Lupe definitely had biggies style in mind when writing this song; both the lyrical style and theme of the song are very similar to biggie. In fact the beginning of verse three is just like a part in "my downfall" off Life after Death. I like it though, i think lupe does what biggie does almost as good as him.
i just dont care why people ty to doubt dis young man he spitts da truth an his methaphors are just fuckn crazy an everybodys just 2 fuckn dumb 2 realize what he b sayn 4 real man he's one of the greatest mc's an just 2 meet an tll him personaly an tll him that would b great lyk 4 real he's one of my biggest influences nxt 2 my big bro
Ok so the Boston celtics use to have a player named Joseph forte. B4 Jorge posada played for the Yankees he played for the Boston redsox. Then when he says the next Part he says who want horse play thoroghbreds wit colt 4-5 in a Porsche. A colt is a baby horse a 4-5 is a gun and on the Porsche the emblem is a horse hence the metaphor I just said. I hope that helped!!!
Yo did any of yall realize the reference to Biggie in this song. That s**t went over my head a couple of months back. Diddy got a new song with Dirty Money group that got the Big line in it. The Brooklyn line
@hahayoumad1 shame lasers and friend of the people took him back down to top 100 or some shit lol. he's got mad skills, so sad what's happened to him the last year or so
I've heard this some where before and i liked it and never could find it again. Now that I know the name of it, I'll remember it and know where to come hear it. No screw that! I'm downloading it and putting it on my phone.
i know lupe ain't on his gangsta stuff no more, but you know he has to have respect for the illmatic nas and big l. it would be nice to have been able to hear a track from the illmatic nas, gangsta lupe, and big L.
for reals if lupe would drop a gangster album he would put all these "gangster " rappers out of a job plus it would teach em that a rapper that dont spit gangster came through and did it better shit lol
@trynabreath THAT UNDER GOUND SHIT GOOD ENOUGH BUT TO MAKE THE ALBUM WOULD KILL IT HE GO MAKE ALOT OF FAKE RAPPERS MAD CUZ HE WAY BETTER THEY DONT WANT THEY JOBS TOOKIN
you are missing the point. he doesn't play that game. and trust me the dudes playing the gangster image are in fact playing a game regardless of how seriously they take it or their selves. that shit is ignore therefore its evil.
he's all about the good fight. he's a servant of the people.
0:28 - 0:37 is soo sick, "Keep vigile cuz the peps want me to sleep wit where da fish do so when I sleep I keep my eyes open like the fish do...so oficial" You don't hear lines like that no more. I'm not going to dis on todays players in the game but the game rightnow needs more guys like this.....rap with meaning and content....quality and quantity. A good balance between a rap loaded with lyrics and loaded with meaning.
LUPE.N.D. was pushed back indefinitely which means it will come out whenever but not soon but he releasing 3 more albums before lupe.n.d. including the the great american album
"We all from the streets but do the broadway", "Pistols next to what I piss through", "I keep my eyes open like a fish do", "They want see me in hell like breathin in with nines to blow my mind"; How the hell does he come up with shit like this. Lupe iz a lyrical genius.
lipe was raw when he was spittin gangsta and he still hot spittin what he spit now a days..all around great mc..one of the best in the game,no doubt..i hope he keeps makin albums and not make "L-U-P END" his last one
be real to yourself, name 3 tracks with betha cam and L... u cant name a man that had 1 album, and a subpar album at the time he released it, 4 mics solid album but son... people dont talk about L on a global scale, and they dont know him to tell the truth... its ridiculous to mention him as GOAT with one subpar album and not that much of an impact with the album... PAC(5 albums) AND BIG(2 ALBUMS) 7 albums between them and they are recognized as the best EVER... because of impact... common sense
Um, when Biggie died he had 2 albums and Pac had about 3, I don't judge rappers by how many albums or songs they have, I go by skill, I think Biggie was better than Pac and L was better than Biggie, that's just my opinion.
