Lupe Fiasco - Ignorant freestyle

[Fcukyouraelgood]

ironic that hes so intelligent on this ignorant shit

[ProducerKuush]

Which one do ya'll like better? J.Cole's or Lupe's ?

[jezues213]

how many years ago did this drop. I love the Chi rappers part. Common Sense the priest!! FnL2

[23djTbone]

Work like a mexican spend like a white man...Feelin real spiffy

[MorgieCSA45]

LUPE IS A GOD!!

[VAbornnbred]

This is better than any other version FNF

[DoYouKnowJimmy]

I HAVE THIS SHIT ON A CD FROM LIKe 7TH GRADE!!!!

thank u for puttin this on youtube

[fiascokid24]

This Freestyle alone is BETTER THEN NIGGAS ALBUMS now a days. PEROID.

[VAbornnbred]

And of course Lupe murks over everyone other version of this song FNF up!

[KRotheAutomaton]

this was a written freestyle dumbasses, if this was really of the top of the head there'd be no voice-over

[moismells]

╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮ fuck ignorant ppl

[trygvie]

Hard to believe that was a freestyle. Nice, but I think it was written.

[69killlluminati69]

@trygvie i think all the lupe freestyles are the old meaning of freestyle : a written verse to show an mcs skill not coming off the top

[omgomg138]

@trygvie It was . It was a freestyle in a sense that he spit a verse over an already popular beat. It actually should be called a Freeverse.

[youngj1921]

@omgomg138 No, you don't understand the meaning of freestyle. Long as he isn't reading off anything, you could write it down fifty times over as long as you don't read it when you rhyme it, its a freestyle.

[trygvie]

@youngj1921 So then every time he does a show with each song he has on the album (memorized) it's a freestyle according to what you're saying. A freestyle is off the top of the head, improvisation.

[youngj1921]

@trygvie There are two definitions of freestyle. 1 is the obvious off the dome rapping, the other is spitting a verse on an already existing beat.

[trygvie]

@youngj1921 What's the 2nd definition? U mean spittin' a verse that's already memorized? In either case it could be over a beat. Improvisation is freestyle. It's not anything thought out beforehand, other than a knowledge of ryhme, rhythm & delivery. The verses usually aren't thought out beforehand. The only thing I can give you is using verses in a different combination w/other verses. Otherwise, freestyle is all off the top of the head.

[trygvie]

@youngj1921 Unless of course you want to make a liberal definition of freestyle which anything goes & in that case why even have a definition at all?

[WRCxTHExGLASSESxOG]

@trygvie freestyles were originally pre-written verses that weren't on any specific subject, created to demonstrate the rapper's skill. Nowadays freestyle is used to describe a rap that is completely on the spot.

[youngj1921]

@trygvie Long as you aren't reading anything and it isn't a pre-existing verse (like one from a song).

[frankieyessss]

@trygvie Another definition, or should I say another example of freestyle is- the "style" or type of "flow" of delivery of lyrics over a beat.

[trygvie]

@frankieyessss Yeah, that'd be another aspect of the freestyle flow, the style.

[InstrumentalKINGblog]

Chicago, stand up!

[priest1991wing]

crazy stuff and yea lupe is definately a talented lyricist so any dummy failing to acknowledge that is a guess what ?................REAL DUMMY

[statsmusic]

one of the best

[Brickwallhood1]

i work like a mexican n' spend like a white man - }

[statsmusic]

@Brickwallhood1 yeah that line was crazy

[niks12]

Tupac had a song called "Time 2 Get My Drank On" search that up ;) Same instrumental (ofcourse it's sampled but just sayin ;D )

[saiyanwolf827]

why y'all debating this, that, so & so or whatever the fuck, enjoy the damn song

[HashedTag]

@HASSANSOWAVY130 ok

1st: That was disrespectful.

2nd: thats like saying Batman has superpowers , stfu you dont know music .

Drake goes in for sure but hes no where near Lupe's level

[j4mes570]

@HashedTag thats like saying batman has super powers...thats a classic line

[growe32]

@843stoner HAHAHAHA have you seen drake freestyle, he used his blackberry, Lupe's got his own style and timeing that no one could take from him if they tried. Its ignorant mainstream followers like you that paint rosy pictures for shitty rappers like lil wayne.

[keredyeksokal]

@843stoner You're just stupid.

[843stoner]

this dude is fuckin garbage how the fuck can u say he is a lyrical beast and drake is way better his lyrics actually tell stories and inspire

[SuklaaHB]

@843stoner drake is a good rapper. but he cannot freestyle. this is a freestyle. I think Drake is very good at telling stories with his lyrics and he has great songs but Lupe is definitely not garbage. If you really listen to his lyrics there's so much hidden meaning its just so far and away from most mainstream music. That being said, I do like Drake, but the rest of young money is trash. Lil wayne comes up with good metaphors and crap but his lyrics are completely random and irrelevant

[Intincse]

@SuklaaHB

This isn't a freestyle. This shit is written.

[kj762aa]

@Intincse lupe writes his shit all his rhymes. it was in a magazine article about talent, the atlantic.

[SuklaaHB]

@843stoner and Nikki Minaj is only popular because she does her weird voice change thing when she raps. For everyone else, note in my last comment I did say Lupe was ahead of "most" mainstream stuff but lets be honest Lupe is pretty mainstream himself. If you REALLY want some true underground hip-hop you'd be better off looking up the rappers under the rhymesayers label

[goodmusicthumbsup]

@SuklaaHB lol lupe isnt even mainstream only song i heared on radio of hs was super start 07 n words i never said lupe fiasco has tons of shit u prolly never heared

[BigRaffa17]

@843stoner man u must be High if u think drake is better. in no way is drake better than lupe. Lupe raps circles around drake

[BigRaffa17]

@843stoner drake doesn't have shit on lupe and obviously your a brainwashed dumbass if you can't understand Lupe.

[843stoner]

@BigRaffa17 shits wack

[BigRaffa17]

@843stoner lol smh obviuosly you will never get on this level of intellect

[do7your7own7research]

@843stoner

listen to "conflict diamonds"

[Jmatix100]

@843stoner Everybody quit picking on this fool.

for all of you who havent seen half baked

"you have smoked yourself RETARDED"

haha looking foolish saying Drake better on a LUPE FIASCO track get the fuck out

[whiteboynigg]

partly a big poppa beat

[Recess5000]

Lupe Fiasco lyrically is ahead of his time...check out my page

[xWordsToLiveByx]

Drake is ok, but Lupe is on a whole other level, lyrically Lupe pretty much shits on everyone else, just my opinion tho. :-)

[bassiedijk]

BEATS WE WANT GANGSTA LUPE COME ON PLZ EMINEM NEEDS U

[HiDefinition32]

so many aspiring artists on youtube. more bad than good. but if youre looking for an artist that is lyrically talented check this dude out. came across him a few weeks ago and have been following him ever since. just type in Available in HD Week 10- My Zone. The Link to download the MP3 is up there too!

[MrGeassR2]

LUPE STOMPS ON ALL THEM NIGGAS FACES!!

[snakelord2]

Ewwww Lupe's lines are sick Thats why dude my favirote rapper 4real

[MegaRay90]

its amazin that hes in a punk band too. Japanese Cartoon look it up.

[KennaStyles]

I always wondered why this is called the Ignorant freestyle when this freestyle came out before American Gangsta?

[sdotsom]

@KennaStyles I think the beat had been floatin around with Jay on it before American Gangsta, then they just switched it up, added Beanie, etc when that soundtrack came out. There's a version with a 3rd verse by Hov, I believe, instead of beans

[ops049]

@sdotsom i think ignorant shit was a possible black album cut, jay said later he shoulda put it on instead of one of the later tunes....maybe "Justify My Thug", not completely sure tho

[punkfunk212]

so many great lines created by my man lupe

[Niho10BiH]

My favorite Lupe freestyle!

[MrTyreek3]

bishop g dey told me i should come down cuzzin but i flately refuse i aint dumb down nuthin

[Nasfifa09]

FUTURE *WARNING* to all the rappers/mc dont let Lupe get on ur joints..cuz best believe its bound to RIP.. sorry jay, siegel, weezy, drake..

[MegaMac9999]

works like a mexican spends like a white man fire

[daijensmith]

Lupe is over everyones heads with his lyrics

[brom59]

Does anyone hear a verse... think about it... then get the chills because its so nice

I hope im not the only one

[bently103]

"jay don't mind me I'm just blowing my zone up, Doing it about as fly as a magget grown up"

[staterxs]

oh shit i lupe was drinking when i saw the thumbnail of this vid, but it the mic lol

[MaccaNight123]

I dont like his music but i admit he is a genius with words cannot denie that

[ajkingdaboss]

anybody know where i can download this ??

[martiandesigns]

Psshhh, too sick.

[gphred6figgaz]

"doing it bout as fly as a maggot grown up" smh dude sick

[broseidon14]

Who would dislike this video?

[MsPookieDear]

I'm an absolute supporter of Lupe all the way. From Food and Liquor to the album coming out now that took far too long. Everyone's quick to assume that the people who don't get Lupe's metaphors only dislike him for that reason alone. What you have to consider is that some people look towards music to get away from stress or just everyday life. Lupe tends to bring people back to the real world by facing real world issues. Are they a little biased? In certain aspects. But then who isnt? Its music.

[AppearingC3P0]

"Crucial's still the king" 1:25

King's of what? From what I know they got punked by Bone thugs

[StanHowse]

@AppearingC3P0 Haha hell yeah they did son, Crucial bit BTNH big time. BTNH will always be the kings of what they do, Lupe is the king of what he does.

[jaykiddfly1]

im just blowin my zone up, doin it bout as fly as a maggot growin up. he's nasty with it, no pun intended

[MyDogBrownie]

More rappers should Lupe and Mos Def, focusing on the intellectual rather than trying to just appeal to the crowd, as if rapping about material items was the only way to relate to an audience.

[MendosiA]

Here's the deal: people either can't keep up with what Lupe's saying or they aren't real fans of HipHop fans that can appreciate true LYRICAL GENIUS. It's simple, people who don't like Lupe Fiasco simply can't comprehend him. That's the only explanation that could possible make sense. They'd be better off sticking to instrumentals and and calling it a day. Lupe's so far over people's heads it's ridiculous. He and Em are untouchable lyrically. Both are out of control in distinct ways. Irrefutable

[TheEvox01]

@MendosiA Slow down dude there are rappers like Canibus that'll tear both Lupe and Eminem into pisses. Lyrically those 2 good but aren't the best.

[shadowj201]

@TheEvox01 nope

[bigheadboy2012]

@SuperGlaurung he didnt literally murder it? Are you retarded?

[eazydoesit01]

I think 6 People country music fans or dont know real hip hop

[Ovito85]

why arent black folks in chicago listening to this prophet? Most ignorant niggas reside in chicago.

[draciel80]

@Ovito85 not most, but a good portion. most of em are in detroit or atlanta

[SuperGlaurung]

Ew Lupe murdered this....literally. Drake's verse is way better...ew.

[TheKarnageKing]

@SuperGlaurung Lupe is just to good for you clearly, Drake isn't very lyrically inclined at all, I'm sure Lupe goes over and beyond your simple mind

[HASSANSOWAVY130]

@TheKarnageKing drake is better than lupe

[Ant718100]

@HASSANSOWAVY130 put the pipe down.. that's like saying Krillin is stronger Goku

[MrSam3689]

@TheKarnageKing wa about eminem yaw ?!!

[ihaveitundit]

lupe doesn't care about lil wayne he cares about making crack music.

[Wazzuphomiegunit]

what mixtapes this off of

[efonius]

I wonder why he never signed with jay?

[lasttruehiphopfan]

Brownbkid's freestyle "what the fuck is danger" go hard!!

[TheJozuki]

i dont know wat yall talkin about lil wayne is sick but lupe is ill

[BJakaBlake]

can i go to a song without having to see everybody sayin Wayne is Garbage..he was really good at one time (2004-07) maybe even 08..

[WSW2004]

@BJakaBlake Nope. He violated the law and he violated hip-hop. Tragically he went to jail for the wrong crime.

[xpaingiverrx12]

@WSW2004 not to mention he went to some bitch halfway house so he didnt get his ass beat and become some guys faggot

[Larh124]

*This Aint a Pen it's a Paint Brush and I intend to Rearrange how they Paint Us* LUPE IS SMART he is talking about the Music Industries! This Cat is the TRUTH out of MANY! Lupe is that SHINY LIGHT I was looking for out of the Darkness Rap Music is in Today! Don't sleep on this Cat he is TOO SLICK!

[siriustrauma]

lupe for president

[chukd1]

Jay dont mind me im jus blowing my zone up, doing it ab as fly as a maggot grown up, and still got a life thats backing the poems up, jus give me a folding chair im not after the throne BUT

this guy is a monster...

[Sakoesis]

This is one of the realest songs I have ever heard. The end quote is just amazing:

"Friend, nah; this ain't a pen; it's a paintbrush; and I intend to rearrange how they paint us; end"

[TheIceBoxLuv]

Lupe FNF UP

[JimastaJ]

Jay-Z still had the best version. His verses took time to digest.

[youknowdojo]

@JimastaJ oh you already know.. but lupe came in with that HEAT

[BaLLiSTiiCs]

Work Like A Mexican, Spend Like A White Man <3

[gopack2k]

im confused... he quoted a song from the cool (dumb it down), but this was before food and liquor

[dickmaguffin]

@gopack2k if i'm not mistaken, i believe he used that line as a sample at the end of dumb it down... if not then he just held onto that line since this freestyle and used it on the cool, but i'm pretty sure he just clipped it and put it in at the end of D.I.D.

[LuckyNumberAce]

@gopack2k This is probably where the idea originated. He might of taken the line then made a whole song out of it.

[Panikzekilla]

@gopack2k People had been telling him to dumb it down for a long time because of his complex lyrics and he made the song dumb it down to comemerate his complex stylings

[Fiasco117]

"this aint a pen its a paint brush and i intend to rearrange how they paint us" - just when you thought hip hop was flooded with negativity here comes lupe 2 the rescue

[Nr4747]

@Fiasco117 Actually, in other countries, positive Hip Hop is still pretty prominent, although the "gangsta wave" splashed over after 50 Cent's "rise" - I still like American Hip Hop the most, though, it's the impressive original !

But 2 good lines from Samy Deluxe (greatest rapper in Europe, translated from German):

"Life is a grey wall, my raps are the neon signs."

"Similar goals on different ways throughout this wonderland, some are hoping for deliverance, some are waiting for their doom."

[eviltwin22825]

apparently lupe got the lowest quality mix of the beat possible lol... still dope shit though

[zapdos2]

wat beat is this?

[hardgetremayne]

jay-z's ignorant shit

[superman200000]

Lupe has the best metaphors in the game you may think Wayne has em but you get waynes metaphors most people never get Lupe's, so thats why so many peopl are on waynes nuts and Lupe has so many hatas, dumbasses get wayne but dont get Lupe, so you hate people who get Lupe like Lupe so get Lupe's lyrics read them get the meaning behind his science, then you'll stop hatin dumbass

[tjdgus1993]

@superman200000 that is real true but wayne has more hatars than lupe. almost nobody hates lupe, cuz they all know hes a beast.

[RandomsInCheese]

@superman200000 i'd say wayne has alot more haters then lupe

[aNtHoNyDcKiDdO]

@superman200000 What metaphors are on here? Just curious....

[PeterJohnCC]

@aNtHoNyDcKiDdO well theres, its not a pen its a paintbrush, meaning its not just one layer of stuff its like a tapestry of amazing and theres some others

[aNtHoNyDcKiDdO]

@PeterJohnCC Can you point me out please. thanks

[IcedMic]

@superman200000 ya...lupe fiasco the first rapper i had to use a lyrics website for to be honest like Twilight Zone if u get Twilight Zone the first time u played it your a genious in my eyes ;p

[tomahawkintheface]

@superman200000 Your right, but Jay-Z has the best metaphors. If you disagree just ask Lupe.

[darknessavalanche]

@tomahawkintheface Jay-Z had Lupe rewrite pressure to keep up, listen to the original called Trials and Tribulations

[bigboigman]

@superman200000 wayne is garbage, mainstream club songs
