So Lupe decided one day to start rappin on a deeper level cuz he realized his gangsta tracks weren't helping the general community much. What I wanna is how the hell did he (maybe not so much) suddenly pull it off? When Lupe spits deep you know it, nothing of his is weak (minus mixtapes and Lasers) in that regard.
Reading up his history makes sense on how he can think like that but I wanna know how he made that transition
Lupe is like the friend that you tell a joke to, and he's like that shit sucked, but then later when he's among a group of friends he steals that shit and said he came up with it himself. Piece of shit.
LOL! I think because he's more out there with the younger people like me he feels he shouldn't spit that type of material like "Gangsta Up In Here" or "Ooh" OR "Afterlife" THE LIST GOES ON! But now my mothers able to listen to his stuff, so kudos to my main man Lupe.
@TheDominicfly if u look at The Cool as a concept album, they had to be pretty gritty. The main character of the album decided to play the game and sell gangsta rap, he then got caught up in the foolishness of the game, in which he ended up getting got (The Die)

i Hate People Like that Who Be Like just Bcuz your not Hood and Some BS u cant be a Rapper or Real ya Know it Ain't where you from its How you Live. or Living
@MHS032 if you think eminem is inspirational..... oh kid you should choose better inspirations. lil waynes songs are just jiberish and stupid, you should put some more thought into your words.
I love the amt of people that post how they'd beat Lupe's ass . . . Not even realizing that if you follow Lupe, he's actually a black belt... in more than one style, including weapons. The biggest problem any fighter can face is underestimating their opponent based on image alone.
well we already see that @1BlakMoney lupe is realer thn u. u can be a positive rapper, and come out the ghetto. come visit memphis, where i live, and been livn at my whole life. u aint gotta rap about sellin crack, fuckin hoes, shootin niggas. they the reason y ppl dyin. y would u choose that ova somethn positive. its stupid the way rappers act. i do kno that wen i get up out my ghetto, that imma bring smethn positive to the world.
man im from chicago. and hes right. if you say youre not in a gang people will look at you like you stupid. or you may get beat up for being scared to tell what gang youre in. and yes yo basically cant come outside unless youre part of a gang. or you wont make it. hes right
Lupe is the realness- he's responsible, and has courage that can only be motivated by love. In my opinion he's unquestionably the best any way you slice it, technically and otherwise. 'You gotta be educated when goin' against the grain, the truth is limitless in it's range" Lupe Fiasco
As a person who dosent listen to rap or hip hop very often at all I must say that when a friend said I should check out conflict diamonds, i did, when i first heard lupe on that track instantly his deminer caught my attention, not just another ghetto to stardome hood rat talking about guns, drugs, cars and bling. He speaks about real issues that are otherwise ignored in our society. Good eye opener for the sheltered masses, Eminem youve been knocked to #2 in my book, Kanye your still last
I'm just an unselfish person genuinely trying to help and speaking on the current state of our world. If I'm not part of the solution, I'm part of the problem. This is as real as it gets and if you happen to disagree, that is completely fine. We all have our own brains and can form our own ideas and express them freely :] If you do agree feel free to share/spread. It has nothing to do with me-no ulterior motives, rather just a message, a reminder :]
Big ups to everyone who made it off da block. We can't hustle for ever. Every man/woman want's to provide for them and their family a better life! Big ups to everyone still in the hustle. Sometimes you may not want to take the option provided to you but keep in mind it's still an option.
He's a real inspiration , all these other "rappers" need to put tracks like his out there , maybe then people wouldn't be as ignorant as they are now .
This brother has shaken off his mental shackles his slave master tried to place on him and chosen not to conform to those powers of ignorance and dumbing down which continue plauge our people. He stood like a REAL MAN and chosen not to put out garbage about stuff that doesn't matter. Wake up Black People and get off the plantation!
@birdman285 Physically? No, he doesn't appear to be tough; but, I'm going to quote Mark Twain here by saying 'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.' Ever heard this before?
@birdman285 , Yeah, he looks the same build as L'il Wayne: not much to his pint size. The only solution is that Fiasco raps to bring us black people up while Wayne brings us down.
Before listening to Lupe I thought all rap was about drugs, money, girls, and killing people. I refused to listen to it, instead I became a poet, trying to make meaningful poems.

Lupe is so true. This guy never ceases to amaze me when it comes to his lyrics and his work ethic. He is an honest and humble man, and for that he has earned my respect. Greetings from Mexico, Wasalu!
i wish more folks in the biz would have this realization and step up to being griots, uplifting folks with the art on some Black Arts Movement and not on some self destruction cultivation wackness...
upmost respect to Lupe Fiasco,..genuine good person..changed for the better for the people....most artists don't do that...he practically changed before he blew up, because leading people down the wrong path is 100% somethin to regret...much Love and Respect Lupe Fiasco.
@MrAfromusic Exactly. All of these rappers that want to make a quick buck go for the "drug" game in rap which is just pumping out meaningless tracks with hot beats to make some fast cash. Talking about hustling and always being in the hood and just loving that life. Ya Ross loves selling so much that he got out of the hood as quickly as possible to be an entertainer. Hip Hop has a big influence in ghettos and garbage rap is sending taking advantage of the fiend infested environment. No one want
@MrAfromusic No one in the right conscious really wants to be a victim of that environment. And once a person makes it out of that env. and is just looking to stunt on people, the music turns out to be a part of the cycle. Making a quick buck off of meaningless music that promotes people to stay down where they are at so they can use some of their drug money on your next garbage CD. It's the easiest hustle there is so AC Hood etc go for the $ not seeing the bigger picture like Lupe. LupeIsLegenD
Ayo! If you're down with hip hop or ganjah, then peep the vids on my channel & make sure u google "Virginia's 4 Bubblers Mixtape" & download it 4 FREE !!!! Homebaze !
People can't handle truth? What truth, that we need to change our mindstate, that we have senseless killings, that in black communities we can't live worry free because young people are ignorant and it's elders have given up on em. The truth is, I'm about sick and tired of this gangsta rap stuff, seriously. Second when gangsta rap did hit the rap scene it was not like what N.w.a. was and that was also the media labeling it gangsta rap
Rappers that glamorize gun play usually haven't been a victim of it, but I will say that rap and especially 'gangsta rap' has shed light on many of our children's hopes, wishes, fears, & horrors that middle and upper middle class Americans didn't believe were even possible let alone evident until they started hitting the news. That's the positive, the negative is what's evident and obvious about 'gangsta rap', its influence over young minds looking to connect with something or someone.
@BiggIshh702 Not anymore. Maybe in the 2pac days but now gangster rap glamorizes the murder, drug selling and torture of our women. That's why I used to love Pac. He talked about thugging but he rarely talked about selling drugs or destroying our community with drugs to make a profit. Today these rappers are leading our your astray. I grew up on PE, tribe called quest. The gangster rappers used to be far and few between. Now they have flooded the market. Positive messages get buried.

People who dont know hip hop will think its all gangsta just like people who dont know rock music think its all killing, being evil and worshiping devil because im pretty sure its definitely not although i dont know rock,like when lil wayne put out that rock album i dont listen to wayne but i know all his fans were like you see this is rock but its not, wat if a rock artist put out a rap album jus sayin "yo yo yo bitch im gonna kill you" its just sterotypical shit
@Trill104 I know, right? And it's even worse...the majority (the dumb people) act like THEY'RE right, and try and look at you funny. Sigh. I remember hearing once that we're living in a world where wrong is right and right is wrong. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now, as I get older, I'm beginning to realize that that's one of the most true things I've ever heard.
"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me." Period.
He grew up (like we all should) and put the foolishness of his youth behind him. Real talk. He speaks of progression and not regression which most people don't understand that's why niggas question his "street cred.".
You know how they do - "Sitting in the project hallways talking about how they be in the projects all day..."
Lupe Fiasco's song "Dumb it Down", in my opinion, is a subliminal diss to rappers like Wayne, who talk about degrading women, making a milli, and drugs. If Lil Wayne is at the top because he talks about shit like that, then hip hop is dead. Lupe doesn't even care about being the best, listen to "Hurt Me Soul".
if wayne is so wack than why is he at the top of the rap game and lupe isnt? yall keep saying lupe is underrated and all that but the point is NOBODY wants to hear what he has to say. Sure he says "real" shit but i dont want to hear that all day my life is bad enough. I'd rather listen to wayne, who would take me to a place where i want to be in my life, money, women, clothes. Music is entertainment and thats exactly what Lil Wayne does.
@hoodfella166 hes at the top because people are stupid and nobody wants to hear the truth. and our music scene hates change and lupe is one hell of a change
wayne also rap about doing drugs and killing people. most rappers these days promote negativity, im not going to stunt like i dont blast his music but when i need to listen to some true lyrics i put in lupe. if lupe went back on his word and spit the nonscene that most rappers do, there is no doubt he would be at the top.
@hoodfella166 wayne tells people what they wanna hear with a catchy beat. lupe SPEAKS HIS OWN MIND and shares his own thoughts which is why hes so real wit his music. waynes a fuckin semi retarted midget who cant rhyme for shit. ya sure waynes at the top of the game, but when you look at the amount of talent, wayne aint shit
@joeysteez1 i have heard one wayne song which actually talks about real things and its politics (from rebirth) and he can be ok when he doesnt speak retarded but lupe clearly is almost always talking about real things
@hoodfella166 Yo homie. Ima be real with you. I listen to Lil' Wayne as much as the next fan but I like Lupe better because he understands the people. I understand where you/'re coming from with the whole "Go to a different place" but when are you going to get to that place? You have to understand that people enjoying listening to real situations. Why do you think Drake is so popular? He talks about his relationships. So please don't diss any rapper.
@hoodfella166 You want to be at a place in your life where you have all the money, clothes, and women you want? That says alot about you. Take a look at Loon, the rapper who used to be on Bad Boy Records, he converted to Islam , because he confessed that that lifestyle is an empty one. He had no piece of mind. Lil Wayne, yeah, he probably has all the money he wants, but he's in jail now, and has child support up to eyes. No one wants to hear Lupe? Ha, it's because no one wants to hear the truth.
@hoodfella166 Music is much more than a form of entertainment. Music is an art and should be treated like art. All of us Lupe fans say he's underrated because he is in fact underrated. You say you don't want to hear a rapper talk about real shit because your life is bad enough? Instead of being down about it, relate to it. "What constitutes a prostitute is the pursuit of profit." Your precious Lil Wayne should take some life lessons from Lupe. Music is the universal language,and Lupe shows that.
@hoodfella166 lil wayne isnt what i like to listen to..he leads people astray, his life is bad as it is..even if he is making lots of money he doesnt look very happy with all the material accomplishment..he drinks cold medecine everyday to cover the pain..he even made a song about how he feels like dying when the drugs effects fade..what kind of role model is that?
@Smoketreez777 you are an ignorant little prick, Lupe never said he was in a gang or nothin. You don't gotta be livin like that to kno how to rap. He raps about real everyday problems like poverty or domestic abuse. or even the good things that life throws at you like success. It's little bitches like wocka flacka that make hip-hop look bad and materialistic, and lil iggnit ass muthafuckas like you that make the hip hop culture look unintellegent
@youngvidal1 Wayne is the fakest person in the rap game, Lupe is the realest nigga in it. Stop getting it twisted lil faggot. go watch some more gay porn with wayne and baby
So Lupe decided one day to start rappin on a deeper level cuz he realized his gangsta tracks weren't helping the general community much. What I wanna is how the hell did he (maybe not so much) suddenly pull it off? When Lupe spits deep you know it, nothing of his is weak (minus mixtapes and Lasers) in that regard.
Reading up his history makes sense on how he can think like that but I wanna know how he made that transition

Lupe is so true. This guy never ceases to amaze me when it comes to his lyrics and his work ethic. He is an honest and humble man, and for that he has earned my respect. Greetings from Mexico, Wasalu!

@MrAfromusic Exactly. All of these rappers that want to make a quick buck go for the "drug" game in rap which is just pumping out meaningless tracks with hot beats to make some fast cash. Talking about hustling and always being in the hood and just loving that life. Ya Ross loves selling so much that he got out of the hood as quickly as possible to be an entertainer. Hip Hop has a big influence in ghettos and garbage rap is sending taking advantage of the fiend infested environment. No one want

@MrAfromusic No one in the right conscious really wants to be a victim of that environment. And once a person makes it out of that env. and is just looking to stunt on people, the music turns out to be a part of the cycle. Making a quick buck off of meaningless music that promotes people to stay down where they are at so they can use some of their drug money on your next garbage CD. It's the easiest hustle there is so AC Hood etc go for the $ not seeing the bigger picture like Lupe. LupeIsLegenD

People can't handle truth? What truth, that we need to change our mindstate, that we have senseless killings, that in black communities we can't live worry free because young people are ignorant and it's elders have given up on em. The truth is, I'm about sick and tired of this gangsta rap stuff, seriously. Second when gangsta rap did hit the rap scene it was not like what N.w.a. was and that was also the media labeling it gangsta rap

Rappers that glamorize gun play usually haven't been a victim of it, but I will say that rap and especially 'gangsta rap' has shed light on many of our children's hopes, wishes, fears, & horrors that middle and upper middle class Americans didn't believe were even possible let alone evident until they started hitting the news. That's the positive, the negative is what's evident and obvious about 'gangsta rap', its influence over young minds looking to connect with something or someone.

@BiggIshh702 Not anymore. Maybe in the 2pac days but now gangster rap glamorizes the murder, drug selling and torture of our women. That's why I used to love Pac. He talked about thugging but he rarely talked about selling drugs or destroying our community with drugs to make a profit. Today these rappers are leading our your astray. I grew up on PE, tribe called quest. The gangster rappers used to be far and few between. Now they have flooded the market. Positive messages get buried.

Lupe used to spit gangsta shit on his early mixtapes. Granted they were much better bars than most of these "gansta" rappers out.
Just listen to Absolute Freestyle
"you know my mind remain on gunplay/ while y'all niggas sleep like jermaine on sunday/ the heat stay packed like the train on monday"
If that isn't rapping about guns I don't know what is.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but now, as I get older, I'm beginning to realize that that's one of the most true things I've ever heard.

"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me." Period.
He grew up (like we all should) and put the foolishness of his youth behind him. Real talk. He speaks of progression and not regression which most people don't understand that's why niggas question his "street cred.".
You know how they do - "Sitting in the project hallways talking about how they be in the projects all day..."

javp95 1 year ago 3
Lupe Fiasco's song "Dumb it Down", in my opinion, is a subliminal diss to rappers like Wayne, who talk about degrading women, making a milli, and drugs. If Lil Wayne is at the top because he talks about shit like that, then hip hop is dead. Lupe doesn't even care about being the best, listen to "Hurt Me Soul".
blacknerdking13 1 year ago
if wayne is so wack than why is he at the top of the rap game and lupe isnt? yall keep saying lupe is underrated and all that but the point is NOBODY wants to hear what he has to say. Sure he says "real" shit but i dont want to hear that all day my life is bad enough. I'd rather listen to wayne, who would take me to a place where i want to be in my life, money, women, clothes. Music is entertainment and thats exactly what Lil Wayne does.

wayne also rap about doing drugs and killing people. most rappers these days promote negativity, im not going to stunt like i dont blast his music but when i need to listen to some true lyrics i put in lupe. if lupe went back on his word and spit the nonscene that most rappers do, there is no doubt he would be at the top.
carloswjr18 1 year ago
@hoodfella166 wayne tells people what they wanna hear with a catchy beat. lupe SPEAKS HIS OWN MIND and shares his own thoughts which is why hes so real wit his music. waynes a fuckin semi retarted midget who cant rhyme for shit. ya sure waynes at the top of the game, but when you look at the amount of talent, wayne aint shit

@hoodfella166 Yo homie. Ima be real with you. I listen to Lil' Wayne as much as the next fan but I like Lupe better because he understands the people. I understand where you/'re coming from with the whole "Go to a different place" but when are you going to get to that place? You have to understand that people enjoying listening to real situations. Why do you think Drake is so popular? He talks about his relationships. So please don't diss any rapper.
JayZabalaTV 1 year ago 3
@hoodfella166 You want to be at a place in your life where you have all the money, clothes, and women you want? That says alot about you. Take a look at Loon, the rapper who used to be on Bad Boy Records, he converted to Islam , because he confessed that that lifestyle is an empty one. He had no piece of mind. Lil Wayne, yeah, he probably has all the money he wants, but he's in jail now, and has child support up to eyes. No one wants to hear Lupe? Ha, it's because no one wants to hear the truth.
XxxxSunsetxxxX 1 year ago
@hoodfella166 Music is much more than a form of entertainment. Music is an art and should be treated like art. All of us Lupe fans say he's underrated because he is in fact underrated. You say you don't want to hear a rapper talk about real shit because your life is bad enough? Instead of being down about it, relate to it. "What constitutes a prostitute is the pursuit of profit." Your precious Lil Wayne should take some life lessons from Lupe. Music is the universal language,and Lupe shows that.

@Smoketreez777 you are an ignorant little prick, Lupe never said he was in a gang or nothin. You don't gotta be livin like that to kno how to rap. He raps about real everyday problems like poverty or domestic abuse. or even the good things that life throws at you like success. It's little bitches like wocka flacka that make hip-hop look bad and materialistic, and lil iggnit ass muthafuckas like you that make the hip hop culture look unintellegent
