  • i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve this song

  • Amazing

  • Lupe is such a lyrical assassin, he destroys all of young money , and so many more artist. He speaks with a purpose and I admire his effort. people please pay homage to this Mc'. he is one of the greatest of or generation

  • @MGonzoo It wasn't done by a 12 year old, but it was written by one lol

  • I think this is probably gonna be my number 1 song for life..

  • Definitely one of the most underrated Lupe songs - personally this is in my top 5 Lupe songs!

    Scratch that this is in my top 5 songs by any artist!

  • Pharrell from the neptunes sings the chorus

  • LUPE

  • whos singing the chorus his voice is dreammy LOL

  • this song will forever be my jam.. keep it up lupe.

  • real music...

  • only 335 000 views? shit, what peoples listen to these days

  • Keep hip-hop intelligent like this.

    Take notes rappers this cats an Emcee.

  • @EquisDeAmerica yeah but thats not what a metaphor is, "like a" is a simile, so if u didnt know that then its a sik line, but if u did know its not a metaphor then it will sound like meet her before, i dont think its suppose to mean both, but one or the other depending on ur knowledge, which i think is even more genius

  • @wenwang20 educate em my man haha that's one of the things I thought too, "that's a similie, Lupe!"

  • "i think i like her like a metaphor", this line is weird b/c its actually a simile, but he says "its hard to get" so for the ppl who do know and think abt it, this can actually sound like "i think i like her like i met her before", am im looking too deep into this or is he a genius?

  • @wenwang20 both bro. but lupe does that

  • @wenwang20 its suppose to mean both, it is genius 

  • Dowwnload the audio from this tune at soundnabber doht cohm.

  • Fresh to death she is, from a her steps to her set she is, so death might not let me live, ya dig, fresh (uh huh) yes she is

  • CANT WAIT TO SEE LUPE IN LA!!!! <3 :D your my sunshine

  • Think I found love in dis club toooooooooo

    Night wowuwoeu

  • the thing i lik about lupe is he never really uses negative words. especially when it comes to women.

  • This makes Lil Wayne's "How to Love" song look like it was done by a 12 year old.

  • @MGonzoo Does it really? -,- No

  • @eyesword101 Yeah it actually does. 

  • @777Clong No It Doesn't ... They're are two different songs about to different subjects and two different styles. You can't compare them

  • @MGonzoo u funny bitch lupe sucks ballz

  • @naruto1993max lupe would destroy wayne in a battle, so how can you say that lupe sucks balls. u ignorant young money fake hip hop loving peice of garbage. go die in your innocence. lil wayne is the worst rapper alive. so get to fuck back to vevo bitch

  • @ORIGINALGANGST4 lupe irrelevant

  • @naruto1993max irrelevant to what?

  • @MGonzoo hahah tru ass shit!!

  • @MGonzoo the song "how to love" was probably done by a 12 year old since he cant even write his own shit

  • @MGonzoo already did before the comparison

  • @MGonzoo Thats because it was

  • @MGonzoo What's with the Lil Wayne comment? What does he have to do with this song?

  • @MGonzoo LIl Wayne actually didn't even write that song. But that doesn't make a difference, just thought I'd add some insight. #LupeThaGreatest

  • Who the f*** disliked this!? Damn!

  • OMG I LOv3 D!S

  • @zanlean because this is hip-hop, not rap, theres a difference

  • your my sunshinnnneee!!

  • @zanlean fuck rap.

  • I dont care what u call it.... This is music at its best...

  • this is michael young history talking about how he loves the streets

  • Comment removed

  • one thousand likes now ahah

  • Lupe Fiasco uses One Man Army in MW2? SMH

  • @RandomAmazement you know this song came out before mw2 right?

  • @phxsunsrbest its clearly a joke..

  • @RandomAmazement yea in know haha

  • lupe the man but you goto hear some blow your head off music or is that apart of my disorder

  • Dude is ill, i think Kanye produced this but who cares, Lupe killed this track, this song is a reminisce for you an your memories you feel me?

  • @StAtZxGrAFFiTixMaXx Neptunes

  • @kennypowers371 Neptunes huh

    i figure that

  • i figure that

    Neptunes is sick too

  • @StAtZxGrAFFiTixMaXx Nah, Soundtrakk did. Kanye produced "The Cool".

  • @MyJunior1975 Whose Soundtrakk though?

  • whose Soundtrakk though?

  • @StAtZxGrAFFiTixMaXx Soundtrakk is an in-house producer at Lupe's 1st & 15th label.

  • I just noticed something If he's against war why does his chain have a army man pointing a gun on it: 2:49

  • @DayCallMeQuad hes an army brat so hes showin love to the soldires i think

  • It was raining a minute ago. I played this song and the sun came out!

  • I personally think this song is just a giant extended metaphor about a blowjob. The fact that he made a song like that, but covered in lyricism and great wordplay just makes me think the man is that much greater of an artist

  • @TheAmazingBrodriguez A blowjob? Explain.

  • @TheAmazingBrodriguez naw if u actually listen to his songs u woud see he woud never rap about something as adultrated as that

  • @DayCallMeQuad Im a huge Fiasco fan. I have every piece of content i can find. But he elegantly lays down verses about the subject matter. Back in the day Lupe was a "thug" rapper. So, you really can't say he wouldn't rap about it, anything is possible. I'm putting out my interpretation of this song. Not saying it's right, but thats my perception of it after listening to it enough and reviewing it.

  • @TheAmazingBrodriguez but this aint one of his older song

  • @DayCallMeQuad I know it's not. I was using his older songs as an example.

    Besides, who else other than Lupe the Jedi to hide that in a song?

  • @TheAmazingBrodriguez i think it is an extended metaphor too but i think its bout the rap game nowadays

  • luv this song too!

  • Lupe is Fresh to def :)

  • See, THIS is how you treat women in a rap song

  • @TyFhoonBoom best rapper alive

  • @TyFhoonBoom its not about a women

  • @TyFhoonBoom atleast a woman the you love and respect

  • that*

  • 'Never met her before, but i think i like her like a metaphor'- Lupe you beast. And this beast is out of this freakin' world.

  • Never met her before

    But I think I like her like a metaphor

    It's hard to get

  • @getbuck1000 nottt even nigkqa, you be hating boyyy

  • I've come to a revelation, Not only is he talented M.C. But he has the uncanny ability to make songs that REAL people can relate to. I've been listening to this young man for a long time now. He always makes songs that are not only good, but I relate to what he is talking about in everyday life...... A fantastic artist.

  • @Xaldin1317 What, are you criticizing our modern day Shakespeare, Waka Flocka Flame!? How dare you reticule such a genius!

  • @theman9888 How about you read what I said again....SLOWLY this time. I did not disrespect him. And I dont listen to Waka..........Idiot.

  • @Xaldin1317 Lacking sense of humor.

  • I've noticed that people who comment on Lupe's videos seem to be pretentious as shit.

  • @Sleightofhandsz ain't that the truth

  • @Sleightofhandsz eat a dick

  • @elmarijuano92 Thats exactly what I mean. the majority of Lupes fans seem to be abrasive, rap-elitist assholes. No problem with Lupe at all tho

  • @Sleightofhandsz i think it must have been someone using my computer that told you to "eat a dick" though i do not like your blanket statement about Lupe fans, you are after all a person commenting on lupe's videos and a fan of him too so are "pretentious as shit. " and an "abrasive, rap-elitist asshole" ?

  • @elmarijuano92 I'm impartial to him. His fans act like they know everything about hip hop

  • Comment removed

  • Nine ppl are moonshine

  • Genius,forget how much he sells or how popular he is right now.He speaks the truth,listen some of his others too.Amazing,forget this farce of a world were controlled by. The people running the world ARE corrupt,thats why isnt people are starving and dying, open your eyes people ,open your minds. And MOST importantly ,MAKE A CHANGE

  • @gummynumberone soo true

  • keep it up lupe. true inspiration

  • One of the best songs i ever heard

  • THIS IS ONE OF MY FAV LUPE SONGS I CAN LISTEN TO IT ALL DAY!!

    I WANT A GUY TO APPROACH ME LIKE LUPE APPROACH HIS WOMEN

  • lupe is my hero<3

  • LUPE = BRILLIANT !!!

  • @getbuck 1000, that's cause Lupe is the most sophisticated and intelligent rapper in the business. Intelligence doesn't sell to the mainstream audience that's why he is so underrated. Kanye needs to take a few leafs out of Lupe's book, cause Lupe puts him to shame!

  • the cool was better

  • My new boyfriend just told me this is how he feels about me... and he knows i love lupe... ugh.....lovin this song

  • 1. The Notorious B.I.G 2. 2pac 3. Nas 4. Jay-z 5. Lupe Fiasco

  • This is gonna be my wedding song for that girl one day..

    Check me out.....did a sunshine remix

  • um feeling this song

  • amazing song

    

  • ahh this takes me back, i used to kno this song by heart. it reminds me of my old fling!

  • I can't wait for Food and Liquor part II. The original album was crack. BTW does anyone know where I can find the original intro for food and liquor? I am talking about the food and liquor that was leaked.

  • how does lupe do it????? HE'S A GENIUS

  • Well @madmics32 Tribe called quest, De La soul... they were pretty positive 7 fly

  • Well @madmics32 Tribe called quest, De La soul... they were pretty positive 7 fly

  • im sorry to say this but hip hop was never as positive as lupe is he doenst remind me of any of the old school music like NWA Snoop Jay Biggie Big-L SLick Rick LL Cool J none of them theres not one he is in a small pack on an island with Talib Mos Def and a few other Artist so dont compare him to them 2 Pac is no where near his Calibur of lyricism and depth, talkin about a sruggle is good but what about positivity, lupe is a different breed dont believe me listen to the old rappers

  • if only most artist these days were like lupe than maybe rap wouldnt have fell off so much

  • Raw ass song for the chicks 8-)

  • Now this is why I fell in love with hip hop!!! Music back in the day was like this...now adays its garbage...we know you got money, hoes and smoke...now say something different once in awhile...Lupe bringing hip hop back to the realness!!!

  • I don't understand how you dislike this song, this is true music , real hip hop

    How can you dislike a song from a artist who has revolutionary music ?

    this dude speaks the truth and makes song that flow from the heart directly to the mind...but O-well I guess idiots will be idiots 800 likes 8 dislikes...incredible

  • long live lupe fiasco

  • Everyone knows Soulja Boy is the most sophisticated rapper. "Swag. Swag. Swag. Bitch. Money. Car. Swag."

  • lupe isnt ur "hollywood typical sexiest man alive" but dammit this man is just gorgeous to me! and not even on a physical level..just his mindset and his intelligence..i have all of his albums...LOVE LUPE!

  • he quotes shakespeare in a rap song. what a beast.

  • @inlinefreak92 wait where's the quote?

  • @jymymypy The chorus mainly. "You're my sunshine, you're my moonlight, you're the starry sky above me" is from some part of Romeo and Juliet. And if you listen closely to the whole song it's all kind of a modern day romeo and juliet story. and again, he's a beast.

  • @inlinefreak92 which line??

  • @TzeusJT ahhh nvm saw another comment

  • @inlinefreak92 What part is he quoting shakespeare?

  • @gabe7773 i believe it's the chorus

  • @inlinefreak92 You MUST see this.

    /results?search_query=akala+co­medy+tragedy+history&aq=8

    You want sophisticated, check out Akala.

  • @inlinefreak92 what part ? i think i missed it

  • @inlinefreak92 Where does he quote shakespeare? I have been searching for awhile now and cant find it,,

  • @inlinefreak92 this teacher uses lupe to teach shakespeare tohis students

  • lupe

  • @XpedHeartbreak someitmes its the label.

    The one who writes the check has the final say at the end of the day

  • Lupe's only flaw is that he's a Sox fan. 

  • @joncastro5 Lol

  • quick everyone search "sleepy i love her" that track goes hard!!

  • Food and Liquor is a classic. No room for debate.

  • its weird cause its not just one good song on his albums there all good :)

  • L@SERS.....MARCH 8TH...GET IT!!!

  • lupe is a deep dude , he problably the only cat from the new generation I like.

  • Loving this beat...perfect for Lupe

  • I noticed comments on lupes videos are much more sophisticated and intelligent,than any other rapper

  • @getbuck1000 To be a lupe fan means your obviously more intelligent then lets say a "lil wayne" fan..

  • @CasstechKc it doesn't necessarily "mean" anything. You know how many people pretend to like Lupe because his lyrics are complex? If you like good music ...you like good music...quit citing soula boy/lil wayne why are they even relevant..

  • @CasstechKc i like lil wayne, he has his moments of lyrical creativity, he's a bit of a goof at times but i don't like some of his subject matter at times so i prefer rappers like Lupe, still he ain't garbage, he ain't the greatest thing either but he isn't garbage
