Lupe Fiasco- The Champ Is Here

[AlloftheAbuv]

The Champ is here.

[XStreet14]

Oow this from Ali the movie

[xoxorobbie]

dedicated to the giants

[LupeKobe]

"That I don't need Caroline calculator to divide defeat

Just lean a little closer

The flows are his as roses is

So override your pride and decide retreat

It's suicide to me

... Like a broke stock broker and a sidewalk

Y'all niggas ain't fly as me"

he is just amazing

[LupeKobe]

thank god for rap genius

[LeVertPatterson]

The champ has walked in the building, so whose my next challenger to be defeated, @yogaflame get it yogaflame no one can obtain this beast, i keep chucks on cuz jordans are like serria leone blood diamond, Steadily....making a killing so if u rather not see the reaper keep em off your feet fnf much love to my niggga lupe

[litescript]

Ryan Villopoto is using this as his opening ceremonies introduction song. At least at the phoenix supercross he did.

[baseball1441]

rip jiggly billy

[bntafa]

the only champ i know is cena john

[GrownSimba23]

Im twice the MC like MC squared

[blackops12382]

THE CHAMP IS HERE !

[JusBlayze85]

its crazy cuz lupe doesnt seem as aggressive as his lyrics but when i heard him on this i knew he was special

[number1hiphopfanever]

quick everyone search that due sleepy conscious and his new track "No apologies" that shit is fire!

[stuntress22]

I love Lupe, definitely one of the best of all time.

[InsaneGomes]

how does Jadakiss ends up in this?

[tomtomd121]

@InsaneGomes jadakiss killed it tho.. Lupe gots nothing important to say like lil wayne

[Ant718100]

@tomtomd121 Lupe has nothing important to say? Obviously you haven't heard Theme Music to a Drive By, Ghetto Story, Hurt Me Soul, Words I Never Said, Glory, Conflict Diamonds, He Say She Say, Streets on Fire, Handcuffs, etc. In all of those songs he says more than most rappers could say in their whole careers. So take time to learn about an artist first before you make your opinion.

[BIGMrighthere]

@tomtomd121 Lil Wayne <_< O_O HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD Great Joke Lmfao Rofl Lolololol Jajajaja.

[TheAnnilateGuy]

@tomtomd121 Lupe Fiasco runs in circles are Wayne. At least you can hear and understand his beast lyrics unlike Lil Wayne's crappy 'Weezy' flow

[HardTimesHardBodies]

Sick!

[Recess5000]

Great lyrics...this was one of the first Lupe Fiasco songs I heard...check out my page

[Denuchi1]

Yall niggas aint listening!!!!

"Back to the punchin'. BACK to the FLOW(FLOOR) like crunchin'." Doin crunches this nigga BEEN dope

[KaysellMusic]

chek out my version. promise it is fucking ill

[bigthingspoppinoff]

Dang, Lupe once said that he ghost writes for GHOST WRITERS. That's being one cold mafugger!

[osoreal44]

the champ is here is from the ali movie



[KidInsain]

Wut did u double a third time. I'm so lost

[bigthingspoppinoff]

@KidInsain "My housing surroundings is what made ME, ME and that's TWO TIMES THE G (another me) see how I doubled that a third time?" (2x the triple me's).

[JusBlayze85]

dunkhunting and pickin up a shorty n sum.....

[creative930222]

Now we know where pauly D got his behavior from

/watch?v=uuHHKHebu3Y&feature=r­elated

[Emmanuel12345metal]

Lupe murdered the song as in he did effin great, yeah no shut the original is better to those who bitch about covers,but for a freestyle on a badass beat, that was fckin awesome. Lupe=The Next Nasir Jones aka Nas

[allabout726]

For u tards, that whole line bout the shotgun and his dog to go pick her up, he's talkin bout duck hunt. The game that came wit the first Mario brothers. The illest

[QuiksilveRXx24]

never knew this dude rapped about guns, still amazing wordplay though

[AgentZer0oo0]

@QuiksilveRXx24

lol You really need to listen to his old shit then. He's explained in like two interviews the reason why he changed his style & stopped rapping about that street shit. A CNN interview & a Vlad TV interview.

[KOTWAZki]

Lupe went over 18 ppls heads

[dacharacter6969]

up against a van lol. nice.

[RapIsTherapy500]

I kinda like Jada's version better.

[KaysellMusic]

I have the best remix to this !!!! Please give it a listen. Subscribe comment and rate!!!

[snakelord2]

Heard this 2years ago and I still say......Lupe your wild as hell

[tjmack010]

"So my heat like Tigerbeat

I got the shotgun in the driver's seat

So if Lupe's a coupe, my man is a sedan

If there's more than 2 of us, then you up against a van

If I'm leavin, then you leavin

If your niggas wanna come, y'all can ride with me

It's just gonna be a lot of squeezing

Ya understand?"-Lupe, now I'm not too fond of gun lines but oh my god Lupe.

[D4017]

Bird call my bad

[D4017]

Man u guys are over think if u been bird hunting with a dog a retriever u make a bird the birds fly u shoot the birds and the dog gets the bird. Its quit literal

[kenney2cool]

WHO THE FUCK WOULD DISLIKE THIS?????? MUTHA FUCKA JUST PUT THIS BEAT TO REST, WHOEVER WANTED TO GET ON THIS BEAT AFTER HIM COULDNT CUZ IT WAS OUT OF SERVICE..............LUPE = BEST LYRICIST

[dog7600re]

my friend actually got me started on lupe. i like some of his songs but not really are but hey ill get there. lupe is sweet

[snakelord2]

@dog7600re lol same here and trust me keep listing i got like all his songs and dude is str8 insane on the mic on me he is

[bently103]

wow " so i got the shotgun and the driver seat, so if lupe is a coupe, my man is a sedan" think about it he actually has a shotgun in the driver seat, and he has the shot gun( passenger seat) and the driver seat, if he only has those he must be a coupe or convertible and he chose coupe, straight genius haha

[Nasfifa09]

NIgga Please!! no one is on Lupe's level

[justdannieboo]

Genius in every freaking verse. Metaphors and wordplay on a league of his own.

[gio1764]

YOU ARE CRAZY,Jadakiss aint ready lyrically homie,admit the truth

[DJMcIntosh93]

With a bird shotgun like im huntin. You see what happened, i made a call, she got fly.

I was pumpin & hit her up, then i sent my dog to go and pick her up.

Thumbs up if you REALLY know what that line means.

it has me in shock.

[jesseclifton]

@DJMcIntosh93 thats some of the illest shit ive ever heard

[Iamsofakingraw]

@DJMcIntosh93

I paused the song, put the computer off and had to lie down to think over what I just heard. That line is RAW

[EnVyReD]

@DJMcIntosh93 lol can u explain that

[bigthingspoppinoff]

@EnVyReD Its double entendre.

1) In the hood "birds" are guns and he's saying he had a gun in the passenger seat (shotgun) and he was hunting down an enemy, took him out and sent his boys to get rid of the body.

2) A "bird" can also be a girl in the hood and its a Duck Hunt (NES game) reference to picking her up, fcking her, and having his friend (dawg) pick her up.

Lupe is such a G!!!

[EnVyReD]

@bigthingspoppinoff Thanks :)

[4udoboyz]

@bigthingspoppinoff actually it a could be considered a juxtaposition. A bird is also a Kilo of coke which explains his emphasis on "pumping"!!!!!

[bigthingspoppinoff]

@4udoboyz Damn, didnt even catch that!

[warriornico80]

@DJMcIntosh93 wht duz it meen

[absherful]

@DJMcIntosh93 uhmm its about him being with a freind..calling a girl who then him sendin his freind to go pick her up riight?

[TheRealNuzo]

@DJMcIntosh93 What does it mean D:

[ThatGuySizzleMac]

@DJMcIntosh93 Phenomenal bar. 'Nuff said.

[pinoboy27]

@DJMcIntosh93 That shit sen tshivers through my body when i found out what it meant... Lupe is so lyrical. How can someone be that genius lyrically? It gets me to wonder.. -_-

[806Noel]

@DJMcIntosh93 duck hunt shit right?

[TheIDaniel]

@DJMcIntosh93 explain plzz?



[shagreezz3]

@DJMcIntosh93 omg I never realized how nice lupe was this nigga is punchline on punchline on punchline

[Kevinsuperior13]

@DJMcIntosh93 what does it mean? haa

[nickster1017]

@DJMcIntosh93 i couldnt stop smiling once i figured out what it meant. haha i felt like a genius hahaha

[TheGamekid93]

@nickster1017 a little explanation for those of uss that are sllow?

[nickster1017]

@TheGamekid93 haha ight. When he says a bird shotgun he means two things.

1. literally a shotgun to shoot birds.

2 a fine chick shotgun in his car.

Then he says i made a call, she got fly.

like a bird gets fly. hah

i was pumpin and hit her up

1. like when you pump up a gun

2 he hit her up like shot the bird.

then he sent the dog to pick her up. like when you go hunting you shoot the bird and then your dog gets it.

Take a deep breath

[TheGamekid93]

@nickster1017 this is the thing with Lupe but still i wouldn't dare to call him a rapper when Wayne and drake are called such Lupe is a poet that is right up there with homer and Shakespeare ...but still will someone crown this damn nigger

[nickster1017]

@TheGamekid93 true, but he is a legend none the less

[TheGamekid93]

@DJMcIntosh93 a little explanation for those of uss that are sllow?

[FatChris]

jada will murk lupe.. end of story

[Ant718100]

@FatChris Back to the punchin, back to the flow (floor) like crunchin', gotta six pack on the low now I'm sunk in. Jada is nice but I doubt he can come up with that.

[kidnots]

@Ant718100 fUcken A!

[gio1764]

@FatChris

YOU ARE CRAZY,Jadakiss aint ready lyrically homie,admit the truth

[blackchildproduction]

lupe fiasco for president

[HayashiAkio1]

Can you all start typing correctly? You're making our country look bad like you always do.

[swagg3riffic]

@HayashiAkio1 For real. Lmao.

[MendosiA]

This beat just got fuckin maimed... As did every other rapper in the game. This dude's lyrical word play and intelligence CAN'T BE TOUCHED!

[DerHalbeEuro]

Hey i heard this song in the movie "Ali" :D

[medz32]

if you dislike lupe you are deaf and jealous you can't hear this shit

[taniafatbitch32]

@medz32 LOL

[Robinnization]

@medz32 True, Lupe is the reason I'd rather be blind than deaf.

[medz32]

if you dislike lupe you are deaf and jealous you can't hear this shit

[Chevy67chelios]

What album is this ?

[iAmJoV]

16 ppl are losers that are not here.

[Jaythrntn]

This is bad for lupe...to bad he cant tear it apart like jada

[bracefacediehl]

" i got tha poker face an im hidin a flush"

i just got that lol. like poker face talkin to cops after he flushed his shit. wow

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

even his gangsta raps are fucking complex

[djdrbs]

sounds like hes sayin THE CAB IS HERE!!!!....but killer song

[badintentions2]

bernard hopkins ring song...BOO-YAAA!

[bently103]

wow the last verse was the best i just listened and finally got all of it lol

[zapdos2]

lupe is better than lil wayne.

[TheCiahast]

@zapdos2 Goes without saying.

The majority of rappers are better than Lil Wayne.

[kamrantahir111]

i like the description

[enigmatikal]

lmao 15 ppl are deaf

[bently103]

"listening for the break, I dont care how long gettin the combination takes, i was concentrating on the crack, get it straight, I was so high on the food chain, that that i mentioned before, I didn't know how to make"

dope as hell talking about pushing hard and making it break, break to crack to talking about him being so high on the hustler chain he doesnt even touch crack haha

[blackwind92]

Wow. Reading is FUNDAMENTAL people. I didn't say "I don't understand" or "the sh*t he's saying is just flying over my head." I said this sh*t is wack. Point blank, period. If you disagree, that's your business. I DON'T care. No need to reply. Just move on.

[Sportingista18]

@blackwind92 youre chopped b. there isnt any way to even consider callin this wack. and dont say it didnt go over your head cause its obvious you dont understand cause every hiphop head appreciates this type of lyricism

[blackwind92]

@Sportingista18 funny how every guy who doesn't listen to mainstream hip hop artists, but instead listens to the slightly popular, under the radar guys feels he is a true "hip hop head".

[zakomiblood]

@blackwind92 WTH ARE YU SAYING main stream is full of garbage and just because he isnt the it in america doesnt mean he isnt in other countries and the only reason he isnt #1 rated by ppl cuz the ppl dont like hearing real stuff only that garbage that gets put out by mianstream tell me wat is lil waynes last album about it just having a title doesnt mean it represents anything

[blackwind92]

@zakomiblood seeing as how I'm not a fan of Lil' Wayne, I couldn't tell you that. But I'm also not a fan of Lupe Fiasco for pretty much the same reason; Lil' Wayne is overrated by the masses, but since Lupe isn't "mainstream", he's just overrated by you guys.

To keep it 100 though, I'm tired of replying to you people. This is my last comment. These are just my opinions; no need to start WW3 'cause I disagree.

[goldcrossnightmare]

15 people aren't champs

[03nasfan]

@goldcrossnightmare or maybe they just dont like the song.... get a life

[goldcrossnightmare]

@03nasfan Your telling me to get a life when your talking shit in comments on youtube . . .

[03nasfan]

@goldcrossnightmare yeah i am, bitch what the fuck are you going to do, its youtube

[goldcrossnightmare]

@03nasfan Jus think bout that for a minute your taking time out of your day to cuss out a teenager on a comment box on youtube this conversation is over

[bmoregangsta20]

sorry jadakiss..ur beat just got hijacked by the lyrical masterr

[enigmatikal]

Even in their panic room i will soon b forrest (whittaker) to the floor of it stethescope to the door of it listening for the break and i dont care how long gettin the combination takes ill b concentrating on the crack get it straight....... killed it lol

[chukd1]

@enigmatikal guy goes hard

[monkeywithchainsaw1]

Lupe Kills it, Lupe spits fire on every track hes on. Most underrated rapper.

[adsa507]

I thought it was John Cena

[videozown]

THE CABSS ARE HERE

[Boneyslim88]

When people don't get lupes metaphors and his wordplay it's not cus they are stupid or dumb. I know college grads that can't comprehend some of his songs but I can comprehend all of em and I barely made it out of highschool. It's called being an avid listener sure u gotta have some knowledge of what he is saying but 9x out of 10 if u listen to what he is sayin and the sounds he uses after his metaphors u could basically put 2 and 2 together.

[LukeSwagwalker]

GOD DAMN LUPE MURDERED THIS

[killuminatiplz]

chi town bitch

[blackwind92]

Am I missing something? 2 minutes in & this sh*t is trash. Does it get better later on or something?

[bently103]

@blackwind92 wtf are you talking about this shit goes hard all the way. You must be stupid cause its all going over your head, but the last verse is the best.

[killuminatiplz]

@blackwind92 lol, u jus dont understand his metaphors, ur a dumbass basically, he DONT say shit like " im hot like fire" ll

[blackwind92]

@killuminatiplz lol right, if you say so. By the way, calling someone a "dumbass" kind of loses its sting when you can't spell or use proper punctuation.

[r3d2skn]

@blackwind92 dis is now wayne-similies- its real hiphop-metaphors- prolly just went ova yo head. it does dat to most ppl dat go into every song lookin for just punchlines. read down on the comments im sure ull find sum help on the lyrics. thats what i do when they go over my head and it always helps

[bently103]

@r3d2skn so true a lot of people post the ones they get and you can get the whole song if you dont get it from all of them.

[ajax4132]

@blackwind92 what green are you smoking, get me on that

[withoutacare129]

@blackwind92 lol cuz he lost you within the first 10 seconds. You just cant hear Lupe...you gotta listen nigga.

[MendosiA]

@blackwind92 Yeah, you're missing everything. He's way over your head, brah. If you're callin him trash it simply means you can't comprehend his lyrical genius. Stick to the simple-ass rhymers or just listen to instrumentals and call it a day...

[bently103]

listen to super lupe rap the best song ive ever heard lupe is the best.

[CodysFavorites]

And I don't care how long gettin the combination takes

I be concentrating on the crack, get it straight

[Candaceofficialpage]

i notice the real spitters dont get much attention as a dumb down spitter.

[Boneyslim88]

Seanyj04 go back and listen to this song until u get every metaphor. If u think kiss shit is better then u need to go on his weak ass version Lu killed this shit way harder jada.

[seanyj04]

do you guys honestly think that lupe's shit was better than kiss ? come the fuck on get real

[cisseusa123]

@seanyj04 hell yeah...what the fuck are you on?

[seanyj04]

@cisseusa123 your bugging pound for pound jada wiould smash lupe, and honestly nobody killed this beat like Kiss

[cisseusa123]

@seanyj04 Please tell me you're joking? Lupe will MURDER Jadakiss...have you listened to ANY of his mixtapes..I know in your head you're judging him off songs like "Superstar" and "Kick Push", but I beg you to listen to more songs and you'll know why I'm saying what I'm saying. I swear you won't regret it.

[ResistanceMovementAK]

Realest nigga rapping...swear to god...or Allah...

this brother Mean....never Sold out....

keepin real to the roots..

respect u for that

peace and love...

[MoeB159]

[GrizT607]

@wizkid407 jadakiss isnt a wizkid like you so he probably wasnt listening from a computer?

[wizkid407]

@GrizT607 i can't tell if you just attempted to diss me or not...if so, that was terrible.

[GrizT607]

@wizkid407 yeah u got dissed my dude, u sound like a faggot. JADAKISS punched his computer when he heard this. why the fuck he aint punch his cd changer or something like that. faggot.

[wizkid407]

@GrizT607 You sound silly as fuck..maybe because this track was released online?

do your research before trying to act tough on youtube.

[StJimmy055]

@wizkid407 why?

[DaNYwatcher]

@wizkid407 LMAO THAT IS FUNNNNYYY i love it

[BLakNoSe777777]

@wizkid407 lol tru that jada gone harder i think

[ligon777]

@wizkid407 Why? In a futile attempt to snatch a style that's WAAAAAY more complexed (therefore more creative) than his? Just ask'n...
