Lupe Fiasco - Theme Music To a Drive By RARE

[exactlyny]

One of the BEST ever! Just listen to what this man says..wish he was on one of my beats..

[littletony19]

Jesus H this is real music!

[AgentConstruct]

Lupe said it NO ONE DOES IT BETTER

and i agree no one does rap better than lupe

[twin78]

The Lupe sampled version of the song sounds better than the Wale sample version.

[withoutacare129]

Wait...Wale got this sample? Thats bullshit...Lupe couldnt get the sample cleared so thats why this masterpiece ended up being a bonus track instead of on the actual album.

[poetmm]

lupe lasers was not the best but it was alright but his next album should be great his word play is to ill

[DJRedMEDIA]

@poetmm lasers despite it's appeal to mainstream listeners, still had some classic tracks like "All Black Everything", that's okay though, because 10 years later when we look back on Lupe's albums to date, Lasers will be a small drop of ink on a masterpiece of a legacy.

[1LIFEtoWIN]

@DJRedMEDIA very very true all black everything is good and laser was you know eh but how come people dont seem to give props to words i never siad sure it may have an electric pop-ish beat but the lyrics are very much lupe fiasco

[LightDarknessHero]

Even though the pitch is lowered, this just gives me an image of how f&l 2 will be since that will not be the record company's album but Lupe's like how food and liquor and the cool said on the cover said, "Lupe Fiasco's"

[JinTheJedi]

Perfect Intro song to the greatest of my time

[hotshitonly1]

i can't explain how much yall don't understand what this mean is saying.............oh lord

[ocsjc]

i did a drive by to this

[ParZero13]

@ocsjc i hope u really didn't do tht cuz ddats like a kick in da balls to lupe.. and if u didn't and tried to b funny well its not so either way ur retarded for posting some stupid shyt like this..

[hotshitonly1]

@ocsjc no u didnt u bum ass goofy!

[datboiright06]

some one changed the pitch of the track. His voice sounds a little low.

[Boneyslim88]

"Cuz I can't feel a field nigga chains

though I covet mine, so I covered mine in bling

then I bumped into a bum and covered mine in shame

then I bumped into a hun and uncovered mine again (uh)

diamonds done under minded mayne, they give a nigga with no mac another kinda game

see money talks in another kinda slang"

Lyrically no one that has come out in the last ten years can go as deep as he can other then jay elect!!!

[ImHugeInJapan93]

@Boneyslim88 i agree. Id throw blu in that list too imo tho.

[danie641]

@Boneyslim88 this whole song jus go so hard. his words r deep and he makes sense. something that rappers these days don't use. the word play is so intelligent and flows like wow.

[EastBeast91]

this aint lupe... either that or there are 2 released versions of this song. voice aint the same.

[TheBruceduece]

@EastBeast91 its def him. flows the same an he's talkin bout chill

[PdubzCrew]

@EastBeast91

its lupe fiasco, this track was recorded in 05-06 it was suppose to be on F&L

[VibrationIsSound]

@EastBeast91 this is def Lupe you can tell how he pronounces his words, plus sometimes he just lowers his voice a pitch or two i do the same thing when i mix a song.

[THEWEBKINGS]

Lupe........best rapper in the world, besides..... nobody haha

[cokewaveism]

super super rare been looking for this track for years

[mmckoy24]

Lupe Fiasco is the Best Emcee of this generation and arguably ever

[MrKinkysloth]

@mmckoy24

thank god, u called him an Emcee and not a rapper..

A beacon of hope... :D

[yungblackpoet09]

@mmckoy24 and then lasers dropped...

[KINGth3GReaT1]

wat is this off????

[Peachesfolife]

@KINGth3GReaT1 It's from the special edition of Lupe's Food & Liquor album

[ReturnOfTheZ]

Incredible song, but some people are seriously overrating Lupe. Yeah, dude is one of the greatest lyricists of all time. But by far the best MC of all time? I guess I can understand why one would call him the best MC, but by far? He's hardly "by far" better than Pharoahe Monch, Nas, Elzhi, One Be Lo, Jay Electronica, ect. That being said, dude is definitely a top-tier talent. This is track is just... Amazing. That's the only way to describe it. Completely and utterly amazing.

[raytheman64]

@ReturnOfTheZ i second that

[Zebro56]

@ReturnOfTheZ I think that's what he was sayin on Beautiful Lasers

[DJRedMEDIA]

@ReturnOfTheZ I will correct him in politically correct fashion, Lupe Fiasco is one of the few artists that rose up in the 2000's and actually keeps it true to the style of Hip Hop without buying into all the trap music and gangsta rap that has dominated this era. In other words, if Lupe had rapped during the 90's and was around today, we'd put him up there with Nas and Wu-Tang, but if I had to guess, I would say that if he keeps putting out material he will be a shining star in this drought.

[ReturnOfTheZ]

@DJRedMEDIA But there are plenty of artists that are the same way. Jay Electronica, Blu, Shad, Fashawn, Tunji ect. all started rapping after 2000 and are far from gangsta rappers. Also, the Wu-Tang Clan is no less gangsta rap than any rapper out there today. They're far better lyricists than the average rapper nowadays, but they're 100% gangsta rap.

[zlindrin]

The first time I heard this song back in 2007 I wished I could have told every rapper out to just quit and go to McD's and start flippin burgers cuz there was no way anyone could captivate me musically like Lupe did and does on this.. Pure genius on this song and even though he doesnt sell a huge amount of albums like a lot of other rappers he is by far the most talented and the most lyrically superior MC. IMO if you dont like Lupe you just cant have a functioning brain.

[TheMaya0425]

@zlindrin i love your comment and lupe is the best rapper out so intelligent i love him and he dosen't get half the credit he deserves and thank you for being a fan also and supporting him :)

[1214gooner]

@TheMaya0425 @zlindrin Thank you to both of you... The existence of people like you keep me sane, knowin I'm not the only one recognizing Lu is the best in the game...

[TheMaya0425]

@1214gooner hey thank you for also supporting lupe :)

[lilkdub503]

@zlindrin or not simply enjoy him; this is a dope song tho

[Knicks33Fan]

how is this song rare? food & liquor...

[overbanked]

@Knicks33Fan You must have the F&L with the limited edition bonus tracks, which is pretty uncommon indeed. I heard this song from a mixtape.

[Zebro56]

@Knicks33Fan i's limited addtion

[mistanigga]

biiig tune

[MrBoras]

Detectives can't decipher as they listen through the wire as I accept the call

And listen to the lifer

Getting religion and making wudu in the sink of your cell

Reciting Al-Fatiha in the kitchen

Indeed on his deen and in addition to doing dishes

[overbanked]

"Evil minded like Krang"

[ImHugeInJapan93]

@overbanked I dont get it. explain plz

[overbanked]

@ImHugeInJapan93 Explain what??

[taylored24]

This may be my favorite Lupe Song.

[idropbombes]

imma be rockin this beat HARD this summer. ridin through the streets bumpin this track...summertime...no worries. Good times ahead

[TheSTIguy04]

omgoodness this beat to this song is just flawless.....love how he flows so naturally....why is this not in the clubs and shit???

[MJ28RAMS]

Lil Wayne could never write anything as beautiful or complex as this.

[Peachesfolife]

@MJ28RAMS That's very true. Lil Wayne is good at what he does: making clever rhymes about repetitive nothingness. He's a pro at that. I enjoy it. Not knocking him, but I agree that he DEFINITELY couldn't do this.

[ADdadirector]

This is BY FAR my favorite Lupe joint... makes a bit emotional when I listen to it

[kuggle7]

cant stop listening

[billilac09]

why the fuck doesnt this song have a billion views

[ImHugeInJapan93]

@billilac09 lol bc ppl would rather die than think.

[billilac09]

@ImHugeInJapan93 lol real

[Gunshinzero]

WOW! I studied this song countless times to get the lyrics. Good job. Most people post lyrics that are garbage. If you don't know what something is, look it up. Don't replace it with the closes thing you can think of. lol

[kingaeonsage9012]

damn....i guess ppl neva heard of sampling....

[JimastaJ]

Wale & Lupe sampled the same song.

[kingcam0775]

This my favorite lupe track, been lookin for it for years.

[PoloBoyPrince]

you lowered the pitch lol

[AlphaAccount]

(Don't get me wrong, also love a lot of songs from "The Cool", but I like EVERY song on F&L)

[AlphaAccount]

Wow, didn't even know this song existed, only reason I found it is because I'm making a "Food & Liquor" playlist. XD First album, every single song was good.

[JonnieHaywardChannel]

2nd Lupe Fiasco song I ever heard..wasn't expecting him to be this dope after hearing Kick Push..ever since this track he's been my favorite rapper

[1214gooner]

"When they was on back of a nickel like Monticello

And the underworld had to be smarter than Donatello

No honor amongst fellows

It's harder than sitting with a blind man and trying to describe yellow"

........ The best.........

[jbsalmqg]

I can't think of another song that Lu snapped on harder then this.

[RaqifHart]

@jbsalmqg emperors soundtrack?

[jbsalmqg]

@RaqifHart another hard track but Theme Music just FLOWSSSS

[TH3N3XTKB24]

@jbsalmqg little weapon, words i never said

[CarlosEnrique408]

@jbsalmqg listen to switch. lupe fiasco - switch. e changes up his rap style everytime he says switch. its impressive hands down my favorite rapper. young jinsu is number 2.

[MeloMarsh100]

@jbsalmqg 1st and 15th.

[franklinpjr]

@jbsalmqg failure real raw if u break it down n pressure the origanal w/o jay z is really really good

[1214gooner]

@franklinpjr  Failure isn't raw.... It's the best song ever written...

[TheAnarchyRulez]

@jbsalmqg Switch or SLR

[jjn3420]

Thanks so much for posting this.. its the only version on youtube thats not an instrumental

[shaem2]

[ACtheGhost]

[datkidepik93]

im actually mad upset bcoz ive always seen the title of this song but never heard it (i had the standard version of food & liquor) and then i heard beautiful bliss last year and thought the song was soo ill. then i now hear this and it makes beautiful bliss less special

[blakswan08]

lupe...harder then sitting with a blind man amd tryna describe yellow...wow

[blakswan08]

great upload. i couldnt find it either. lupe is right...no one does it better

[DGrizzle2013]

[chaosinorderrr]

[outerspacejones]

[shimoto5]

@chaosinorderrr no he sampled the song the lupe sampled -

[btuard]

@chaosinorderrr actually they both sampled the spinners song no one does it better

[thelupendblog]

@chaosinorderrr Wale didn't sample this song..both song sample the same track: The Spinners - "(Do It Do It) No One Does It Better"

[twin78]

@thelupendblog That was ILL! I like how they flipped that sample! That song was from "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" soundtrack.

[taylored24]

@xaydaman93 that's because it is, Wale used the beat

[shimoto5]

@xaydaman93 they use the same sample

[Eznoautographs]

@xaydaman93 Wale sampled it , thats why .... That and The Spinners is how Wale got that beat

[Nadetastic44]

THANK YOU!! I cannot find this song anywhere!!

[Sakrillmatic]

@Nadetastic44 Its on his mixtape "Da Exam"

[xPersianSkaterx]

@Sakrillmatic i'm pretty sure it was on his album Food & Liquor, but i could be wrong

[xOmniCloudx]

@xPersianSkaterx Only on limited edition versions of it though
