youre telling me that Lupe Fiasco, a rapper, is so good that he's able to back up vocals like Matt Santos in a chorus like that....tits. good music actually does exist.
The things i most respect and love about Lupe is that he stays true to his ideas and beliefs. Now a day most hip hop and rap songs are about getting with girls and making money. Lupe strays from the mainstream path and has created a whole new spectrum of music. The combination of hip hop and folk is something that has been beautifully been pulled off by these two gentlemen and i believe would be difficult for most music artists to pull off now a day. My hat is off to you two...
Waoooooouuuuuuuuuuuuw this song is beautiful !!! And this acoustic session so great !!! A so perfect duet between Lupe and Matthew !!!!!!!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
i love how lupe skipped the lines after "put him back in his cage" because they were negative and wouldnt fit in with the positive approach to the song. a nice change to the somewhat dark sounding album
AMAZING... like honestly some people are chirping lupe's voice in this but hes trying to do something different here, what rapper does an acoustic version of their song lol.
I will follow Lupe forever..I really dont care if he ever gets that "big" hit, he always stays true to himself and his music....when it comes to authentic HIP-HOP, Lupe is the shit....matt santos is a great folk singer, hope he can get a major record deal...
This is a PERFECT blend of two completely different styles of music regardless of what everyone is saying. This shows that REAL music is still alive and these two are trying very hard to keep it that way. Matthew is taking it that next level and lupe is doing is thing. It's seriously a beautiful thing..
I'm not a huge fan because I can admit he sounds like shit in a live acoustic version of one of his songs. Of course being to 4 of the 5 concerts he's been at in my city doesn't count or the fact that the Cool is my favorite album ever. What do you know?

"Lupe's only terrible cuz hes got no beat to feed off of."
Lupe is terrible because he just might be. To say he has "no beat to feed off of" is stupid. BEAT = Timing, not the music drowning sound of bass that we hear in hip hop all the time. What beat is the guitar player going to? oh that's right, he is creating it! ignorance is bliss for those that have it, for the rest of us, it is frustrating!
Beat doesn't equal timing, tempo does... ignorance is bliss for those that have it. Matthew Santos is a great musician and is playing the BEAT to the song but it's just on guitar. Rap thrives of drums and/or percussion. Id'e like to see them redo it with mabye conga's or something. would be interesting.

If it wasn't for Santos, no one would watch this video. Lupe is terrible in comparison...actually in general, especially in that last repeat of the chorus after Matt just killed it.
It's two different styles fused in as one. You've got an acoustic folk singer and then you have a hip hop artist. Lupe is a great lyricist and is one of the few artists out today that is still keeping hip hop alive. Matthew santos is amazing too, great voice, great song writer and guitar player. They're both great in their field...no need to bash one over the other. Santos couldn't do what lupe does and lupe can't do what santos does...but they're in for the sake of music
Dude this is awesome! glad the two got together to do an accoustic one... i think i like the original better, but this is still perty hella awesome and quite different from the typical style.
then why the fuck are you listening to this song? damn nikkuh if you are going to watch a video [that you know your not going to like] then complain bout how bad it is....DONT WATCH!!!!!
hey no hatting on Lupe if not because of him, i would have known sooner like way earlier in 08 about this talent. so yeah. okay. go Matthew Santos, one of the best singer ever, he could SANGGGG. Lupe is awesome too, i love is intellectuallness. Santos you know i am your number one fan. (Mary using bro's account so this is a girl not a boy)

Lupe Fiasco ain't got nothing on my boy matthew santos. Oh my gosh. definitely one of my favorite singers. he is the only good thing about this song. He hits some sick nasty little notes in this.
