007 Oh... how u kno dis lol

[Devon1007]

@omgpopmaster I'm Lupe Fiasco. DUH

[omgpopmaster]

@Devon1007 (NO RACIST) Heh funny cuz I see a white guy on ur profile pic.

[Devon1007]

@omgpopmaster Damn you got me

[864edwin]

not in laser

[xBr0wnNin0]

@luther45671

Of course not.

[luther45671]

Lupe's good bt i tink B.o.B is better

[kiazand]

@luther45671 I think both are good in there own way. Either way they speak the truth unlike most mainstream artist and truth is what the world needs cuz the media is so distorted.

[chemistnj]

@kiazand no it isnt they want you to think that... who wins the grammies and makes the bigger impact on the world not u.s.a (country full of idiots) the world... music isn't dying the industry isnt bad good music is still high in demand... it's just easier to pump bullshxt .... and land without rain is a desert think abou it

[MrJez97]

@luther45671 i agree bob is the best

[fmsbyz]

@seafoamwinter lupe wanted Cee-Lo or Sarah Green to be on the last verse but neither of them did it
